OK I'm going to go and say that I don't think it will go this way at all. Instead, I think we'll see some sort of Visor device come out that uses augmented reality to put lots of virtual screens in your line of sight.

It's Rick & Morty for me as my mainstay. I did find Andor a lot better than I expected.

I've gotta say, I really didn't like She-Hulk. It lost me immediately with the downplaying of what Bruce Banner has been through right in the first episode. I'm looking forward to Quantum Mania though.

Recommend me a book 2022 in Movies & TV & Books Stardock.net Forums

This thread is dedicated to recommending a book you read in the past year. One book (per comment anyway). Here is my 2022 recommendation: Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I really enjoyed his other books such as The Martian and actually liked this one better. Would make a terrific movie as well.

AI desktop wallpaper in Artificial Intelligence WinCustomize Forums

I am ashamed (not real ashamed but a bit) to say that I have been making my own AI based wallpaper to use and in most cases prefer it to other wallpaper I find. Here are some examples: <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/0/0/1/16e4ba51-6cc5-4dc8-b960-6af44262fe

Welcome to AI talk in Artificial Intelligence WinCustomize Forums

I believe 2022 will be the year that we will look back on as the year General AI started to show up. We have seen a lot of attention paid to tech like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and other art generation AIs but we they really don't hold a candle to the other areas AI are starting to become powerful. I recently used an AI character called AskMeAnything to help get up to speed quickly with Neolithic and Bronze Age techniques for making clothing and what devices could be used. &n

There is no way they're going to do this. The Windows UI is so much better than MacOS for actually getting work done.

[quote who="tomasz_exe" reply="3" id="3868042"] I am a bit late to the conversation but would the improvements made to have the game up and running on the Xbox also be ported back on PC? I know we've had the opt-in beta for 1.5 on steam, which already improves the game quite a lot and makes it run well on the Steam Deck. But all other PC platforms don't have the option to get that beta branch. [/quote] Yes. We are in the process of making both technical fixe

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="4" id="3867055"] One more technical question: Do you know whether that new Iron Engine does benefit from larger L3 cache, or more precisely from AMD V-cache? Did you test new Sins the performance with AMD 5800X3D CPU? [/quote] I have no idea. I doubt it. I personally run a 3990X with an AMD 5700 and it runs fine on that.

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="1" id="3867039"] Just a question, why "rewriting" the Iron engine, when you had that Nitrous (Ashes) engine? I always thought that one would be used for Sins II and that you developed it not just for Ashes, but your other future games as well - including Sins. Not that i care or anything, just being curious. Regarding UI visuals - i dont think you need to reinvent to wheel there, Rebellion´s UI was just fine. You can maybe somewhat

Introduction Many of you have been with us for a long, long time. We have been doing “early access” since 1993 when we put out the pre-pre-alpha of Galactic Civilizations for OS/2. Back then, it was a radical idea to put something out for player feedback that was unfinished. These days, games are frequently put out in &ld
