How better to spend your time in quarantine than listening to us talk about the next generation of consoles? We dive into the next generation and talk about what Microsoft and Sony might bring to the table. But first, we update you all on how we've been coping with the pandemic and all the stuff we've been playing and watching.
It's also cool to be able to teleport to places, granted you could set up teleport points using TEdit. This update is packed, I'm really looking forward to playing it again, although sad that this is supposed to be "the last" update. I wonder what's in the future for the game and devs, hopefully Terraria 2.
I heard the new consoles will feature ray tracing. I also saw something about the PS5 will probably have limited stock during it's first year.
But..... #PCMasterRace!
I'll have to listen to this soon. I realized the other day that I have no idea what the current consoles are, nor what's coming next lol
@AdamPFarnsworth Gigaflops!

I had a feeling I knew what that youtube link was going to be before I clicked it.
Glad to know I was right! :D
Actually, I meant teraflops as you can see here: https://www.polygon.com/2020/3/31/21187430/ps5-xbox-series-x-specs-comparison-next-gen Here's a brief article with an included video about what's a teraflop: https://www.polygon.com/2016/6/14/11932910/what-is-a-teraflop-explainer I think it's a different calculation than what I'm used to seeing regarding GPUs and CPUs where they're measured in megahertz or gigahertz. In a way, I kind of feel like "teraflops" is a bit of a "buzz word" to make the new consoles sound super amazing (and they may very well be). I haven't dived into their details as my interest in them isn't great, but I'm glad they're finally getting SSDs, Since I got one last summer, I realized just how awesome they are, if for nothing else other than greatly speeding up the load time from power off to desktop (at least in my Windows 10 experience). So, at least just being where the OS resides, it can give a dramatic performance increase. I think this is perhaps the single most important hardware upgrade someone could make to make their PC feel faster or notably improved
LOL! Yeah, I think we all knew what that YouTube link was going to be ;)
I've listened to about half the podcast, and I'm glad that it sounds like everyone's doing as well as can be expected!
Also, as far as what I'm watching, some good trash on Netflix is The Circle (so far I've watched the original and Brazil, and now I'm watching France).
It's the perfect show right now, as we really are living in The Circle.
The killer feature im hoping will go well is streaming. My company (engineering/architectural) has moved to 90% virtual machines using Workspots (Microsoft Azure). I am drawing complex 3D models, and aside from a few hiccups when rolling out the new computers, my virtual experience is better than when I worked on my local computer in my office. I hope Microsoft is able to utilize what they've learned in Workspot, and really nail the streaming environment. I've not bought a system since the Wii U, but if I could get a high-powered game streaming service, I might look at getting back into hard-core gaming.
I think Microsoft will have some really interesting with Game Pass. Or at least I hope it will.
I think you accidentally a word
Some really interesting...?
;)
I ACCIDRNTLY NO
I will probably get the Xbox Series X first. I have the OG Xbox One and it is a little sluggish playing Fallen Order. I want to upgrade to a One X, but I figure it is best to wait for the Series X.

Yeah gotta love those gfycat random names. I think it's always two adjectives and an animal.
That’s way more fun than some random hexadecimal
