Can confirm that over 2 years with an LG C9 I haven't gotten any burn-in. However, my TV sees about 10-20 hours of usage on an average week.

Considering most seem to say that you need a static image to stay in place for 2500-3000 hours, I'm probably good for at least another 8-10 years. I've also read from a select few who have played FF14 for like 3000+ hours on OLED TVs with no burn-in issues, but obviously, take that with a grain of salt.

One thing to note though is that even if you can avoid burning in the panel, they will get dimmer over time. Burn-in is just the pixels dimming from overuse in a specific area.

I feel like any Switch 2 stuff will depend on what Nvidia announces in the fall. If they've got a new mobile SoC or big Nvidia Shield refresh announced then yeah, it's probably coming in late 2023 or somewhere in 2024.

For me, what I would want to see is more events to actually do after the Cafe menus are finished. Along with removing the online requirement.

Most of the disappointment to me is how barebones the game feels due to how linear and quick the Cafe is with nothing to do after. There needs to be a better system in place for rewarding open-ended player progression, not just an ultra-linear campaign followed by spamming the most efficient map hundreds of times.

If Polyphony basically stole a few of Diablo 3's progression systems (Nephalem rift system, optional seasonal progression) they could adapt the classic GT formula to that and have a banger "live service" style single-player campaign. It would also be fun if each season of the seasonal mode had a different theme and cars to collect so each time you play that mode it's different.

However, a proper offline single-player mode like a traditional GT game would be what I want to be added first.

Just listening to the recent Bombcast and wanted to shout out that there is one keyboard maker on the market that actually does create keyboards with the analog movement of a controller...

Wooting!

My friend uses one of their keyboards and cannot say enough positive things about it! Only caveat is you need to find the weird rare game that takes controller inputs at the same time as KB/M for it to fully work properly. FF14 and GTA V are a couple of games of the top of my head I tested and both seemed to work really well. If a game doesn't support input swapping that way though it recognizes input perfectly as a normal keyboard too.

Worth noting as well that since they're a fairly small company you need to plan ahead of time to grab one of their keyboards. They only do drops a few times a year.

I have simple requests.

I actually just watched a Verge video about this a couple days ago.

Yeah, apparently catalytic converter theft has spiked hardcore in the last couple of years.

If only I could bring my Palladium stores from Mass Effect 2 into real-life :/

@ben_h: Oh man, it would be great if they get the requirements toned down. My Surface Pro 4 works perfectly fine so it would be a major bummer if I couldn't upgrade to 11. They seem to have updated the tablet experience on Win 11 nicely too.

@jagerxbomb: I think the issue with that is once we take the PS4/XOne band-aid off and transition to current-gen you're probably going to require DirectStorage and at least an NVME drive as fast as the Xbox Series S (which seems to be about 2.4GB/s read 950MB/s write, but hard to say until we get proper cross-platform current-gen games). Level design and asset streaming are seemingly going to be built with faster storage requirements in mind if you look at games like Ratchet and Clank. Otherwise, you might get stutters like Star Citizen does on a hard drive.

So if you care about any type of graphically demanding genres you may be forced to upgrade.

I think the dumbest anecdote to all of this is seeing people on the leaked Win 11 build run the System Health Checker with a "can't run Windows 11" result lol

@ben_h: I think the one thing that might make this less of a big deal is that most CPUs from AMD/Intel in the last few years seem to have a TPM 2.0 chip installed.

You just need to search in your BIOS for PTT for Intel and fTPM for AMD. Odds are if you enable some kind of TPM BIOS setting you should be good.

But yeah, kind of crappy how this one requirement is looking to possibly scrap at least a third (if not half) of the Windows 10 userbase.
