If you think this is just "oops leather jacket man got his dick wet with a Fang Fang" you are legitimately retarded.
The spook agencies sit on this kind of kompromat until they need to pull the trigger. Huang has been dragging his feet on the export controls and trying to keep the China market open through Singapore backdoors because he's a merchant first and doesn't give a fuck about the State Department's pivot. The deep state wants total decoupling or at least direct DoD/intel oversight over the compute stack. You can't nationalize Nvidia outright without crashing the market, so you burn the founder-CEO with an MSS honeypot op you probably watched happen in real time on NSA servers, tank the stock $400B so BlackRock and friends can buy the dip, and install a compliant spook-approved managerial suite via Wachtell.
Look at what happened to TikTok, look at how they forced Intel into a quasi-state ward. Nvidia is the single most critical bottleneck for the surveillance/drone state. They were never going to let an independent founder keep running it like his personal fiefdom once AI hit the national security threshold.
He's cooked. Enjoy your new CIA-vetted CEO.
@Focus_entmt Can't lie, this was one of my most anticipated packs after having read all Mortifactors short stories and novels. The breast plate and right shoulder sharing the same bones fastened with leather straps is begging for something a little more creative
You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).
You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission.
@AMDGaming Now that 6000 series cards can run FSR 4.1, can you get CDPR to recognize these GPUs as capable of using FSR 4.1 instead of resorting automatically to FSR 2?
Currently have to use a mod to make it work
Once again proving "Get woke, go broke" is not a thing. Itโs copium for bourgeois souls who count on economics to save them. Our enemies are playing a very different game and are perfectly happy to set money on fire if it means destroying the things you love.
@TalkativeTri My friends are excited about WoW Forever, meanwhile I'm looking forward to a convention ๐
Really shouldn't be holding out hope for yet another class but I can't help but hope for Shadow to be revealed ๐ค๐ป
@Landeur If you're into action, Onimusha Way of the Sword is incredible. Not only for the gameplay, the storytelling through cutscenes and characters are amazing. Recommend playing in the jap VO too, they convey a deeper level of emotion with their delivery than the dub imo
@TalkativeTri I was surprised they showed Duelist at Gamescom. Part of me hopes Jonathan and the team are preparing another class to reveal at ExileCon
Your regular reminder that there is no natural upper limit to multiculturalism or open borders; you will simply wake up one day to find yourself living amidst Sinaloan cartels and your liberal neighbours will cheerily remark upon the flavourful authenticity of the quesadillas.
@Focus_entmt Very excited for the Mortifactors โ ๏ธ cosmetics. The helmet will be crucial. Will you go the astartes 2 teaser direction with paint for a skull or an actual skull adorning the face plate? ๐
