absolutely PC...my fingers not made for these console-controllers nowadays. It's sometimes like a workout for your fingers, managing to keep up with the picture on your TV....

Keep making PC games...not only cats love mice...my hand does 2! :blink:

For the past year I have been dedicated to my PC. But recently I started playing on my PS2 again. Well, with a PS1 game: Final Fantasy VII :rolleyes:

But since I'm a big fan of GTA I have to get San Andreas (not until next week, cause german dealers have difficulties importing the UK Version). With this I'm pretty much getting into my PS2 again. I'm also planning on buying a Gamecube.

I've always been a multi platform person and I think I always will be.

Only owned a console once, that was a Sega Saturn that I sold after 2 weeks as I couldn't be bothered to spend (extortionate amounts of) money on games. I find consoles a complete rip off as most the games I find to be too simple or just about instant action (which makes me bored after about 10 mins, and for ?40/game) and I hate controllers on anything but sports sims. The argument some of my friends use (need a DVD player) is also rubbish IMO as after seeing DVDs on both PS2 and XBox I can safely say they are very poor compared to even a moderatly good DVD player. The only games I like on console are also available on PC (although I am looking forward to GTA:SA), normally with much better graphics and sound as well as my preferred control method.

Like many have said, I don't like the way that you use controls for fps in consoles, so I don't use them. Period.

Secondly, instead of buying one console, one pc, another console, etc....why not just buy one good PC that will do any job satisfactorily (including work, business apps, music, movies, games)?

I own both, always have, but untill recently (like the last couple of months) I have never had the money to spend on a PC to upgrade it to the current gaming requirements. Then I realised; the 2-300 I had spent on each new console (the day I bought it aone [with games]) I could have spent on a PC. So I did. My PC is now at high enough spec to play anything, although it has a way to go, (see here) such as watercooling, a new sound system and more RAM, the list is endless...

Now I would definatly count myself as a PC Gamer, with high hopes...

Hell yes it is, we are planning a LAN party this weekend! That should be the daddy; it will be small, but so much fun. All in one room, 48 hours of gaming and as much snack food/music/movies as we can squeeze in and all as loud as we can muster!

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
