I play mostly PC games now (currently UT2004, Mafia, various DOS games via D-Fend, and NFS: Most Wanted), but there are many console games from my childhood (Final Fantasy III [sNES], Bionic Commando [NES], and TMNT4 [sNES] are just some examples) that I still play with my equally aging friends of mine.

So I voted Both because both PC games and console games bring something different to the table that satisfies me.

I like PC gaming more, for FPS' there's nothing like a mouse and keyboard. I've owned a 64, PSone and PS2 but all sold them within a couple of months of owning them. I just love it how on the PC you can customize it so much, mods, addon packs, hi res addons (like that HL2 mod) etc... etc...

Plus, it's more fun building your own system anyway and much more rewarding for all those hard earned dollars!

:devil: PC :devil:

1. Unlike consoles, the PC platform and PC games won't go obsolete in the foreseeable future.

2. A PC can do everything a console can, plus a lot more.

3. PC games have the ability to look better than their console versions.

4. Many PC games can be modded.

5. Mouse and keyboard is the superior control mechanism in many cases...

6. ...and you CAN also use a gamepad with your PC. I'm using an Xbox gamepad with a USB-adapter. Works great.

7. Building and modding a PC can be a fun hobby.

I prefer consoles, because they are faster than computers. With computers you have to worry about viruses, and processor speeds, and overheating, overclocking, etc.. with a console, plug it in, and play.

However, PC do have there advantage, you can play more games on PCs than any other console.

    • 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.
