What can one do to become one of the first lucky ones to grab the latest GPU from NVIDIA. Several people, for example, set up tents outside the entrance of the Micro Center store in Tustin, California, four days before the launch of the GeForce RTX 5090. Someone took photos of the improvised camp and shared them on Reddit.Reddit user Temporary-Director46A Reddit user with the nickname hellodavidz admitted they occupied one of the tents, waiting for the sales to begin. According to the post, they united with friends to buy the graphics cards for personal use, not to resell them at a higher price.Hello everyone, Im the guy that you guys are talking about in the second tent. And yes, we are buying it for our own use, no trades and no sells. We just dont want to pay for that extra $ for a gaming card and yes we do have some times on our hands because we run a business. Good luck to everyone who are trying to get one, wrote one of campers.The atmosphere outside the store is said to be friendly, and everyone is behaving politely. By January 27, there were about 10 tents in front of Micro Center, with roughly 24 people waiting for the sales to begin. At night, the temperature in the city dropped to 7C (44F), so I hope the people in the tents didnt forget to bring warm clothes.You can find the original thread here. Sales of the new GPU will begin on January 30. In case you missed the news, NVIDIA finally presented the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070, its new flagship GPUs, earlier this month.

With an increasing numbers of Xbox console-exclusive games starting to appear on Sony's PlayStation 5, some players are openly wondering why they should purchase one of Microsoft's consoles. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has fueled some of that talk by pushing for more Xbox titles on other consoles and PC. In a new interview, Spencer also acknowledges that the hardware differences between Xbox Series X and PS5 have drastically diminished.Spencer recently appeared on The Destin Channel, and he shared his belief that the the current console generation is too similar. That's why he wants to see the next iteration of Xbox offer innovations that will make it an easier choice for players. "I want us to innovate and make the hardware the differentiator," explained Spencer. "We've got into this space where the differentiation on the hardware has gone down and it's really been locked games that you've tried to make the identity of the hardware. I love when I see handhelds, when I see kind of unique things that hardware manufacturers do. And I want our hardware to compete... so let's have our platform continue to innovate with services and the hardware work that we're doing... I think that's our identity going forward and it's working for us now."Continue Reading at GameSpot

According to the latest rumors, the next God of War game may finally feature an Egyptian mythology setting. The original God of War games saw Kratos take on the Greek pantheon, while the 2018 God of War game and 2022's God of War Ragnarok were all about Norse mythology. With Ragnarok bringing an end to the Norse mythology setting, many fans have been wondering what's next for the God of War franchise.

I just ran into the same issue as mentioned here:https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/709510-enum-bit-flags/Has this been implemented? I can't find it in the documentation or in the API.

Disneys totally-not-a-princess protagonist Moana (Aulii Cravalho) (who is also canonically a princess) returns in Moana 2, now available for digital rental or purchase. Shes joined by demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), Heihei the chicken (Alan Tudyk), Pua the pig, and the ferocious, tiny coconut warriors known as the Kakamora. In Moana, the Kakamora are just one of the threats Maui and Moana encounter on their journey together; Moana 2 sees them taking on a new and more prominent role.A deleted scene from Moana 2, featured as part of the movies home release, changes the nature of the encounter between Moanas new crew and the pirate coconuts. In this scene, instead of the whole crew getting hit by Kakamora darts, only Moana takes the hit. The rest of them Maui fanboy Moni (Huallai Chung), quirky inventor Loto (Rose Matafeo), and elderly farmer Kele (David Fane) are captured and squeezed together in rope netting suspended above the ship. (Pua gets his own cage.) Moana insists she can still help her crew, but given that shes completely limp, her face pressed against the deck and her words slurred, that isnt looking super-likely.The scene is funny, but co-director Jason Hand says ultimately, the filmmakers wanted to spend less time on the Kakamora barge, and streamline the action a little. In the final film, Moanas whole crew gets darted and paralyzed and Pua gets a dart right in the butt.Moana 2 hit theaters in November 2024. Originally, it was supposed to be a Disney Plus series, but much like Disneys sequel Atlantis: Milos Return, it was expanded and repackaged into a full-length movie (albeit with much more polish). Moana takes to the seas again in Moana 2, this time with a whole crew, a bigger, badder villain, and a post-credits hint about an even bigger conflict to come.Moana2is now available for purchase or rental at Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and other digital platforms, and will be available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on March 18. The Disney Plus release date has not yet been announced.

Victoria Wilmotte, AD Frances Designer of the Year, recently presented the CONCAV Collection at a new showroom at 38 rue Madame, in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris. This modern backdrop is the perfect canvas to celebrate Wilmottes work, full of rich texture and color that juxtapose neatly with the stark surroundings. Graphic, bold, and sculptural, this collection, which includes a desk, stool, mirror, and tables, extends through and around the sphere in space, holding cavities and extrusions in place with ease. Each piece is created in VWFACTORY, Wilmottes technical, highly generative studio space, where any finish or form can be made through experience and refinement.Pops of acid green and solid expanses of charcoal interrupt the extending white planes of the Parisian gallery, delineating space in a way that is highly titrated down to its maximum visual impact. These elements work beautifully together, creating an immersive world of Wilmottes exacting creation.A hearty mix of industrial riveting and textural powder coating combined with the acid green transparency of the top add a bit of wit to the CONCAV Console II. The lighting offers a light-box quality, illuminating the top with regularity. This allows different values to be shown, steadily increasing towards the brightness of the wall, as the eye pulls away from the center of the table. Rounded nodules mimic riveted steel, adding to the cheeky material use of the bright green, futuristic tabletop.The CONCAV Console Granit employs similar form language to the rest of the CONCAV Collection, nestling comfortably into any entryway or corridor. The satin shine of the powder coat adds a quiet luster to the angles of the table, jutting out from the wall in a regular yet organic way. A flat, rocky crag, held up by the strength of industry.The CONCAV Round Table embodies similar design cues, yet with a round top. The restraint used in this texture speaks to the elegance of Wilmottes work, refinement and tact built over years helping guide her to the final product. The legs splay wide, almost converging at the middle of the table. The strength of the angle paired with the mechanically wrought finish play harmoniously, lending an approachable industrial feeling to any space.Victoria Wilmotte is a designer pushing the boundaries of form and function. Just as comfortable embodying the title of sculptor, she weighs volumes and empty space equally to produce visionary works. Removing material or adding finish until the desired effect is achieved, Wilmotte has received multiple awards for her work, and has had the opportunity to collaborate with brands such as Poliform, IKEA, and Land Rover.To learn more about the CONCAV collection, please visit victoriawilmotte.fr.Photography by Jean-Pierre Vaillancourt.
