Sure, but how far do you sit from it?

Depends. Varies between a metre or two.

I bet that if you have anti-aliasing enabled you won't be able to tell the difference between 4k and 8k AND you will have more GPU power left to render better pixels.

I never enable antialiasing because it wastes resource unnecessarily. And yes, I absolutely would. AA does not magically make pixels smaller. All of the games I play will probably run fine at maximum settings in 8K on a RTX 3090.

I saw people looking at video on a 80" 4k and 8k TV -from up close- and they couldn't tell the difference.

Maybe they have worse eyesight than me or they just have lower standards.

This whole 8k thing is mostly just a scam to sell more screens. It's just like HD audio. People see higher numbers and think it must be better.

Nah, it's nothing like HD audio. 8K is noticeably higher resolution.

Anyway, do what you want. I'm just warning you.

I will and that will be going 8K. I'm not sure why you are so worried about what other people are doing. How about you butt out and you do you and I'll do me, k? Thanks.

What download cap and why would I be streaming games when I can play locally?

Also Phil Spencer is short-sighted. Perhaps 8K is a long way off for consoles and their underpowered hardware, but it's not that far off for gaming PCs. I already play almost everything at 4K now. Once I upgrade to an RTX 3090, 8K should be possible.

It really isn't anything to worry about. The Italian health authority knew that months ago and the CDC recently admitted it too. Only about 6% of Americans who died with COVID-19 actually died directly from it. The other 94% had multiple existing medical conditions and pretty much anything would have pushed them over the edge.

It's like blaming the flu for killing a person with AIDS despite the fact that they probably wouldn't have died if they didn't have AIDS.

Writers need to work 40 hours a week at their jobs just like everyone else then. None of this crap where they rest on their laurels collecting money on old work.

I don't get to go to work and demand perpetual payment for past work that I already got paid for. Neither should authors, musicians or filmmakers.

I don't watch Fox and I don't even know what OANN is. You are absolutely biased if you claim CNN is centrist because they are undeniably far left.

And by the way, all of that violence you deny happening was confirmed by everyone in the presidential debate, including by Biden and the moderator.

You are supposed to win by having a better message, not by suppressing other messages you disagree with.

I agree but unfortunately that's how radicalised liberals operate. This is why most mainstream media (which is controlled by the far left) omit so much information. "Fiery but peaceful" and the lack of coverage on most rioting by antifa/BLM come to mind.
