It's on xbox game pass, and I have xbox game pass for playing on my PC - I don't have an xbox, but I rented and played Sea of Thieves on PC without an issue
But Outer Wilds is apparently xbox only, even though it's on the PC-accessible xbox game pass
Yeah it's not on the microsoft store unfortunately.
Despite having game pass, I bought it because it is that good.

Demo available?
Epic currently has a sale that made it 10 bucks off, so I got it for 14 bucks.

Alright hold on a fkin second I feel like this video preview frame and description really buried the lede here! They decapitate this fish and process its body and then throw the decapitated head back on the conveyer and try again and it keeps biting the can, and with enough power to make it explode. Without its body.

i don't know why i'm so resistant to the idea of downloading the Epic client and buying games on it, but i've managed to avoid it so far, despite it having a couple exclusives i'm interested in
the way everybody is talking about Outer Wilds might get me to break down though

A bottle of Dasani you left in your car for a couple days but you're really thirsty now
For ages I've had the PC parts picker builds that uhh I think @bloodyroarxx and maybe @21stCentury or @override367 or @Aioua made for me (sorry guys I don't remember who aa) saved in a window but I accidentally closed it and now I actually need it lol
Do whichever ones of you made those for me still have em somewhere?
Can you not reopen it from the recently closed list? Or have you already filled that list with more porn?
I like how tower PCs of the last forever years are now a cool and amazing design because apple sells one again.
Apple's tower PCs are amazing and they deserve credit for how cool they are. This new one has a latch on top that you lift and the entire outer case comes off like a sleeve, so you can service the inside. In the early 2000s they had a design that was even better, where the side folded open on a hinge and the motherboard was mounted to the door, so it was now sitting flat on the table presented to you unobstructed to work on it. It was so so nice to maintain.
The old cheese grater G5 towers were ok, much more standard. But they were pretty.
I mean that's neat
But it's not really any better than modern magnetized/hinged sides that you press and they open.
The case looks nice, but their design game is a few years behind the curve

would you mind posting some examples of cases you think are better? I will gladly admit defeat on this front if I see something that blows me away.

I'm playing it right now and it's worth it for $15
Also if you don't download the Epic game client even though you want games that are on there then you're either a minimalist in which case why are you even using a computing device right now or you're a fascist in which case /r/gaming is thataway

There must be youtube videos of the Mac Pro / G4 /G5 cases of old - watch some... the level of precision and tight design in there is something I feel you would appreciate.

I was curious as to what the bill of materials would come to if you tried to spec out the lowest end Mac Pro with loose parts, and in good faith, attempting to find parts that matched its features and weren't just "RAM".
My cost of loose parts came to about $3461, allowing for $300 to the custom FPGA video encoder and $300 for that rad case. The motherboard is impossible to match because it has fuckin nuts specs. It needs an FCLGA2066 socket, 8 PCI-e 16x slots, and 12 DDR4 ECC RAM slots, tons of thunderbolt ports, and like, no regular IO. I found essentially nothing similar.
Showing work:
I'll point out here that the chosen CPU has less than half(!) the cache that Apple is advertising for the base Mac Pro. I tried poking around Intel Ark to see if I could figure out what CPU they're using and couldn't find any Xeon W that matches; I'm curious if it's a custom chip or what. At any rate, L2 cache isn't cheap; even if it were a standard production chip, doubling the cache would probably add at least a few hundred to the price.
I believe that they are adding all caches together
The highest specced is 2x W-2175 which has 14 L2 and 19.25 L3 per chip
24.5 MB is only achievable by having 2x W-2123 which have 4 L2 and 8.25 L3 per chip for 24.5 combined total. This also fits with the posted clock speeds the best as that is the only chip to boost to 4 GHz and run at 3.5 GHz (see https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/xeon_w)
I guess that's not impossible, but if Apple is genuinely just straight-up lying about the CPU configuration options on their Tech Specs page then that is... pretty uniquely terrible. If that's the game they're playing they pretty much deserve to be skewered over these specs.

It is worth noting that Apple and Intel have on multiple occasionas worked out deals on the side for Apple to get custom shit.
These are the kinds of things you can do when you are worth more than most countries.
Not saying this is good or bad... but going to CDW to figure out specs on machines coming out in November probably won't be 100% accurate.

Yeah it's not on the microsoft store unfortunately.

It's hella janky, though, and the game is janky enough on release.
Don’t fuck with wolf eels/wolf fish.
My desktop sometimes can't even do that

Hades for sale for $10 was my breaking point.
its not a catfish!
That case is nice and cool looking but I wouldn't say it's revolutionary or anything

I skim like just the topmost levels of video game culture and its never failed me yet
what if i have a petty vendetta against Epic?
It was [chat]. [chat] gor real into it. I played it, and was not really crazy impressed.
InWin 303 for ease of use (303C exists for RGB peoples)
BeQuiet Dark Base Pro for silent running
LianLi PC-011 for the curb appeal
