Globe & Mail games writer reports on how frustrating it is to go laptop shopping at traditional brick and mortar electronics chains, citing incompetent salespeople as his primary irritation. From the story:
"....The first store I walked into was filled with broadly beaming salespeople looking for their next commission. One of these hawkers came up to me as I began looking at a spec card for a pricey Sony VAIO.
"This is a great notebook, sir," was his greeting to me.
"Looks nice," I replied. "I see here it has four gigs of RAM but is only running a 32-bit version of Windows Vista. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you need the 64-bit version of Vista to take advantage of more than three gigs, don't you? I'm guessing that fourth gig isn't free. Does it serve any purpose?"
He managed an uncertain "hmmm" as a response, then turned 180 degrees to face another customer and said, "That is a great notebook, sir," as though we hadn't just been talking.
My question had been legitimate. I know a little more about computers than an average consumer, but I'm no software or hardware engineer. It seemed, however, that the salesman figured someone who asked questions more demanding than simply "yes, but does it come in red?" was too much trouble..."

Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.
Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.
But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?
Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.
Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...
I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey
Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.
Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.
Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol
On Amazon, you can't get an RTX 4090 for less than this one from Gigabyte, which now offers great value after an eye-catching April deal.
