Although I'm rooting for AMD (underdog), but I prefer to have better RT performance than better traditional rasterization performance

Your experience seems similar to other people here, so if you don't mind, I'll try using it to offer this question to you and also to others that believe they have similar experiences and reached to similar conclusions as yours.

When looking at objective statistical data showing consistently overwhelming disparity (unfavorable to men) between the genders when it comes to committing crime (on all types of crime: burglary, robbery, murder, rape, assault, etc.. )

What's your thought process when presented with those statistics that leads you to the conclusions you have?

Do you only look at your personal experience? or you also investigate the actual objective reality through empirical evidence from the broader society in which you live?

thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm having a theory loosely based on what you both said, it goes like this:

it seems the physical strength differences of the two genders made it possible over generations for females to develop a more non-confrontational, docile and friendly traits that were big factors in their gene survival, as the ones that didn't have those traits weren't as lucky to pass their genes when facing-off in a conflict with their physically stronger male counterpart.

These survival traits back then seem to have transitioned to today's traits manifesting in kindness, compassion, and peace-keeping attributes.

This means both genders might harbor / have similar ill-intent / goodwill feelings, but one gender is naturally selected to filter-out the ill-intent at perhaps both conscious and subconscious level.

This theory seems to support that, as it stands, females seem to be objectively better in those traits due to natural-selection.

when it comes to kindness, compassion, peace-keeping? I.e. attributes that contribute positively to society by reducing violence, crime, wars.

Whereas men seem to exhibit less so of those qualities that sometimes contribute to more wars, violence, crime, etc..

This is not to say women are better overall, or all women are saints, or generalizing that men are toxic, etc..

This is just a general observation that women qualities in those areas seem superior to men.

I could be wrong here, and would love to hear a different take (pls be genuine and civil) as chances are the diversity of the two helps balance the human species, and men might also be equally strong on the same qualities but in a deeper way that doesn't necessarily manifest as well on the surface.

P.S. i'm not a feminist, I just normally seek wisdom by challenging the beliefs I hold through listening to different opinions.

Series S seems going to hold back all next-gen consoles and PC

But average gamers won't notice that anyway.

The only games that have the potential to showcase next gen graphics are PS5 exclusives

looks way better on XSX

let's hope they release an RT patch for PC

Not even close at any moment in time during the lifespan of both franchises, Gran Turismo is far superior

I would've picked it up if they released it on steam for max $20

btw, the question is for first party franchises (regardless of exclusivity).

i.e. which company owns stronger franchises (not stronger exclusives) in the industry right now?

stronger = more popular / successful / sought after

Perhaps (I could be wrong) it's best to even out the competition, now it's one sided towards Sony.
