@wsjudd how do you find the Embody for gaming? I've almost bought one twice now in the last 10 years, first time opted for a new AM4 build instead and the second time for a 4080 Super (first 80 class card!). I have a Herman Miller Sayl and it's great for work, but for gaming it gets uncomfortable after an hour or so.
Would be curious on your take with the Embody. I'm a little older than you but looking at DF Alex and many colleagues I work with, protecting your body against long hours of sitting is easily as crucial as hitting 120fps
@MattGPT i know (or think )your point is referring to more recently released games, but almost all games from 2018 and dating backwards from there would likely run at maxed out settings. to @Tobility question on the number of games, quick look at the SteamDB gives a total of about 18k games that would run maxed out.
Probably an argument for someone more into retro gaming, but my take would be if you want a PC catalogue at full settings from 2018 backwards, or say 2022 with high settings, in a console format, it's an excellent but very expensive product for you.
As a product for current and future PC gaming, it's very limited.
@Obsidian76 I’m hopeful we reach a day where we get AMD reviews on Linux as its user base grows. Odd here there’s no ray tracing and they’re going straight to path tracing. I thought ray tracing was becoming standard
How are AMD CPU’s still behind Intel, given AMD have been making much better gaming CPU’s for years now? I don’t understand that. Are most steam players using custom built PC’s, and choosing Intel? Or is it something else. There seems to be no reason not to go with an AMD one for the past several years now
