G2 stun world No. 1 MOUZ on BLAST Rivals Hong Kong opening day

The last Tier 1 CS2 event before the Major opened with a jolt: G2 took down world No. 1 MOUZ, and Team Spirit advanced even after eating a 13-0 map. FURIA and Vitality moved on as well, so the playoff bracket is stacked before the weekend even starts.

A 13-0 map loss usually ends a team's week. Spirit shrugging it off says plenty about where their floor is right now.

Logitech gives its staff launch day off to play GTA 6

Logitech has declared a companywide Logi Game Day around the GTA 6 launch, giving staff the day off to actually play it, and Logitech G is marking launch day with a livestream on Nov 19. It is a small story, but it is a sponsor practicing what this whole community preaches: launch day is a holiday, whether your boss admits it or not.

More companies should just write this into policy instead of pretending nobody calls in sick on a big launch… See More

If your job gave you one launch day a year, no questions asked: does GTA 6 take it this year, or are you saving yours for something else?

Not every business can afford to, or even can at all.
And nor do I believe a business should just have to accept that.
It is a people problem, not something the business should be told they have to accommodate or expect.

Reported, not confirmed: AFMF 3 may be hiding in the current Radeon driver

A Reddit user reports switching on an unannounced Fluid Motion Frames 3 inside Adrenalin 26.10.2 with a single registry value, no driver files modified. The hidden panel reportedly shows Standard and Enhanced modes and is said to work on RX 7000 and RX 9000 cards. AMD has not announced AFMF 3, there are no published benchmarks, and AMD's own documentation still lists AFMF 2.1, so treat all of this as unverified for now. Coverage… See More

of the report itself flags real stability risk in poking at undocumented features.

Hidden features in shipping drivers are catnip, but a registry tweak with no tested rollback is a good way to spend your evening reinstalling drivers.

Be honest: are you the type to flip the hidden switch on day one, or do you wait for the official release and the benchmarks?

AMD posts a record quarter, and gaming is paying for it

AMD just reported the biggest quarter in its history: $13.4 billion in revenue, up 97 percent year over year, with data center chips bringing in $8.5 billion of it. Gaming went the other way, down 40 percent to $773 million, as AI buyers soak up the memory supply and push up prices on PCs, consoles, and Radeon cards. AMD is also planning for the PC market to shrink by a double-digit percentage in 2027.

The company that powers a lot of our rigs… See More

now makes most of its money somewhere else, and the roadmap is going to follow the money.

If Radeon keeps playing second fiddle to AI accelerators, does your next GPU stay AMD or are you looking at the other team for the first time?

The only "other team" that is even an option there is Intel.
Nvidia are a way bigger contributor to the problem than AMD are, though neither are innocent.
