PCG Article Discussion for March 2026

The 'sub-$500 entry-level PC segment will disappear by 2028' predicts top analyst firm

Well, that's cheery.

I find it hard to believe that the 2026 decline will only be 10.4 percent.

The term 'Microslop' has overrun the Microsoft Copilot Discord server, and attempts to moderate it have gone badly

Microsloppy.

I think there is a widespread mental health problem that causes you to do things like joining Discord servers for things you don't like.

This Linux tool was the last thing I needed to wave goodbye to Windows

Not to brag but my range is high AND dynamic.

Getting HDR to work in Linux helps the writer to avoid Microslop altogether.

I don't understand the point of joining any big, active Discord server as it'll just be a whole bunch of people screaming into the void, let alone a Discord server for something I don't even like. But it seems there is a significant amount of people that just really like hating on things

RedOctane's 'next evolution in rhythm gaming' sure looks a lot like 2007's Rock Band

Stage Tour is expected to be out late in 2026.

I like the idea of bringing rhytm games back to the mainstream, but I don't see it being as big as Rock Band or Guitar Hero were back in the day. Clone Hero exists and people who are still fans of these kinds of games are already all over that game. It's free, works with almost endless amounts of different devices including MIDI controllers and electric drums, the music can be obtained for free, it just seems superior across the board.

Stage Tour will need to sell the game and hardware bundles for cheap. You can buy a guitar controller on Amazon between $80-$150, quality scales with price it seems, and get Clone Hero for free. Stage Tour will need to be around the same price or cheaper to appeal to more people.
