GDC Rescheduled to a Three Day "GDC Summer" Set for August 4-6

[Raevenlord]

2020's Game Developers Conference (GDC), originally set to be live from March 16th through March 20th, was one of the first tech shows to be cancelled in wake of the Sars-Cov-2 outbreak. Now, the organization has announced that the event has been rescheduled a full 5 months later for August 2020. The event has been set for a three-day "GDC Summer" still taking place in Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA, starting August 4th and ending August 6th. Passes for the exhibition are already available, with early takers being offered heavy discounts over the on-floor passes.

GDC has been the stage for a number of high-profile gaming and services announcements, with the 2019 edition seeing announcements for Google's Stadia, EPIC Games detailing new features for its Unreal engine, and AMD taking the lid of their (then) upcoming 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs. Intel was first expected to detail their Xe graphics architecture at GDC 2020. It remains to be seen whether the blue giant will still be doing so in wake of this delay, or if the company will find an in-house (albeit likely online) alternative to get word of mouth flowing on their upcoming high performance graphics architecture.

That's optimistic, I'll give em that.

Smart however it is not. Inb4 next move.

To be fair, that's about all we can do right now, aside from following health officials guidelines, is to remain optimistic (but not careless/reckless)

Has it already been proven it will not burn out in the summer? I heard someone say it dies when it hits 77 degree sunlight. So we just need a warm summer to burn it out. Not sure if that is true or just a guess, never bothered to google it. I haven't been following it, just listening to few of my nurse friends. If that is true that it does die at 77 degrees though I am convinced Elon Musk is right and this is all a computer simulation, double 7's, seriously? The lucky number. lol

Add a 1 or higher to the front of that 77 and it might be right.

That sounds more likely. I have no idea. So now we are going from 23 trillion in debt to 27 trillion in debt, newest figures say government will go 4 trillion in debt bailing us out over next few months.

Sometimes I wonder when the debt ceiling can't be raised anymore, like who decides the rate of inflation? What's to stop all this from collapsing and someone just saying oh hey, you have printed way too much money... I mean if they can add 4 trillion so easily, why not just make it 5.5 trillion and forgive all student debt to boost house/long term buying from struggling students, etc. It's no different than this stimulus.
