Great video, a lot of the benchmark stuff I was unaware of because I don't pay THAT much attention to the wider youtube review community, but I Did notice that waterblock review when it went up on LTT. Go and watch it, it's honestly embarrassing how unprepared and silly it was. As a comedy sketch it's fine, but as a review of a prototype it's really really embarrassingly under prepared. It brings to mind something like an Asmondgold hardware review... "I don't know, let's just try this".
To see they auctioned off a prototype device after that "review" is kinda disgusting (sorry for the hard word, but it's how I feel).
I wonder how much of this has to do with the fact that most "Big" news sites are paywalled nowadays. Hard to read a WaPo article if you, well, can't read it. We're pretty much forced to other 3rd party social media sites to get news beyond headlines.
$70 on pc? For a Bethesda game day 1? Yeah, that's a hard 'wait for sale' for me.
