  1. "Guys maybe yes or maybe not he's racist, but now here is a list of other attributes about our Commander-in-Chief that make him incompetent as a leader."
  2. I just binged the show, and man I really did not expect this show to go where it did in that season 2 finale. I enjoyed almost every character, except
  3. Cool so they stay in your library. That's fair. Now what they should do is automatically add the games if you have a subscription. It's such a chore to go to the store to redeem them.
  4. What happens if there's a lapse in your subscription? When you re-start it do you get all of your previous PSPlus games back in your library, or do you start over?
  5. Voting 3rd party seems to be gaining traction, but I doubt it actually turns out to be significantly different than past results.
  6. A single-character focused title, in other than the Batman-related universe, is what I want. We should have a good Superman game by now. A Flash game that's faster-paced Prototype/Infamous, with some bullet and rewind time, is easily doable. Hell throw in some open-world shortcuts like GTA, maybe even a few Sonic-style platforming elements sprinkled about. And, well, a Wonder Woman game has practically already been made under a different name. Martian Manhunter's abilities are perfectly suited for (breaking) video games: No-clip activate! A game that covers all types of genres is possible with Manhunter, but a more tactical stealth game would be awesome. He's got invisibility so you can throw in stealth, along with walking through walls. You can turn enemies into allies/partners, distantly take complete control of a NPC, or shape-shift yourself into anyone. The most challenging character to nail the aspect of feeling like you are that hero would be Green Lantern - because imagination is key - but there are ways to do it.
  7. How do Trump supporters reconcile the should-be disillusion that they want to MAGA by cheering Trump as if he was a dictator - they want him to single handedly wield power into their wishes - in contrast to the basic structure this country was founded upon: All persons are equal and to enforce this belief there exists the separation of powers?
  8. Everyone needs to read that Polygon interview. If they actually implemented all of those mechanics into the game then this will have far more depth than Rogue Squadron and Starfighter Assault. Just having the ability to split or dedicate resources among Shields, Lasers, and Engines is beyond them, but then to add mechanics to these categories is a great evolution of the Tie Figher/X-Wing model. What makes TF/XW appear in depth is the granularity of control you have over where you spend your ship's resources. I doubt we'll ever see that fine-grained granularity, but then again we probably don't need to. Adding new ways to interact with the "environment", like the following quote suggests, is better than changing some number values.
  9. I don't have any information on this current theatrical release, I'll edit my post for clarification. I'm speculating that it has to be the same as what they released for home viewers, because the 4k Digital+BR releases are new masters of the films and not just a simple upscale of the previous BR release.

  10. Not necessarily, as the latest motherboards from both Intel and AMD will support at least one more future CPU generation. So you could go super-budget on the CPU and GPU now, and upgrade those things later. Although waiting is a good idea to let the market settle down. Right now supply is limited, and demand is high. Things are either priced more than they should be or running out of stock.
  11. The 4k Blu Ray and Digital versions are the same, with the lone difference being Dolby Vision as an option for digital while the discs are HDR10. But these 4k (digital+BR) versions are a new master of the films from an actual 4k scan of the negatives; it's not just an upscale of the previous Blu-ray release.
  12. This has to be the D+/4k Blu-ray versions, so it'll probably include the Lucas edits. We won't get it soon, as the recent 4k releases of the movies contain all of the Lucas edits, but I really hope Disney releases the theatrical versions of the OT remastered in 4k. They supposedly have the footage and film to do so, and now have all the rights. I wonder if they are holding out for respect to George, or maybe they're just timing their re-releases to maximize profits. Because, damn, I re-buy Star Wars all the time. I bought the DVD box set when it first came out. Then I bought the DVD's again when they added a disc that contained the Laserdisc version of the film. Then I bought the Blu-ray box set. Recently I bought the 4k digital versions of the OT to get that sweet Dolby Vision. And when they come out with the theatrical, 4k remastered version I will buy the shit out of that.
  13. Not yet, but I'm sure I will be seeing it soon because I've seen a lot of "Not all cops are bad" messages, "Antifa has started a new communist country in Seattle" rants, videos of black people defending cops and saying the BLM movement is exploitative, "Statues are OUR history and we need to remember it lest we repeat it" posts, and general disgust at the riots. As far as this video is concerned, this is a prime example of pure tribalism - she wants to hold people of these parties of 150 years apart accountable to a name (Democrat/Republican), while, this is the important part, the policies the names represent have been documented to change. The two-party system just exacerbates the tribalism. There are too many separate and unrelated ideas, values, and policies to be represented with just two parties, and this nuance does not get reflected properly in the news while it is even worse reflected in social media; sound bites just don't allow for its expression. Media in general wants to catch the eye, and the best way to do that is with conflict: Hit people with ideas that touch their core selves, that trigger a defense mechanism, and then pit that against the counter idea. Personally I notice that emotion flare up all the time, and it takes real effort to tell myself to examine the logic and ignore the emotion.
  14. What BOTW did was take elements from other games and put them together in an intuitive manner.
  15. If you don't overclock 550W is more than enough. Only the halo, top tier video cards at stock would start to be worry-some as they can reach 300W. The second-rung and slower cards don't even come close. There's no way I'm going to afford a 3090 anyway so I'm not really worried about my system. But if you plan to do any overclocking at all the bigger PSU the better.
  16. Well you need use your American Express card as, like, an SLI bridge, moneybags. Just make sure the magnetic strip is touching both of them, and induction will take care of the rest. Oh, and if they're too far apart you can daisy chain several credit cards!
  17. They do recommend an SSD, but not require one, right. How does it perform on a regular HDD?
  18. Large-scale environmental changes on-the-fly. Think of the lake in God of War changing levels, or an even older example the Water Temple(s) in Zelda games. When this change happens, we are basically watching it like a cutscene or the actual change is going on in the background. With faster storage speeds, these changes could be happening as we are interacting with the environment. And as far as God of War is concerned, the choice to have long, narrow tunnels to hide loading screens can be eliminated or put in as an artistic choice, because while the game is great there are simply way too many times you run in a fucking circle waiting for the portal to open, or an elevator ride that is 10 times too long (or 10 times too slow). We might see more scale-switching, from macro movement to micro movement and vice-versa. You can be a humanoid figure, and then jump into a giant mech, and seamlessly transition to different types of field of view, in-game travel speed, height, level of detail, and you could be in completely different parts of the map, maybe even in different parts of time. Think of the time jumps in Titanfall 2. These are relegated to basically a single room, while next gen the entire world around you can change on the fly from past to present, present to future.
  19. If the issue comes back, I would suggest contacting Starry's customer support (technical division) and troubleshooting with them. It's sort of a long shot, but perhaps they have some recommended settings that need to be set in Windows and/or router for their service.
  20. Ok then. Well your phone and Macbook operate fine, so if we focus on your desktop there is an option to do a network reset in Windows 10. -Right-click on the network icon in the taskbar notification area -Select "Open Network & Internet Settings" -Click on "Network Reset" That should return everything network-related as if you just reformatted, and then it will automatically set up the configuration from there.
  21. Cat 5 cable should work fine up to 100 meters while Cat 6 is about 50m. Were close to those limits? Edit: Also why kind of ISP do you have (cable, fiber) and what is the make/model of the modem?
