  1. Both the leaving, and the decision for the NPCs to harp on it continually for the first 5 hours of the game is just not very interesting story telling to me. [My guess is that this is very heavy handed foreshadowing for what happens latter in the game.]
  2. Nvidia DLSS 3.7 update arrives with more upscaling options WWW.PCGAMESN.COM Nvidia Deep Learning Super Sampling 3.7.0 is now available and appears to improve upscaled image quality in games, particularly in motion.
  3. I'm convinced that KB/M is the only way to play this. So much of the combat is focused on targetting specific components on the robots, that I wonder how anyone does this effectively with a controller? I'm only about 5-8 hours into the game, and have only done a few missions in the "Forbidden West". I opened it up, only to go back and do most of the Side Quests in Mainscrape. I'm looking forward to the story really getting going, because the early part of the game is, IMHO, way too focused on how Aloy didn't say goodbye to people between the two games.
  4. There are so many things they did right in this game. It's probably the best looking game I've played. It's not a particularly long game, so you should be able to do it.
  5. Niagara Region pre-emptively declares state of emergency ahead of solar eclipse WWW.THEGLOBEANDMAIL.COM Officials estimate the event could bring up to a million people to the tourism hub, and are anticipating traffic jams, possible fuel shortages and telecommunication outages
  6. The fact that some mocks have 4 QBs taken in the first four picks is totally mind blowing for me. This QB class would have to be as deep as '83 for that to make any sense.
  7. Clearly a controversial take: "not all studio management is comprised of idiots".
  8. There are good executives and bad executives. Some have done a phenomenal job at running their studios, while others... haven't.
  9. I've played it a bunch more, and while I think the "rasterization" portion of the game might be the best out there. The lack of ray traced lighting/reflections is holding it back from looking as good as something like Alan Wake 2. The lighting doesn't look "bad", but there is something that always looks a little "not right" to me.
  10. There is a pretty strong argument that AI can simplify the process of asset generation. From what I've read, a significant challenge in modern game design is the amount of assets needed -- if you get AI to do much of the "grunt work", and have it finished/tweaked by humans, I would guess there are significant savings that might be realized.
  11. Setting an executable to run as an administrator changes how the operating system treats that executable. How you launch the executable is largely irrelevant.
  12. Friday Night -- Homemade deep-fried beer-battered cod Saturday Night -- Lamb dinner at the Inlaws Sunday Brunch -- Ham, bacon and asparagus with an Italian bread I had never had before Sunday Dinner - Homemade smash burgers Eating is good.
  13. Wii was launched in a world before mobile gaming was a thing. Mobile gaming is probably double the size of console gaming ATM.
  14. He's been the head of their Xbox division for 10 years. That's long enough to determine if he has the vision to turn the studio into a winner. Being successful in business is what he is talking about. I, in general, I have zero interest in most of what Nintendo puts out. If you're interested in more "innovative stuff", I find that happens outside of the console space -- frequently by Indies or on platforms like Roblox.
  15. His problem is that everything MS has done since the X360 gen has largely failed. He needs to look in the mirror to see what their problem is.
  16. If you don't hook up a fan to an RGB header or controller, it won't light up.
  17. PCIe 4.0 SSSs need a heatsink, there really is no practical difference whether you use the one on the motherboard, or the one provided by Samsung. They're both more than good enough. That said, I always buy mine without, as I have a MB that has heatsinks, and its cheaper to buy an SSD without one installed. For practical purposes, it doesn't matter which slot you install the SSD in. If there was something that actually benefitted from a PCIe 5.0 drive in the forseeable future (which I doubt), you could always move your drive to a different slot later. Cases are mostly about how easy they are to build in, and an aesthetic choice. Cheaper ones sometimes come with far fewer fans than I would be comfortable with (i.e. you should probably buy more fans if you intend on using them).
  18. I was pretty sure you didn’t have a horse and buggy or a dot matrix printer. I got rid of my landline last year, when both my boys got cell phones. I technically have “cable TV”, but that’s because it was $25 cheaper a month to get internet and TV, than internet alone.
  19. Horse and Buggies Cable Television Print Newspapers and Magazines Video Games on Optical Media Telephones on a Landline VCRs Busy Signals Dot Matrix Printers What do all of these things have in common?
  20. @best3444 Alex talks about the SteamDeck version, and doesn't recommend it. He speculates that part of the problem may be that this version only includes the PS5 assets, and not the PS4 ones.
  21. It has beautiful visuals, great music and an awesome atmosphere. The story is deliberately very "surreal". It's meant to be vague and confusing.
  22. My wife agreed to get a pizza oven for me for last year's birthday. It should be here in the next week or so. I'm so excited about being able to cook "real" pizza at home.
  23. Recap of worlds: Roll Better ROLLBETTER.GG Republic Arcs are the meta, 3 of the top four were Republic ARCs (and both in the final) New world champion is Ilias Ikonimidis, the youngest World Champion ever The new Battle of Endor scenario pack was used extensively in Rebel/Empire lists. Lots of great pilots. I really hope AMG does a points update, it is time for an update to the meta. In particular, Jag/Wolffe/Oddball can't be 12 points anymore. On a sidenote -- I won my first league game this season (Week 4) -- playing a top UK player (eliminated in the top 8 out of 113 of the most prestigious UK tournament). Lots of great players on my team (French Champion, Canadian Champion, Spanish Champion), so I am given the least favourable matchup. It was really emotionally tough last season, because I was playing great players who had an advantageous matchup in terms of faction/scenario. I got creamed a whole lot. However, I learned a ton, and am really improving. Now, to the point that I can actually beat some good players with a little luck.
  24. F1 - The Official Home of Formula 1® Racing WWW.FORMULA1.COM Enter the world of Formula 1. Your go-to source for the latest F1 news, video highlights, GP results, live timing, in-depth analysis and expert commentary This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened in F1, and it has gone unpenalized in the past. I agree with Joylon, in that I think the penalty was heavily influenced by where Russel's car ended up.
