It's harder than you think to get burn in. Playing games on it "normally" isn't a problem. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I played through the 1994 Jurassic Park rail shooter arcade game on the rokid glssses while riding Amtrak and it was a great experience, would recommend to fellow rokid owners if you take the train (any rail shooter).

It’s a myth started by @Spork3245 I believe that was @Spawn_of_Apathydue to a bad experience with his B7. I stated multiple times in @Nokra’s thread that with modern OLEDs burn in mitigation has greatly improved. As long as you’re in game mode there shouldn’t be an issue for many years. However, if you don’t think burn in exists at all or isn’t possible, it’s because you have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s just less of a worry and not as common as it once was; you have to actively try for it with an LG OLED that’s a 9 series or newer for it to be an issue that would occur outside of warranty (like running in vivid mode 24/7 and constantly turning off the screen saver any time it comes on). Further, the G2 and G3 have the most aggressive heatsinks/coolers of any OLEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom631 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Im mostly playing the microsoft rewards game. trying to get as many points as possible in a day. im on a 40 day streak and have earned 22,000 points already. if I keep this up, I can probably get the next-gen xbox for free. however, bc of this - it led me to chivalry 2 which is hilarious and fun. although I absolutely suck at it, I keep going back. also - it got me to try out ghost recon wildlands which seems pretty cool.

stepee Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I’m playing Mario Kart arcade GP DX and I wish they would release it on switch for $30 or something. It’s lame that even if you win you don’t get to go to the next stage in the cup, you have to pay again and start over and then select the second stage.

osxmatt Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Got Max Payne 3 during the Steam sale. I played it when it came out but felt like I needed a somewhat mindless game until I pick my next 40-60 hour RPG. I forgot that it’s pretty much a John Wick simulator (largely because I don’t think John Wick existed when it came out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear, even the jump to a 4000 series GPU from a 3000 series is pretty big; can't wait to see the jump from 3000 to 5000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the 4090 from a 3080 (and a 3080 wasn’t far off from a 3090 in that gen) was the craziest upgrade I’ve ever had in the smallest amount of time. But it’s also just the biggest rip off where a 4090 should be a 4080 and priced as such and then going down from there and then have a full chip actual 4090 that is like 10-20% faster like usual. Everything got priced up a tier and the only one that seems like a decent value is the 4090 since it does offer a generation leap over the 3090ti in the same price bracket. I’m hoping the bad press and some diminishing sales gets Nvidia to calm the fuck down and just grab extra money from their corporate customers instead of gamers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaseknox Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I started playing Itorah, it’s a nice looking 2D side scrolling action platform game. It’s kind of typical for the genre, but still fun for what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Started playing Dredge. For those that don't know it's story driven fishing game set within a Lovecraftian backdrop. Very cool art style and even though I am very early on and nothing major has happened, it does give a creepy vibe. I only wish there were voice acting. The game is just begging for some vocal work.

Phaseknox Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I started playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (which I played and finished back when it originally came out) because I was in the mood for a third person action RPG which we unfortunately don’t get a lot of anymore. I always felt that this was an underappreciated and underrated game, and while it’s showing its age a bit now it still has solid gameplay/combat and is fun.

TheLeon Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Making my way through Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart pretty slowly, one mission or so a day and then I move on to something else. Tried out Exoprimal, probably won’t stick with that but it seems alright. On my Switch, I’m getting a lot use out of the GBA collection, bouncing between Metroid Fusion and Fire Emblem, two games I vaguely remember playing back in the day but never finished.

Keyser_Soze Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I took a bit of a break from Armored Core 2 but returned to it today. Kind of forgot that the arena is such a grind but I got the spider legs finally and can stand toe to toe with some ACs now. There was an AC called "Higher Power" and it just reminded me of @Mr.Vic20's favorite song So that's how I felt when fighting against it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
