    Arc Raiders

    This game sounds cool but I know how these PvEvP extraction shooter stories always seem to end. They start out OK but Boredom always turns into gear gapped enhanced cruelty and death before the Next Big Thing™ moves the It crowd along.

    RFK Jr is almost there. Steak and Shake did go back to all tallow fries, IIRC.

    Here's what ChatGPT said: @Daidraco thanks for writing that out.

    Europa Universalis V

    Having to relearn to play the same game over and over again is may be one of my biggest turn offs for modern gaming outside of Woke ideology and Games As A Service forever monetization. Continuously adding complexity and new systems isn't the same thing as making a game better or more fun...

    The Outer Worlds

    The alternate method is typically a key or other quest item when the skill level is 12, at least on the planets I have been to so far.

    The Outer Worlds

    Anything that is skill check 12 is intended to be solved another way, and the skill check is just there to let you brute force it. I jumped what seems like ahead to Praeter where lots of mobs are skull at level 17 and skill checks seem to still be level 8.

    The Outer Worlds

    I was super jealous of the extra points and after long thought, I just triggered it. I don't know if I would have triggered it at 4 because leveling Lockpicking up to 8 was pretty critical but I missed out on so many checks not having Speech/Hack/Science at at least 5, I just put points in...

    Health Problems

    I feel for folks having to start or switch an Rx; As a Type 1 diabetic I take a ton of meds now in my mid 50s. I remember when I started my 40s I was taking two things, now 15 years later its like 12? [Edit: I started this post to talk about how all of the complications listed at during every...

    Answering some of my own questions; Thanks for the quick responses, guys: https://wccftech.com/dram-prices-expected-to-soar-as-memory-makers-priortize-server-ddr5-over-pc-memory/ Edit: So after reading a large number of things, I think this is more RAM bust/boom pricing and GPU speculative...

    Desktop Computers

    What the MF ass is happening? When I built my PC last year, 64 RGB Corsair was $199sh? Now its 400-500 bucks? Lots of kits over 500 dollars. Did South Korea shut down? Insanity,

    The Outer Worlds

    I wanted the 20 Engineering Perk and the 20 Leadership perk but your method gets you a whole bunch of stuff in science/hack/medicine/speech whatever your other two skills are besides Guns. A mod where you get 5 skill points a level would be AMAZING or let you take Easily Distracted as a...

    The Outer Worlds

    I have seen Treasure Hunter referenced in quite a few places, from Steam forums/Guides to YouTube comments. That may just be people self-reinforcing, or it could be accurate; it's going to be some time until we get numbers to back up any of these claims. There is a ton of conflicting info right...

    The Outer Worlds

    You know that's a Satirical propaganda clip from an In-universe show? Its making fun of Woke crap. I am nearing the middle(end?) of the 2nd planet, which I didn't/don't like because its a Fallout-level of destruction war-torn devastated area(Fallout post-apocalypse people should love it)...

    Xbox Megathread

    My 42" LG C4 is the best monitor I have ever had. I can imagine that its easier on the Xbox, though. My solution for that was I also had an Xbox Series X and a PS5 on my desk. Now I have a giant L, with my main PC/Work laptop and XSX with the 42 C4 on one side, and my Mac mini/PS5/Switch 2 on...

    Xbox Megathread

    That's because you aren't using an OLED TV as a PC monitor. Can't argue about the sound but I haven't tried/cared in 15 years for a surround sound at my desk. I just don't care enough about the sound above a certain level. I had Altec Lansing 5.1 systems for years and just quit after the...
