    Marathon (Bungie)

    Right, I get that. My Name is Byf is a lore guy after all and went on at some length about some of the backstory for this game that I had no idea existed; that any such complex story existed, that they were going to try to imbue it with any kind of complicated/deep/intense lore is...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Listening to My Name is Byf talk about the lore of the game in that livestream, I'm not more likely to play it because PVPVE Extraction shooters aren't my thing but there is a ton more to Marathon than I had suspected. THAT's the Bungie I know and love, so maybe there is some non-gay hope for...

    Sinners (2025)

    Do we really need catharsis for smaller scale things that happened 100ish years ago? Hitler was one of the largest historical figures in WW2, which was one of the largest events in human history; did anyone really think of "Inglorious Bastards" as needed cartharsis? It's really just revenge...

    550 106th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004 to be precise, in between downtown Seattle and Redmond, but you aren't wrong. I imagine it's probably worse ideologically than SoCal with PNW vibe going on. Fake Edit: 550 106th Ave NE · 550 106th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I had this issue for a while as well. I thought it was related to getting my new PC set up but I just kept restarting as I installed things and eventually GamePass Ultimate synced up.

    Marathon (Bungie)

    What the fuck does this have to do with where Bungie is? Trying to read this frothy BS, Is this a drunk post? The rest of your posts seem reasonably put together. You had the one seemingly negative reaction to Bald Brah's post. It has nothing to do with where Bungie is, moron; it had...

    Really? An odd reaction for one agreeing with the sentiment but if you say so.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    This was kind of a let down for me back in the day after Morrowind; it just didn't hit the same way. I wouldn't buy it with all the Bethesda BS going on but I will download it from GamePass, so well done MS spending billions there. Edit: After 15 min I am already annoyed enough that Patrick...

    Myth: The Fallen Lords was the some of the best world building and gameplay. Peak Bungie was soooo good. Homeworld was literally jawdropping at the time; I called my grandparents (who lived right next door at the time) over to look at it when I was in the beta. The box reminded me that the...

    Will always remind of the segment from "Heavy Metal" called "B-17" where the Orb invades a B-17 on the way back from a particularly hairy bombing run.

    I was just thinking of this "brain in a tank" quote the other day when we were talking about the Matrix, how Sid's game had come up with years before The Matrix put it out there. What a great game. I need to download this from GOG and play it.

    Last Epoch

    It might not be a better game but I enjoy playing it a lot more than POE2. The engine/combat sync and responsiveness feels way better 1.2 than it did at launch. Going to start out doing a hammer/javalin Pally again without doing too much research and see where that takes me. Way easier to...

    Sinners (2025)

    So I have been mixed on Ryan Coogler as a director; sometimes he seems to have an agenda, other times he seems to be more down the line. Regardless of where he stands ideologically or you might stand on him, here he is talking about various film aspect ratios and the decision and factors that...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    My 7900XTX is almost always quiet-ish. If this PowerColor 9070 XT isn't as quiet, then into my kids PC it will go. I dropped a fair amount on the RX Max fans because they were supposed to be 10 Db more quiet than the LX/QX/RX fans.

    A-Salright, anywhere right off the Beltway isn't a Sundown location for whites. B- isn't bad, I used to live near here 30ish years ago; It was nice and new suburbs then, perhaps it has changed but not get out town whitey. It was mostly latino, though, even back in the day. C- Magnolia Gardens...
