    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Anyway, that combat looks like it could be good with a little more iteration to smooth animation transitions. The fact that the person playing is clearly using a controller AND sucks at it is funny.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    So, the arc of internet gaming was wanting to play with a bunch of other people, realizing 99.87% of them suck, and then not wanting to play with other people ever again? IDK, the Souls games are all kinda boring to me. Demon's Souls remake was the only one I liked, and most people consider...

    If you mean CP2077 and BG3, I still haven't finished either one. :P Loot and inventory management is a pain in the ass in both, fucking terrible in BG3.

    And yet, all 3 games had multiple comedic characters.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Does it though? All 3 games had totally different interface styles, combat, story, and themes. Only a few characters, mainly Morrigan and Varric, stayed consistent throughout the games. DA does not have a consistent brand, which is why it kinda sucks as a franchise.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    No, I'm not giving them any benefit of any doubt. This will probably suck, because you shouldn't take 10-year gaps in franchises like this. It will also probably suck because everything sucks now. ...I'll Eeyore myself out.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Yeah, they should have let the franchise die after going this long between games. Just come up with something new. But nobody does that anymore.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    lol it's amazing how many people have the exact same reactions to everything but think they can't possibly be the ones engaged in groupthink. The trailer seems obviously inspired by the Dungeons and Dragons movie's marketing material, and by that I mean directly ripped off. Taken in that...

    Saw my first Rivian the other day. Some local contracting company that builds/renovates beach mcmansions had their kitschy minimalist logos freshly stenciled on an olive green one.

    PS: If you're calibrating a monitor by hand this is the website you want to use: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ (The gamma test only works if you're viewing the image at the correct DPI. So, if you're at 150% DPI you have to zoom your monitor out to 67% scaling.)

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Almost every gamer is used to using very blue monitors for some reason (I blame Sony and Toshiba CRTs which were blue as fuck.) I only had to turn the green down by 3% ("Gain" is the setting you want to use) and red down by 1% to make this match the color temp on my calibrated OLED panel. I...

    I didn't have to calibrate shit, I just put it on 'Game 1' and adjusted the hue and saturation very slightly. It was actually the IPS monitor I had to fuck with the least to get it to look good.

    It's not that small of an upgrade. I replaced my 27GL850 with this for my work monitor. Much easier on the eyes, this thing has like no IPS glow, much better black/grey uniformity, better contrast at lower brightness, etc. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/g2724d You just need to...
