    My Pixel Fold arrived today. Will take a lot for me to go back to Samsung's Fold form factor.

    Xbox Megathread

    Nah, it only makes sense if Sony massively fumbles the next gen or something and demolishes their own market share in the space. Otherwise it'd be untenable to give up the revenue generated from Sony's platform. COD breaks a lot of the rules around that kind of thing, it will be on Sony...

    Secret Invasion

    Yeah, pretty meh episode, not a fan of old man Fury. This feels like a trajectory to retire the character after redeeming him of any actions he takes over the course of this series. We need a directory of (whatever) though, which I suspect will be Val. Looking at the original trailer again...

    Just upgraded mine this afternoon. Who wants some overpower? (would have preferred to roll something else actually, but ran out of gold)

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yeah pretty big XP buff to nightmare dungeons, a tier 40 gave me just over a paragon's worth of XP at 78.

    Weather

    That's a crazy 'feels like' temp, genuinely sweltering. I can handle record daytime highs though, it's really hot though when the lows don't go past the mid-80s, and it's still like 100 degrees at 1am that the heat bothers me. A/C doesn't really get a break, power bill approaches $600 for the...

    Cities Skylines II

    Yeah, as flawed as the last Sim City was, I really wish we'd have had 2-3 more iterations of it by now to work through those problems.

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)

    I just watched the first 3 movies over the last week for the first time. Pretty incredible experience and worth watching if you have even a passing interest.

    Vegas ties the record, 290 days without hitting 100 degrees. Should cross that mark in the next few days, 110+ in the forecast for next Monday.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yeah, thread for this in Diablo started 5 hours ago. Have had issues logging into wow and see issues reported w/ other games as well and not just on PC. Seems their infrastructure in general has been having issues all evening.

    That's Phil Spencer under oath being asked that by the judge during the hearing on the FTC's requested injunction that would effectively kill the Activision deal. Could be a pretty pivotal moment in this acquisition if the injunction is denied and they move to close the merger in the coming...

    Shadow's Gambit is probably the best demo I've played. I played this a little and it seems like it could be good. A few others I downloaded because I liked something about them but haven't gotten into them: Voodolls on Steam Landnama on Steam

    Everything's so glacial with the MCU. 'Lets use Skrulls' 'ok, we can fit it into a movie or series in 5 years' Hopefully this next stuff coming up is good, pretty sure POTUS is going to get killed or something leading to Thunderbolt Ross being elected or replacing him in some form, which will...

    Yeah, kinda hope they got that out of their system this episode. That ending, oof.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yeah there's a lot wrong with the shadows, I didn't notice it until I zoomed in to take a screenshot in a really nice looking area. Then adjusted my character because I liked the shadow but wanted to change his facing... and the shadow spun around with him, lol. The ray tracing update I presume...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yeah I usually dont even read the objective and murder everything, so I tend to fail that one too because I don't prioritize the one glowy guy, which I think you need to do for enough of them to spawn.

    Rather than read the next 3 pages I'll reply as if it's not answered, but t4 is more of the same unless you push it early. I did so with my druid but it was a lot of fun doing it before but after the first round of ancestral upgrades things just started falling over just as easily. That...

    So the experimental client has Update 8 live on it now, which is their move to Unreal 5. Loving the lumen stuff. Their example of how surfaces aren't just kinda lit up like before and the value of lighting: Some shots I took as I ran around building / tinkering w/ old saves to see the...

    Saw it this evening. Exceeded relatively low expectations and enjoyed some of the set pieces and cameos.

    Getting bored. Yesterday was the first time I logged in and wasn't really interested in jumping into any of the events. At 74 my druid walks through t4 helltide and opens the 2-3 boxes in 20-25 minutes. Pushing nightmare tiers isn't very fun solo and not very rewarding, so meh. Leveling via...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Yeah, console availability of U+ is a big deal IMO. That's $17.99 in addition to your Game Pass sub, but being able to fire up their library via sub on a console is really nice. I've used it on Luna a few times as well, friends were playing The Division and I didn't feel like installing it, so...

    I really like the atmosphere, all the debris always blowing around, etc.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I'm enjoying the game to this point enough that I'd play season 1 even if it's a complete fresh start, but as an ADD gamer if my friends don't I probably won't stick with it. Haven't touched rogue yet for just that reason. Subsequent seasons? Probably not.

    Movie is absolutely incredible, most scenes are a work of art and classes on color theory could be built around this thing.

    Looks like now it's been nerfed down to a deal for the 2TB drives. Booo. Tried to get in a couple times the 4TB restocked w/ no luck.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Learned las night: - Yes, you can open 3 Mysteries chests in a helltide - The 72 boss in a helltide is probably not worth it. Looks like he only drops currency, maybe some mats and just a couple yellow for each of us. Not sure how much currency because the helltide had just ended when he died...

    Gaspar Stillbain can be found near a dungeon called the Whispering Pines, located in Scosglen. The Whispering Pines can be found in the Eastern corner of the Highland Wilds. Once there, simply head North-West and you'll come across an area called The Scar. On arrival, stick to the Northern wall...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Hate that the Mysteries boxes can despawn in Helltides, presumably after a number of uses. Also just ran into a level 72 thing, didn't hit super hard but would have taken my the hour to kill and had more important things to do. Once I found another Mysteries box and spent my shards was going...

    Rubber banding pretty badly, and had entire areas of the helltide not available, just couldn't enter them. Now that it's over, can't teleport anywhere, just sit at a loading screen waiting for it to time out, and hope that nearby mobs don't notice you. Oh well, was a good night. Buddy finally...

    Got that and a brown horse as well that have dropped for me. Saw someone w/ a moose antler barding or something, and someone else w/ a water or wisp-form horse. Didn't bother to check if those were shop mounts or not.

    Wish I could say the same as a Druid, we're already so big that many of our tents we put on make it look like we love our gear so much we never took any off and just keep adding layers, but this unique helm I got will probably get me to transmog it (it's a mask w/ hair basically) Otherwise...
