    https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/6/23586882/samsung-odyssey-oled-g8-display-price-preorder-specs Samsung's 1440p 34" OLED is $1499. I want the LG 45" but I'd like to see it on display in Best Buy first... but yeah, pretty sure I'd love the thing.

    Latest meteorite found on Mars. They find them all the time, that one is about a foot across, the below one from back in 2014 is 7 feet across. The outlines are higher resolution images taken by another instrument overlaid onto the photo. Via this thread...

    Inkbound (Monster Train devs)

    How do you beat it, does a dive end at some point? edit: ah ok, just finished a run w/ rogue dude.

    Inkbound (Monster Train devs)

    And by cruising I meant 'I haven't faced a boss yet and now my ass kicked' Was kicked for AFK then wasn't able to start another dive once I reconnected. Others were in one, so if that happens to you may need to restart the client.

    Inkbound (Monster Train devs)

    I'm cruising through my first few fights w/ the threaded magic guy, pretty neat concepts, not sure if the game overall is for me but will have to put it through it's paces co-op w/ some friends for sure.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Look forward to seeing how they pull it off. I'm not really a fan of (or even familiar with) many of these properties, but I also was more of an X-Men fan than an Avengers fan and the MCU sold me. Make good movies, first and foremost. The connective tissue is a bonus. At this rate any big...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I wonder if they're making some pivots w/ software already too. Like so many I'll just never buy into a solution like this, especially when they've already gone a non-backward compatible path once already with their approach.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Dead Space

    Game looks incredible.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Thoughts on the PPI after some time using it? Seen a couple reviews now that recommend the 42/48" higher resolution screens rather than the 45" UWs. I've got the 48 but wouldn't use that for a primary. I'll probably wait until I can see one at Best Buy before considering pulling the trigger...

    It's EA, so if you have Game Pass you should have a 10 hour trial of Dead Space if you do want to try it unless they've truncated it or made any exceptions with it.

    Playstation 5

    Yeah I recently wrapped up Miles, I never beat games and those are two that I did. So good. Miles is short, but I still put about 12 hours into it, just under 20 into the first.

    They removed the 'shipping 1/5' blurb from the 45" LG, but still says preorder :emoji_eyes:

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    I find that stuff sometimes doesn't load for me (edge, no extensions - but just installed the rewards one). The current This or That for example just takes me to a search for Xbox Games and... no quiz, nothing. There goes the current streak.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Yeah, I grabbed the liquid cooled MSI. Miles Morales in 4k at 170fps is incredible, lol.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Yeah, I replaced a 4k 32" Samsung M7 with one of these, I wanted a nice secondary monitor that had the same resolution as my G9 and an insiders campaign popped up for it at the right time. Really want to replace the G9 w/ that new 45" LG OLED though.

    4 player co-op games

    Bumping this now that we've wrapped our annual LAN with some new / old games we played. We fluctuated between 4 and 8 players over the past 4-5 days. Age of Empires IV - this and the next one were the go-to all LAN it seemed. All else fails we'd fire it up and play skirmishes against 2x...

    Anyone played this and Zero-K? Same RTS framework or something right?

    Nor does Vegas :( after our Frys went full retard (swapped out anything anyone cared about that would come to Frys for and in it's place became a de facto as-seen-on-TV store) and then folded. Still kinda bitter.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Some of the stuff is wild to me, I apparently have a 'Genuine Original' rocket launcher from TF2 that over 100 people have open buy orders up for $11 or less? lol. If I could sell the hundreds of Steam cards I have for 4-7 cents each with just a couple clicks I probably would. Edit: I started...

    I prefer Cyberpunk between the two. Red Dead is amazing but just doesn't click with me, just not into westerns.

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Looks nice but first thought was no texturing where you hold it, looks like there are some good alternatives though in the recommended products, probably pick something up. Will post impressions if I do.

    What are you playing?

    I love it, but gaming ADD and other things took me away from my initial playthrough and haven't been back yet. Some good content creators played the shit out of it though, lots of playthroughs on youtube to click through. Game is amazing and I need to get back to it. Friends and I started...

    Printer suggestions

    Yeah, I'll never own another inkjet. Even with 4 kids it feels like we print 5 pages a month and then suddenly need to print 100 things over a random two week period - which would usually require buying new ink. Toner for life.

    I never beat games but beat this one. Really enjoyed it. Love the hand drawn suit. Slightly washed out because HDR.
