    The Astronomy Thread

    Sad day. Following a review of engineering assessments that found damage to the Arecibo Observatory cannot be stabilized without risk to construction workers and staff at the facility, the U.S. National Science Foundation will begin plans to decommission the 305-meter telescope, which for 57...

    Booster coming into harbor in rough seas, kind of looks off center / tilted, but could be the perspective / waves.

    The New Mutants (2019)

    I didn't hate it, went in with really low expectations I think it exceeded them.

    Everyday Astronaut is the best at doing that real time. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6uKrU_WqJ1R2HMTY3LIx5Q Not live for this event, but he's really good at pretty much everything space related. Love all his educational videos. A little more obnoxious is the NasaSpaceFlight guys, but...

    Phasmophobia (PC, VR Crossplay)

    Friends who are around level 150 have started playing without flashlights (just candles and 1-2 UV) relying more on light sources available in the environment - all to increase the challenge a bit. Meanwhile I mapped an attack (the woosh noises are attacks, had no idea until I saw the file...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It'll upscale from 1080p as I understand it, and probably not look too great.

    The Mandalorian

    It was a pretty awesome 30 minutes, but agree with the points above.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    This episode felt really disjointed. Away mission was solved so quickly, like it was cut for time as was the goodbye, some really heavy handed fan service (Voyager, 'no 5 year missions'). Interested in the different ships in the fleet, and what's going on with Georgiou, but instead next week we...

    The Astronomy Thread

    A lot of good science from Arecibo over the years, I wonder how real the possibility is that it will never re-open. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/11/arecibo-observatory-in-puerto-rico-at-risk-of-collapsing/

    From Ubisoft Connect I was able to click Request Code, and it sent me a code for Luna. I was already in the beta though. But yeah, seems like you're at the whim of the Early Access admittance tempo. Wonder if the code just bumps you to the front of the line.

    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    Ubisoft+ subscribers can now request Luna (Amazon's cloud streaming platform) codes and access the Ubisoft channel. Hopefully that lasts beyond the beta and they do something similar on other platforms, but that's probably wishful thinking.

    Playstation 5

    This is especially true now that EA Play will be included with Game Pass. No NHL or UFC on PC for example, tho hopefully that's in the cards after they renewed those deals in the last week.

    Xbox Megathread

    Yeah, interesting. Wonder if Play Anywhere will remain a thing or be phased out. From a catalog perspective they're not interchangeable on the store, only a dozen Smart Delivery and there's more than 80 Play Anywhere (multiple skus for many titles like Yakuza, Gears and Forza inflate those...

    I know how this feels. I bought 4 games today, a month from now I probably wont have even tried to play one of them and another I bet Ill play for 20 minutes over the same time period.

    Alrighty, now to wait for all these to ship so I can get a 3000 series CPU on the cheap.

    I get paralysis by analysis in that game and end up quitting early, lol. I find as I get older that so many of these games have all the options I would have wanted when I was younger, but now I don't have the attention span or patience to really enjoy them.

    Watch Dogs: Legion

    Yeah, this is so much better than the first game, at least for me. My biggest problem with the first game is once you cleaned each hideout or whatever it was called out, they were all gone and I had to do other things I wasn't as interested in.

    Watch Dogs: Legion

    It's a fun and often pretty sandbox, but im not powering through it or anything.

    Desktop Computers

    My x370 only supports up to the Ryzen 3000 series, hoping those drop a tick or two after this week. Hesitant to buy used, but seems like a nice way to get a higher end 3000 series CPU on the cheap, risks aside.

    Watch Dogs: Legion

    Actually that would be fun, building out and managing assets/facilities/counter-DedSec personnel, protecting artifacts and prisoners, mitigating intrusions.

    Watch Dogs: Legion

    I updated my driver and the game looks a LOT better. It's more than playable (this is at 5120x1440), just want it to look more gooder. Will have to keep tweaking.

    Watch Dogs: Legion

    I had several crashes but blamed the VPN for them. Looking forward to getting back into it. Wife taking my 3080 copy since I'm a subscription junkie, I'm not sure I'm a fan of starting with a few good recruits though. Could always start a permadeath run and suicide them right off the bat or...
