    Black Desert

    The character models looking absolutely amazing in the character creator, but in-game everything looks kind of meh. Is it my settings? The beginning area?

    Black Desert

    Okay, well I kind of equate not being casual friendly with grindy. I personally don't mind it, but I suspect my friends will buckle. Anyway, do people use macro software (e.g. AutoHotKey, et. al.) for combos? My initial impression from the combo helper pop-up is, "good lord, I'm not going to...

    Yeah I'm getting sensory overload.

    Black Desert

    General question: is this game casual friendly? I'm getting the vibe that this is a hardcore's paradise.

    Rick and Morty

    I thought they had their mojo back with that first episode. Oh well.

    Black Desert

    Started messing with this due to friends insisting on NOT playing other options... Combat is pretty fun, but movement in general is kind of janky. How's the Tamer for PVE? Also, is there a good site for builds or general skill recommendations?

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Same here. It's neat but I personally don't give a shit about handhelds. Even my on my smartphone, I have no games installed. Just not interested in playing games on a tiny screen. What I AM interested in is a set top box. What the hell happened to the SteamBox? Seems like they slipped...

    Yeah, I reroll constantly until I find something I like. This is really annoying.

    Black Desert

    I don't think so. Characters aren't server specific, are they? Rather, no matter which server you choose all your characters come with? EDIT: nevermind. it's confusing. Slots open up as you create a character. The wording made it think the one available slot was only for a season character.

    Black Desert

    What the hell? Thought I'd give this another shot, but quickly discovered you can only create one character? And if you want to delete it and start over, you have to wait 24 hours for deletion?

    It should, yes. You could also consider a Blazor app.

    Don't cringe, dude. Like Lend says, .NET 5+ is amazing.

    Don't laugh, but Xamarin Forms might be worth a look. Microsoft seems pretty committed to it. It's now a part of .NET Core (.NET 5). https://github.com/dotnet/maui

    I think Google themselves have switched to Kotlin? I watched a short intro video on Kotlin and I believe that was one of the points the author made.

    The past couple of episodes have been shit.

    Guild Wars 2

    Once you hit 80 and get your elite spec, look into the Flamethrower Scrapper build: Scrapper - Flamethrower Scrapper - MetaBattle Guild Wars 2 Builds This is what I ran for open world/story. Although I went with Shredder and Bulwark Gyro skills. Learn to swap between the flamethrower and...

    Dude, you can't leave us hanging.

    Mare of Easttown

    I did enjoy this, but the above also crossed my mind. You could completely erase the daughter's existence and the story wouldn't need changes. Token gay character.

    Guild Wars 2

    Best casual MMO on the market.

    The Leftovers was done by the same fool as Lost. So, there you go.

    Also, looks like we're going back to the Windows 7 glass/Aero theme? Which I always liked so I'm cool with that.

    What kind of lazy ass civilization waits until the last minute to evacuate? Planets don't exactly sneak up on you.

    New World

    I played it about a year ago (to CP160), so unless they've had a massive overhaul of the combat system I cannot fathom how you would consider it "smooth". Although I'm speaking mostly to the graphics, animation, and feel of the combat. On that level the game is incredibly amateurish. If you...

    New World

    ESO was the most generic and bland MMO I've ever played. The combat is clunky as hell.

    Windows 11

    From what I read a few months ago, some version of Windows 10X was supposed to not have the legacy Win32 stuff.

    Yeah, I'm guessing chip shortages nixed any hardware releases.

    Is the legacy Win32 crap finally going bye bye?

    Without a hardware update, the Switch is going to start looking really god damn old compared to the Xbox and PS5.

    Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis

    I'm confused. Do armor upgrades not have a visual component? Reason why I ask is why does the character creator have so many options for clothing only for it to get covered up later?

    Loki

    Haha yeah I groaned. But white boy out smarted the she-boon, though, so we got that. Great first episode!

    Bah the kids are fine. Holy shit that ending to episode 9.

    Well, they looked somewhat convincingly old, so 200M well spent...

    Shadow and Bone

    That makes no sense. The CGI in a lot of scenes looked pretty low rent.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    So has that greatly anticipate report been released? Styx had a video this morning claiming the contents of it were bullshit like he had predicted.
