    My new 3700X system arrived. Runs nice and quiet. One thing I didn't realise about current gen PCs is how many coloured lights they have inside. CPU fan, ram, fix card all cycling coloured light patterns. Something for my dog to enjoy when he's keeping me company while I work.

    Woke TV goes to 11 - new diversity standards

    Did they define what an 'underrepresented group' is? If not then it's probably pretty easy to make the case that every TV show meets those standards. Oh that cast of 100% white males? One of them is gay. One of them is atheist. One of them is bulgarian. One of them knows how to play the ukulele...

    Enjoyable especially the end. Church of the Collective storyline still disconnected but I guess it has to make sense soon since we're nearing the end of the season.

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

    When someone's most major complaint is the art that was used to display the skill tree you know they are going to complain about everything and can safely disregard their opinion.

    How to handle a bad VP

    I'm frequently put in similar situations where I have to explain why things things that wen't wrong happened. I almost always avoid naming names. I'll say (as an example) 'the power cable was accidentally pulled out' or 'backup of the data had not been confirmed before running the upgrade'. If...

    Like this? MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI | RETURN TO HONOR I read that some people had issues with dark rock pro 4 clearing their ram. How can I tell if this will be an issue for me? especially with gskill ram which tends to have largeish casing.

    https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/8pv6n7 Am I likely to have any clearance issues with mid ATX cases like the be quiet! ones? I've never used anything other than full sized before. How good are the stock AMD coolers? Maybe I don't need the aftermarket one if I'm not planning to OC. Planning to...

    This season is great so far. Not as good as S1 but still excellent. Stormfront is hilarious and the actress is killing it!

    Living in Australia, there have been 0 covid cases in my city in months (not the case for some other cities in AU). I do own some home made cloth masks I've never used. When out and about I do occasionally see people wearing masks, but very few. Life is pretty much normal here although we are...

    Oxygen Not Included

    What world trait causes these hot boulders? I've never seen them before but they are all over this map including several in the starting biome which is quite the hazard! Here's one which spawned on top of the abyssalite between a slime biome, a rust biome, and space. There's no volcano nearby so...

    Yes, not anywhere near this severe though. Come to think of it I think this is a non standard map type so that's probably why.

    Oxygen Not Included

    I still have lots of projects I want to try out. I keep restarting, usually after something goes horribly wrong. Like my most recent game was on verdante, I had mountains of space materials and a map full of volcanoes, hot steam vents and other good endgame stuff, so i was trying out all sorts...

    My latest map.. most stressful start I've had so far and it's far from secure yet. Had large 1600 degree obsidian chunks spawn ~35 tiles from my printing pod, 2 to the left and 1 down. Started vaccuum sealing it but it was too slow and the heat was very quickly getting in so i rushed insulated...

    Stormfront seems pretty legit power wise and appears not to be afraid of homelander at all - to the point of openly intentionally antagonising him. Pretty interesting character and great s2 so far!

    How about how he drinks the defrosted breast milk of a woman he murdered? This show is awesome!

    Warframe

    Supposedly they hotfixed it so necromechs drop them "more", and they spawn "more often" in vaults. 9 vault runs in the last 2 days, 0 drops from necromechs and 1 from random spawn in a vault.. Got sick of vaults and started doing the bounties which have them as rewards last night.. around 12...

    Pretty much. No need for sour gas boilers when solar across the map and whatever hydrogen/natural gas you've got is enough power for almost anything.

    https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/457140/view/2512394801628779315 Some really good stuff coming in the DLC. Looks like nuclear power and a fully revamped space system including the ability to build on other asteroids.. exciting!

    Warframe

    The new new player experience is part of heart of deimos which is going live 25th Aug. I too am a frame hoarder and have almost all normal frames still. I'm missing a couple I've never finished such as Ash and Atlas.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    They improved the derpface somewhat with early patches. They didn't fix the cringeworthy conversation options but that kind of thing doesn't bother me too much. As you mentioned it did feel like an ME game, it felt like it had a big scope, the wonder of exploring somewhere new, and the combat...

    Stargirl

    I dunno, most of the teenagers are medium level annoying. Cindy is the best of them, she's a very likeable psychopath. Luke Wilson is definitely the star of the show(and the most heroic!), and Amy Smart is pretty great too.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    There's plenty of players, it's hard to tell whether it's going up or down due to megaserver but dungeon spawns are instant on tank/healers (have always been pretty slow on dps), every zone you go to is full of players and there is a thriving economy. The monetization is about in line with...

    Warframe

    So this thread bump inspired me to get back into WF, especially after I found there's a new frame to farm.. But I also just discovered that transference doesn't trigger Octavia's passive any more! When did that happen? Totally unwarranted nerf to the best frame in the game :(

    Warframe

    Warframe is really a good game. It's one I keep coming back to every 6-12 months.. Usually put a month or two in to it then put it on hold for a while. Some of the bosses are way overtuned compared to others since they have been revamped out of order. Some of the bosses still haven't been...

    It was pretty meh. It's a fairly fast paced action movie but extraction was a lot better.

    Foundation

    I don't see how they could possibly translate it to TV. This is most likely going to be set in the same universe but a completely separate story? So......still interested because it's scifi!

    Playstation 5

    They don't whine about it (well I'm sure some do but on the whole they don't).. None of what you said has anything to do with my comment. Of course they memorialize it, it killed more than 100k people and destroyed a city.

    Playstation 5

    They don't really. Most that I've spoken to understand why it happened and think it was a result of their imperialist aggression. It's mostly westerners who love to feel guilt who still complain about it.

    The Old World - new civ-type game

    They've patched in a new victory condition which makes it even faster and easier to win with early aggression. If you have at least half of the target VP, and double the nearest competitor you win.

    The Old World - new civ-type game

    Next game, points victory this time on turn 115 using Rome. Focussed on expansion and warring rather than city development and still ended up with 3 legendary cities by the end. My biggest obstacle was one of the tribes who amazingly started with around 10 cities all around my starting area...

    The Old World - new civ-type game

    I was planning to leave Rome alone since they were good allies all game.. buuuut after smashing persias defences and clearing out their first city, Rome came and camped on it before I had a chance to (since I finished it with ranged)... so they had to die too. Took 30 years for my cataphract...

    The Old World - new civ-type game

    Victory in year 158 through ambition. Was on the cusp of getting a score victory too since my cities are all rapidly hitting legendary and I'm blocking several city sites I could colonize if I felt like it. Rome (purple to the west) was the early game powerhouse so I friended them. They spent...

    The Old World - new civ-type game

    Second run through is going better. Made nice with my closest strongest neighbour (marriage, trade etc) and have done everything I can to maintain the relationship. They are acting as a nice buffer against the aggressive NPC behind them and the two have been fighting a war for 100 years or so...
