    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    lol yeah making an RPG in an engine that can't render hair past the collar is a big fucking lol.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Using it for an RPG is stupid, but it's actually fantastic FPS engine after the requisite 6 months of patching.

    Computer Issues

    Storage device issue or something to do with the virtualization extensions on the CPU? Could be a bitlocker problem? That's a lot of layers to troubleshoot via a forum post. Did you @ShakyJake update the firmware for the laptop itself?

    https://www.aukey.com/collections/mouse-mouse-pad/products/extended-xxl-mouse-mat Very nice for the price. Protects the whole desk. Putting a huge mousepad under your keyboard helps reduce typing strain. If you hate the logo just sharpie it. This might be a Chinese knockoff of same the...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I would guess >60% of all English-language fantasy and sci-fi writers over the past century, if asked, would brag in some way about 'forcing' contemporary social issues of their time into their non-contemporary stories. Probably more than that, once you count the authors that were in some way...

    For All Mankind

    Ed's was injecting himself with HGH or something all season. If they go 8 seasons they either have to cheat with life extending technologies like they did in the Mars Trilogy or rotate the cast.

    Nonsense. Basically everyone who works at Blizzard in any technical capacity can invite whomever they want once it hits F&F alpha. I was in very early F&F alpha for WOTLK, SC2, Cata and D3 along with a ton of other people just because someone in our guild was a mid-level in-house QA person who...

    Oh yeah it just dawned on me that it was supposed to be the Oklahoma City Bombing. They definitely did a fantastic job closing the loop on Molly's story, kinda makes me forgive a lot of the dumb bullshit in this season.

    The most absurd thing is that it's "too risky to deliver a baby on Mars so let's just launch a pregnant lady on top of the MSAM."

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    I thought it was a pretty downer movie, actually. The previous two were more fun.

    Yeah, I just watched No Way Home and it was quite a mess as I hadn't seen those spider man movies in a long time, and had skipped the bad ones which is most of them.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Video game companies cannot let people work for free. Old lawsuits against AOL and Origin have precedence that you basically can't use volunteer labor without getting into serious trouble with labor laws.

    Yeah, the Shellsnapper is definitely the creature that gave me the most trouble at the point at which you first start encoutering them, then again when Apex Shellsnappers randomly started showing up on the two harder difficulties.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Uh the javelins are the best weapons in the sequel, and the bomb slingshot things are really good against certain types of enemies. There's a reason it lets you put 6 weapons on the wheel this time, so you can have 3 different bows and then 3 other weapons.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    HFW had really good graphics, combat, itemization, and the story structure of the midgame is really good. But the actual overarching plot ended up quite dumb, the ending was anticlimactic as fuck. If you own a PS5, a high end TV and like shooting robot dinos with various weapons, it's...

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

    RTX 3080/3080ti/3090 can be undervolted by 30% and lose <3% performance. Basically, getting the last few mhz of boost clocks 100% stable takes a massive amount of power. So they have a lot of tweaking room, either lowering boost clocks, or stabilizing some other way like better voltage regulation.
