    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    The shield is only 167 health on Very Hard and on 125 Ultra Hard. It's 500 on Story Mode and 300 on whatever other pussy difficulty there is between that and very hard.

    Event Horizon (1997)

    Yeah, I had a PPP dialup connection when Netscape was new. I remember having to script the login myself. No AOL bullshit.

    Event Horizon (1997)

    I saw that movie when I was way too young and I think between that and early internet exposure that really fucked me up lol.

    How man emails do you deal with professionally?

    I would never respond to an actual SMS text from work except that one time that it was my boss panicking because he forgot I had a dentist appointment and thought I ghosted the job for another company. But I definitely enjoy using things like Slack/Teams on my phone to answer simple questions...

    External spinning disk HDD or just a thumb drive? If a disk, how old? Could be a potential source of issues.

    Yup, RAM or power. Follow the recommendations in my previous post regarding the RAM. You don't have any weird USB devices do you? Some kind of DAC that might be overdrawing USB power?

    Destiny is a pretty strong IP, Bungie has good brand recognition, and I think you're underrating the talent. They have a performant game engine that looks good, plays well and still runs on a potato. It's also got a profitable cash shop model.

    Is it a true hard lock (no sound or looping sound) or does the display lock up but you can still hear sound playing for a bit before the system crashes? Hard locks are usually either RAM timings, or power irregularities. Clear the CMOS battery and reconfigure everything in BIOS. Reseat the...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    Na, Rogan is way smarter than Trump and actually gives a shit about people. He's a nice person and deeply sincere. The video he posted today was basically a perfect shutdown of his critics while also being nice and heartfelt, and he did a better explanation of how he sees his position in the...

    Bungie was 1/20th the pricetag and probably has way more active development talent. ActiBliz has the the people working on COD and the lifeless husk that is Blizzard.

    Yeah I never used the power armor, it doesn't even seem good honestly.

    Maybe they wanted Bungie to bring in more experienced crossplatform developers. Destiny 2 is a perfect example of a game that runs very well on literally everything.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    The only time I ever had to use traps was on the first Cauldron boss. That thing is a bitch for how early in the game you fight it.

    I just came here to post that. Very... interesting? IDK what to think. Sony doesn't seem to have a cross-platform strategy like Xbox does and I think that might hurt them. They're not Nintendo; they can't just rest on having good first-party developers and IPs.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Not really. Both the Lodge Bow and the Banuk Bow do a shitload of freeze damage modded. Frost Bombs and Frost Traps are really good early on though. The slings in general are really useful, I would not have been able to beat the last hunting trial in the DLC if I didn't have a fully modded...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    You definitely get a lot more powerful with upgrades, but at no point on anything but the lowest difficulty can you just let machines melee you. The melee attacks in this game all do a lot of damage and almost all of them knock you down. You get more powerful and can take more hits but the...

    XCOM 2

    The unique armors from Alien Hunters are pretty fucking cool. The unique experimental weapons like the throwing axe are cool too. Templars seemed cool but they kinda suck.

    You get one superpower

    I have a psychology degree and a completely unrelated 6-figure job. I'm not depressed, no therapist I've talked to thinks I'm depressed. I'm not even sad. I just don't see the value in pursuing happiness, other people, or anything else. We're a doomed species on a doomed planet in a doomed...

    You get one superpower

    Only for job interviews and similar things. People tend to like me, however inexplicable that is. It's actually quite confusing to me when people like me, or at least pretend to like me, because I certainly don't like me and don't see why anyone else would, so I just default to assuming they...

    As much as I hate Robinhood, that's not really that much of a drop off, just a regression to the mean. I'm sure a lot of people took their business elsewhere after the whole GameStop trading freeze fiasco.
