    Bioware's "Anthem"

    "Buy a box once" gaming is done. I think we all know it, but let me share something that blew my mind. A friend of mine has insider info, I guess not really "insider info" but something that I doubt many people realized. Think about how huge GTA5 is/was. It made all that money, right? Now...

    Vermintide 2

    I love this game in and the first one. The thing that has impressed me the most is that they rolled in all of the late-game quality of life changes from Vermintide 1 and those were immediately available in Vermintide 2. It wasn't a situation like Destiny and Destiny 2 where Destiny 2 launched...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    Starblood Arena was on playstation plus awhile back. It's a 6 degree of freedom Descent-like game, where you do normal PVP game modes against each other. The setting is annoying, but the underlying systems are pretty good. Having a 6dof game where you can look around the cockpit to aim your...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Warframe is the closet thing to that. It's been consistently a better game than both Destiny 1 and 2.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    What I don't understand is how it ended up this way. It's simply got less of everything than the single player game. You can't hunt effectively, because a fraction of the wildlife spawns in. There aren't any quests to speak of. There aren't any random events. There isn't a reasonable way to...

    @Crone they don't recommend VR for kids under 12. Something about eye development. Talk to your eye doctor about it.

    For usb devices I use the anker 10 point charging hub. I got it back in 2016 according to amazon, so look for a newer one. I have 3 kids, so we have a FUCKLOAD of usb devices. It's got all 10 ports with some kind of cable hooked up.

    Hey, there is a somewhat hidden setting in the ps4 that affects how it interacts with the TV. Try this: Safe mode This talks more about Vizio TVs: PS4 Pro not working with your 4K TV? PS4 firmware may be the issue

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    Queasy I guess. I feel that way for a few hours afterwards. Some people blow chunks within seconds of putting the headset on. Some games are worse than others, but 90 minutes is the upper limit for my best-case scenario.

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I have to admit that I'm jealous my oldest kid can do unlimited time in VR. She played Skyrim for like 4 or 5 hours yesterday. I can't do more than 90 minutes, and after that 90 minutes I need to recover for a few hours.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I haven't made any video games, but I have done software and system administration professionally for 20 years. I've been through two small company acquisitions. Going from a small agile company to a large company does not decrease development time. Everything takes longer. The worst example I...

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands

    Arise... I picked this up on PS4 during the black friday sale, which is still ongoing. $60 for the huge edition. I have been playing Farcry 5 and wanted more of that kind of game, so I ended up with this. Is anyone playing? Add me on ps4 - NDizzl0r (odd psn name, I know)

    Battlefield V

    I'm watching that "potential for greatness" video... Well, skimming it. Is it just me or did they use 100% of the content from BF1 in BFV? The cathedral at the 3:45 mark is straight from the Russian DLC for BF1. I guess that's one way to get mileage out of DLC barely anyone buys...

    Hmmm that may explain how I got my horse today. I have been using remote play and leaving it paused a lot while working. I was going from A to B, not by auto pilot, and passed someone working on horseshoes for a horse on the side of the road. I didn't talk to him or whatever, honestly I was...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    NW of Strawberry there is a legendary buck. Just west of there is a river that flows into that little lake. Along that river last night I found three cougars. In the area around the trapper (again, roughly near the buck) there was another one. Lots and LOTS of hunting in that area. The unicorn...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Any tips for getting perfect rabbit pelts? I'm guessing I have to spend money on bait and lasso them at this point... Even if I get a headshot with the varmint rifle on a pristine rabbit, it will only give a good quality pelt.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Here's what I have now. I sold my E55 so I no longer have any fast cars. This is a 200 series Land Cruiser. I'm going to add a slight lift, steel front/rear bumpers with a winch and the exterior should be done. I'll probably move to 17" ICON wheels now that they have 5x150 options that clear...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I was bit by one a few years ago. Shit, 9 years ago? Anyways. I work from home, so I was out at like 10:30am taking a break, walking my dog with my headphones on. Music is loud, I kind of hear some commotion so I look up the street and there is some lady running towards me waving her arms in...

    Best general purpose laptop for $500?

    @Morrow if you want to move folders around you can use junction points. From an admin command prompt, run mklink /? Stop the blizzard client (I don't even know what it's called these days) - move the Overwatch folder or one of them to the storage drive (let's call it E: ) and then once it's...

    I'm looking to buy my kids some updated laptops. I'm thinking one of these in this thread would be good. They mostly play minecraft/stardew valley and those type of games. Would this one (linked earlier) work fine for that? I've been out of PC gaming for years...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I have tried the game on WiiU and 3ds. Those games sucked. The controls were absurdly bad with crazy input lag, horrible animation lock, hell you couldn't even walk while drinking a potion, could you? They were what I classify as "painfully Japanese games" which is a huge genre, in my opinion.

    I was a full-on hammer bro the first few days, but I changed to sword and shield last night to see what that's all about. If you're new to the series like I am and kind of bumbling around, give sword and shield a shot. The best thing about it is that the sheathe / unsheathe action is damn near...
