    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    @yimmien I had similar problems with two PS4s. I ended up selling the old one because I couldn't find a solution I was happy with. It seems the only real option is to make the other system entirely standalone, which means double purchases. Making the other one your primary and then using the...

    The PS store is fucked up again, just like last week. Any page other than page 1 doesn't work for me.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    PS4 pro came out at the end of 2016. Everyone already has a PS4. I hope the sales of the new Xbox would beat out the PS4. If it didn't that would actually be news. Have they released the number of Skyrim PSVR bundles that they sold, other than "all of them"? That's going to be an interesting stat.

    I thought the cannon from Serious Sam was amazing at the time. I loved the weight and the bouncing around all over the levels.

    It's pretty great on the PS4 Pro. Then again my only Windows box is a Surface - no PC gaming for over 3 years for me. I don't feel like I've missed anything during that time, either.

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    Let's take it one step at a time. First step: buy a bicycle for less than $100 off craigslist or the facebook marketplace. There, you are no longer walking. Your two hour commute has been reduced to 20 minutes for 1/20th the cost of your original request. What other ridiculous requests do you...

    Yes, hold the options button to recenter. If that works, but not 100%, hit the PS button to go back to the dashboard. Hold options there. Enter the game again (you don't have to close the game if you are new to the PS4) and it should recalculate again.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    You know the supply drop mode they have in BF1? In BC3 the supplies that drop from the sky will be actual loot crates that you have to fight over. Including fighting with your team over them. Totally not out of the realm of possibility.

    They are cycling the VR games every 2 months on plus. Rush of blood will be gone next month. Prior to Rush of Blood it was RIGS. There are a bunch of VR games on sale on the store right now. I just picked up: The Solus Project Statik EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone Raw Data is also on sale, but I'm...

    @Attog I think you got a great price. I think the best price I've seen for each is ~$350 each, pro and PSVR.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    @a_skeleton_03 if you move this forum over to AWS I expect your costs to go up at least 4x. I'm kind of amazed you are using elasticsearch on aws. I have always used a dedicated server (32 cores and 48gb ram for $65/mo) for my elasticsearch needs. The same hardware in AWS would cost me a kidney...

    The V2 headset has a volume button switch. It's under the visor near the power button. It looks like a 4 way switch but only does three things, volume up/down, mute/unmute toggle.

    My personal experiences kind of fuck with my point of view when it comes to this kind of stuff. I work at two places which are polar opposites. One is a tiny place where I have worked with a handful of people for 15 years. The other makes clinical trials software. I have to deal with crazy...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yes, at a large company there would be a position that is just that. What I was (poorly) trying to say is that it's not really the best idea to have the feature developer perform this task. At a smaller company I imagine the role would be to set up and run the automated testing infrastructure...

    Yes, you don't, but don't you think there is value in a person/position that would flesh out those tests? I guess it depends on the product.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    @Deathwing I wrote up a big reply, but re-reading your post it wasn't quite what you asked. It's not that developers don't want to review the output of the tests ran against their code. Instead, it's usually that development deadlines are so tight that they don't have time to do that kind of...

    Just a heads up - if you already have Dirty Rally like I do, you can get the VR addon for $13. It features a codriver mode which is going to lead to a certain divorce for me. My wife can't give directions for shit.

    Okay, the new VR box is pretty cool. If you do research you will see that the older one doesn't pass through HDR and if you want to use headphones with 3d audio, you can do that, but you can't do headphones AND play audio for those watching. The new VR box (in the Skyrim bundle) not only passes...

    Got one! Picked up Farpoint too. RE7 was out of stock. Best buy had a stack of fucking 50 bundles. About 30 of them were Gran Turismo bundles. Plenty of Skyrims. The kids and even the wife are freaking out over the multiplayer demo stuff where you are interacting with the person in the VR...

    Bummer. Shitty end to a solid game. I guess time will tell but my guess is that there some epic fuck ups by execs and Disney had no choice but to pull the plug. Edit: Fuck me. I just read the last page, and my guess is way off. @Byr that's way worse than I expected.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    I think you are correct. What was a mainstream full price game is becoming a mainstream game with some purchase price with the implied spend within the game to compete or get the "full experience". I had something typed up about how this may be similar to how complex some mainstream games used...

    Absolutely. It's painful to watch the matches she's in because the skill level is so low. I guess the point I'm making is that even at that skill level it's filled with level 1200+ people. Best case those are other kids.

    Overwatch is an interesting comparison because the player base is actually retarded. I'll put it to you this way. My 11 year old daughter gets to play video games only on weekends. Most weekends we're out of town at sports events, so zero time spent playing. She's now level 100 in Overwatch, I...

    @Pyros if you have a PS4 with a bad HDD you can get any $50 laptop drive. It's an amazingly easy install. It boggles the mind that you guys have PS4s and haven't played Bloodborne or Uncharted yet. Hell, if I didn't have everything digitally I could send care package to you idiots to get you...

    If you have Comcast in your area, skip all the bullshit and sign up for a business account. I average 1.4 TB downloads, with about 600 GB of uploads per month. It's mostly boring work stuff, but they don't care about data usage if you want to go crazy.

    @Kiroy did you read the updated statement about loot boxes? They backed off what it was, which was absolutely pay to win. Read this carefully.

    I think you're fine. If you want to spend under (roughly) $400, Yamaha is the best receiver you can buy. They have owned that tier for a long time. Pioneer used to have some good things, but that hasn't been the case in a long time. > $400 < $1,500 I'd say Marantz. That's where I always have...

    I wouldn't recommend that Yamaha receiver simply because it doesn't have pre-outs. You'll be constrained later. I'm a huge Marantz fan - I would go with a SR5012. Marantz US | SR5012
