    How you liking the health regen? It sounds really powerful, but there's a lot of argument for whether to get health regen on a charge blade.

    Just took out tempered kirin. Used the drum tool on my calico and only engaged it with either vitality or thunderproof mantle up, took a while and only used my big attacks a few times. Now it's time for some tempered elder farming!!

    Got to HR46 before I learned that powercharm isn't a vendor-bought charm item and is instead some shit that you can put in your inventory to give a semi-passive buff. Monster Hunter World Power Charm & Armor Charm: why you should buy & upgrade these items as a priority | RPG Site

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I don't mind consoles pushing innovation at all. The entire business model of a manufacturer (sony/microsoft) spending massive amounts of money on computing R&D to build the most powerful, loss-leading console they can for ~$500 and then recouping that through game sales is great for gaming, and...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I've made a few hairworks jokes myself, but it's a silly comparison. I remember loading up Witcher and being totally impressed with the graphics, but laughably dimissive of the idea of having fancy hair for me and a wolf at the cost of a single FPS (much less 10 or whatever it was). But...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I view PC Gaming / GPUs being upgraded less frequently as a good thing, and a result of being more tied to consoles (because most games are cross platform) which is another good thing. PC gamers today can spend $100-$200 a year and keep their systems in a state where they can run any game they...

    Charge Blade + Hit Box + KO question: I'm trying to elevate my charge blade game from taking pot shots at feet and then trying to SAED the center mass of the monster more toward getting a SAED on the head of a monster for KO damage. My SAED is such a huge sweeping attack, it's hard for me to...

    Lotta people talking about connection errors being fixed from this patch: MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD :: Status Update: Connection Error Issues Now they just need to get some of that particle effect drop, texture issues and some raw mouse input in and they'll have a decent port.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    100% agree. No reason to really continue the debate with confidence until we see third party benchmarks comparing the RTX2080 vs a GTX1080 Ti, or an RTX2080 Ti vs 2x GTX1080 Ti or something. Basically a dollar for dollar comparison. Frankly I'll be surprised if the new generation can compete...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Also I'm thinking about getting a GTX 1080 Ti to replace my GTX970. I was going to get an RTX2080, but it seems like it's not going to be a good enough value. I like the idea of RTX, I just am more interested in general 4k gaming and don't think I'll use RTX any more than I used Hairworks. But...

    I ran like 30 feet of hdmi / usb from my office to my living room. It's a little unwieldy but it works. Turns out my three year old doesn't want to watch his old man play video games, wtf?

    Yeah that makes sense. I think I'm more looking for non-obvious, but easy ways to have my rag tag group of MHW journeymen do to coordinate better without having them make huge changes to their weapons.. Ex: we can cycle flash pods or something. I'm just so new to multiplayer I don't know what...

    How reliable is buying second-hand GPUs? Are you going to get some GPU that's been roasting in a bitcoin mining shack for the last two years and is on the verge of dying or?

    Monster Hunter: World

    So I played with a few IRL bros last night against Nergigante. It seemed like it was much harder to get status effects and breaks on him. I read that his HP is increased by 2.2x in multiplayer which is fine, but he still seemed a lot harder beyond that and it felt like I could solo him more...

    I'm doing OK with my charge blade and there will be moments where a little bit of luck combines with me hitting my rotation right and everything lines up in a massive combo of destruction and it's so rewarding. Watching vids of people executing perfectly is so invigorating just because I want...

    I'm sure the new consoles are going to have monster cards whose equivalent for PC cost more than the consoles themselves just like the last ones.

    We'll see. He hasn't said anything substantial about specific tech improvements he plans on making in boring tech that would get him the 10% of current costs figures he's talking about.
