    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Why would it be more than just they're on their marketplace again now that they've established the Origin store? I'm not buying EA games anywhere anytime soon w/ Origin Premier and there's no way EA is getting rid of services that give them money directly. Why wouldn't this just be an...

    The Outer Worlds

    What isn't supported for ultra-wide? The UI is in the right spots, just the loading screens are stretched and the cinematic have black bars, but used to the later in particular. Are things stretching at 3440x1440 that I'm just not noticing? I had to adjust the FOV to 85 is all.

    I fully expect to enjoy this for dozens of minutes before gaming add sends me elsewhere, lol.

    Xbox Gold (monthly games + multiplayer) Xbox Game Pass (game catalog - play anywhere games available on PC) PC Game Pass (PC game catalog) Those are the 3 subs condensed into Xbox Ultimate. Ultimate is required for many early access and pre-release games and Ultimate is the one subject to all...

    Fallout 76

    Private servers are finally here.... if you pay for a subscription. $12.99/mo, $99/y. The only good thing you can extract from any of this is only the host of the server has to pay for the sub, they can invite 7 others who aren't subs to play...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Thought it was kinda bleh but didn't play it much. It's in the vault for Origin Premier members.

    I didn't realize who Jeremy Irons was.

    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    Over 100 titles from UPlay+ are expected to be added, but that's in 2020 sometime. Didn't realize that wasn't a launch thing until just recently.

    Watchmen

    Can't believe they had squid. I wonder if it's using that ending to the comic also rather than the original movie ending. It was mentioned in the interrigation too, asking if he thought it was an interdimensional attack or a government conspiracy. Really liked this, for all the world building...

    I just read them at getcomics.info usually but have picked up the in-store habit for the couple of things I really like (the new X-Stuff mostly)

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Yeah, will have a trial for EA Access (Xbox, PS4, Origin Basic on PC I think) and the deluxe edition included in Origin Premier (PC)

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Humble Monthly is changing into Humble Choice. If you are a sub before the switch, you get an exclusive cheaper option w/ more games called Humble Classic. All games will be visible up front, and the scheme now is you get to pick which games you want to keep, with multiple sub tiers...

    Health Problems

    Kinda looks like psoriasis to me. Every couple years I get that on my elbow(s), none of the scary shit you see in a google image search thankfully. Brief update a month in to diabetus meds... blood sugar on average between 88-100, bp about perfect, walking 2-4 miles a day and losing a pound or...

    Project xCloud working really well (only tried Killer Instinct and Halo 5 so far). Time to get a mount for my phone and Xbox controller.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Skill-based matchmaking is probably the only reason I've got 800+ hours into Rocket League. Not that that may translate well to Fortnite, but maybe I'll finally give it a shot.

    Playstation 5

    I still want to play Spider-Man, probably my biggest reason to want a PS5, since I'm not buying back to the ecosystem in the interim. That and their approaches for remote play, other ecosystem features and a lesser extent any followup to PSVR are much more interesting to me than any potential...

    Kickstarters

    Why did I click on this thread, now I want Oathsworn and my friends don't even really get together for board games much anymore. About to offload my Dark Souls stuff at cost to a friend, perhaps I'll just turn that around and drop it on this.

    They released a sizzle reel of what's on the service. It's more than 3 hours long.

    Ballers (HBO show with The Rock)

    I didn't like it. It felt like they were rushing through everything like it was on flash cards. Maybe it was just the poor contrast vs Succession, which was slow and methodical. Wish the finale was an hour, give you a moment to breath between the beats. Fun series though.

    Playstation 5

    That's pretty much Microsoft's strategy (forward and backward compatibility with more frequent hardware revisions), we haven't seen Sony really lay out similar ambitions yet but it would be nice if they did.

    Playstation 5

    Agree, and Sony's been there before (removing PS2 BC from PS3 'because there are enough games on PS3 now'). They've got PS Now they're pushing a bit harder, which could influence development decisions as they watch competition come online this fall that'll probably be more successful out of the...

    Playstation 5

    I think they're actually still kinda ambiguous on the level of backward compatibility that's been officially announced thus far. If they're not fully backward compatible (with digital library transferring, etc) with the PS4 that'll be a huge mistake.

    Gemini Man (2019)

    Technically amazing to watch at HFR. With the turret shooting up the storefront it was like watching some 3DMark demo or something. Movie was shit though.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Such an uncomfortable game to watch, watching injury after injury. Feels like the Chiefs are down 20. Colts should win this challenge, don't have to run a pick play when you're wide open instead of picking your guy anyways.

    Yeah I might end up w/ a Logitech 5.1 setup. The Bose Companion 5s are so good, just so frustrated w/ the auto-standby.

    For some reason I thought this movie already released and went away. Maybe I'll hit up the Dolby Cinema for the spectacle.
