    Naturally NFL2Go is a more reliable stream than ESPN.

    Hangouts was becoming what all my friends used, but Google went and fucked that up. Now we're all over the place, Messenger, Hangouts, SMS, and Discord.

    Decent month of games if you haven't played them. Too bad this Mordor isn't Play Anywhere.

    I see that on occasion too, one is a DisplayPort screen also. Usually have to alt-tab a few times or hit start a couple times and it gets it's shit together.

    Yeah, finished the game at 38, got my first legenary (hard to call it that when it's purple and not orange) .... for a different class. On to elite!

    I think that in order to do this right, the temporary option isn't going to work. Need them on our insurance, etc. It's not like we're going for custody and adoption. If in a year or three they've got a stable home this whole arrangement can be reevaluated - but we expect and plan for it to be...

    Grim Dawn

    Yeah, I don't see why I'd play the next season of Diablo, so as long as I have a friend or two playing this will probably be my fix. I am nearing the end of the map that I can see an am in my low 30s, is that the whole game? And then I can restart and farm on higher difficulties until I get...

    Computer Issues

    It just felt like it was worse than normal, going from a 980Ti to a 1080Ti some games actually felt like they ran worse (Diablo 3 was the worst offender). Disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome was a noticeable improvement. Still some video choppiness but nothing nearly as bad as it was...

    Oh, another observed oddity, running games in a borderless window makes them run like shit. I'll tinker with Chrome, thanks @a c i d.f l y

    Started playing this more recently as a friend who's burned out on Diablo III started playing. Expansion is out next month adding 2 new classes, more skills, constellations and a couple more chapters to the story.

    Kinda feel like I have a first world PC problem. I have an i5 4690k, 16gb of RAM and a 1080 Ti connected to 2 monitors at 1440p, one is an ultrawide. What I've been noticing more and more lately is apps don't seem to be multitasking as well. Tonight for example I fired up a game on my primary...

    Sorry to hear that, and thanks. Mom's the planner though, she's working on every angle, knows when she needs to sell the house if he passes within a certain amount of time based on social security and pension milestones, all that jazz. If their roles were reversed (and they were somewhat...

    Not going to go through his 30 minute video, but hopefully that's not based off of YoY sales, comparing it to rebirth. Sales are down but the industry is far from dead. That being said, the end of the year should outsell last year thanks to the big stuff DC is doing and Marvel Legacy and if...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I'd bite on this but if I'm going to buy this game I'll pay the extra to have it on both the One X and Win10. Have plenty to play in my limited time at the moment, so probably wait for a sale or pick it up after release.

    Nothing is involved yet. My wife and/or mom are going to see someone for next steps legally and we'll involve those services if they advise us to. It's possible that we could do a temporary guardianship (just learned about this) for up to 6 months and then evaluate things from there but I'd be...

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    The app lets you set how long it stays on, so if the sensor can see the area they're playing in (rather than just pointed at the door or something) then it might flicker or dim when the pre-set time runs out, but then will trigger again and stay on for the allotted time. You can also get a...

    So we're working through the likely possibility that we're going to become guardians of my sister's kids. They're 4 and 7, our kids are 3 and 6. 2 girls (the younger of the 4) and 2 boys. Sister is a junkie who can't even provide for herself that we're trying to help salvage her life, their...

    Just over 4 hours from now Cassini will disintegrate in Saturn's atmosphere. Titan one last time (9/12) And a goodbye to Encaladus, as it set over Saturn's limb. 2 mosaics of images taken by Cassini prior to it's final dive into Saturn. :(

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Kinda thought they might be neat. Came away feeling like I was doing something wrong. Did a normal and a greater and in both of them it didn't put my in a group/raid and I died a bunch of times. So, if that's normal, pretty lame.

    We had to play stream roulette w/ the McGregor fight, and then when the main event started I was better off going to reddit and getting a stream from there. NFL2Go has been great for us. Only hiccup was when I logged in on both phones showing it to my wife, not realizing neither were on wifi...

    It's mostly smear/noise and dirty uncalibrated optics, but this is the closest (1641km) image we'll get of Saturn until we send an atmospheric probe there one day. Cassini's final image uplink will be done on the 14th before it's reconfigured to send telemetry live as it's collected on it's...

    Yeah. They need to tweak things a bit. 3 nights would be a lot more exciting if it was on par with night's 10-14. That was a ton of fun. 1-8 or so was a bit of a slog. I think they need to incent/allow you to build more generators earlier. Requiring more resources to protect and increasing the...

    Finished a 14-night survival tonight. Was fun, not sure if/when we'll do it again. What we'd really like is to have a 3 night mode that starts at our aggregate level and then gives us progressively harder waves. Biggest challenges were when we had to defend opposite sides, and most fun was...

    The launch content from the first game is finally coming to Xbox One this fall, more than 3 years after release. I'm not getting my hopes up on seeing D2 exclusives anytime soon.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Strikes on harder difficulty levels and raids is where it's at for PVE. I played up until raids were released in the first one. If you only play PVE it's where the shitty Sony exclusive hurts, because 1 strike ends up being a pretty large % of the PVE content.

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

    Why? It's already $100 cheaper. At most I'd see them knocking $50 off and including games. I think they hold firm with 'look at our games, and look at the graphics on Horizon' and make MS prove why you should spend $100+. Then again with Gamepass and EA Access that's not that hard of an...
