    pressing G toggles grouping them together too. Also shift-c gets them all to go into cover/hide so you can stealth as a group.

    Did you try swapping to the other API? (DX11/Vulkan) I've only crashed so far w/ my 4090 when I tried Vulkan.

    Surprised you can't just make characters outside of the start of the game, allowing you to build a stable to pick from when starting/joining campaigns.

    Heh, I finally saw my first temerity the week before S1 launched :| Not sure I'm up for a S2 either, but I'll have probably not regularly played for a couple months by then, so we'll see.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Doubt I'll kill Lilith or get level 100, the rest I'll probably do anyways over the next 2 weeks. May already have the 3 helltide mysteries unless that's wt4 specific and have killed at least 3 commanders. Only thing I'd have to go out of my way to do is the PVP bit, and already did the earlier...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Not playing PoE so couldn't care less, but for anyone interested here are the season objectives. If you've finished what you want of the battle pass and don't want the affixes, resources or titles then no, there's no reason to work through the season journey...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Wrapping up season challenges, basically, if any of that appeals to you. The upper 50s were probably the worst grind personally, not getting any rewarding items because my affixes and items were more than adequate and didn't feel like micromanaging small upgrades and just biding my time /...

    Secret Invasion

    Rough series, would have been better if it was released all at once instead of week to week IMO. Table is certainly set for the Dark Reign of the MCU though. Charlie's recap, thumbnail is a bit of a spoiler, so it's here:

    Secret Invasion

    Wondering if this Fury is going to end up either being a Skrull or a Life-Model Decoy. Finale and after credit scene(s) likely a launching off point for Armor Wars, The Marvels and the plot throughlines for the Captain America and Thunderbolts movies. Though would love if they pivoted, and...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Doubtful. Diablo is just one of a number of billion dollar franchises. Don't confuse bad with simply not for you. The game is far from perfect and needs a lot of work, but it will do well and continue to do well as they make changes season after season. Many will play all of them for the...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Given how it's portrayed, would have been difficult to mesh existing test footage with everything in this movie, how it goes w/ how we see the world through Oppenheimer's eyes, etc. I agree that it felt like a lesser explosion because of Nolan's methods and relying on minimal FX work, but...

    Secret Invasion

    The worst penultimate episode of a Marvel series? What a disappointment this series has been overall. Only bits I liked is it finally felt like Fury was starting to get to the upswing after burying him for 4 episodes. Even the recap is bad - Charlie's got some ADHD w/ his script/editing...

    Was still 100 at 11:30pm tonight. This is hot. 116 during the day is absolutely sweltering, but 'run the A/C nonstop' heat persisting hours after the sun goes down is the worst I guess we just missed some weird historical stat... 115 degree highs and not going below 90 for 3 days, happened...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    All the docks are pretty similar, this just has no display port vs the official. I have an unofficial that's very similar to this (think @spronk and I bought the same one just before the official one was released or made available) I'd expect most just use it for charging anyways in which case...

    Exoprimal, Overwatch meets Anthem?

    It's on Game Pass, so I'll download it at least and take a look. Not particularly excited about it, wonder if it could enter the LAN rotation w/ my friends since the price is right.

    FTC has appealed, but unless the temporary restraining order is extended past it's expiration on Friday they could begin closing the deal as early as this weekend. If they don't close or renegotiate some terms by 7/18 then MS will owe Activision a $3b breakup fee...

    A lot to like about this latest episode. Moved things along. What really bothered me though was how shitty that tiny POTUS motorcade was and the lame and slow quick reaction teams responding to the attack. All for the story, but as someone who likes to read about The Beast and the security...

    Frankly they're playing different games. I don't think anything MS does will help them overtake Sony or Nintendo in unit sales this generation or next. Those two are both still doing the console thing, while Microsoft wants your sub revenue and to let you play your games wherever you want for...

    Yeah, there's a lot of incoherent 'this will get easily appealed, the judge's son works at Microsoft and should have recused' as they ignore this was addressed day 1 and neither party had an issue with it. FTC wanted this court, MS wanted to move it to DC.

    A lot of it will be business as usual, with MS leveraging King's strengths to expand their franchises into mobile. I want some kind of MMO sub add-on to Game Pass, let me tinker w/ ESO w/ my WoW sub, thx.
