    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...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    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...

    We did a 3-day, and I crashed before the first night phase started but was able to get back in thankfully. Really like this mode, it needs to not be temporary, or make the 7-14 hour ones the temp ones with extra rewards.

    Feel like they're going to be pushing PSVR really hard this holiday. Not expecting much movement in the Pro's price and the One S / PS4 Slim already get really cheap.

    Nothing should be sharing an IP, they should all have their own unique, with the gateway being your original router that's providing the internet.

    I stopped at page 1 of the 2nd area because that's where my friends are at. Don't want to get too far ahead. Need to get in that routine of setting up the missions, collecting daily rewards, etc. Was hoping this would scratch the itch that Rocket League does, but missions take a bit longer...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Sounds like neighbor's router has the wrong IP, and since that's also the gateway on your stations they're looking at a device that isn't supplying them interwebs. If you can resolve that IP issue, change the IP on your router and update the gateways to point to it? I could be wrong.

    I don't really play competitively, so playing vs CPU I think Company of Heroes and Supreme Commander kinda ruined old games like this for me. I need the scale and the Starcraft games are just so claustrophobic.
