    Project Hail Mary

    The worst part about the interview was him going " suchandsuch class of 1990" Dammit I graduated in 1989 and he looks way older than I do, I think, gray hair adding to that: I would have thought he was 10 years older than his derived age. Andy Weir is a true science nerd/Computer science guy...

    Queue is slower to get in but performance at least for me in Midtown Madness with a 20ish character is good. I also made an account on COA as well for when that kicks off.

    I fired this up the other day and got about 5 min in, was still calibrating my monitor and dropped out when the review I was watching started bitching about the controls. OMG. I saw Ut had 48 hours played already THEN, like 49 hours since launch or something. Will revisit once Marvel Heroes...

    It's really a shame someone can't buy this from the smoking remains of Gaz's creditors and get a license from Marvel and get this back into retail. I imagine the rights and purchases etc would be too complicated to resurrect at this point but one can dream a bigger dream. I will enjoy the...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    It's better but still frustratingly laggy. Powers that didn't previously have cooldown now have a cooldown, I don't know if that's to take a load off the server or if it just didn't work before. Now I remember why I didn't play so much/cosmic Nova, all the freaking cooldowns; in a normal...

    I haven't seen anything on that, its a super interesting question. I waited through a queue of 1700 to get on at 15:00 CDT. They just did a server restart. Still not back up as of 22:30 GMT/17:30 CDT. Edit: It's back! 22:45 GMT/17:45 CDT

    wow, just getting back on after eating with family, login queue of 700. It's a success, to say the least. Edit: Ryolnir in chat now. wtf is Brevik going to pop in and announce a return to retail?

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Game is fine, play what you want, its a bonus to do Cyclops first but as far as I know and have read, this is as much as we are ever going to get, dev wise, so why does it matter if you go a tiny bit faster? Enjoy yourself. All roads lead to the same destination.

    Sooooo many Cyclops. I bought him but I went Nova instead because after playing Hulk in the stress test I wanted to do a ranged.

    Tainted Grail one of my favorite games; Fuck IGN's 6. I bought this already because I had a busy few weeks and have a few people I know who are going in at launch. I should have/could have waited, it turns out; I thought I was going to have a week off but timing got screwed up; I was actually...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    +++THIS. The whole world is broken and garbage based upon the narrative choices they made leading up to NG+. The Starfield world doesn't advance past that point in history. Way to go, Todd. You spent 10 years and sold your company only to end up with a stupid game full of gay and woke BS...

    Weekend Stress Test was just over. I forgot until Sat night and then played a Melee hero (Hulk). It was fun but slow. My wife was out of time and I couldn't play much, so only got to level 40. Meanwhile, the last 30 min a guy came in and said, just buy boosters you can level to 60 in like...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Microsoft has decided that milking their customers rather than offering value is the path to success. Maybe so but when you let the mask slip and show the pure skull beneath, why should anyone treat you other than the absolute Leviathan that you are? Break up and make them compete as smaller...

    So I finally finished the game tonight at Level 75, completed the so called secret ending as a mage, what an incredible game. I don't have any compunction about just stopping a game if I am not having fun, but I played this one all the way through and then some. I, too, was worried about the...

    And holy shit I love Yahya Abdul-Mateen II but much like Aaron Pierre, he can't seem to get cast in any good projects or that there aren't any good projects being made these days. I read Watchmen comic as soon as it was collected in GN form and it was mind blowing for the time. Zack Snyder's...

    What I posted on the X dot com about it: I really like both actors and True Detective S1 but trailer was terrible. It just reeks of the same 2020's Bad Robot Lovecraft Country/Watchmen vibes and all the racial stereotypes of that era, small town whites bad/over the hill white hero/up and...

    So at those rates, effectively it's 5 hours per hero, or 305ish+ hours to fill out the roster. (you start with 1 hero, and they seem like they will give you ES to buy a 2nd at the end of tutorial, and at 8 every 6 min is 80 an hour , 61 heroes is 24400s ES. 305 hours @80 an hour. That isn't...

    I played through the Tutorial, it was again fun. I couldn't get sound or 4k resolution to work, hopefully those things will be fixed in 1.0 I need to go to their Discord and look for solutions. It was a long day at work and I feel terrible, so I will work to make the dead game fully work...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    That's a really good buy with these prices, and really even without. If rationality returns, assuming there's a 2nd NVME slot you can add another drive. Also, I personally would get a cheap key and upcovert that Win 11 Home to Pro, only because I know Home is limited but I can't remember how...

    Did you export your bookmarks to an HTML file? Your tabs should have been included your bookmarks, if you just import them via the exported HTML file. Otherwise sign in and see what was saved to your account and if there are any that aren't there. If you're syncing, it should all be saved to...

    Some thoughts: -A shame we didn't get the symbol files and get on Discord and look at the memory dumps when you were having these blue screens. Now its seems pretty obvious that its memory controller, which is in the CPU in Intel 12th gen. -For my 2 cents, it would definitely be worth the...

    when I first started reading real Sci Fi as a kid 8-10 in the late 70s early 80s had such a vast array of classic and more modern takes, Bradberry, Asimov, etc, the late 40s/50s-60s was so great, pioneers and giants, and then Star Wars blew the doors off everything and folks rushed to...

    It's their own fault; demanding 30% return from the XBOX division, selling out the hardware, giving no one a reason to own an Xbox console, "everything's an Xbox"; from a great launch in 2003/4 to today, pure shortsighted corporate greed.
