    Borderlands 3

    How do you actually fast travel in this game? It showed me the fast travel tutorial (which incidentally was broken, said press R to go to orbit view which did nothing, pressing the correct key X also did nothing), but I seem unable to actually use it. Fast travel aside, the entire UI is awful.

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

    Who knew they could come up with a name as dumb and as confusing as Xbox One, its almost like someone over there is intentionally sabotaging them.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    Oddly the episode is out already for me. The watch bit made me laugh.

    Control

    I've been playing this a lot recently, I think the game probably does atmosphere better than any other. My only real complaints are combat related: Aside from throwing random objects powers are hard to use: attempting to grab rockets or grenades often results in grabbing some random item...

    DOTA 2

    Yea, aside from the occasional lotus or linkens play by the carry I can't imagine it really happening outside of stalemate games. We should get to see some clowny shit in a stalemate where one side can't quite break the base.

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    A few reviewers are saying the game is a bit buggy, so may be worth waiting for them to patch it a time or two

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Paying streamers has been a common tactic for years now. I think the explosive growth was more that people witnessed (and maybe missed) the pubg & fortnite exploding and didn't want to miss the next one. The same thing happened after the Harlem Shake viral meme, all the press tried to hop on a...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    They also let NFS Heat drop recently with barely any marketing push. EA feels like they are in a really strange position these days.

    Death Stranding

    As soon as they started showing gameplay footage at Sony's events I began losing interest, the translated Tokyo Game Show footage pretty much killed it. Watching the Giant Bomb coverage today pretty much confirms my decision, particularly the point where he said he's only spoken to one person...

    The Outer Worlds

    The FPS on my PC would drop to zero at unfortunate times, I havea 2070 Super so I chalked it up to my old 3570k CPU. As I was using a GamePass trial I decided to try it on my Xbox One X but its just as bad on the console. To me the perf is bad enough that I'm just going to wait.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'm not entirely sure I buy the DDoS explanation, it doesn't feel like what I've experienced in the past where services are DDoS'd. I'd expect increasing lag / packetloss but instead everything is perfectly fine then boom disconnected.

    DOTA 2

    It makes perfect sense to bring TI to other parts of the globe to give more people the opportunity to attend or just have it in a reasonable timezone for them.

    DOTA 2

    I found it odd people liked the void + tinker combo, they both have this long slow period. Would have been nice to see them play a faster style.

    DOTA 2

    I dunno sometimes they like to include the qualifier games which is obviously stupid. He's actually 5-2 on the main stage after yesterday so 71% win rate, the only losses were actually to Secret's Meepo draft and the Bristle draft. Meepo seems to generally be a good counter to both Alch &...

    DOTA 2

    61% - The International 2019 - Picks and Bans Also remember that this is not weighted for team winrate, if you look through the list of games there are very few instances of him losing between equally matched teams.

    DOTA 2

    I don't understand why teams are choosing to ban Enchantress over Alchemist. Enchantress is really strong, but she also doesn't just individually win the game in 20 minutes.

    Capitalist comes off as such a pompous ass with his introduction monologues and his proselytizing during games.

    DOTA 2

    I'm pretty sure there was something about Kuro'ky being at Puppey's wedding post-Secret so it seems unlikely. I think I've posted something here before but for me it always feels like EG makes games too hard on themselves with their drafts. Always feels like they have to play themselves back...

    DOTA 2

    IMO the issue in game 3 was that their lineup didn't really have a good way to go high ground. None of the cores wanted to go up and hit the towers when the enemy team is alive.

    When I was looking a couple weeks back, the non-super dropped down to the mid price between the new Supers. If that is still the case IMO none of them are worth purchasing. Power aside the 2080 Super is generally priced too high for the performance.

    Desktop Computers

    All the benchmarks I saw placed a 2080 at maybe 5% faster than a 2070 Super so given the price differential was still quite large I bought a 2070 Super a few weeks ago. No complaints with performance at 2560x1440. I also never had issues with AMD drivers, in fact I would say their software is a...

    I feel badly for VP wtf happened to that team

    DOTA 2

    Its weird to me how quickly VP went from the best team in the world at the start of the season to lower-mid at TI. NIP is another surprise, I didn't expect them near the top but I also didn't figure they'd be facing elimination in the group stage.

    DOTA 2

    Yea when I was watching that game it was basically perfect bash timing. If you watch more of the tape IMO Arteezy shouldn't have gone in originally after Sumail got deleted.

    If anyone is curious, I figured out the thunderbolt discrete GPU out. If the ASRock x570 ITX and their thunderbolt add-in card are indicators you need a displayport in and the system passes the signal through. I imagine this must add some latency so wouldn't be great for a primary monitor while...

    Its looking that way, but prior to the event starting I'm not sure I would have predicted it.

    DOTA 2

    Oh strange, I was searching for it but couldn't figure it out. I dunno, at this point it doesn't even look like they have a plan in their drafts. First day I guess but they really needed to beat these mid-tier teams if they wanted to start in the winners bracket.

    Basically I have an Apple Thunderbolt monitor sitting in the basement (that I can't sell) I'd like to use as a secondary monitor. My current desktop system is old and I was trying to figure out whether it was worth trying to get an x570 motherboard with a thunderbolt port when I upgrade it. As...

    Does anyone know whether an nvidia GPU could output video over a thunderbolt port on your motherboard? Unfortunately my google-fu is failing me due to a million trash articles about external GPUs over thunderbolt.

    The Orville

    I picked the show up recently after hearing it positively compared to Trek recently. I'd watched the first episode a couple years ago but it didn't hook me at the time. Overall it does remind me of TNG but unfortunately TNG as it was 25-years ago. Unfortunately its still largely a random grab...

    Yea no double-ups. I imagine unless they have a DC-like run at TI the drop the name immediately after TI.
