    What vehicle do you drive?

    I would just bite the bullet and go with their nonsense financing. Make sure there's no prepayment penalty and just pay the loan off immediately. You'll get a lower price since the dealer thinks they'll make money on the backend and you are still paying cash, just a few weeks later and to the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Have you ever been in a Maserati? Anyone that buys 1 is an idiot, they are objectively worse than BMW or Benz in every way. Build quality, material quality, reliability, tech, you name it, it's worse than the German luxury cars. You're paying for a name and exclusivity, but you are getting a...

    Playstation 5

    I'm in the same boat, had a ps5 since like a week after release and like 3 total hours played. Honestly, I should have known better since I basically did the same thing with ps4; got it like 2 weeks after release, maybe 10 total hours played.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I'm not saying there's necessarily anything wrong with Nexen, but tires are the single greatest factor in the performance of your car. I'll never understand someone with anything remotely resembling a performance car running random Chinese tires. Sure, toss those on your Rav4 or whatever, but a...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    I'll just chime in and say that I enjoyed World (not as much as some here, probably 50-60 hours) and thought Rise was terrible (probably less than an hour). I just installed Now on my phone and it's giving me the itch to fire up World again, though

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm not sure what it is with this game but I can't get into it. I loved DoS, liked DoS 2 (not as much as the first). I can recognize that BG3 is a good game, but I just can't get into it. I think the whole resting mechanic bothers me because it essentially gives me fomo. Basically since the...

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

    It's a bad fight because every attack is designed to 1 shot. You have to learn how to dodge all the attacks with horrible hit boxes and just learn where is actually safe because the animations are so bad

    Blue Beetle (2023)

    This is streaming on HBO now so I decided to watch it. Boring and full of tropes. Shazam was actually pretty decent and it was obvious they tried to latch on to that sort of comedic vibe, but the jokes fell flat. Honestly, I only knew of Blue Beetle from the Injustice games (not a huge comic...

    NHL 2023-2024 Season - Arizona Stays Homeless

    I have serious concerns for the future of the Caps. Obviously the team is just dragging a hollowed out husk of a team trying to get Ovi the record (and with the way they're playing now this is the first time I've thought he might not actually get there), but what happens after? I think it'll...

    Mortal Kombat 1

    I think it's just because Liu Kang reset the timeline. Now, in theory, that should mean the story resets to the original game and only those characters are around, but they obviously didn't do that. Temporal paradox situation, I suppose. The world isn't what it was after Liu Kang did whatever he did

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Hard disagree with this. The only potential deal breaking problem on the Ally is the SD card issue, but I load everything to the nvme drive for better load times anyway so I'm unaffected. I have the top model Steam Deck and the Ally, I can't imagine ever using the Deck again. The screen/vrr on...

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

    Tried out a nmd, was doing 70 with difficulty or mid 60s easily before. I did a 60 and almost got 1 shot several times, but I was able to beat it. 80% of the enemies were invisible though, just saw whatever weapons or shields they had equipped floating in mid air. Kind of reminded me of EQ...

    Diablo Immortal

    No I will not play DI again even though a few months ago I was very interested in trying out the blood knight. Yes I spent well over $100 on it. Beyond the patch just totally breaking the end game unless you whale out, I also didn't like all the timed activities in DI. There were too many "I...

    Diablo Immortal

    I'm almost loathe to admit this, but I was playing DI right up until D4 launched. The social hooks of the game are pretty good. I can give a pretty decent rundown of the game as a low (by DI standards) spender. They "fixed" a lot of the issues people have brought up in this thread. The raids no...

    Diablo Immortal

    I think Immortal actually has a better end game than D4; if it wasn't for the predatory monetization scheme I think it would've been a good game (once you get to the end game you basically serve as algae to be fed on by the whales that have spent tens of thousands on the game). They did a much...

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

    I think the issue is that vulnerability is too important; builds are entirely focused solely on vulnerability and those that can't reliably apply it are dead in the water no matter what else they do

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

    I have no idea to be honest. I don't remember clicking anything that said high res pack when installing. Obviously the test is over, is there some way for me to check what's installed?

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

    Question for others that tried the stress test. I had g-sync on so I was running 144 hz and getting 144 fps at max settings at 3440x1440, but every couple of min the game would drop to 1 fps for like 2-3 seconds. It happened in the open beta as well, which I attributed to them maybe running some...

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

    Everyone is saying Rogue scaling sucks but the key to beating Ashava was literally just having a Rogue spamming whatever makes him vulnerable. Heck Rogues can solo the guy, but literally the difference between a full 12 man winning with like 8-9 minutes left and losing or barely eeking out a win...

    Maybe someone can help me out with this. I have some random Dell SFF pc that I use in my office. It works fine for about a week at a time, until at some point it downloads a windows update. After downloading whatever this update is, the pc will reboot and then say there is no hard drive...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    As the owner of a very expensive electric car (Taycan Turbo), I don't see how you can justify that price. It costs almost nothing to make an electric motor compared to an ICE engine. KIA can make their ev6 550 hp or whatever it is for $60k. Porsche or whoever else can amp that price up with...

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

    The entire open world is sparsely populated like that, unless you're doing an event. Dungeons are much more densely packed. In the open world you can easily go 5 seconds without seeing a single enemy, fight a small pack of 5ish mobs, then go another 5 seconds before seeing something again ad nauseum

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

    The combat is very unsatisfying, nothing feels substantial at all. The graphics are also really bad, as is the animation (I would hope this is just due to being a beta). D3 was pretty cartoony in it's graphic presentation, but it looked pretty good even if the color palette etc was "wrong" for...

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    Caps are obviously just playing for Ovi's goal record rather than to win. The PP was broken last year and nothing has been done to address it, it's far too predictable that they're just setting up Ovi to take shots from his spot

    There's a whale on my server that got caught in this illegitimate orb deal; Blizz basically half assed the ban/restrictions. They can still play bgs, they just can't group in them. That means they can continue to absolutely smoke other people in bgs with their enormous stat advantage for another...

    I think I pretty much accomplished everything I can as F2P (and no, no battle pass or anything). Paragon 170, 4340 CR, 605 resonance (and I don't legitimately see a way to increase this at any reasonable pace anymore unless I get a lucky drop with an eternal crest that I can sell for 100-200k...

    I'm up to 2246 CR. Started doing some pvp recently, have been MVP a few times. Best game was 19-0 k:d. There are games where I run into a whale who can be afk for 5 seconds with me wailing on them and their hp drops maybe 10-20% and they then turn around and 1 or 2 shot me pretty much instantly...

    I'm still enjoying the game but yeah, if they don't release a content patch this month I think the game is dead in the water. They can't go their usual 6-12 month content cycle and expect this game to last

    Diablo Immortal

    I've done the relic thing plenty of times, probably 200+ turn ins. Never got a legendary from that, just salvage fodder. Gambling at the merchant has been useless as well, 10 primary armor and 10 weapon a day for like 15 days now and no legendaries from that either. RNG is a bitch I guess. Up to...

    This was good advice, I had no idea rift 30 changed the loot. I had been in the 1120-1160 range from like p20 to p50, now in 1 day after finishing rift 30 I'm at 1300

    Diablo Immortal

    I put way more time into this than I should have, I actually liked the core game play. The monetization is predatory as hell, but I just played without a care in the world for being competitive or even trying battlegrounds, so it was ok. I do think I hit a wall, though; my CR is only like 1160...
