I’m confused - what’s the deal with the portal mode? I saw the weapon numbers, and they were abysmally low for just 2042, but I also saw there were weapons from 1942, 3, 4, and so on? All together that’s not bad variety, but can you actually use them in normal gameplay or only on old maps, or what?

I tried all the DLSS options, and they all looked pretty rough. 

Tried the first of 10 free hours on GamePass, and my god the game both runs and looks like shit. DLSS maxed out, medium settings, and it’s still just damn near unplayable on top of being ugly. No matter what I did, it looked grainy, the render distance was bleh, and the soldiers looked like plastic toys. Coming from…

Oh wow, the timing. Me and some friends tried it out yesterday on Game Pass, and holy shit was the middle difficulty hard. We had to book it through levels, and it wasn’t really that fun. Way harder than the beta, which I guess was locked to easy. It kinda sucks cause I remember that feeling too easy, but maybe they…

Counterpoint: Far Cry’s still fun, and honestly doesn’t need much changing. Maybe some better writing. It’s the video game equivalent of comfort food, I’ve enjoyed every one to date (except 6, haven’t gotten my hands on it yet).

The word literally has been used in an exaggerated/figurative way since 1769. Mark Twain used it as such in the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, such as the line ‘Tom was literally rolling in wealth’. It’s not even close to a new phenomenon. It functions as casual hyperbole, mainly.

I didn’t even know Star Command was a thing

I hope you get in first in the queues!

I think it’s a positive experience, that’s funny lol

So, is it kinda like WoW, where PvP can pretty much happen anywhere? Cause remembering ESO, it also had three rival factions fighting for control of a region, and it was pretty chill. I think a large part of that had to do with faction-based PvP only being in Cyrodiil - otherwise everyone’s just questing and…

I remember that if you called a number that appeared in either Stranger Things season 2 or 3, it popped up a pre-recorded bit from that conspiracy theorist prepper Hopper and Joyce met up with, and it was either a teaser for season 3 or the upcoming season 4, I can’t really recall. Either way it was really neat

“I’m sorry if this is crazy pessimistic but I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.”

The original song’s catchy, but holy fuck I can’t stop listening to the Little V cover

Straight up don’t know what to use for our Tabletop sessions anymore to play music or ambiance. That and we can also just say goodbye to listen-alongs to OSTs :/ (Spotify doesn’t cut it btw, finding ambiance and a lot of specific soundtracks is hard, if not impossible there - sadly Spotify doesn’t have everything on…

Omg, I didn’t even recognize that was Linus in the thumbnail, I thought that was whoever Etienne was supposed to be lol. The wonders a beard’ll do for changing your appearance when you’ve been clean shaven for so long.

Hot take: the old Saint’s Row games aren’t really funny either. I enjoyed them back in the day, but I was also in middle school when 3 came out, so they were basically marketed and made for my demographic. Went back and played 3 with a friend, and I was disappointed by how much the nostalgia goggles lied to me. I…

Until they let me play all the content I paid for, I’m good. At this point I’m kind of just waiting until D2 dies, so that people will be more comfortable with the idea of modding content back in, and when Bungie’ll no longer be able to fuck with the game anymore.

These mini-series that flesh out the world are always bangers with surprisingly high production values. Haven’t been liking the games lately but these are keeping me interested in Pokémon news.
