37 year old dad here. I work do IT support for a local church and private school in central ohio and my wife works at a local hospital and we’ve been trying to stagger our work schedules to juggle having someone home with the kids.  All of our kids are out of school and have been since last friday. They were sent home…

so it’s basically doing the same thing they did to get these ray tracing  demos up and running on RTX card just using a different API, cool.  This article may as well say, “the series x is working as intended”

for me, the headline is “microsoft’s api takes code designed for a specific GPU and makes it platform agnostic”

Yep, it’d be like recommending someone watch mr robot for the first time right now.  You’d be in a pretty dark place

RDR2 is an amazing game and it’s long as shit but

*spoiler below*

yep, that’s pretty much my only problem on PC other than the game taking a while to startup. i installed it there via game pass after i had performance issues on xbox. I found this on the steam community where it seems to be a known issue they’re working on. haven’t tried installing it to my ssd yet but maybe i’ll do…

bugs and performance issues aside i’ve been enjoying the game but i also loved the hell out of the first one, one decision i don’t like is the shard system where you’re picking certain perks instead of just unlocking and equipping things that make you always progressively more powerful. I just can’t figure out why…

the first game had a superb way of changing the difficulties beyond just “enemies have more health and you do less damage” that even made the death run sequences like escaping from the dungeon like a 1 min super meat boy sequence harder or easier by adding checkpoints on lower levels but on hard mode, do it all in one…

i’ve been following the stuff leading up to this on the CnC subreddit. They really seem to have the right intentions of making this a really great version of 2 classic RTS games and the fact that they’ve allowed projects like openRA to remain while they put this together i think speaks volumes about their confidence…

yeah sorry i’m going with easy mode so i can play through the game and i’ll hit higher difficulties once i’m good at the game and actually want the additional challenge. i never finished the first ori until late last year because i started it on too high a difficulty and got frustrated and quit, now i’ve played…

i fully believe there’s love languages that people respond to, my wife (quality time/acts of service) and i (words of affirmation/physical touch) went to a pre-marriage counseling session which is the first place we had ever heard of the 5 love languages and we both know each others and our kids. It sounds cheesy as…

thank fucking god for this. I bought breakpoint for my ps4 deeply discounted because i really enjoyed wildlands despite its problems and i had to see what was so bad about breakpoint.  i soon found out.  the whole loot and gear score system was a fucking bummer from the start and every trapping of them trying to make…

modern warfare?

yeah but none of the last of us works if you don’t allow to sink in how bad joel losing his daughter was for him. it’s his defining character trait, it’s why he is who he is and why he does what he does when it comes to ellie. It’s not an entirely new story, but it’s an interesting one at the very least but that’s…

diablo 3 was also better on consoles because of the ability to play offline and that’s the first place they had a loot table with drop rates that weren’t related to the RMAA. (look it up).  But yeah, i love diablo 3 on console. PC is fine now too but it just feels better on console.

i’ve had my xbox in the preview program for so long that i actually forgot what the old dashboard looked like.  new dash is much quicker to navigate but i mainly turn on my xbox to play games and lists and tiles seem to populate pretty quickly on the newer dash. 

i actually found the clip!

I mean they’re all scripted behaviors but it was something that I just noticed while exploring the map, not in a mission or anything structured but it was so cool to see it fly off with a fish in their talons 

Graphics Interchange Format, hard G on graphics, that’s my logic. i don’t care if someone says jif but they also have to forgive anyone who things they’re might also be talking about peanut butter.  Hard-G is less confusing in speech.

see george lucas and the prequel trilogy.
