I think the tone is fine - from what I heard, people were just bitching on Discord, where it's going to make zero difference. Also, this is a Sony decision, not Arrowhead, they did not want this to happen by all accounts.

Not to mention that apparently in some countries, you can't even create a PSN account. So I guess those people are just fucked?

Dumb move, clearly the game works without it so why force it now?

I had no problem with Windows 10, but I wanted features like DirectStorage, so I switched to 11. The only thing I don't really like is the changes to the Start menu and right-click context menus, but other than that I haven't had many issues. I haven't noticed any ads anywhere, but I'm running...

I picked this up during the big sale on it, pretty good so far. Had some weird instances where it had some really bad hitching, but that seems to be mostly gone.

I've never TKed, but I do admit I will sometimes pick up a dead teammates weapon if it's one I haven't unlocked yet... I try to avoid doing that with Strategem weapons/items, but a primary, sure.

I bought both sets of coasters, they're really nice, super high quality and I use them all the time.

Yeah, for just media playback and streaming, something like the nVidia Shield Pro is going to be superior in terms of format support (Dolby Vision, etc.) versus an HTPC. I just went through the same thing. I still use an HTPC for some tasks but for streaming from Emby I now use the Shield...

If it were me I'd get something like an A310 or A380 for that purpose. Does AV1 encoding, low power, low profile (if needed). If it's just for media consumption I don't know why you would need something capable of more than 4K @ 60 Hz. EDIT - Also, if you need 4k 120 Hz I think you can get a...

I only have a few devices that are 2.5gb and they all get full bandwidth, so they're good enough for me.

I bought a few Keeplink 2.5gb switches, so far they work great. I'm using 10gb SFP between two of them, also works flawlessly. This one looks nice for the two SFP ports, the ones I got only have one each, but they were also cheaper (I think $65 apiece or so).

For me, the big one was back when I was working for a small IT company doing small/medium business stuff. We had a lot of clients with Unifi APs attached to a cloud key that we controlled, so we had several sites on the key for different clients. Most of these clients had like 1-4 APs, so not...

I don't think you have to have the EGS launcher installed to play the game, but it does require an EGS account for multiplayer, from what it sounds like, because it uses EGS servers.

My big issue with them is the planned obsolescence. I've never had a ton of issues actually using their products before, except when they decide to take away features you had previously to drive you towards new hardware.

I meant compared to EK AIOs, sorry - that's all I have experience with from them.

And AIOs by companies like Arctic being cheaper and arguably better.

I have an EK AIO that had a weird pump whine and after some use one of the fans died. It was still under warranty, after some verification they sent me a brand new unit and didn't even want the old one back. So my experience with them has been pretty positive. This was probably a year or so...

I've paid for Windows many times over already, the same versions in fact. If Microsoft wants to keep shoving ads and other annoying crap into the OS, they don't need my money to pay for the privilege. And honestly Linux has come a long way, if it were 100% compatible with all the games I play...

Yeah, after discovering this I'm never buying Windows keys anymore. I used to buy the cheap ones that would only work once, and fuck paying full price for Windows.

Logitech has been generally good, though I have had to replace switches on them because they developed a double-click issue. I've had the G700 (x2), G602 and G604. I liked the G700 best feel-wise, but those both had switch problems after a fair amount of use, and the battery life was...

Yeah I understand the distinction, and it's fair, I just think it's kind of silly to presume that a unit that processes graphics can't be called a GPU because it doesn't process "all" of the graphics? I dunno. It's not a serious issue to me, it's just sort of goofy.

It's admittedly pretty fun to just hop in a random game and shoot some stuff. I have noticed a non-trivial number of idiots/assholes though, which is a shame. But generally it's pretty good.

Honestly, I'd rather have a modern-graphics remake of BF 1942. Bad Company 2 was the last good BF game, IMO. I tried to like BF3 but the unlocks and other BS were too much.

I picked this up because why not, I've heard it's a lot better these days. First impressions not good. First, the game booted to a black screen with audio. Had to Google that apparently you need to disable VSync via an INI tweak to get this to stop. Did that, game starts up. I get in and...

Legend has it that you can download more RAM, if you know where to look...

Okay, so basically if you're playing with less than a full squad on higher difficulties, you're sort of just fucked.

Does the difficulty or number of enemies scale at all with player count? Because I did a difficulty 4 with 2 other randoms and we got obliterated. I don't think they were very good, but even then I was getting reamed in 1-2 hits by the enemies. It was also a civilian escort mission which, as far...

I bought it, it's pretty fun. Randoms seem okay so far, though I am mostly sticking to lower difficulties. I think I did a Hard once with randoms and it was a complete clusterfuck. Sucks that if you fail 20 minutes into a mission, you just get nothing.

I'm not concerned about burn-in, it's not as big of an issue with these newer panels and OLED care features, and I turn it off when I'm not using it (display standby/sleep stops working randomly on my computer for some reason). I hide the taskbar, hide desktop icons using Fences, dark...

Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (H3VR) HL: Alyx Into the Radius Moss Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners AB AETERNO - demo out, no release date yet Metro Awakening VR experience coming out sometime soon? I get you (and I know this post was from November) but there are some cool things out...

I'm still debating whether or not I want to pick this up for solo play or with randoms, I don't think I know anyone else who is playing this.

I mean it comes down to semantics, really. I would consider the Voodoo series to be gaming GPUs, they are a unit that processes graphics, and I used them for games.

Mass grave or keysites. I think most everyone who sold keys on here either left or got banned, not sure what happened.

That's fine, but it seems like I might as well just get an OLED for now. I actually did a ton of research before buying my current monitor, including looking at all of the major miniLED options. I'm willing to look at miniLED in the future (and honestly, if the tech improves to have per-pixel...

Problem is they still have bloom due to the dimming zones, and the input latency at lower framerates is pretty bad. Otherwise, yeah, I would have gone for one as they are cheaper as well.

Once I got an OLED TV, there was no going back to LCD. My IPS panel looked awful compared to it, in terms of black levels, IPS glow, etc. Ended up getting a AW2725DF.

An LCD at 20% is way different than an OLED at 20%. OLED is inherently less bright in SDR so you really gotta crank the brightness sometimes. I'm someone who runs my LCD monitors at like, 40-50% brightness, but OLED generally has to be at least 75-80% to look similar.

Yeah the SFPs and fiber cable are pretty cheap. No reason not to do it if your switches can support it.

I have a KTC OLED that was much cheaper, but the matte coating kinda sucks and less than a month later it developed a dead pixel right near the middle of the screen. Sending it back (within the Amazon return window) and ordered a AW2725DF instead. For the price (like 60% the cost of the AW)...
