This game has already had a remaster in 2015. I’d rather they remaster Gears 2, 3, or Judgement. Y’know, all the ones I can’t play without an Xbox.

You’re right- when it works Destiny 2 absolutely works. Plus there’s very little that fits the niche it’s in, honestly. PvE shooters with that kind of replayability aren’t incredibly common.

That was my biggest issue with it- the FOMO, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was. At least it doesn’t seem like it. Maybe they’ll still prove me wrong. I’ve only been playing again for a month or so.

But I stopped playing around Shadowkeep, and I got everything since (so I think four or five expansions) for like $35. Which is a solid value considering I mostly just wanted to play the campaigns, and do some funny builds.

Yeah. I actually gave it another go recently, and it’s not quite as horrible about nickle and diming you as it was.

What’s wrong with Funcom?

I thought Conan Exiles was decent. Not great, but fun enough. That’s my only exposure to Funcom afaik.

Usually with self-hosted survival crafting games like this there’s just an anti-cheat toggle somewhere. No reason to have anticheat running when you have a four person private server with your friends, after all.

Okay, so: is it because you reasonably expect that from your friend? Have they given you reason to expect these things? Or is it more just an anxiety thing? Like, you know it’s not a reasonable fear, but your brain still won’t let go?

If A: no, that’s not normal and he’s hella toxic. Especially the online anonymity thing- what the fuck?

If B: no, that’s not exactly normal but anxiety is a bitch sometimes.

Oh, that’s interesting. I am also using an R5 3600 lol.

Indoors, my performance is fine on medium it seems. It doesn’t change much from the 60fps I get on low. But outdoors it is rough. Even on low.

Edit: hah, either I did it and forgot- or the game defaulted- to a 60fps frame cap, which explains part of it. I actually get more like 70-80fps with occasional stutters when indoors. Also for sake of discussion, I’m on the Xbox Gamepass for PC version which, from prior experience, might be different in entirely random ways.

That’s extremely interesting.

I have an RX6600 and I’m barely getting 60fps indoors on low. Hm, maybe my CPU is the issue, but I’m well above the minimum requirements.

The difference is probably largely raytracing, though. I’d expect most of the cards that are struggling with the game to absolutely demolish it just by turning RT down.

which is 1.5x more powerful than a 5090

…are you sure? I think you’re mistaken.

They do, but they also might not.

The part of your skin that actually causes your fingerprint is relatively deep into your skin. So it’d need to be a pretty serious injury to permanently change your fingerprint at all.

I’d be shocked if it was your GPU causing long load times, that’s not usually the culprit for that kind of thing unless you don’t have enough VRAM. It’s probably another part of your system the game arbitrarily dislikes, or it’s just generally being shit.

I’ve never seen ‘drag race’ used in this context, and I was wondering how you were about to compare drag racing (like with cars) with wrestling.

Nah, at least this once it’s definitely not a US defaultism thing.

As an American, this is the first time I’ve thought about pro wrestling in a very very long time.

Why not? What definition of ‘athlete’ are you even using? Did you just decide this?

You don’t need to be wired in order to self host things? It’s better, ofc, but far from required. You can just do it via wifi.

My experience with self hosting begins and ends with video game servers and jellyfin, though, so maybe I’m wrong here.

Tbf, they’ve been doing that with a reasonable amount of success with Rainbow Six Siege.

yes. It’s a thing. https://mcsus.com/products/68-water-balls-tube-of-10 No clue if they’re good or not, but they exist.

There’s also paintballs with clear paint, or reballs which are basically just rubber balls meant to be fired out of a paintball gun.

Honestly, if we’re talking modern games I think games that don’t utilize multithreading to at least some degree would be a significantly shorter list.

I too despise the obsession with making videogames look like they were filmed for some inexplicable reason lol.
