    Fallout 76

    Bethesda says they've patched it. With their track record I'm skeptical (wondering if there is an easy work-around for the hackers or if the patch broke something else). Also, with their terrible track record of actually helping players that suffer from bugs and hacks I wonder if a rollback for...

    Fallout 76

    That was proven to be fake. However, many 5 star items were "created" in game along with various other exploits. Most were able to be removed in the last patch. Although the last patch made it so when you reload your weapon your armor breaks...

    Rise of Skywalker

    Some of this latest preview had me starting to think about how cool it could look in Imax (like the corvette flying low)... And then I saw them riding horses. Horses, really? That's all I could think about for the rest of the preview. WTF? o_O

    Do you vertical mount?

    I did a vertical mount in my Fractal R6: Standard and vertical mount with full Disco mode: Temps up 2°-3°C while gaming on the card.

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

    Seattle is ethnically diverse so the game should reflect that as a feature of the setting. But it should be a natural inclusion not a forced inclusion. And having additional cultural history for the vampire mythos could be very entertaining if done well.

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

    I call B.S. There is never that much parking at King Street Station. And while an alpha build, that combat is rough and jumpy. It needs work, especially considering vampire vs. humans

    Fallout 76

    Server stability after the patch was definitely a step backwards. They did a server hotfix on the 9th that helped. The crash from pip-boy menu is back though.

    Instead of disabling all comments couldn't they disable posting of timestamps and outside links in comments and adding some words to the language filters?

    Fallout 76

    For myself and the people that I talked to the things we want the most on this list are the legendary vendor, the ability to prestige, the backpack for non-power armor players, high level raids, new quests, and factions. Legendary Vendor - May 23 - That's 3 months away. How much will the player...

    The Army's Next-Generation Rifle Will Be "The iPhone of Lethality," Officials Say

    Like people's preference for firearms differs so do our experiences, Icpiper. In Iraq sometimes we pushed into neighborhoods and buildings, other times we backed off a bit and hit it with a JDAM. Also, we are, by and large, a mounted force where getting in and out of vehicles multiple times in...

    The Army's Next-Generation Rifle Will Be "The iPhone of Lethality," Officials Say

    +1 There have been many "smart weapon" initiatives in the past but funding and surviving battlefield conditions puts a stop to most of it. When you're in the mud, sand, snow, water, heat, or cold your personal weapon must simply work. In a fight you need to know your weapon will work and in a...

    Fallout 76

    The patch was a definite rollback reintroducing a few old bugs. The stuck in "Caution" bug is back from FO4. This is when you can't get back to hidden status and you stay in red Caution. It took me a few hours and loading into an empty instanced bunker twice to clear it, server hopping didn't...

    Californian Cops Outfit Tesla Model S as Future-Friendly Police Cruiser

    I would be curious as to the impact of all the ancillary equipment on battery charge ~ computer, radios, lights, along with the vehicle's climate control running full-tilt in the Freemont sun.

    Amazon Enters the Ground Delivery Robot Market

    My thoughts also. They could text the ordering user's phone to meet the robot curbside. I can just imagine what would happen when these try rolling past a homeless camp or can't navigate around a street seller with their wares laid out on a blanket. They could pair it with one of those Boston...

    Fallout 76

    I feel like that is a consistent problem with open world type games, especially MMO's where content is held back for future release. Once you've done the boss fight quest the only thing left is the grind for gear. In games with true replayability there are different ways to complete the game's...

    Netflix Hit with Choose Your Own Adventure Lawsuit over Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

    Facial Tissue? Kleenex is a trademark that took over common language. Just like "Google it" became a verb, we have thermos instead of vacuum flask, Band-Aid instead of adhesive bandage, q-tip instead of cotton swab, super glue, Velcro, hundreds of medications...

    Fallout 76

    This patch is worse for me regarding stability. More hard-locks while in game. I get roughly the same number of "Server not Responding" pop-ups. Instead of the infinite loading screen I will get delayed texture loading and/or rubber banding when entering the world sometimes. Also when crafting...

    Harley Davidson Reveals the Pricing and Specs of Its "Livewire" Electric Motorcycles

    Most bikes in that weight class (or price bracket) aren't bought for economy, they are bought for freedom, lifestyle, or just as a toy. A charge time any longer than a normal fuel up, grabbing a snack and a piss, and stretching your legs (i.e. 15-30 minutes) wipes out the freedom category if all...

    Fallout 76

    I got the brick wall plans off of Grahm the wandering super mutant merchant a couple days ago. For stash I never sell or drop screws or lead (I can't get enough). Steel, rubber, cork, plastic, adhesive, and wood I keep at 10 or less bulk stacks, most others I keep at 15. You can get 10-20...

    Nvidia Executives Allegedly Sold Shares During Crypto Boom

    No, just general trend and attitude towards the company. In the end I know business practices are trumped by the dollar and estimated corporate earnings. edit: and I was a bit strong with the DOA comment. I may have had too much coffee this morning. I was just giving in to the hype of the...

    Nvidia Executives Allegedly Sold Shares During Crypto Boom

    Executives get stock options as part of their compensation package. They buy and sell shares regularly. I recently saw a YouTube video of a guy claiming EA, Activision and other gaming execs are dumping stock because of recent game performance. But he neglected to look at previous data showing...

    Fallout 76

    From what I've read you stay wanted for about 2 hours of real-time actual in-game time. Server hopping does not remove this. I do wonder if the "Block for Session" command will hide you on the map when you're wanted, I haven't found anything concrete yet. I've been wanted twice, once on...

    Fallout 76

    General impressions as a player leveled into the mid 20's: I thought I would miss VATS. I don’t, gunplay feels more responsive than previous games. At the same time most combat is initiated by a sneak attack for extra damage and then mag-dump after mag-dump as I backpedal and occasionally use...

    Capcom Is Plastering In-Game Ads on Its Street Fighter V Characters

    What does the player get for viewing these ads? Is there any incentive to keep them enabled? (Stuff like in-game currency, faster leveling, discounts on things?) If not then then why would you add more clutter to your game?

    Heavily Overclocked RTX 2080 Ti Averages 51 FPS in 3DMark Raytracing Benchmark

    It will be nice once ray tracing is not literally the "shiny new thing" where every developer feels like they must use reflective surfaces on everything to show that it is there. I would prefer ray tracing be used for accurate lighting and some reflections. As to the FPS achieved in the...

    Bethesda to Issue Replacement Canvas Bags for the Fallout 76: Power Armor Edition

    I actually want these companies to succeed - just not with the business practices they have been using recently.

    NVIDIA Gives the Bird to All RTX Early Adopters

    Similar to news of Fallout 76 going to $40 for black Friday. All the pre-order and release day folks for games and hardware get the shaft when sales numbers don't meet expectations - especially with a rocky product launch.

    Activision-Blizzard Stock is Tumbling

    I have a feeling that when investors start to see returns coming in from the Activision/Blizzard mobile games they will jump back in with both feet. If the Blizzcon announcement of a mobile game had been made to shareholders and focused on the earning potential of mobile games, rather than to a...

    Samsung Announces Infinity Flex Displays for Foldable Smartphones

    I wouldn't mind if the evolution of this technology is a borderless morphing display (wall mount or monitor) that can adjust its physical size to the aspect ratio of the content. No more stretching or black bars!
