    Taking the DualSense apart is really easy. It's about the only thing Sony got right compared to the Xbox controller, which is an absolute pain in the ass to get apart without marring the seams.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/avoid-mods.html There's a mini-guide to mostly replace it with mods that actually still work right below that though.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    The first section of VNV and the performance guide linked at the end are pretty much all bugfixes, which I'd say is required on a modern PC. I'd also do the UI part of the 'extended' VNV as well, since Vanilla UI Plus is way better than the default. Everything after that is optional, but the...

    VNV is definitely the one to use. It takes a while to setup though, there's like 100+ mods in total if you do the whole thing.

    Yeah, I still remember the disappointment when the people who tried to redo 1 & 2 in the Tactics engine had to give up because it just wasn't possible.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    Luna will prevent you from using any mods, so it's much better to spend the $5 while it's on sale and get it on Steam. Even if you don't want to dive into the deep end of modding, the unofficial bug fix pack (currently called Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP) is an absolute must-have. I'd go...

    Playstation 5

    I went with a new DualSense and eXtremeRate RISE4 metal button kit a couple years ago. Still the best option imo, if you don't mind taking the controller apart and doing some simple modifications. Less simple if you absolutely must have the ability to map L3/R3 or the touchpad press to a back...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I can live with the Unmoored World as a Everfall replacement... it was the lack of a Soulflayer Canyon in the middle of the game that really disappointed me.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Eh, the MA maister ability is strong but it's also completely useless if resting is inconvenient/impossible. There's plenty of other ways to do similar damage without the massive downside.

    So someone at the company had a grievance and decided that the best course of action was to leak every bit of internal info they could get their hands on? Yeah, that sounds like exactly what I'd expect to happen at a company that prioritized DEI above all else. Funny that Austin Walker...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    I believe that's what happened with Courtney Hope's face in Control back in 2019. Remedy tried to make her look good, just as they did with her character in Quantum Break. And Jesse Faden actually did look good in everything besides the in-engine gameplay. In 2024 though, when you're...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    If Alone in the Dark (2024) can afford David Harbour and Jodie Comer's faces, a Star Wars game with a vastly higher budget certainly could afford to scan a relatively unknown actress like Humberly Gonzalez. The character is ugly because that's what western studios (especially ones that hire...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    I just want to know why they turned the voice/mocap actress into while Cal Kestis looks almost exactly like Cameron Monaghan in the EA games. It certainly isn't because Ubi doesn't have access to the same body/face scan studios. I will definitely have a good laugh if the woke mob realizes...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Female protagonist doesn't bother me at all as long as the game itself is good--which is could easily have been if Massive had developed it without outside interference--but it's yet another case of a western studio taking an attractive model and uglying her up for the woke audience (complete...

    Third option, spend time learning how DNS works so you can add a pi-hole to your network and be able to administrate it without having to google every little thing you need done, instead of just pissing in the wind. It's really not that complicated, and there's generally only two major problems...

    Pretty terrible by comparison on both counts, and most you can't even buy without a business account. You can also forget about stuff like Dolby Vision, because that license gets axed along with the smart OS.

    Unicorn Overlord is $40 on Amazon now. Switch version looks like it's close to selling out since the delivery date is a week+ out. Xbox/PS5 ship immediately still. I'd highly recommend the Switch version. I tried the demo on Series X too and there's barely any difference. Even the load...

    Not sure if they all do this but one of my TVs is still a Roku and I have it set to switch to HDMI3 (the eARC one) as soon as it's turned on. I never see the Roku UI unless I press the Home button on the remote, it just goes straight to whatever device powered up the receiver with CEC. I don't...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    You can also just wait 7 days and it'll undo itself. That's what I've read anyway, since I haven't actually had it myself. Dragonsplague is super easy to avoid once you know what to look for, doubly so if you revert your savegame every time you get the popup after hiring a pawn. The popup...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    If your arisen and pawn are both female (or you just don't mind looking like a degen), the best use of sphinx dupe is the corset from collecting medals. Upgraded with dwarven+dragon crafting it's the best armor for all but maybe 3 vocations. Portcrystals are practically useless in the long...

    Playstation 5

    They X'ed out everything that had a PS4 version, which is a bit disingenuous. I could see crossing out all the VR trash, but not stuff like Horizon 2, GoW 2, and GT7. All three were big disappointments imo, but they're still PS5 exclusives.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Definitely the latter. There's almost no reason to ever use any other vocation once you have warfarer unlocked, aside from ranking them up so that you can actually use the skills and augs.

    Dolby Vision requires a chipset, but there's often bugs and issues with supporting new hardware. Biggest one being that many TVs with Dolby Vision didn't support Xbox's "unique" implementation of it, especially in games. Take away all the firmware updates from those TVs and you'll lose out on...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    That's why I mentioned Returnal too. Sony didn't buy Housemarque until after Returnal's release, but the game still stayed PS5 exclusive for just under 2 years. ------------------------------ No surprises here, it should be instantly obvious to anyone playing the game that balanced is by...

    Problem is, the Roku software isn't separated from the TV firmware. So by rolling back you could lose some pretty important fixes and end up with stuff like broken Dolby Vision support or other key features missing, depending on the brand/model of TV. Best thing to do is get a pi-hole and...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Has any Sony published game gone from PS to PC in less than a year? AFAIK the trend is still generally a two year wait, give or take a month or two. Even third party studio games (Returnal, et al.) follow the pattern.

    Logistician is complete garbage and will ensure the vast majority of the people hiring pawns skip over yours immediately. If it just balanced the load it would be a must-have, but they added on the retarded shit where the pawn wastes materials on useless consumables. Can't you just get another...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    That had nothing to do with it being a dress though. The aura on it was just bugged and would aggro anything in its AOE; that's what they fixed in the patch. Eve's skin suit was intentionally designed to be a hard mode since it has no shield.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I mostly just use the combo on drakes since it ensures that the drake dies so fast that it never gets a chance to grab my pawn. Plus drake fights really start to drag when it gets low and begins chain casting meteoron while hovering out of reach. I try to remember to swap my pawn from halidom...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The only thing that really bugs me about the movement (having been replaying Dark Arisen just prior to release) is there's too much momentum. Also, the overlapping controls for starting to climb an enemy vs. just trying to push its leg to topple it can be annoying. It's like the engine guesses...
