    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    You're missing the point. You don't have to specifically google it. They have such a complete data profile on you that they know which dishwasher you have in your house, how often you run it, what the typical lifespan is, and when you'll be looking to replace it. And it's like this for...

    This is like all the normies that think their phone is listening to their conversations while it's in their pocket. OH MY GOD IT HEARD ME TALKING ABOUT NEEDING A NEW DISH WASHER AND NOW I KEEP GETTING DISHWASHER ADS. It's not true, never has been. The actual answer is Google knows so much...

    Hytale

    It's a scale that's sometimes even hard to really grok. And it seems to be sticking around through the generations and every child grows up playing it so I don't really see it going anywhere. If Hytale can grab even 1% of that base they'll be rich.

    Minecraft is closing in on 400 MILLION lifetime sales. This game is basically Minecraft 2, made by the largest player in the existing Minecraft hosting/custom/mod space and has been floating around in development for like 10 years now. The available pool of players for this game is in another...

    Arc Raiders

    I play pretty sweaty PVP and the game was nearly unplayable in my lobbies for the last 5 days or so. Every single lobby is people with an inventory full of trigger grenades just spamming them like rocket launchers, so them getting changed means I can probably actually play again. No mentioned...

    No it's not. Monsters and Memories is basically a hobbyist/fan project. The Hypixel dudes are a billion dollar business that serves the largest segment of gaming to ever exist in history (Minecraft). They operate at a scale and with a fanbase that means they don't need Steam, and even if you...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    Bought this randomly cause I was bored and it's actually insanely good? It's very similar to the old DnD arcade cabinets, but with a bunch of roguelite random elements thrown in. And holy shit I got ambushed by Mick Gordon music on one of the boss fights and it's so goddamn good

    Path of Exile 2

    HC is not really playable in this game. I don't think any of the HC brand PoE streamers play HC in PoE2. If you really must slam your dick in that particular door you play CI and fill in the damage however you want to.

    My 3-man all found aphelion blueprints in the same stella run one night. They absolutely have some kind of RNG problem, or maybe it's on purpose to seed certain maps with certain blueprints, who knows.

    I can't actually decide if they wrote this as a like, self-insertion fantasy for shitty liberal wine aunts that never got married, or if it's a deliberate pisstake on how insufferable those people are. That's probably a good thing though? Because if it were too obviously either of those things...

    Arc Raiders

    I think my one lingering complaint is blueprints and the nature of static loot spawns still. This was an issue in Tarkov as well, and persists here sadly. They made a pretty good stab at fixing it with randomizing the secure lockers, but they need to do more. The current meta of spawn naked + 5...

    Path of Exile 2

    Campaign resets to farm a particular mechanic has been a core strategy of PoE since the very beginning. Just because this particular instance of it was too powerful doesn't mean it's suddenly a bannable exploit. You can still use the exact same tech to farm infinite abysses or whatever in the...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    While this is bullshit rumor mongering, a price hike is definitely coming. The current shortage in the DDR5 space is not something that will be solved any time soon. We're in for a solid 2-3 years minimum of absolute unavailability of parts. I'm not even sure we're going to see any kind of...

    Don't get hung up on buying specifically a Pi. That entire space of cheap microcomputers has been entirely overrun with a flood of untraceable garbage from china and elsewhere. All you actually need is this: Pi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking It can run on any hardware/OS basically. So take...

    Arc Raiders

    I've been saying since the early tests the biggest problem this game has is being able to join raids late along with spawning more people in to raids after the initial loadout. Any map I get that is ~25 minutes or less remaining I just exit immediately - it's entirely pointless to even play...

    Path of Exile 2

    I wouldn't even call that particularly unusual for PoE. Resetting campaign zones to farm a particular league mechanic has been a staple of the game since basically forever. Temples are rewarding enough though that being able to set up a near-perfect chain of good rooms is pretty strong though...

    Which is hilarious that it even exists like that. I expect it will change and having an ass pocket requires a rig of some kind. This was a problem for years in Tarkov as well

    Last time they 'fixed' melee in PoE1 was Legion and all they did was add uneven 1-2 attack animation to most skills and cut their base attack speed by 25-30%. Those changes persist to this day, and all the current meta strike skills are ones that somehow escaped this 'fix' because it fucking...

    I mean as far as PoE2 goes it's easily in the top5 in terms of clear speed and still deletes bosses in 3 seconds.

    Yea that's exactly what I've been running in to. Pieces that are 3500$ are made from manufactured wood with 'real wood' paneling and shit. It's all just jumped up Ikea trash and there's no shot I'm paying those prices for any of it.

    Where does anyone go to buy furniture these days? Like real furniture, not Ikea-tier particle board or manufactured wood. Trying to find a corner-piece console type thing that isn't make of sawdust have proven to be an actual challenge.

    I'm all in on stormweaver I think. +2 limits and giga juiced remnants is gonna make some huuuuuuge firestorms/volcanos. Firestorm was already quite good but was only limited by the per-target cap. Now they've given it like 300% more damage but cut the frequency in half, so you should rarely...

    The tree 'crafting' was simply too powerful and accelerated everyone to week-4 burnout on day 5.

    Yes lol. I had to add the 'deal no damage 3 seconds every 10 seconds' or whatever mod to my no-run regex for 16.5/17s because if i hit big packs while that was on it would crash my game. Similar problems trying to farm harbis with all the prox shields, but the scarabs for that randomly got so...

    The scorch is mostly memes for when I run in to some stupid soul eater mob, I never worry about it outside weird niche scenarios like that.
