The Pitt/HBO, ssn2, eps 8-9 Finally starting to get more interesting/compelling. Both in terms of hospital staff chrs, some patients, and a "tech/digital vs. analog" situation. Robby's arc (lead/Noah Wyle) this season is seeming fairly dark. Not in an over-dramatic way, it's more of a continuation of his 1st season state. Boyfriend on Demand/Netflix/k-drama --I only tried this one because of the cast list. A rom-com, where lead gal goes through usual IRL trials while testing this virtual-reality-bf tech (you wear a skinny eyepiece, maybe it connects to your brain, not sure). Apparently the best VR ever. The first episode was IRL setup, then the VR boyfriend stuff takes stage for a couple episodes. Those scenarios are big visuals and sometimes funny for ppl familiar with kdrama or k-romance webtoon tropes - more often it just feels like retread cheese. Beyond the stacked/pretty cast list, not even really guilty-pleasure/lulz binge worthy. I won't continue.

Good to know the scorpions didn't get Frankie Muniz. They were after him for a while.

yeah, i feel the same. The game uses its own upscaler as an option to FRS and DLSS. Notice that the recommended specs are using an 8 gb card. That's pretty forgiving these days. If you are still on a 2080, it should be fine ?

I definitely am picturing all the hype is going to = tons of people buying a game that ends up nothing like they were picturing. That's often the end case for hype. For one thing, it seems to be mashing together many styles and loops. It could feel too unfocused/messy, even re: discovery/exploration (my thing).

While I know it's been extensively reported he was I'm less than convinced that MBS was pro war. Very obviously risky for him and his country, and he had the experience of the Houthis embarrassing his army and air force- and hitting his oil facilities with cheap drones, and having difficulties sourcing patriots to defend from their sporadic attacks- for ten years to fall back on. Being willing to allow the use of facilities when it's inevitable is a bit different to actually advocating for it as Netanyahu assuredly did.

Gameplay videos mostly turned me off the game. Mishmash of God of War, Dragon's Dogma, Monster Hunter and... Just Cause?

I hope I'll be long dead before Jake Paul enters office.

Despite the v1.0.6 fix the Diabolical Drones of Doom bug is still preventing me from finishing the bounty. Is there any way to force the last wave of drones to spawn, or do I have to ignore the quest and wait for a fix?

Great, more shark movies. At least Sharknado is supposed to be silly. Does everyone understand that Sharks don't do well in shallow water? At least not these monsters that they are showing in the movie. Highly unrealistic. :p

striking oil was stupid for everyone who know which direction the toxic cloud will float almost nothing could have take down usa from outside ussr doesn't even make a dent with 40 year of proxy war space race and arm race so the orange bomb must blow it up from within

One of the best things about being a gamer is looking at your list of unplayed Steam and GOG games and deciding what to play next Another best thing is finding a game on a sales special that you have always wanted to play I am finally playing Red Dead Redemption 1, I have waited 14 years to play this game on PC I spent close to 300 hours on RDR2 and Im looking forward RDR1 🤠

Crimson Desert's Steam store page now says Denuvo included. Which doesn't bother me personally. But it always feels a bit sneaky (or something) when a game adds such after it's already been available for pre-order for a bit etc. vs. just doing it/saying they will from the get-go, even if those that do mind can simply cancel their pre-orders. I'm still going to be waiting for those initial reviews re: gameplay/mechanics. Like, I'd like to know more about this settlement feature etc. I have high interest/hopes - the no chr-xp-levels aspect also interests me - but it's not quite a "must buy" for me yet. Almost, but not quite.

Hey Obsidian, I play Avowed since it's been released on PS5 and want to thank you for this great RPG - incredible what you've accomplished and how beautiful your world is! Also it's a huge playground for explorers and most of the time rewarding. Two suggestions for upcoming patches though: Please implement a torch or lantern! I'm for 40 hours in the game and there is absolutely no trace of a lightsource to carry with me. That's a shame, especially because the lighting of other sources is excellent. And second, if possible, please implement some changing weather conditions in the areas, at least clear skies and rain, and wind (for trees and leaves to move more). Would add much to the atmosphere! Thanks again and keep up the good work Andy

I doubt any of what happens in Iran or Hormuz at the moment benefits the US in any way. There are heads of state, who knows how to play Trump like a fiddle and have no problems making him dance to their tune. Pat him on the head and tell him what a great guy he is and how the world will admire his tough stance. You can almost visualize the phone conversations between Netanyahu, MBS and Trump played out. Netanyahu, like Trump has pending court cases for corruption and a needs a constant state of war to stay out of jail, Saudi Arabia would not miss out on an opportunity to kill as many Shia muslims as possible. Putin has a similar talent for handling Trump like a sock puppet and get him to do Russias bidding. In this case, dismantling Nato from within. The potential for the worst oil crisis since the 70's and the dead bodies of 140+ school girls are a small price to pay for such glorious victories on the world stage. Since his ugly mug is unlikely to fit in with the other four heads on Mt. Rushmore, it wouldn't really be a surprise when the announcement comes, that national guard demolitionists are going to make way for a nice new large (the largest ever, the world has never seen anything this large and this golden!) gilded bust of his royal highness where the 4 old heads used to be

Note that the death of the Aytollah is credited to Israel, although it likely wouldn't have happened without the US attack. We also have Israel to thank for attacking Iran's oil infrastructure; I'm not sure that was a good move from the US perspective.

I suppose Trump accomplished an unusual feat in Iran. He managed to get Ayatollah Khamenei replaced with Ayatollah Khamenei as supreme leader 🤔

2 tanker burn the oil price are not really going to lower anytime soon despite the market manipulation happened few day ago

I feel that doing that for all armor sets would be a lot of work, but I do think that there is something to this in the fact that people who invest in early armor that has strong/liked set bonuses do not want to lose their investment or feel like they have to abandon the armor they have grown attached to in favor of higher tier gear.... An example: Lady Bug armor is strong and very well-liked, but it is lower tier. What if, after fighting ladybirds (Assuming they will make it back into the game) your ladybug armor could be used to craft a higher-tier version with the same or close to the same bonuses? This could be done for particularly liked early game sets that have a later game counterpart to the bug... Just so you don't lose a unique version of armor for those later game counterparts that could be included too of course.
