If you never used an IPS you will take some getting used to the glow the panel produces. The positives of IPS are excellent color reproduction (calibration may be required) and great viewing angles, the negatives are relatively poor contrast ratio.

If you win anything, I'm calling that game unrealistic...

Looks to be a quality IPS pannel. The resolution may be an overkill for that size, I personally would have gone for a higher refresh rate.

Tried out Homeworld Remastered, specifically HM2. Started up a game against a CPU to see if I still remember how to play it. It all came back to me pretty quick and the first Battlecruiser was out in a couple of minutes, at which point I discovered the reduced unit caps and no level 2 or 3 research. Upon further research I discover that they balanced HW2 to be inline with HW1... Whyyyyyyy... Also there seem to be a lot less maps then before, or maybe I'm misremembering. While they have modernized the game with the basic quality of life changes, they ****ed it up with the balancing especially considering that they abandoned the game completely. There are some community patches out there in a form of a mod, but as far as Gearbox is concerned they will not touch the remaster anymore. I don't understand why they didn't just remaster the game and leave the gameplay as is, especially if they had no plans to support it in the long run. Maybe they expected more sales or a larger active community. Whatever the case may be I don't like the end product. This does not bode well for Homeworld 3...

At least Bioshock had an interesting premise and design/gameplay. TLOU2 gameplay was painful to watch let alone play.

Yep it was there, but the colors were so off I missed it. Either way that part wasn't really that jarring for me, comparing it to some other thing.

You monster.

Interesting, they either redid that scene (tomb of Balin) for the extended cut, or used a different cut as I couldn't find that particular shot, or it's a different scene.

Just rewatched that scene, what bothers you about it?

If game reviews were like this, maybe I would read them.

Matrix 2 and 3 come to mind.

To that point, rewatching LotR in 4k showed how much better the practical effects are in the long run. Gollum is starting to show his age and the scene where Frodo and Sam run in to mount Doom is particularly bad.

Happy Birthday!

@BruceVC Do you know how it ended?

Here in Serbia, they are thinking of adding vaccination areas in malls. Seems that even walking in appointments are not enough to motivate people to get vaccinated.

Read the first book of the series when I was in high school, need to give that series another shot.

I think that if Japan tried anything against China again, China would sink those islands no matter the cost. Too many memories there, I think the Chinese people would force the government's hand.

The drama side of Twitch streaming.

Still 12 euro over here.

One and a half episodes, doubt I'll come back to it.

That's what the arms are for.

The delay is that the West wants us to recognize Kosovo, but they don't want to straight out say that is what is blocking our admission. The negotiations are dead in the water as Serbia fulfilled all of it's promises from the Brussels Agreements and the Albanians from Kosovo didn't honor any of theirs, so basically the talks are dead until they honor their part. As for the Prime minister, she mostly does what the President tells her. Why he picked her I couldn't tell you...Maybe because he wanted to score some brownie points in the EU, maybe because he trusts her, or maybe both. The reaction was not that bad, people poked fun but that's as far as it went as far as I can remember.

The information is from somewhere far more trustworthy, Saudi Arabia.

Seems there will be a rollout of a third dose of the Sinofarm/Chinese vaccine, but it will be based on the immune response of the individual. How they will determine that I have no idea... Seems like a lot of work to test everyone for antibodies. Either way it looks like the latest research shows that the Chinese variant does gets to over 90% efficiency but it takes significantly more time to get there.

They will eventually just call it Windows. I'm still waiting for them to retry the whole mobile experience.
