  1. What's the best macro programmable mouse out there. Mine only has 12 additional buttons. Not enough.
  2. No key remapping. On a PC RTS title. Perhaps someone with coding experience could clarify, but that very much seems like something that would take less than a day to do. It poses a more serious question, if they didn't bother with that what other holes are in the multiplayer. What else is missing.
  3. You guys are overthinking it. It's supposed to be a wild wasteland episode. The reason you can't tell is that it's not even remotely funny.
  4. There's a small chance it could be day Z with high production value based on what I could gather, and of course it might be ****, but even Ubisoft can make a good game by accident.
  5. So Deserts of Kharak is out in like 3 days.
  6. I guess this is what getting old is. All the people you feel you have shared the world with even in just a vauge general way die and disappear one after the other.
  7. mr. Takahashi will not be joinging us for the rest of his life.
  8. So Obama should have pretended that the US would have intervened in Ukraine and Syria. What would have happened when the world called his bluff. I'm sure you agree it would never have happened.
  9. A US navy boat has engine trouble and drifts into Iranian warters, rather than invade Iranian territory they decide to let it play out diplomatically. This is not the 70s, there is no reason to suspect the sailors would become hostages. Is there any indication that it was a covert raid of some sort. Not that we would know either way.
  10. Youtube are getting busy with the DMCA takedowns I see. Feels a bit like crows circiling a corpse but that's the music biz for ya.
  11. 7 tracks, and some very long ones still.
  12. Man, I listened to his new album recently and now I realise it's only 4 tracks because he didn't finish.
  13. On the other hand some of the best missions in EW were time sensitive. The bomb disposals and the one where you had to place the transponder on the train. The big alien ship missions got a bit too long I think and could easily encourage you to get sloppy and walk into a bad situation simply because moving and going to overwatch on every turn was too cumbersome. I think terror missions were meant to be time sensitive in that civilians died inside the fog of war every turn but mostly because of the spawn system going after them in a concerted manner was never worth the risk so you were essentially just fighting the aliens and if you happened to walk into a civilian or two to rescue, great. I'd like to see a little of both so you don't have to sacrifice combat effectiveness to complete objectives in every mission. That would be going too far. It all depends on how well the missions are crafted I guess.
  14. It's pretty much what Yahtzee Crowshaw calls the 'every open world game' syndrome. At least it doesn't have grind requirements for opening up new map areas.
  15. It's great until you discover it isn't. So just enjoy the next 20 hrs or so before you do. Technically you will have gotten your money's worth even though most of the main quests are broken and/or over simplified.
  16. All youtube 'content creators' are varying degrees of obnoxious. It's always a bit of a problem sounding credible while making a really good living doing something practically any idiot could do. On balance I think he does a fine job sounding brittish while reviewing games. Don't be so jealous.
  17. The Expanse is getting good I think.
  18. This is a giant cluster****. So yeah they ought to fingerprint them and send those details on to wherever they wind up seeking asylum.
  19. Problem with any mechanical fan. It performs great while all the components are spanking new. After you have had it a few years of wear and tear and bits of dust and goop you can't get to, that's another story. I'd really like to see a module designed for easy replacement as well as low noise.
  20. Price is also an issue which is why foundries still make huge (relatively) die sizes for all those useless 'internet of things' appliances, as if a toaster with an internet connection was somehow exciting. 14,10 and 5 are comming in the next few years but which process will be adopted by the most foundries and have the lowest ammount of errors per run. Chips on GPUs can afford to be bigger simply by virtue of having more space available at least in traditional form factors. . Usually when the process gets smaller it also gets cheaper, producting however many times more transistors in one go, but that is said to nolonger the case as we approach the practical limit of Moore's law. So the next step is expanding on the notion of 3d chips, which would slow things down considerably.
  21. I think it makes more sense to call it a protracted proxy war than a world war, but some people do call the cold war ww3.
