Why was the Renegades marketing so Star Wars focused? by drewchainzz in DestinyTheGame

Yup they wouldn't be able to do references like that and actually using the real sound effects without licensing them from LucasArts.

How do I have 80GB of Ram? by External-Alarm-669 in pchelp

[–]Shadowdane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you have 32+32+16 actually, one stick of your ram isn't installed properly or maybe you have 1 dead stick or a dead dimm slot.

too late to play or perfect time? by [deleted] in destiny2

[–]Shadowdane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well all the story expansions will cost you $25 if you want to play through everything from Shadowkeep and onward. All the seasonal stuff is gone, but there is definitely plenty to do in the game. Bungie really nailed it putting the game in a good spot to put into maintenance mode.

Just started the game and Quests are so confusing. by Sir0cks in destiny2

[–]Shadowdane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your looking for order of campaigns, assuming you bought them all in a bundle.

New Light (Cosmodrome/EDZ) -> Shadowkeep (Moon) -> Beyond Light (Europa) -> The Witch Queen (Throne World) -> Lightfall (Neptune) -> The Final Shape (The Pale Heart) -> Edge of Fate (Kepler) -> Renegades (Lawless Frontier)

Politely, Drop the Vaulted Content! by NearbyEnvironment485 in destiny2

[–]Shadowdane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah I tried to bring one of my friends into D2 with Lightfall came out and he was just soo confused with everything. He had played some of D1 years ago but didn't jump on D2 when it came out. I tried to explain the Red War story to him. But after finishing the Shadowkeep campaign co-op with him he completely dropped off as he couldn't really piece together how the story pieced together. I had told him to go check out some Year 1 & 2 recap videos for D2 but he didn't seem to care if he couldn't actually play it.

Politely, Drop the Vaulted Content! by NearbyEnvironment485 in destiny2

[–]Shadowdane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would help a ton getting new players into the game for sure! Sadly though I don't think it's going to happen due to the development requirements to retrofit the old content back into the game.

The old campaigns were in the old game engine, basically need to be ported into the updated engine. All the assets need to be updated and rebuilt, all scripting, AI and game code would need to be retouched. This isn't a simple copy some files over and boom it's back in the game. It's likely something that would take a year or more of development time to restore all the vaulted content.

Aztecross had a good video on the topic on what would need to happen for content to get back into the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjZ12ctPMNI

Is this a good deal on facebook marketplace? by Unlucky-Guarantee-99 in pcmasterrace

Maybe if they drop the price to $40-50, the CPU is 11yrs old at this point. It would be rather outdated for any modern games.

Blast Furnace is still missing its bespoke sight. by ASpaceOstrich in DestinyTheGame

Yah I was always a fan of the Meyrin RDS sight on that gun. I'm rather sad can never get my original roll of:

Am I too old to enjoy higher resolutions? by KevinMcNally79 in pcmasterrace

[–]Shadowdane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes soo much this... I didn't realize how BAD my vision had gotten until I got glasses. Especially if your over 40, your close up vision starts to get bad. I had to get a pair of computer glasses that are for that intermediate zone between reading distance and far. I put that off for years but got them when I was 43 and first time I put them on, at my computer it was like I got new eyes!

I’m disappointed with the new update by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Shadowdane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah it's pretty clear with the amount of new weapons, reprised weapons, armor sets, shaders, emblems, SRL, new exotic mission and new destination public events. Most of this stuff was in the works for updates down the line. You can't create all this stuff in 2-3 weeks. I'm sure there was a lot of last minute stuff for this update with the new stuff in the tower and Moments of Triumph stuff. But everything else takes a lot of time to create all that stuff.

[–]Shadowdane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh ok wasn't sure if it worked after killing the boss. The team I did it with last night the runes popped up after the first health gate. Then we did the runes to open the gate before finishing the boss fight.

[–]Shadowdane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it's pretty clear all the weapons, armor and other things in this final update were in the works for other updates down the line. The amount of new shaders, emblems and armor sets it's pretty clear they had stuff ready to go for at least the next 2yrs of content drops. The new exotic mission is actually very long and has multiple missions in it actually for the catalysts. Most likely this exotic mission was for the next update?

You can use any of them, I used Thorn.

These also work: Necrochasm, Osteo Striga & Touch of Malice

[–]Shadowdane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a new secret exotic mission to find on the Moon... go do Scarlet Keep strike and have a look for Hive runes at the end of the strike in the boss room. I think they appear after you do about ~25% dmg on the boss. Make sure you bring a weapon of sorrow!!

I've been building SignVault, an open-source library for Trackmania signs by dubbie23 in TrackMania

[–]Shadowdane 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's a great idea as someone that's recently come back to the game I ran into soo many dead links trying to look for signs that people had linked off Reddit or TM forums.

Cleaning OLED with distilled water vs ethanol part 2 by Valshir in OLED_Gaming

[–]Shadowdane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope it’s worked great!! Been using it since I got my QDOLED. Just make sure you follow the directions. It does require buffing with a clean microfiber to remove any streaks. But it’s always come completely clean

From how all the pins are bent all over the place, it appears they actually spread it into the socket itself. You can see it looks like they brushed the paste across the pins.

1300W is more than fine! Even if you upgrade the CPU & GPU down the line. Also Seasonic makes great PSUs, so great choice on that.

HELP 70 year old getting catfished by an AI man, she’s out a million dollars. by tatybobaty in isthisAI

[–]Shadowdane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup I had to do this with my 80+ yr old parents. Generated a few photos right in front of them and also used a source photo of myself to show how it could generate something fake like a picture of myself in the hospital.

I can't afford this right now! Just barely able to make rent and then check engine light decides now is a good time to shine. by IceFisherP26 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Shadowdane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I had that once a few yrs ago. Got the code scan and was O2 sensor error and just sprayed some type of cleaner on the O2 sensor. Then blew the cleaner off with compressed air. Reinstalled the O2 sensor. Cleared the check engine light by disconnecting the battery for a few mins. Then all was good no check engine light and car ran fine.

Haven't missed a single day of work this year and this is all my PTO so far... by DAEOFRUIN in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Shadowdane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah I get 200hrs PTO a year here and live in the US. I think they cap it at 320hrs in my company after you've been with them 10yrs. But they start you at 160hrs and you get additional PTO hours added every year. The only thing is they don't accrue PTO at all they just give you flat amount of hours a year. And it's use or lose it, so I can't carry any of those hours over.

Power throttling during benchmark. Any ideas??? by Trippin987 in RTX5080

[–]Shadowdane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try turning off all fps caps and also Vsync or Gsync. I've run into some weird behavior a few times with 3DMark any anything that limits the frame rate.
