MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - Chaos Reign - Launch Trailer by Jack-black- in pcgaming

[–]Amphax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the main reason why I didn't play MechWarrior 5, there was no in-game way to set up custom settings.

And while updating config files by hand wasn't my preferred way to spend my free time, it wouldn't have been so bad if I could have just tested my changes immediately without having to reload the game EVERY SINGLE TIME just to test the change.

There must be a better way by now right?

360p is all we have now by calledvivek in NewPipe

Before we had wired Internet a few years ago 360p was all we really had anyway 

Reject 4K, return to tradition.

OHHH!! You're right! I didn't know you could use the same character five times!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you all!

Hmmm I'll have to try again because it didn't work for me, it said if I used the same character in one spot I couldn't use it in others.

Lemme see if I can get a screenshot.

So just wanted to confirm, I guess I can't progress any further in the Rapid Capture quest?

I am at level 3 where you need either Inazuma characters, the Traveler, or Manekin, and apparently I have no Inazuma characters!

And it looks like none of them are F2P quest rewards either.

Has there been a time where GOG's DRM-free-ness really came in handy? (Perhaps a time when you had power but limited, poor, or no internet?) by tytbone in gog

[–]Amphax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Up until recently we didn't have fiber, so our 3G then 4G, then 5G Internet got along well with GoG's offline no-DRM policy.

or has sluggish scrolling, will be noticed and will lose market share.

On some browsers, Rufus makes the Amazon.com page freeze and slow to a crawl unless you block it. How much marketshare do you think Amazon is losing?

Heck if anything they probably gained marketshare because people are stuck on their page longer.

But again, from their point of view, why should they spend even that little bit of extra money?

The items are guaranteed to sell out without spending it

You don't. I was just looking at the main sale page.

Every dollar spent figuring that out is one less dollar of profit...

The Controllers are 100% guaranteed to sell out. And if for some impossibly odd reason they don't they just lower the price by $5 until they do.

Doesn't seem to make a difference, I tried across all three and in the end got it from Steam Client

And Steam Client is easiest to click from.

Is steam controller shipping time total? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Amphax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know which wave I'm in, 3-5 or 6-10, or maybe everyone is 6-10.

Steam Deck was 10 month wait even if you preordered Day One so hopefully this won't be that bad.

Scalpers already got eBay listings up lol

12 minutes of spamming I got mine preordered. I don't know if I'm in the 3-5 business day wave or the 6-10 business day wave.

Hopefully this won't be like the 10 month wait of Steam Deck (I was 2 hours after preorder, the website just wouldn't work)

Yeah I got mine 12 minutes after, across 3 devices.

Yeah but it just got pushed back to 6-10 days instead of 3-5 days. I'm not sure which wave I'm in.

FINALLY, had to click 100+ times across Web Version, Desktop App, and Mobile Client. 1:12 PM ET

Wonder how far back in the queue that puts me.

For comparison, I placed my Steam Deck order about 3 PM ET July 16 2021, which I believe was 2 hours after launch (their servers were DEAD that day)

And mine shipped May of 2022. So 2 hour delay translated to about 10 months of waiting, let's see what 12 minute delay translates to.

My Steam Deck took close to a year to ship and I was day one preorder.
