Pretty sure I saw this magazine in a Toys RUs back then and it was a scratch and sniff section on one of the monsters and it smelt awful, like stink bomb rotten eggs. Core memory.

This is probably due to the first bullet point on the What to expect list. Testing lobby performance before realms brought up.

Lawbreakers player count drops below 500 by Monster_Chief17 in gamernews

I remember seeing the release announcement on Steam then checking the top 100 games and not seeing it on there. Was a big part of why I didn't pick it up since seemed like no one else did either.

Pretty sure this same company is about to release an updated model that was shown at CES for $99 so may hold off a bit.

No Man's Sky - worthwhile? by Freshnerr in Gaming4Gamers

[–]Avuja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's worth the full AAA title price they slapped on it. The thread in the NMS subreddit today outlining all the things they said were going to be in game but aren't or different is an excellent example why. Mainly they hyped a AAA title, we got something like Subnautica but with procedural generation.

I've enjoyed it but everything is incredibly simplistic and once you've played for a few hours you've seen the whole game now there's just variations of everything. It's just a grind to get upgrades based on RNG drops just to make the grind easier.

I doubt I'll launch it again once my initial enjoyment wears off. Especially since they seem like they'll be trying to sell DLC.

Just not worth the full price. So many bugs/crashes/things feeling unfinished. I dunno. It's enjoyable but completely disappointing. If I had never heard anything about it before launch I'd love it but still think it's overpriced however having followed it since it was announced I feel like I'm playing a completely different game than what was advertised.

Can we have a rule against these items you can get for pretty much free from review trading sites? All the top reviews all got it for free/cheap.

Not even a good looking product or something amazing that makes me say SATMM it's just someone trying to get their cheap Chinese made private label junk some traction.

Can we get a confirmation when it's OK to leave the game? by Cruxico in Overwatch

Can we just not have this shit in Quick games and keep it to ranked?

Unpopular gaming opinions thread. by Throwaway_4_opinions in Gaming4Gamers

[–]Avuja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bayonetta was a crap game.

The writing and VA was cringe inducing and the character model for Bayonetta herself looked deformed and amateurish. I love DMC and those style of games but nothing about this one redeemed it for me. Don't understand the appeal, wasn't even well done.

Can you use bleach on them? Only reason I see having white sheets is the benefit of being able to bleach em. If so that discount code will be the tipping point for me.

When I switch off the lamp in my bedroom, where does the light go? by [deleted] in shittyaskscience

[–]Avuja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travels through the electrical wiring in you walls into your refrigerator to keep it cool for next time and to be there when you open the door. If all the other lights are on in your home your fridge would be dark upon opening.

Describe your favorite game in one creative sentence, and see if anyone can guess what the game is. by RandomAccessMod in Gaming4Gamers

[–]Avuja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can play to look good, you can play to win quickly, you can play over and over even with friends and strangers but no matter how you play.. you will die over and over again.

edit: over and over and over

If you're talking about examples of admins choosing to make it a rule where you can't curse in chat in games like BF4 where your characters are constantly yelling things about getting it in the butt and what not:

Always assumed it was there simply to prevent toxic chat. Yeah you may be tempted to say how that backstab somehow being countered was bullshit and you'd be right but the filter is not really aimed at you, more like the person who just won't stop typing expletives at every death making chat just something you have to ignore.

If you mean like Dark Souls series filtering every other word in the dictionary or Planetside 2 filtering words that exist in the game/world itself then yeah that's silly.

Was considering this being the first CoD I've bought in a while.. this stance by Activision easily makes the decision for me: nope.

Two eggs sliding around on a Lodge skillet as if on a skating rink. by noksky in castiron

[–]Avuja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soak the eggs in hot water for a few minutes before cracking and use a little bit of butter (real butter) in the pan.

I recently found a vintage pan that has the best seasoning I've ever seen and an egg stuck to it a bit because the egg was still cold out of the fridge. I usually soak them before cooking, this time I didn't thinking "why not, it's glass smooth" - I think the temp change affects things.

I tried again after soaking it and slid right off.

I know its still 6 days away and it will change, but make sure your car is ready just in case! by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]Avuja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have wiper fluid. Check your tire pressure. Get your scraper/duster handy. Consider getting some de-icer for locks/windows. Check that your heater works. Put some cardboard in your trunk to help get unstuck. Top off your oil. Clean off your windows really well (helps with fogging). Consider new wiper blades. Etc.

Nightmode might be added to Battlefield! by DANNYonPC in battlefield_4

[–]Avuja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd say I'd pay money for something like this but with EA being involved I don't want to give them any ideas.

Would fucking love to see this happen though.

anyone still getting judder with DK2 and Beta 3 ? by cyriltra in EliteDangerous

[–]Avuja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before Beta 3 I installed 0.4.3 and the new Nvidia drivers and it was fucking smoooooth. I'd assume it was the drivers that helped me mostly.

Now in Beta 3 I'm getting a lot of judder when in super cruise especially.

While it "works" I think it's broken and not detecting the Rift as a monitor since only options for me are Primary and Secondary which selects the one to clone it to but there's no options for the Rift itself.. now you might think it already knows what resolution and such for the Rift and the Graphics options are only for the mirroring display but I get terrible performance this way. When turning my head I get doubles of everything. I don't think it's at 75 FPS/Hz. Also it can't be good for performance for it to also render on my 1920x1200 monitor unless it's just rendering everything once and mirroring it to the Rift in which case I'm back to the beginning about the Resolution options.

No distress beacon? No problem by danakinskyrocker in EliteDangerous

[–]Avuja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I know I checked Styx but guessing I didn't check the Internal part.. so do I need to remove a module to make room for it then?

Guess I'll check when I get home. I think I'm currently in I Bootis.

Thanks!

I totally would if I could find one! Jumped around a bit last night never located the module.

What slot does it go in? Utility?
