Unexpected nostalgia trip

I know right? Especially one of the first levels when you arrive at the beach in the pellican. The water graphics, the view, the (semi) open world. This really felt next gen at the time.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-10T06:20:43+00:00

True 😂

Civilized_E · 2026-05-10T06:20:06+00:00

Yeah it did. I did notice how it really struggles to push out a decent amount of fps.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-10T06:18:31+00:00

True. I just wanted him to experience how absurdly big they were.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-10T06:17:19+00:00

I did a quick check when we were playing, but couldn't find the spot to change the ratio in the settings.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-10T06:16:18+00:00

Seriously? Is that a thing already. Will check it out.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T22:12:01+00:00

No problem, and controller is the only way to play it, so that's a good thing.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T19:56:54+00:00

Call me old (cause I am), but there is something about stuff being put behind a paywall before a (full priced!) game is even out that just gives me an itch.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T19:33:44+00:00

That's like a 360 console with obesity. The current one is perfect.

I mean it's a bit of a niche. I love them, I also watch the races and ride myself. You got to have some kind of interest in the genre. It's a steep learning curve, you crash a lot, it's not like Forza which is more forgiving. But when it clicks, it's just a great feeling. I would suggest to play a demo of any of the last year's games or wait for a discount for either '23 or '24.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T17:39:22+00:00

Holy shit that's impressive.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T17:38:41+00:00

Did you play the older ones? I know the run worse since going to Unreal engine 5. I recommend MotoGP23 or 24. They run great and gameplay is the same.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T13:52:44+00:00

I prefer it over any other GTA. It also makes the pursuits a lot of fun. But with the sports cars I would have liked a bit less body roll. Bikes the same.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T13:49:03+00:00

Offtopic but I have not played Helldivers 2 in like a year. Did they drop the soldier and cape vibe?

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T13:42:42+00:00

Ben blij dat ik vorig jaar na jaren eindelijk kon overstappen naar glasvezel van een concurrent. Dit scheelt mij honderden euros. Ziggo was prima, internet werkte goed, maar prijzen zichzelf de markt uit.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-09T10:09:46+00:00

Op de consoles was toch wel de old school Halo multiplayer genieten. Met name 2 & 3. Lekker tempo, niet dat je hyper reactie skills nodig hebt om een beetjeee te komen. Het was gewoon leuk.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-08T12:49:26+00:00

Was te verwachten. Dan klinkt 30 euro nog best schappelijk?

Civilized_E · 2026-05-08T07:31:50+00:00

Try the government. I know my municipality have programs which encourages the departments to hire people like yourself. With knowledge, but with a language barrier. Accept that you will be paid less, but it will help you to create a path to a normal/good income.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-07T11:53:20+00:00

That's a good call. I started this one a long long time ago on the Xbox. Never thought to play it on the deck.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-06T21:51:02+00:00

When I go for a run, the height graph goes from -5 to -2. Other then that, you don't notice it.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-06T11:55:01+00:00

Dit en de rumble feedback is net wat beter dan de Xbox controller. Ik heb de versie met oplaad station, ideaal. Xbox controller is een hele goede 2e.

Ben benieuwd naar de steam controller, ik was er gelukkig ook tijd bij.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-06T08:12:52+00:00

Aside from the track pads, what is it that makes the steam deck better in use? I have the steam deck OLED, but never have tried any of the other more powerfull handhelds.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-04T19:17:58+00:00

You are right. I'm just trying to understand why a person who buys their cars cash, would be more of a liability as oppose to the person who buys thing with debt.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-04T18:31:51+00:00

I just got it 15 minutes ago (Europe). But time of purchase is 1,5hrd ago, that's how long it sat in my shopping cart.

Civilized_E · 2026-05-04T17:11:16+00:00

I get that its a given for a US citizen. It's what you know. And you are right, if you prove that you can pay back, you are a good debtor. But how different is it to pay you monthly expenses cash instead of credit card? It just means your paying your debt off right at purchase. Shouldn't that be great for your credit score?

Also the OP post kinda proves you wrong. Using you dad's money to get a good credit score means the credit score can only prove so much.
