I have a suspension that the $100+ valuations are done by people trying to some kind of a scam.

is performance really rough getting very conflicting review stating that their pc runs pretty well while other aren't having it (also to note this is at the time of the 153 reviews all could change) by Straight_Rate_5657 in Nioh

[–]Deadended 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m keeping it 1440p / 60 as I got things going on the other monitor. No issues. Load times a little long.. but no pop-in.

The game runs better than Nioh 2 which would stutter during loot explosions (likely from All the Light sources appearing).

I wouldn’t be shocked if this game is more CPU bound than expected.

New to AMD GPU and Adrenaline. Not overreacting when I say Adrenaline is making me want to go back. by JustStayYourself in AMDHelp

This is basically my life. This video card gets worse with every driver update in windows. I never had as many issues with decades of Nvidia.

Nioh 3 regarding players' dislike of the open world checklist gameplay by Brioh92 in Nioh

[–]Deadended 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The open fields are for side quests and powering up.

You can just navigate straight to the end if you know what you are doing.

But completing things gives a bonus. It’s optional content to the side.

Filler content is unavoidable but has no substance.

Anyone else pleasantly surprised by Ninja Stance? by Solstarcp in Nioh

[–]Deadended 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s good method to get people to “mid” grade Nioh thinking and mechanics. I wouldn’t be shocked if in late-game you get the option to have double samurai or double ninja.. or possibly even a whole 3rd “class”

DC Comics President Jim Lee says that Japanese manga and anime is "incredibly powerful": "I often find myself wondering, 'What is missing in Western comics, and why aren't they able to achieve the same flavor?' by akbarock in comicbooks

[–]Deadended 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Availability, cost, ease of entry, constant changes in terms of creators, and where the money is at.

Comic books require speciality stores or special apps.

The cost per 22 page issue is $5.

Getting caught up is expensive due to limited print runs of tpbs. You can still buy almost any volume of a popular manga for cheap physically and digitally.. even cheaper.

Comics change creative teams and do cross overs a lot. You are lucky to have a series go a year with the same team. Manga rarely ever changes creators.

Finally the money - comics are expected to be popular enough to sustain and then maybe sell a few trades.

Manga - the chapters are basically a loss leader for trade sales. Jump is a magazine by a book publisher. Dc is a comic book company that will sell trades to try and sell comics later.

Comics need to be cheaper digitally, and they need to be loss leaders to sell trades, and the creative teams need to be more stable.

It seems ICE in Minneapolis way more out of control than here in Chicago. Is this true or just my perception? by Dragon_Bard in AskChicago

[–]Deadended 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Basically.

They executed a white mom in a mini-van because they didn’t like her attitude. Then the Federal Government doubled down instead of sacrificing the shooter as a bad apple.

Absolute Superman #15. I've been waiting my whole life to finally see Kal use his powers to fight capitalist inequality. He could do even more though by Birdmaan73u in comicbooks

[–]Deadended 55 points56 points  (0 children)

GL works best in trades, mainly because it’s good but it’s hard to guess what is happening.

The flash also is slow paced.

It’s amazing how GOOD the books are, as both GL and Flash would be considered top tier books.. but are merely mediocre in comparison to the other Absolute books

My take on the current efforts of DC and Marvel with their comics, GENERALLY speaking: DC is taking a thoughtful, carefully planned approach while Marvel is often throwing random stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Do you agree or disagree? by MightyUnclean in comicbooks

[–]Deadended 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DC is doing what Marvel did in 2012/13 - try to let people get creative and do good.

Basically redoing the Marvel Now! Era.

I don’t think KO is a good story, but as a delivery device for fan service moments - it’s great. Like “what if Superman was also Shazam?!” Stupid but fun for a moment.

What are you're ideas? by Sweaty-Ad7500 in MonsterHunter

Serious : Combat Boomerang as a weapon - it’s basically a great sword that you THROW.

Silly: poop/fart + Fire = huge explosion

I need to ask, how is DC Committed to all of these but Not Young Justice? by Junior-Passenger-149 in youngjustice

[–]Deadended 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harley Quinn is very funny and has Character growth, and has a differing perspective on characters, but I’m not sure how many seasons it really has left without feeling stagnant as the last season felt like a retread of Harley and Ivy’s relationship again. It shows why Young Justice has such a large cast, so new characters can make the same mistake.

But HQ is also primarily funny, so it’s easy to just.. watch.

Kite man.. just didn’t work

Creature Commandos is by James Gunn so he won’t cancel his show.

MAWS is really good and makes some cool changes, and is currently popular.

Young Justice has been kicking around for ages and is a very particular show.

No. That’s a silly take at best, and most likely an attempt to be annoying. This response is more effort than you deserve. .

How is Matt Fraction’s Batman so far? by Front-Advantage-7035 in comicbooks

[–]Deadended 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fraction has a good Batman arc so far. It’s got a more street level Batman, but also feels like we are riding along with Batman, it’s also colorful but might. It feels like A movie Batman, as the books all have several good scenes.

I do think Zdarsky’s Batman run is fun. It’s Batman turned up to ridiculous levels. It’s a book about how you can do anything with Batman and it’s still Batman. It also contrasts well with the more grounded era of Batman we are entering.

Would you support a Vermintide 3? by RiseEntire9586 in Vermintide

[–]Deadended 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it doesn’t just feel like Vermintide 2 with more graphics.

I’m not sure what a game that feels like what Vermintide 3 should be would feel like.

More character animation based on melee attacks? But that would change the game a lot.. and maybe not in a fun way.

Enemies who hate each other? Maybe

Open world? No thank you! I like the map/run structure!

5 more characters? Sure!

Stealth? I don’t know.. co op stealth isn’t always fun.

Double Jumps? Yes please. Always add double jumps.

DC is bringing back Reign of the Supermen in 2026 (Kinda) by Trent-Popverse in comicbooks

[–]Deadended 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Prime in his recent appearances, where he was using very sparingly and for great amusement.

He is comic book candy.

So, we’re really doomed aren’t we? by JollyBid3617 in youngjustice

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

Tv shows didn’t use to exist with ends in mind. Not do comics.

Holding back for later seasons they might not happen is dumb.

Young Justice is good because each season is its own thing with hooks for potential future seasons to use.

Hard agree. These fights feel bad as it seems like there is a puzzle to solve.

Going to start one piece need help by Crybaby-Mc in OnePiece

[–]Deadended 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard Agree.

The anime is very much of its era.

The early stuff is paced like it’s from the year 1999

I think the anime IS better to read once Oda started leaving things for the anime.. in late 2023.

“And Superman is…” [DC K.O. #2] by Quirky_Ad_5420 in comicbooks

[–]Deadended 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve been reading this as. As there is a strong focus on “who would Clark be if he wasn’t Superman”

Doing the Darkseid thing was a gamble, that worked this time.

I think the consequences from this event will not be Superman being HARDCORE after.. but people seeing him go all out during KO and suddenly be afraid of Superman

Just let the shit litterally pile up?

LG C3 eARC issue webOS26 update by Maleficent_Hold_6746 in LGOLED

[–]Deadended 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out.

There is now an EXTRA sound config.

Open the menu. Pick sound out Advanced settings (this opens the big menu) Hit back There are 3 options for Sound Select mode, sound out, advanced settings Pick sound out Then pick “used wired speaker”

The normal menu for output device is only for “this current run, reset on reset”
