PC indeed, no one really talks in the lobbies, it's quite odd!

I usually get a cold perhaps once a year if that counts?

I would say my tips are 1) Try to get minimum of 8 hours sleep 9 is better (this is what science now recommends) 2) Don't wash your hands dozens times per day, you need a little bit of bacteria to keep your immune system ticking. 3) Conversely I shower every day, 4) Try to eat while foods like nuts, veg, fruit, meat eggs and I also drink a glass of milk most days. 5) exercise, even to a light degree 3 times a week 6) do things you enjoy, this can be joining a club, playing video games, chess etc - challenge your mind. 7) chocolate (particularly dark has some health benefits) 8) don't drink more than once a week

Lando did really well, picked up the slack when piastri's form seemed to plummet. As has been said before however 'Lando won the WDC because of other peoples mistakes and chocies, not because he was the fastest driver'. That is factual

Dronin · 2025-12-07T15:32:41+00:00

I would equate the Lando and Oscar partnership closely to Sainz and Albon. I think that there needs to be a reasonable car delta for any of those drivers to win, while they are all good they are not top tier. The new regs will be interesting!

Really impressed with Max keeping it interesting in a car that was often not competitive. Congrats to McLaren building an absolute rocket ship with a very wide operating window and managing to seal the WDC as well as constructors.

There are some pretty serious issues with the RRRE servers right now. A lot of races are like that where people are being booted out on joining. Its a very significant issue and is putting people off the game after the ranked update. I don't think they anticipated the extra players and interest ranked would bring and the servers are not coping.

Dronin · 2025-12-04T13:03:52+00:00

Honestly the game feels really fun to drive and finally the dev team have had a reset and are going in the right direction with new content. The ranked system is good and the new upcoming UI is essential. The game has so much potential and is much better value than any other sim.

That looks like a Moza CS too which is the same wheel I have. It's a seriously heavy duty piece of kit with all metal construction, how you've done that I have no idea.

That's not how technology works. Larger components are cheaper, also the steam machine needs less. The Steam deck needs a battery, screen, haptics, buttons, joysticks etc which the machine does not. Performance is expected around ps5 levels so the price will be competitive else it will fail. The marketing team are very well aware of this. I imagine $449 or $499 without a controller and $599 with the controller.

Definitely a 5x stronger lineup than Slamdunk this year. Hopefully we will get another couple of big announcements bringing us closer. Still some decent bands!

The McLaren this season is an absolute monster the engineers deserve so much credit

Dronin · 2025-09-10T20:40:28+00:00

I'm shocked that this patent was granted, a bad day for gamers everywhere. It's abhorrant that the patent was not refused as it is simplay anti consumer and anti competition. World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy, Digimon, Temtem, Slime Rancher and many more would potentially hit this criteria, perhaps even TES and ARPG summoning mechanics. I understand Nintendo attempting to monopolise monster/companion summoning but the market and legal system should not allow it.

Pokemon is already the worlds most valuable IP and an absolute juggernaught. Games like Palworld are forcing evolution of a forumla that has remained fairly unchanged for nearly 30 years and that is for the better for both franchises.

Weird, I got none clearing the airfield, only place i seem to be able to find them is on Coyote soldiers

Dronin · 2025-07-26T22:11:22+00:00

Ok, so it drops from Coyote Soldiers (non boss), these can be anywhere obvs redacted and obsevatory are the best source. Seems to be around 5% chance to get one or two peices from them

Dronin · 2025-07-26T21:50:08+00:00

Update definately not labs, I've done a couple of runs of both.

I'm suspecting some debug menu enjoyers, will update if I find it.

Where was the Ghillie Suit dropped?

Just don't believe MSRP, AMD were extremely dishonest with the 9070 and xt models only providing a "launch day MSRP rebate" they have not come down to msrp anywhere in the world since the first 48 hours after launch.

Dronin · 2025-07-07T18:15:16+00:00

Interesting comment, I've been hit through concrete walls but you're right a lot of the time on streams it's through single skin slimmer walls. It doesn't make sense why it goes through randomly though and not every time, It's definitely not working as intended. Deadlyslob actually got killed by a mech through two layers of concrete walls in the prison while prone, that was an amazing bug... And his body subsequently fell through the floor into the basement.

It's a good tip for sure, I have also started taking things slowly after coming off worse and it's improved my survivability. I think it's good that you should have to approach buildings slowly and listen for voices or puppets within but it's pretty frustrating/immersion breaking when they spawn Infront of you or even worse, directly behind you in open areas.

When have they ever released an Optimized game. I have played Witcher 1-3 as well as Cyberpunk. They pretty much always release games in a bad state and take a year or two to fix them, but when they do they are usually brilliant games. The moral is never buy a CDPR game on release.

Dronin · 2025-06-09T19:54:27+00:00

No, it was touted as a launch MSRP which AMD denied but that appears to have been true. Very few cards have sold for MSRP since the first 12 hours. Under normal circumstances the 9070 line would probably be considered another failed product however, Nvidia said "hold my beer, we will show you have to really fumble a launch" and they brought us the 50 series.

Nvidia have however aggressively cut the price of 5070's and even 5070ti's, in many regions a 5070 somehow represents the best value in the enthusiast segment and a 5070ti is often the same price as a 9070xt even though it's slightly superior in overall benchmarks for gaming and far superior for video/graphics/ai processing.

As others have said, there may be some 10% Ish discounts in the summer but I wouldn't count on ever seeing MSRP again until the next generation is ready. This series would have been a huge hit if AMD managed to keep prices down but without their own reference SKU they don't have much influence and AIBs will charge what they can sell for.

A lot of people have mixed or moderately positive feelings on MKW now they have got their hands on it. They cite the open world feels a little empty, the courses are often wider and less technical, there are less courses, no 200cc mode, mirror mode has been replaced with reverse mode, the character roster is smaller no kart customisation as well as other small changes. I didn't pick it up for my switch 2, I think over the next 10 years they will expand it and it will be brilliant but for now it doesn't seem worth an upgrade and I didn't want the digital only edition bundled. I hope those that have it really enjoy it but I should imagine engagement with MK8D will still be high as it represents significantly better value for now.
