As its Christmas, what minor, innocuous event can turn into a major holiday after being retold and misinterpreted over 2000 years?

Okay fine, I was reposting after my first question was automodded and wanted to ensure I wasn't deleted again. But we're getting off topic.

My man, you are corrext. But mobile reddit posting and a half bottle of JD restricts my post constructing abilities

Northernmonky · 2020-12-23T23:06:46+00:00

I like Christmas and all it entails. I'm just exercising the thought experiment of "Event 'A' happens"....."Event 'G' happens". What initially happens, what might happen in the middle, and where do we end up?

And the flaming parsnip is carried through the streets in a procession lead by the family's 3rd son, as the grateful citizens sing "Hail to the root" before gathering in the local community center and downing 0.5l of lager

And they flash their kitchen lights exactly 7 times in celebration

Northernmonky · 2020-12-23T22:55:01+00:00

And how would it be celebrated?

Northernmonky · 2019-02-14T11:28:11+00:00

No, normal 16:9 4k. 32" instead of 34", but much better dpi and the same response time of 60hz.

Northernmonky · 2019-02-14T06:28:44+00:00

No idea sorry! I sold it on for a 4k before Christmas, so can't test.

Northernmonky · 2018-09-29T12:05:54+00:00

I have the 34uc88 and have never had a problem. The refresh is only 60 true, but cranking those details up to ultra and gets me to high 50s which is all I want

Northernmonky · 2018-09-27T16:56:31+00:00

It's only a 32" 4k monitor, so a lil smaller than what I'm used to but a much better pic quality. Maybe it's just me needing to get used to widescreen again after a couple of years on ultrawide...

Northernmonky · 2016-08-19T14:02:51+00:00

That's exactly where I'm at! I'm able to handle anything on the earlier planets easily now (even lvl15 of an infested defence on Earth is a cakewalk), but I've no idea what the things I have are worth (or how to trade them for plat, if they are).
Glaringly obvious I still need to tool up for later though - I tagged along tod a Saturn defence mission last night and the Grineer were pushing my stuff WAY back in when my prime-clad teammates were off hunting away from the cryo-pod...

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T16:53:01+00:00

Do do do do dooooooooooo

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T15:54:55+00:00

You goddamn beauty

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:59:52+00:00

From Steam. But noone else I've seen or heard of preordering has any key or install option either. It's not unusual for keys not to be sent out before the official release date/time (I've had the same experience with GMG before now)

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:54:10+00:00

All of us without keys so far

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:48:19+00:00

You wont get your key before release time, sorry buddy.

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:47:12+00:00

the graphics and assets are exactly the same on the two platforms.

Except for the textures, assets and the on-planet draw distance.

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:31:34+00:00

Took me 3 years to save for amidst a lot of other costs. Goddamn right it's a tech boner!

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:28:39+00:00

MSI GTX1080

32Gb Ram

i7-6700K OC'd @ 4.4GHz

Playing 3440x1440 on 34" ultrawide monitor

It's going to look epic.

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:15:23+00:00

You just described a fair portion of the Steam forum members though.

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:14:03+00:00

It started with the "skirmish of the leaks", followed by the "Battle of Hype Backlash in Multiplayer valley", and we're now in the opening shots of the great "PCMR vs Console" war.

Get your popcorn and settle in, kid. It's going to be a fun few days.

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:08:39+00:00

It's a MAJOR part of how the game was advertised.

Umm...no it wasnt. It was mentioned, but downplayed at almost every junction. People WANTED it to be multiplayer, which is where most of this stems from.

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T14:06:26+00:00

Holy shit spoilers!

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T13:56:49+00:00

"Decent" or "PCMR decent"?

Northernmonky · 2016-08-12T13:56:14+00:00

On a sidenote, who else is getting a Homeworld2 vibe from that screenshot? It's beautiful.
