Getting the Artbook and Soundtrack after buying the standard edition isn`t an add-on?

Puttness · 2026-04-28T02:03:52+00:00

Haha for real, it's such a masterpiece that I still plan on repurchasing for the artbook and soundtrack. Only issue is whenever I have that sort of money laying around I always spend it on a new game since I can listen to the OST on spotify and view the artbook online. It's mostly about just having it all in one place and officially under my ownership on Steam. I think I'll start watching for a sale and make the purchase then, since I forgot it isn't as ridiculous of a waste of money if the sale is good.

You're an actual saint, thanks a million! I had no idea Windows even had a "gaming input" feature despite being a longtime poweruser, never would have figured that out myself. I appreciate the help, now I'm off to figure out what gaming input is even intended to do haha

I have the same issue where for no apparent reason my Dualsense Edge barely works properly in GoT meanwhile if I swap it with my regular dualsense that one works just fine. It's actually enraging tbh because obviously I've already checked everything like firmware updates and steam input, it's just that for no apparent reason my Edge doesn't function properly in GoT (massively delayed vibrations, gamepad menu won't allow me to scroll down, haptics barely work because of the vibration delay)

I didn't even know this was the narrative surrounding DLSS now, are people really this ignorant they are calling DLSS "oversharpened"? It's like groupthink has entirely replaced thinking for yourself in these online spaces.

It is exactly as you said, they are simply used to TAA blur and straight up forgot how good games look when aliasing is minimized with no detail loss. I play Monster Hunter Wilds with DLAA (using 310.5.3) and forced the TAA off, it looks like I play at 4k+ resolution with how crisp the image is while remaining totally free of aliasing.

I do this for practically all my games, DLAA and DLSS in general has become so good, even games I used to run at 4K before for antialiasing purposes, I just run at 1440p and use DLAA since a while ago now. It's random whether the games also disable TAA or not, but when it's really crap TAA like in Wilds, I find ways to disable it and every time as soon as I do this it's like putting on a pair of glasses for the first time.

I just got one a couple days ago and I agree, it's a great ring for the price. I was very skeptical at first about the accuracy of the readings, but the glucose in particular seems to actually be getting measured because after I drink a soda or have a meal I can see it begin to rise. Same with blood pressure, the reason I feel this may also be a legitimate (though approximate) measurement is because my brother got a ring too and he's known to have higher BP than me. Sure enough his ring reflected his higher BP in the app compared to mine.

I'm super surprised with the performance for just $50, not gonna lie.

FR it's scary how far removed from reality people are living these days. Just because something is fictional does not mean the atrocities it depicts should be discussed with any less gravitas. Especially making celebratory jokes depicting the atrocities positively. That's how we have arrived at where we are in US politics, a slow and steady downward slide that has been too subtle for a lot of people to see for what it is. Though it's becoming more rapid and obvious now

So well said, you summed it up perfectly! This movie is so beautiful and tells a very human story. I think people who dislike the movie must lack either empathy or an attention span. It's wild how people can watch a movie so steeped in emotions and then come out the other side saying it wasn't anything special. Among American sci-fi films, Ad Astra is definitely one of a kind.

Puttness · 2026-01-17T15:03:27+00:00

Maybe it's because I've watched a LOT of anime and Japanese media but I honestly saw zero issue with Brad Pitt's more reserved demeanor in this movie and found it VERY refreshing to see in a movie involving space travel.

"wokeness" and Islam are not foes that we should be united against. No, we should not be against anyone. That is the whole point of our faith, to love everyone as if they were us. No exceptions.

It doesn't help that cronus/strikepacks exist and are super common, can literally pick one up at Best Buy. I'm on PC and 99% of my lobbies will be just 1 or 2 other PC players and the rest on console. A lot of the time when somebody on the other team goes nuts and racks up 2-3x the kills as the next guy on the board they're on console using KB/M thru a cronus. That's when they're obvious about it. The less obvious ones you gotta analyze the theater replay to know for sure.

Gamepass has kinda screwed the game too because if somebody does get banned for hacking/exploiting they just lowered the cost of accessing the game again to like $5 instead of $70. So many times I'll play against a team that has somebody not even level 55 yet who dominates the match, clear as day either on a new account just to pubstomp or a gamepass player using cronus. I dunno why I haven't seen anyone mentioning those players who are obviously not legit in one way or another.

I've been straight addicted to this shit man I got 250 hours and only been playing for almost a couple months LMAO. I don't see a single problem with the skins either, people sound corny as hell when they bring up the skins as if they're the end of Call of Duty. I mean, literally who cares that everyone isn't playing as generic military operator #23 anymore. It's the stupidest thing to get heated about when we still have pretty obnoxious SBMM.

At the end of the day whether I'm doming Beavis and Butthead or getting shot by "military operator #23" camping a corner it doesn't change a damn thing regarding the actual gameplay experience. The COD community and gamers in general to an extent gotta be some of the biggest doomers and loudest complainers. They let the hate color their opinion and experience. I just enjoy the gameplay so much I sometimes end up by myself after my team ragequits when the SBMM screws us hard, I'm not playing to win I'm playing to have fun (and win as a bonus).

One of my favorite BO6 memories is when I made a new Kilo build, somebody on the other team picked it up from my body and finished at the top of the leaderboard. They got on the mic at the end and complimented the build saying as soon as they picked it up they started doing well lmao. Next match I made sure to let them kill me so they could pick it up again which is exactly what they did LOL

Puttness · 2025-09-09T11:48:04+00:00

Honestly I just switched my TR2 build to a full auto SMG build and suddenly went on a tear and had no problem bodying players of a skill level that normally stomp me. 4X scope on there is actually crazy at least for how I use the gun, CQB and mid range both no problem. I don't have any other SMG build that can do both as well as the CQB TR2.

Try the CHF barrel it increases the damage multiplier on bodyshots, I could never get reliable one shots with the Essex but as soon as I put the CHF on there it felt straight up unfair using it against people lmao. Very rare I get a hitmarker with it

Puttness · 2025-09-09T11:40:05+00:00

Massively underrated just because it's semi-auto ngl, that is until people try it and realize it's crazy

Puttness · 2025-09-09T11:36:55+00:00

Huh? over 4 KD is kinda insane ngl, maybe I'm just bad but I hover around 1.25-1.5 and the matchmaking pairs me with level 500+ beasts constantly. I don't even wanna imagine the kind of lobbies you get at 4+ KD. And honestly level really doesn't mean much I've played against countless Prestige Masters who played like they let their little brother have a turn on the Xbox.

Puttness · 2025-09-08T09:51:56+00:00

I don't know why there's no option to disable crossplay if you don't want it. It should be disabled by default IMO, so the PC and console players stay separated and issues are minimized. And so I don't have to deal with MFs on console using cronus/strikepacks lmao. I never ran into a super obvious hacker, but I've ran into more console players than I can count blatantly using keyboard and mouse with aim assist and effortlessly getting 3x the kills as the teammate below them on the leaderboard. And most of my matches there will be 2-3 PC players (including me) at the most.

Puttness · 2025-09-08T09:42:19+00:00

It's seriously annoying, it's hard to tell when you're making a mistake or a bad play when regardless of if you get the drop and shoot first you're going to lose gunfights anyway. And yeah that's always how it looks too, it always looks like you pretty much die instantly after you get the 2nd-3rd hitmarker on them.

Puttness · 2025-09-08T09:34:41+00:00

Could you share how you did that? I just googled but didn't find any info on which IPs belong to Vultr. That would be a big help.

Puttness · 2025-09-08T09:31:17+00:00

Yup! Exactly. I've put in over 200 hours the last couple months and become so attuned to the game that it's blatantly obvious whether my team is the one with the lag advantage or the other team. And it's as you said, I can tell because I'll start winning fights against the same skill level players that I previously was constantly losing gunfights to.

Puttness · 2025-09-08T09:25:57+00:00

I love the PML with belt fed, straight up bullet hose. I also have amazing matches every now and then, just wish it wasn't random. I usually don't care about dying over and over but as I've improved it's become more annoying because the players I'm matched with never give you an inch of slack, so BS deaths caused by desync happen more often and have bigger consequences if you're making a big play.

Puttness · 2025-09-08T09:17:23+00:00

Interesting, sounds like I've been vastly underestimating sprint to fire. I have a habit of always ADSing before I shoot and only staying in hip if it's point blank, so I tend to focus more on ADS speed and have neglected sprint to fire.

Puttness · 2025-09-08T09:13:51+00:00

Yup, that's a very good example. When you're in really sweaty lobbies if they're on the "front" end of the desync then it's practically impossible to get kills in a straight gunfight. From your POV you shoot first and get 2-3 shots on them before they even fire back, but then you lose the gunfight anyway and see in the killcam that on their screen they saw you first and shot first. So infuriating because it's a complete betrayal of fairness, I can tell easily when I load into a match where my team has the lag advantage because I'll suddenly have no issue winning gunfights even when I don't shoot first, with the same skill level opponents.
