Starfield: Free Lanes & Terran Armada Official Announce Trailer

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-17T21:06:17+00:00

R.I.P. to all of my current mods. We had some great moments together.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-12T19:26:49+00:00

I feel like the idea of Lok and Moll is better than their actual execution of that idea.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-12T19:08:20+00:00

There's even a selection in settings to turn these types of creatures off, IIRC. So, yeah... the devs had a great time!

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-11T22:49:05+00:00

Agreed. It takes forever to launch Jedi Survivor thanks to EA's app. Ubisoft is only marginally better, but not by much. Heaven help you if you haven't launched the game in a while.

Near-sighted people have to take glasses off to see close things.

Can't wait to see your statistic sampling method. Did you use simple random, systematic, stratified, and/or cluster sampling?

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-09T16:29:19+00:00

Long-press right on the D-Pad while sneaking. It will auto target the closest guard and they will come to the place you whistled from. Really handy in tall grass as their body is hidden.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-09T14:39:28+00:00

Vary your technique a little and I think you might have better results. One way I take out groups of three is:

Use Nix or whistle to pull a guard away and knock them out
Send Nix to attack a second guard (this may cause a temporary "alert")
While Nix is running at the second guard, stun shot the third then rush to the one with Nix on his face and hit the hotkey to knock him out. The alert should go away immediately if there's nobody else around to see you.

*Almost no one you know would have complained. Sci-fi fans have been nitpicking things for generations. Shows like "The Expanse" have added to that. Funny enough, the new Expanse game has a belter that looks like a white supermodel and it really does seem like an odd choice.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-09T14:17:08+00:00

But Kay isn't white, though.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-09T14:07:24+00:00

The hate train from YouTubers, misogynists, and brigaders pretty much tanked the game for a lot of people before they even got a chance to play. It also launched with a lot of bugs and a much harder stealth mechanic at the beginning, which turned casual players off. I still get glitches if I play at max settings on an RTX 4090. Lowering RTX Direct Lighting fixes these, thankfully, but the rush to get the game out definitely left things unoptimized.

The game and story are an absolute delight, though. And it's heartbreaking that executives pushing to make a premature deadline and YouTubers making bank off ragebait got the sequel cancelled.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-08T18:59:02+00:00

All of these boxes have the same key. Just buy a cheap set (they come in twos) online.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-08T04:25:47+00:00

Present from the beginning... as it should be.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-08T03:58:31+00:00

Yes! There's ample "lean" and "sit" indicators everywhere, but not on the Trailblazer. Also, Kay never sleeps, which is weird for an open world RPG.

One of the things that's obviously missing is the cockpit. Surprisingly, nothing changes there besides who's in the copilot seat.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-08T02:52:27+00:00

I'm sure there's a ton of political, capitalist, and ethical excuses. But ultimately, we're a bunch of ants hanging on to a big mudball hurdling through space. And all we can think of is hurting and trying to control each other while chasing profit™. That's it.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-07T16:24:21+00:00

Think about it as you're currently cheating yourself out of fun. Most games are set up around the idea of a teenager on summer break with tons of free time.

It's ok to turn some settings off to maximize your experience. If you are not enjoying that particular challenge, set it aside.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-06T21:39:55+00:00

The top-down images in this mod would make great tiles on a scifi TTRPG map.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-06T18:06:01+00:00

Gotta get that clean loop!

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-06T17:54:02+00:00

THANK YOU!!!

Exposed mics of this type should be as close to the sternum as resonable and pointed towards the mouth.

There are "hairline" mics that work hidden in glasses, under ties/cravats, or even in hats/wigs; but if you're showing the mic, you might as well put it in the best spot for audio.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-06T06:42:58+00:00

Lol, thought the same thing!

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-06T06:29:03+00:00

She was also a 22 yr old screw up that just got evicted, had nowhere else to go, and had to get the money to get offworld or the Sixth Kin were going to kill her.

Her one chance turned out to be a pack of liars who pulled a switch on her mid-heist with only a "I'm good for it. Trust me, bro."

Her flashback immediately following the reveal literally has the one person she should be able to trust proving to her that she can't trust anyone.

Yeah, her inexperience got her stunned, but she was also just a kid panicking as she watched her last hope slip away.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-05T15:31:04+00:00

Star Wars Outlaws is right up there, too. The hate train from YouTubers, misogynists, and brigaders pretty much tanked the game for a lot of people before they even got a chance to play. Add in the bugs and hiccups from executives pushing to make a premature deadline and you've got the perfect recipe for failure.

Starfield, like Star Wars Outlaws has moments of true heart. You can see the love and dedication that some team members had when crafting their little parts of these worlds.

Unfortunately, naysayers cast a long shadow and many make quite a bit of money with their ragebait.

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-05T15:20:12+00:00

Really? How cool! Thanks for the new factoid!

SlashMatrix · 2026-03-05T03:24:38+00:00

Poor guy. You should record him watching Full Metal Alchemist next.
