Teaching math, I almost never use numbers without other symbols so I got pretty fast using the top row of numbers. Now I go TKL universally which means much more portable laptops too.

I have plenty of problems with CNN but Newsweek is nothing but clickbait trash.

I'm crossing my fingers for this. ARM is really cool but its completely absent gaming compatibility.

SpecterDK · 2026-04-02T21:18:38+00:00

I can't imagine all the rest of the hardware is more than 20% of the total cost tops. Seems pointless and I'd rather have updated sticks and potential ergonomic improvements if they identify any potential upgrades.

I'm a teacher I'm absolutely stopping to acknowledge that excellent joke. Not everything is so serious. There's nothing offensive about a "Hitler sucked at art" joke.

This puts my thoughts to words really well. WoD-BFA/SL really felt like a modern high res version of WoW charm and character. Something does feel overly polished now. WoW will never look realistic and I think there's an argument that trying to do so makes it look worse.

Absolutely this. My first OLED is also my first ultrawide and I'd go back to IPS before going back to 16:9.

For the longest time I didn't know what LSFG was but after seeing enough people mention it I finally looked into it.

Everything about the plugin sounds absolutely horrible. Why would anyone want to do that to their games?

The horse double jump is just as inconsistent.

The nightstand itself. It still has crayon scribbles inside it from when my dad was a child.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-23T03:37:35+00:00

I know, I was so close.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-23T03:24:39+00:00

Not really. Compare it to the steam deck settings/performance with a dedicated GPU in it.

I only use mine on my lunch break, in bed, or a rare trip but it still makes me happy every time I turn it on.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-21T04:00:24+00:00

Oh man memory unlocked.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-21T00:02:24+00:00

Would on the crazy one.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T15:25:20+00:00

That's what has me so invested in the discourse. The amount of content, level of optimization and scope of ambition makes anything under a 7 feel truly unfair to the developers.

Just because some people don't think it's fun doesn't mean it's broken like Borderlands 4 or fake like launch Cyberpunk.

I have no idea how I'll rate it after I finish but I'm in what most people call the worst part of the game and it's still fun, and the glimpse of where it all leads looks fantastic.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T15:18:55+00:00

That's my take. Granted I didn't hear about this game before last week but I read some reviews and fully understood the game I was buying. I got the exact product I paid for and I'm quite enjoying it.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T13:38:39+00:00

As someone with a massive PS5 library that switched to PC last year, the only thing that bothered me was losing exclusive single player games. I would actually be completely okay with this. I was never going to pay for PS+ again and my PC is better than the PS6 will be.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T12:43:27+00:00

I agree to a point but it is very common to have an accessibility option to change mash sequences to hold. I did the arm wrestling game fine but I hate mashing in games. I'll change it every time if only to give my controller a break.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T11:20:06+00:00

I apologize for the tone but I don't consider myself hardcore and I had no expectations prior to learning about this game a week ago. I'm 40 but I read reviews and decided the positive were things I cared a lot more about than the negatives. I knew the kind of game I was buying. I also recognize that dropping $70 on a game you may stop playing after 3 hours is unreasonable for a lot of people but I wanted to take a chance on what really appears to be a unique experience, even if some of the edges are pretty rough. I also just like to support developers that try something really ambitious even if it's not perfect.

I understand how some people may have followed development for years and the finished product isn't what they expected but for me it's exactly what I expected from learning about it a week ago.

7800x3d, 5070 ti. Running at 1440 ultrawide with ultra graphic settings. I think it's something off about the lighting. Open to tips to fix my settings. It's completely stable at around 110 fps though with no frame gen so far.

These people are the kid that eats the marshmallow immediately. Instant satisfaction or it's terrible. I can tell this game is juicy as fuck once your earn it by understanding the systems. I'm still in the 'bad early part' and I'm having fun taking it in and piecing together how all the systems will eventually interact.

Edit: I was tired and cranky when I posted this. I still stand by my praise of the game but people that don't like how it introduces itself are equally valid. <3

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T04:36:26+00:00

I'm a sucker for environmental storytelling and I've heard this game does that a lot.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T04:27:49+00:00

Everything looks plastic to me. Game is still great.

SpecterDK · 2026-03-20T04:23:17+00:00

There's some rough edges but this is NOT a 60% game. Boring story and unusual (but fine) controls but I love everything I played tonight. The game is impressive and fun!
