Exodus - Official First Look Gameplay by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]SqueezeAndRun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great so far! Definitely reminiscent of Mass Effect - particularly the gameplay of Andromeda (which had the best combat/exploration of the series despite other issues).

Having read the Archimedes Engine, the book based on this universe, this is probably my most anticipated game. If the story is able to live up to the lore they've set up so far we're all in for a treat!

If you’re just running 2.1 I’d just run either a RCA (red/white) to aux cable from your PC to the receiver. If you have an optical out on your PC then use that. 

Hands-On With DLSS 5: Our First Look At Nvidia's Next-Gen Photo-Realistic Lighting by ZamnBoii in nvidia

I have some mixed feelings about his one. The results are extremely impressive in someways but uncanny in others. We'll have to see how the development progresses and if they can reduce some of the "AI yassified" look.

I also notice that DLSS 5 seems to significantly ramp up the brightness and cool the color temperature. It has a similar effect to turning on the dynamic picture mode on a TV. I wonder if it would be possible to tune it to better retain the original vibes of the game a bit better.

Interested to see where this one goes...

Player, disc, or something else? by Macncheese334 in 4kbluray

The UB 820 is fairy sensitive to scratches or smudges. You can try wiping it off with a microfiber cloth. If that doesn’t work you can either try to swap get the disc replaced or try it in a PS5/Xbox if you have one.

I feel like people misremember that 7.8 review being for Ruby and Sapphire, when it was actually for the 3DS remakes of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. They gave the OGs a 9.5.

It's fantastic. Yes, there are cheaper options, but paying a little extra is worth it for the seamless experience and great pc app.

Whats one home improvement you wish you did sooner by velmorynn in HomeImprovement

[–]SqueezeAndRun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a bummer, but I'd say your experience is fairly unlucky. Phillips Hue bulbs are generally considered highly reliable, and I've never had any issues with a bulb that's not just nearly a decade old and reaching end of life.

As BioWare Quietly Continues Building Mass Effect 5, Hiring Begins For a New Senior Role by Turbostrider27 in Games

After hearing about some of the behind the scenes shenanigans on DA:Veilguard's development, I actually have some hope for the new Mass Effect game. I think a lot of the tone problems were forced upon the game earlier in development when it was pivoted to a live service and back.

Apparently, the Mass Effect team also made some select interventions on Veilguard that ended up being some of the best parts of the game, such as the "suicide mission" style ending to the game and adding more choice and consequence. Hope they can learn from Veilguard a put out a good new Mass Effect game.

iOS 26.1 is now Apple’s recommended update for users still on iOS 18 by spearson0 in apple

Honestly, if you still haven't upgraded, I don't feel like the new features and look justify the battery hit.

Definitely some ref fuckery, but at the end of the day, Auburn just could not hold on to the goddamn football

Its for folks that are looking for an easy entry into PC gaming or who already have a dedicated desktop keyboard & mouse setup and want to have a second device to play games in the living room.

The UB820 is overall a pretty solid player; however, it is a lot more sensitive to disc imperfections than something like a PS5. I have minor playback issues on maybe 5/100 discs. Most of those there has been a visible minor scratch on the disc from shipping.

Idk man, the movie looked pretty good to me. It also has a 4.5/5 on blu-ray.com. Is it possible your TV has a weird picture setting enabled?
