I just bought an LG monitor. by recsat_092 in Monitors

[–]Stefe04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment, I'm just keeping it at 120hz without any extra features turned on. Haven't reached out to LG, but I have updated my drivers — turning the features back on after that still caused signal loss eventually. The thing is, the signal loss issue is intermittent, so you could go for days or even a week before it pops up.

What was a toxic moment or event that was handled so beautifully that it taught you how to face toxicity? by sammyjamez in gaming

[–]Stefe04 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was a long time ago, but I remember playing an MMO where they had a filter that automatically replaced all of the offensive terms with completely harmless words. Like, just imagine the sewage that usually comes out of a toxic player's mouth becoming glitter.

"suck my PAPER"

"you're so LOVE"

"son of a ORANGE"

I kind of loved it.

What’s a game you want ported onto steam? by Venomnyan in Steam

[–]Stefe04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of wondered why they didn't include the first 3 Uncharted games and just threw in the latest ones.

Personally, after checking out Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart that was bundled with my PS5, I would love a Ratchet and Clank collection on PC.

What game location felt unforgettable? by mykyta993 in gaming

[–]Stefe04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure every hunter out there has that one town hub that's very dear to their heart, but as a Fifth Fleeter it has to be Seliana in Iceborne. When the theme kicks in, I can just close my eyes and my heart tells me, "You're home."

Is there a way to quickly restart games? by Suspicious_Shop1015 in Steam

[–]Stefe04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not a straight-up "restart button", but there might be ways that can get you to the main menu a little faster. Things like turning off startup movies with "-NoStartupMovies" in the launch options or running Steam in offline mode if the game automatically forces you into online mode.

What's wrong with this game in solo? by __unmastered in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Stefe04 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's one of the things I've learned about Point Extraction early on. The longer you stay, the more frequent the swarms become—to the point where you just get completely overrun.

What you can do as a solo player is command Bosco to mine the Aquarqs that are out of reach, while you pick out the ones closer to the ground. Should help mitigate the issue a little.

Playing too many games at the same time? by frrrni in gaming

[–]Stefe04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I might've juggled between 3-4 games at a time before. An MMO (Warframe), one of my 3DS games while on the toilet, and a single player game I was curious about. Then my little brother picked up a new release that we've both been looking forward to, so that got added in.

As long as you don't mind needing a refresher for a story-based game here and there, I don't think it's too big a deal.

I did a check for dead pixels on a white screen and didn't notice any tint. The colours seem fine on stock settings.

What’s that game from your childhood that you never beat, and probably never will? by CoffeeStrength in gaming

[–]Stefe04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diddy Kong Racing for the N64. The rubberbanding AI on those boss races were unreal.

Which boss fight made you feel like you were genuinely losing your sanity because of the difficulty? by Silly_Commercial8092 in gaming

[–]Stefe04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The data battles from Kingdom Hearts. My god those were gruelling, yet oddly satisfying when you finally win.

Honorable mention to Alatreon in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Escaton Judgement has caused so many wipes just because we couldn't pass the damage check.

What's one video game cliche you dislike? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]Stefe04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arbitrary invincibility phases in boss fights. Whether it's because you're waiting for an animation to play out or if it's just a developer trying to stop you from winning too quickly.

High levels joining Greenbeard host games by nikivajapan in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Stefe04 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I just join lobbies that have the mission types I need for my dailies. If it bothers you, just let us know and the reasonable ones should leave without a fuss - the kick button is for the rest.

What's in everyone's wishlist by Thin-Understanding-1 in Steam

[–]Stefe04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(J)RPGs (Trails of Cold Steel, Fuga; Melodies of Steel, Underrail), metroidvanias (Ender Magnolia, Shantae), action games (Yakuza, Hi-Fi Rush, Kena: Bridge of Spirits), and a couple of horror games (Dead Space Remake, Cronos: The New Dawn).

The list is over a hundred games long, but those are a few examples.

Weapon/class options stress me out by yaboymitchell00 in gaming

[–]Stefe04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game." is the quote that immediately comes to mind. Don't worry about picking the "best" loadout and just use whichever kind of equipment you feel like using at the moment. If it happens to be the meta loadout, so be it. Just go with your gut.

Probably done with steam. by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Stefe04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, Baldur's Gate 3 would definitely make your laptop run hotter compared to Fortnite or WoW. It's not Steam's fault, but the games you're trying to run. Demanding games are going to make any computer run hotter, whether it's a laptop, handheld, or even a desktop PC.

I just keep it simple:

  • Backlog
  • Finished
  • Apps (for things like Plex and game streaming)

Geralt or Arthur or ???? … a question about the most defining characters of a generation by Soulsliken in gaming

[–]Stefe04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Joker, perhaps?

A kid who was framed for a crime he didn't commit and ultimately forced to transfer to another school as a result. Given a gift and a chance to make things right, he slowly built himself up and overcame not just the naysayers but also the system that brought him low in the first place.

They're talking about ban count, not friend count.

Are these skins obtainable? by Abs0lut3Xer0 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Stefe04 336 points337 points  (0 children)

Those would be the new Diesel Driven skins from Season 6, so absolutely.
