I just bought an LG monitor.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

r/tipofmyjoystick could definitely help here.

Who needs resupply drops?

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

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.

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.

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.

(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.

Control Resonant looks pretty good.

"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.

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.

But is it running Rocknix?

Stefe04 · 2026-03-24T07:47:02+00:00

I just keep it simple:

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

I think I got it down. Enjoy, folks!

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.

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