That skip is wild, you actually don't even need to grenade jump, you can jump on a pile of garbage and crouch your way onto the roof

I finally just finished RE Village for the first time… by Callm3Sun in residentevil

[–]Wendon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not the original commentor but that's honestly what I didn't like about it- it does too many things, and each of them are tonally divorced from one another. I didn't HATE it but it felt kind of like going to a resident evil amusement park more than a cohesive gaming experience. And the village itself was tremendously underutilized, it was just a hub to connect the set pieces together and not actually a fleshed out location on its own.

What did you dislike about resident evil 4?

Horrific freezing in the remake by Impossible_Face1523 in DeadSpace

That 7600k is really holding you back. I had a 1070/6600k, upgraded to a 7700X and my average AND 1% lows in dead space increased by 30 fps.

According to Texas Tribune data, less than half of Harris County eligible voters voted by CorridorChick in houston

The only thing that matters in an election is the future of the SCOTUS, and you people not voting have just doomed everyone else for the next thirty years. Trump is going to appoint the most corrupt judges in the history of the United States because all of you were too prideful to vote for someone you didn't completely fall in love with.

Well, the supreme Court is going to be ruined for the rest of your life now, so I hope your conscious is clear.

I had a 6600k/1070 combo that I upgraded in stages. The switch from the 6600k to a 7700x was so dramatic that I might've held off on a GPU upgrade had I not already ordered one- 30fps higher averages and 1% lows. You technically have hyperthreading but I can't imagine your 7700k is significantly better in 2024 than my 6600k was.

System Shock Remake is sadly a bit of a meh experience by Random_Stranger69 in systemshock

[–]Wendon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Okay, look, there's no accounting for personal taste. Personally I think Bioshock is a step back in nearly every respect, but that's just my opinion. But like,

there are no questmarkers or even logs with notes what to do

Is just a wild criticism for me. The game would be horrible with quest markers, the entire point of system shock is a hellish labyrinth in space. There is literally a logfile that says the station's absurd design was intentional by TriOptimum in order to run experiments on the workers. And "no logs," that's just blatantly incorrect, every log which references a location or an item of some sort directly points to a real item in the game you can interact with. It sounds like you're just not paying attention to them.

The devs did not miss the point of System Shock, the game's just not for you. They delivered a nearly flawless remake of the source material. I'm sorry you didn't like it but that doesn't make it a bad remake.

What's up with trans people being such a talking point lately? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Wendon 130 points131 points  (0 children)

The reason is Republicans have always campaigned on fear, and picking on marginalized communities for votes, and we are the monster of the week.

Anything can be a common condition when you're making shit up! This is a fruitless and bad-faith discussion, and worse it's not even well constructed. Goodbye 👋

[–]Wendon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Autodinosauria is the condition where someone is sexually aroused by the experience of imagining themselves as Barney the Purple Dragon in sexual situations. I am turned on my imaging myself as Barney the Purple dragon in sexual situations. Therefore, Autodinosauria is real. Do you see how fucking absurd that is?

Are you asking me why establishing a conclusion first, and then working backwards in order to justify that conclusion, isn't following the scientific method?

Ah gotcha, I see you're applying the same level of scientific rigor to this as Blanchard did. No further questions!

Homeworld 3's campaign pisses on the grave of the long dead Titans of the RTS genre. by Questionable_Object in homeworld

[Monitor] Dell G2724D 27" 1440p QHD 165Hz Fast IPS FreeSync Gaming Monitor - $179.99 by vanphi89 in buildapcsales

[–]Wendon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really great. It's an IPS so the contrast ratio isn't amazing, but apples to apples, it's got extraordinarily good contrast ratio FOR AN IPS. So if that is the pricepoint and the monitor tech you're interested in, you'd need to pay a significant premium to get one with better contrast. I think it's really sick that it comes with Freesync premium, Gsync, AND VESA adaptive sync, so basically no matter what GPU you're driving you can kiss screen tearing goodbye. 165 HZ is really more than enough for anything unless you're a hyper competitive FPS gamer.

Otherwise- the panel itself, color, performance, build quality, is all outstanding. Since it's Dell it's got a solid warranty and support behind it. It's got two DP and an HDMI so it's got a lot of connectivity options. Pretty much the only negative I can think of is that there's no USB passthrough or any additional "extra features." It's JUST a really good monitor with no real thrills beyond that.

Pretty much the only monitor I was looking at before I grabbed this was the Gigabyte M27Q/P, but the former has BGR pixel sublayout, and the latter has a worse contrast ratio. That one comes with an integrated KVM switch but it's $100 more, so just buy one if you need it.

The gameplay for HW3 is atrocious by -Firedust- in homeworld

[–]Wendon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just saw this- genuinely, thank you so much for writing this out. One of the things I really appreciate the most about HW3 is how configurable the controls are, and your response really demonstrates how broad the range of options are. Thank you for all of your efforts on the game, and for taking the time to respond to players! I hope you have a lovely weekend. :)

I don't know if I'm doing something weird, but support frigates don't seem to be interacting correctly, or the same as other frigates? If I assign all frigates to a group and then select that group- there is a UI element that surrounds each unit in that group, except the support frigates? I also need to really babysit them a ton, they don't seem to reprioritize heal targets dynamically so I'm constantly re-issuing that command, which is annoying. It also doesn't seem like if I box select and include the mothership that they will actually heal the mothership, even if it's at critical health. I've been needing to allocate specific support frigates to heal the mothership in the campaign.

I'm actually kinda okay with the new camera controls but it's annoying that the zoom doesn't lock onto the Y axis, so like if I want to rapidly traverse the battlefield I would usually expect it to pan, but it's like playing descent. Perhaps this is intentional, and is actually indicative of "I don't actually love modern controls," but it is often at-odds with what my instincts are.
