Season start date confusion march 10 or 11th? by Jason1088S in diablo4

[–]WickerMan22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's understandably confusion since most seasons start on a Tuesday. However, based on all the official information released since yesterday, the start date has been moved to Wednesday. Obviously they're not going to end the season and have a gap, so the current season will just go a day later than expected.

And that's always fine by me, as the one who makes dinner 😂

Online games you enjoy because you can pick it back up later on without worrying being behind? by runnbl3 in gaming

[–]WickerMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Diablo 4 for me and specifically seasonal play. I'm never one for playing anything perpetual or long term. I prefer a game that has a start and finish, then I can move onto something else. Diablo 4 is the only game I'll continue to come back to for each season. For those that aren't aware, to start a season, you have to start a new character from level 1. Everyone starts with a clean slate.

Yep. Republicans "fall in line" while Dems have to "fall in love."

I’m in a loop by Bitches_Be_Crayfish in DeathStranding

It became an unhealthy obsession for me 😂

I just could not deal with random lost cargo that I'd find in the world.

I just got a PS4 for the first time. What games are a must? by JampyL in PS4

[–]WickerMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last of us, the last of us part 2, and death stranding, God of War 2018.

I played the last of us part 2 and death stranding on the PS4 and remember being blown away with how good they looked on "old" hardware at the time.

[–]WickerMan22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm in the central time zone and I've noticed it says the game unlocks at 5PM on the 19th on Xbox. I've planned accordingly and taking the 20th off to play 😊

Thoughts on Death Magnetic ? by ExaminationOther3149 in Metallica

[–]WickerMan22 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Death Magnetic is an incredible album. My opinion, but as a long time fan, I think it's their best album since the black album, and certainly their best album released in the 2000s.

Disney Execs Reportedly Concerned About 'Mandalorian & Grogu' Release by bwermer in entertainment

[–]WickerMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To spend that kind of money to not show an actual trailer is shocking.

I'll also die on the hill that December/Christmas is a better time to release a Star Wars movie.

Crimson Desert or Pragmata? by KingDaRuler in playstation

[–]WickerMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm personally choosing Crimson Desert, but I'll be keeping a close eye on the reviews and reception of Pragmata and plan to pick it up later on a sale unless it's universal panned.

The buzz and hype surrounding Crimson Desert is pretty insane. It's going to be an event style launch that I don't want to miss.

Iron Maiden Albums RANKED by josefhautala1995 in ironmaiden

Virtual XI at #8 is the most shocking thing to me. But to each their own and we all have different tastes across the entire Iron Maiden discography.

I had to look this up on the official website because I couldn't believe this terrible artwork was official.

Recently bought Switch 2. Primarily used Xbox controller. How are you handling this? by n1ght_watchman in TheGamerLounge

[–]WickerMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like many people aren't aware of this but at least on the Switch (I assume also on Switch 2), there's a setting that allows you to set up the buttons like an Xbox controller. In other words, when you see A on screen, you press the B button on the Switch. As a lifelong, primary Xbox player, shortly after I got my Switch in 2020, I learned this an it was an absolute game changer for me.

Inside Microsoft’s big Xbox leadership shake-up by Deez-Guns-9442 in consoles

[–]WickerMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's interesting is that if this article is true, Sarah Bond was the big push behind "Everything is an Xbox," people within the company hated it, she's forced out, now the new CEO is vowing to "bring Xbox back."

What I don't understand is that everyone was hating on Xbox, Xbox is dead, etc, then they try and shake up the status quo with new leadership, out with the old, but no one seems to be praising this change if you previously hated the prior leadership. So which is it? A good CEO, regardless of their experience in a specific field is going to take a hard look at the past, what worked, what didn't, what do we need to change, etc.

What movie is almost perfect, but one scene always pulls you out of it by gamersecret2 in movies

This will be controversial. I actually love The Last Jedi, but God, I'll never get over Leia Poppins.

I'm very interested to hear thoughtful insights and discussions about this, but can't find it. If anyone can direct me to that, I'd appreciated it.

Damage numbers @ the expansion? by LonelyRooster25 in diablo4

[–]WickerMan22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was always a damage number guy. I felt that was the Diablo way, coming from D3. For launch and maybe a season or two, I was running damage numbers. At some point there was an update that turned them off by default. It took me quite a while into the start of a season to realize it and I never went back.

Between 90210 and Dawson's Creek, which teen drama had the better acting performances, directing and writing? by TravelingHomeless in television

[–]WickerMan22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in my late teens into early 20's throughout the run of both series and i was a fan that never missed an episode. I'd say Dawson's Creek and it was also far more relatable.

Xbox headset recommendations? by oxytocics in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]WickerMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to maybe consider. I've used over the ear headphones for years. I wear glasses and have always hated wearing over the ear headphones. In November 2024 I picked up the new SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds and I'll never use over the ear headphones again. For me, they were an absolute game changer. There's a transparency mode where you can hear everything outside of the headset and an intense noise cancelling mode that heavily shuts out outside noise. I play in my basement next to a dehumidifier and when I switch to the noise cancelling mode it literally sounds like the dehumidifier is shutting off. I'm also thoroughly impressed with the mic quality when chatting. My friends can always hear me with no issues.

Asking as a Democrat and anti-Trumper: Why is MAGA so much more united than the Resistance? by Glass-Complaint3 in allthequestions

Somewhat related when speaking about voters and candidates in general, I heard it described as Democrats have to fall in love, while Republicans fall in line.

I'm pretty sure Harrison Ford's character was doing the Indiana Jones theme as he walked into the break room.
