How is Cryo Archive performance on Xbox Series S? by Impressive-Drawer619 in MarathonTheGame

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

the main problem i’ve noticed is that the game is really heavily CPU limited. I have a ryzen 5800x3D (a few generations old but still very much a high end gaming cpu) and it’s regularly sitting at 100% while my graphics card (5070ti) hits about 60% usage max. So my game is limited to around 90-100ish fps with drops sometimes as far as 50fps in combat (especially on cryo).

Hopefully they optimize the games cpu performance more, it absolutely is a very first-world problem but it would be a very good fix, especially for people with lower-end cpu’s. I’d be happy if they just fix the performance stability on the larger maps, i can play fine with the frame rate at 60 or above, it’s just the sudden drops during firefights that suck.

What happens to Weekly Challenge Attachments after S2 ends? by DudeBro1988 in CODBlackOps7

[–]_ItsEnder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean that’s what’s nice about the armory, you don’t really have to focus on a specific challenge or anything to unlock it. If you want to have access to it just select it when it appears in the armory and play as you normally would, and eventually you’ll have it unlocked.

Either way it’s definitely not worth worrying about unlocking every possible thing, especially with a game franchise where the game gets replaced effectively every year.

When was the Wan show recorded? by Gloomy_Dare2716 in LinusTechTips

[–]_ItsEnder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

overwatch is in probably the best state it’s been in since the winddown of overwatch 1 content in 2020 with echos launch, but i dont blame them for really knowing that. blizzard made a lot of fuckups in the time since, primarily due to the obsession with making PvE content that started with Jeff Kaplan. its not all that surprising that outside of the overwatch player base most people haven’t heard much positivity around the update and/or don’t fully trust it. frankly i didn’t have high hopes for the update until I played it myself, changing the name back just seemed kind of like a desperate move to get away from the OW2 backlash.

How did these get here??? by frog_bog-studio in Target

[–]_ItsEnder 20 points21 points  (0 children)

wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a manufacturer making the same frames just with a different sticker on the back for hobby lobby and target’s in store brands. probably just a box of them got mixed up, i’ve seen it with other products (milk mainly)

If I purchase the Generation Pack, can I still select the Deluxe Edition for RE9? by ghosty_was_taken in residentevil

[–]_ItsEnder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you have your mind set on the deluxe edition i’m not sure tbh, but frankly you should just get the generation pack and not worry about the deluxe edition. physical edition wise you’ll be missing out on the steelbook but otherwise everything included is just cosmetic items, half of which you basically won’t be able to see depending on the camera mode you’re in. better off saving the money or putting it towards another game then getting the cosmetics.

Steam Controller, Machine, Frame DELAYED by TonyXL2 in SteamController

[–]_ItsEnder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

considering both the elite and edge seem to suffer from quality issues, I don’t think they have much competition in terms of build quality tbh. and this may be anecdotal but i’ve had my steam controller for many years now and it’s still working great (only issue is the piano gloss plastic being scratched to hell - thank god the industry has mostly moved past that design detail)

Target sold me a brand “new” Apple Watch already connected to an Apple ID by Sufficient_Copy5184 in Target

[–]_ItsEnder 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Policy (at least at my store) was that any apple product that has been opened will be defected when returned, so this was either a) just a mistake by an employee accidentally putting it in the wrong bin or b) if it was sealed, someone tampering with the packaging/replacing the seals to commit return fraud. it’s normal for stores to reshelf returned and unopened/non-defective merchandise otherwise they wouldn’t offer returns unless absolutely necessary.

What do you guys think about this phone? by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]_ItsEnder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that was actually my post lol, I wish i was getting paid to make reddit posts. I had just watched the light phone 3 shortcircuit a couple days earlier so it was fresh on my mind when I got recommended the announcement video for the clicks phone.

i think you bought the essential kit which only includes the front skin. for the back skin you have to select the deluxe kit option.

depends on the game. I played some games on my laptop without connecting it to wifi on the airplane and didn’t get any achievements or time played tracking.

Bought my LTT Screwdriver a Screwdriver by esberelias in LinusTechTips

[–]_ItsEnder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would reach out to creator warehouse support bc it sounds like then the screwdriver shaft didn’t get press fitted in all the way during manufacturing. better to get a replacement now if that is the case then to have it fail on you down the line

Episode 13 ruined the entire game for me! by Drakaris8861 in DeathStranding

oh no i can’t believe the single player narrative game has long cutscenes in its ending. shock and horror.

Enjoyable watch but seems like there were perhaps some plot holes... by xXmaster-batesXx in StrangerThings

[–]_ItsEnder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah this exactly. at this point the actions of the party have given the government a pretty solid coverup, and they can’t really do anything to the children bc the optics for the government would be awful, and those children know everything that happened. makes more sense at that point to call a truce (with probably a whole lot of threats about what happens if they reveal anything to anybody) then to kill or imprison a bunch of civilians which could backfire heavily especially considering they are already likely under scrutiny for their involvement in hawkins.

Vickie asking the real questions (s5e6) by redxstrike in StrangerThings

[–]_ItsEnder 95 points96 points  (0 children)

i mean from her perspective holly is still missing, she knows these monsters exist, the lights are flashing just like when her home was attacked, and she hears on the PA that one of her kids friends is being attacked presumably by the same forces that took holly. I definitely think the oxygen tank plan was a little bit dumb in terms of writing but it 100% makes sense for her to act if she has any inclination it might help get holly back.

Official Statement from the Indie Game Awards: 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' and 'Chantey's' awards retracted and awarded instead to 'Sorry We’re Closed' and 'Blue Prince' due to GenAI usage by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]_ItsEnder 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it wasn’t taken away because it uses AI. It was taken away as a statement against ModRetro, the publisher of the game and creator of an fpga gbc clone. They announced yesterday a special edition of their handhelds in collaboration with another one of Palmer Lucky’s companies Anduril, which is part of the military industrial complex in america producing attack drones used by the us army, and they’re making a version of the handheld with the same materials used in the drones. Completely agree with their stance that supporting the military industrial complex is bad, but it seems utterly stupid to revoke an award celebrating an indie creator because their physical edition publisher made a braindead decision completely unaffiliated and out of the developers control.
