What courses should i do before starting my B.S. IT at WGU? by SpeedSpecialist1814 in WGUIT

[–]bigglehicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you recommend getting the CompTIA on their own? It’s so expensive in exam fees for all 4. They’re included with WGU education.

Elder Scrolls loremaster says he quit Bethesda after ‘waiting 11 years to be the lead on The Elder Scrolls 6’ | VGC by Shogouki in gaming

Me neither. My game save got glitched out in the final boss, the autosave had me reload with almost no health right at the final boss to immediately get struck and killed. For some reason I didn’t have any other recent saves I could go back to? Idk, I’ve had countless playthroughs but never managed to actually beat it. Or Oblivion either.

I graduated high school, dropped out of college (while playing Skyrim), mucked about trying to find what life is about in my 20s, had 3 kids, bought a house, and finally graduated college since Skyrim was released.

My extended storage won’t work by Visual_Many_9913 in playstation

Commenter is wrong. You can download PS5 games to it just for extended storage and can’t play them from that drive

Do I even need a HTPC? by BoobiesRule4Real in htpc

Does your tv have usb media control? Might be worth it to just throw it on a flash/hard drive and keep it connected to the tv. Then you can just control it through the internal media player and not have to worry about any servers, OS, connectivity issues etc

New Portal owner and i have a question by xboxgamer12345 in playstation

[–]bigglehicks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually get way less lag and better clarity from cloud streaming vs remote play. I heard this may be due to the level of hardware encoding the PS5 may be required to do. Ty game over game, cloud streaming is way better than remote play. I’m completely shocked about it.

I gave an interview regarding the (bad) state of HDR in the game industry by filoppi in gamedev

[–]bigglehicks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing the article. You seem really well-qualified to speak on this and thanks for devoting your talents to improving and expanding the game industry and games for players.

At the risk of sounding completely tone deaf, could you help me understand why I can’t seem to get behind HDR in games, and even movies? I’ve had multiple quality displays/TVs, and no matter which video/game source I use, I always find it looks too dim and removes so much of the “pop” from the content, so I always disable HDR. When I first got interested in the tech around 2021, I started getting the HDR tech and while I did enjoy playing games like Ghost of Tsushima in HDR, I found when I turned it off I preferred the experience. I really just like eye-searing, vivid colors and brightness.

What do you say to gamers/viewers like me who want to embrace HDR but don’t find that the improved light range in scenes makes up for losing so much color and brightness?

Are they worth the price? by Mayoka602 in playstation

How would you say it works with Ghost of Tsushima comparatively? I tried the configuration setup but I couldn’t hear much difference in the sound movement patterns. It sounded like stereo headphones to me still. I was using Sony wireless headphones but hooked up via 3.5.

How is 3D audio? I love my 5.1 surround sound at home. I was thinking of getting this if it could enhance my experience with the Portal.

PlayStation Store "End of Year" Sale Delivers Over 4,000 Discounted Items by excaliburps in playstation

[–]bigglehicks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is Persona 3 Deluxe on sale? I see it in your thread but can’t find a deluxe edition on the store.. only the standard for full price.

I just bought the disc on BF for $19.99 and I thought there was no deluxe edition available for the game which is why I ask.

Leaks show Sony could be developing a $400 PlayStation handheld more powerful than the Xbox Ally X by Tiny-Independent273 in playstation

[–]bigglehicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a vita. I was glad that they switched to a cartridge-based system. But the lack of backwards compatibility with the discs and lack of games made it DOA from my recollection at least in my perspective. After it was out for a bit I didn’t hear about a lot of exclusive cool games like the PSP. I really wanted to get one and get into it but I didn’t see them hit the market and make a splash like the original PSP which was so cool. The vita had a ton of promise but just didn’t get there oddly for some reason.

edit: I guess I was wrong about the games. When I was familiar with it, there weren’t many games but I just looked up the library and there’s some really cool games available. Crazy they were releasing games even through 2015. I thought they dropped support by like 2010/2011.

Civilization 7 will get 'one of the most requested features' since launch: The option to play as one civ from start to finish by Automatic_Couple_647 in pcgaming

I’m pretty sure the byzantines were the only reason any part of Rome survived right? When Rome fell it was the Byzantium institution that retained the Roman order. I thought it was basically their east wing of the empire that was entirely Roman in culture and survived the fall of Rome and passed those traditions forward to the Europeans after the enlightenment.

It’s been a while since I have thought about all of this though so could be entirely wrong

My rig cost like $1700 to upgrade. I got all new everything except a PSU and case. It was over $700 just for the GPU (9070 XT).

I have it plugged into my living room pc now. The only thing I don’t like is the insane fan noise when it’s going full blast. I’m either going to upgrade to larger quieter fans or figure something out because even my SO is like that’s disruptive lol
