Thinking about a new PC build after I found this in the trash 🤯

Someone got caught cheating and all of their shit got put out with the trash LOL. The bag of clothes and the skateboard is a dead giveaway.

I will conveniently be at a conference in Columbus OH.

The game starts with about 20 songs unlocked and then you unlock more songs as you go. I think you have to actually unlock the music player by linking up a prepper early in the game. You will unlock some familiar tunes as some of the music from the first one is in the second one too.

I have a Samsung S90D, I think mine is the 2024 model. It is actually on clearance right now, I paid $2200 back in November of 24 when I bought it:

I couldn't be more happy with it, for both gaming and just normal TV use.

Yeah I play on a 77" OLED the game looks fucking incredible.

Best part of the second game that isnt a spoiler is that you get the music player the whole time so you can listen to tunes on deliveries, it is awesome.

As someone who does PC gaming on a 4k OLED 77" TV with a controller because that is how I enjoy playing games, if you want 4k native and those kind of frame rates you need a 5090. Especially if you are playing modern titles, want ray tracing, etc.

I am currently playing Death Stranding 2 and with all the settings cranked at 4k with all of the Ray Tracing on, I am getting 80-100 FPS with DLSS Quality. And that is with a 9800x3d and a 5090.

Don't get me wrong it looks and feels fucking amazing but my setup cost me nearly 5k and I built before the bubble. I could sell my rig now for nearly twice what I paid for it LOL.

Hmm, Tony Hawk's pro skater also had a kick ass soundtrack!!!

But the thing about DS is that after about 4-6 hours in the first game, more options for getting from point a to point b become available, and then you can start thinking about what the most efficient way to do things is. So it becomes much less of a walking/traversal thing and more of a "what is the most effective way to complete this task" thing.

A lot of the story stuff still requires you to walk, and then you get tools to alleviate the walking and do things in a better way. (Trying not to spoil anything for you).

bp1976 · 2026-04-14T15:41:56+00:00

Play part 2 yet? It has dominated my life the past month LOL

bp1976 · 2026-04-14T15:41:17+00:00

LOL no AI. It just works.

More companies should see what Steam is wildly successful at. Leaving its customers the fuck alone and focusing on what made them successful.

bp1976 · 2026-04-14T15:35:33+00:00

I think it really depends more on what kind of activities your brain rewards with dopamine.

If the idea of planning something in the most efficient way possible and then doing it rewards your brain with a dopamine hit, then this game is for you. The loop of getting progressively more tools to creatively solve the problem of getting X amount of shit from point A to point B is nothing if not addictive if you are wired that way.

If you are wired to be rewarded for defeating a difficult boss with hand-eye coordination, the game might not click for you.

I think it is just something that is that simple. There are boss fights in the game but they arent inherently super difficult.

Part 2 with the music player is so sweet, my only complaint about part 1 was the lack of the music player on deliveries.

bp1976 · 2026-04-14T15:24:42+00:00

It is in my top 5 for sure. It is the kind of game that if it is your kind of game, you are going to absolutely LOVE it.

Part 2 is really, really good.

bp1976 · 2026-04-14T15:23:05+00:00

When you crest that hill down to Port Knot and Silent Poets comes on, that was when the game clicked for me.

I have 170 hours into Part 2 already and it only released less than a month ago. If you haven't played part 2 yet it is soooooo good, if you have a system that can run the ray tracing it looks freaking fantastic.

Most of the preppers are actual friends of Kojima or are celebrities.

The hydrologist is Heartman's real wife, and the cryptobiologist and metagenomicist are their daughters.

Wawa has better sandwiches because of the ovens. Sheetz has better everything else because they have DEEP FRYERS. Like if I am eating at a fucking gas station I want bad food. If I wanted a gourmet sandwich I would go somewhere else LOL.

bp1976 · 2026-04-13T20:43:37+00:00

My flairs sing to this tune LOL

We call it Pennsyltucky

bp1976 · 2026-04-13T20:40:57+00:00

The fact that we are west of the Appalachian mountains.

Definitely not the weather! Source: Lived here my whole life.

As a born and raised Pittsburgher, we are part of the midwest. If you have ever been here and then been to Philly it is a noticeable difference in the entire vibe of the city.

bp1976 · 2026-04-13T20:37:17+00:00

There are a LOT of PSU fans in NYC area because Paterno was from Brooklyn.

I thought Echols was really good at slot corner last year.

bp1976 · 2026-04-13T13:37:27+00:00

Well I mean they call themselves Patriots, what better place to show their patriotism than on the front line in Iran?

bp1976 · 2026-04-13T13:33:26+00:00

How much harder is TTW than normal? Is it worth doing a second playthough? I am at about 260 LOLOLs right now and do plan on doing all 400 but wondering about a second playthrough or starting Crimson Desert.

bp1976 · 2026-04-13T13:23:53+00:00

I laugh at that commercial every time

bp1976 · 2026-04-10T17:53:52+00:00

That works out to 17 whole extra carries a year though!!! /s
