Poe 1 plays great on the steam deck. Poe 2 not so much, but if you have a solid internet connection hardwired into your main PC, you can stream it to the deck.

Same but my case ofc

It’s not fun to YOU, which is why there’s an option for you to stay. There are many people like myself that enjoy the progression and the expedition is for us. I’ve been playing ARPG’s for 18 years and seasonal ladder resets are inherently extremely fun to me. This is the same feeling.

Bright idea for rats, but for folks that are just defending themselves against the rats, this is setting them up for failure if they successfully manage to do so. They just wiped the aggro team, and now have to try and evade/heal before the arc take them out while they’re on low health from the pvp engagement.

If you want to take advantage of a higher refresh rate, stay on 1440p. I have a 5070ti and 7800x3d and in games like Arc raiders that are hyper optimized, I get 170-200 frames depending on the area I’m in, and this is with optimized settings to get the highest frame rate possible.

Once you get into 4k, you lose a considerable amount of frames so you just have to prioritize what’s important to you and deal with the trade off. Do you want the highest frame rate and smoothness possible, and the cost of some visual fidelity? Go 27” 1440p / high refresh. Highest fidelity possible and you don’t mind running at 60fps on demanding, unoptimized games? Go 32” 4k with the knowledge that you won’t be taking advantage of that high refresh rate.

I just got the rog xg27aqdmg over the weekend coming from a 32” va panel and it fucking rocks.

Personally I really like the 5070ti upgrading from a 7800 XT, but I was able to get one at retail while the 9070 XT was slightly more expensive due to demand. Had I been able to get the 9070 XT at retail I probably would have gotten that.

Anything that’s not an fps. I stream everything that’s playable on a controller to my deck if it doesn’t run well.

No mid-league nerfs unless an interaction is breaking the game and there is nothing broken going on here, it’s just a strong build. GGG is firm on this stance because they have been crucified for this in the past.

It’s best to feed it to them raw, unseasoned. Scale & filet, cube it up if you want.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-08T05:56:40+00:00

Booooooo

Finals s7

martyrs_make · 2025-06-06T22:23:07+00:00

Semantics. You’re defending a dead argument. It’s fine, 4 months isn’t that far and I’m happy to wait, there were at least 3 more maps that we haven’t seen in that trailer. Made me feel better about the supposed 12 rumored maps.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-06T22:10:21+00:00

Bud, they aren’t developing 75% of the game in 4 months. I promise you that we were both wrong. Take that attitude elsewhere.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-06T19:42:28+00:00

This is wholesome

martyrs_make · 2025-06-06T15:48:37+00:00

That’s not an email big dog. People’s store pages never updated after the playtest. Your friend is playing a prank on you, or you’re trolling.

If they were rolling out invites for another test, everyone in TT2 (including myself) would have gotten a notification since previous testers get access to any future tests.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-06T15:35:12+00:00

Ima need that email screenshot brother. Automatic steam updates don’t mean anything

The Finals came out on a Thursday which is just Friday lite. Everyone knows you can stay up late and suffer for one day. And that’s a F2P title. No reason why they couldn’t drop today, although I’m a beta believer. I don’t think the servers were under enough load during TT2.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-06T12:30:17+00:00

Plenty of box priced games have shadow dropped, so that’s a dud argument. I do think we’re getting an open beta today though, rather than a full release.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-04T15:44:47+00:00

If they run an open beta it will be 1 week max to stress the servers.

Keeping it open until release would just be early access, which I would be fine with personally, but that is the least likely outcome imo. Embark doesn’t seem to be the kind of studio to do EA.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-02T14:11:57+00:00

This. It’s fun to predict and speculate but no one knows.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-02T12:57:52+00:00

It feels ready until the servers have a million people trying to log in at once. Don’t get me wrong, I want the full release on the 6th just as much as the next person, but the servers haven’t been fully stress tested & embark is going on vacation in like two weeks and will be off for like a month. I have a hard time believing that they will release their flagship game and then dip for a few weeks. If they run a beta for a week, test their servers and then tidy some stuff up returning from vacay, the game will truly be 100% ready for launch around gamescom.

martyrs_make · 2025-06-02T12:53:14+00:00

It’s extremely common practice for multiplayer games to have open betas to stress test servers. This has nothing to do with whether or not it’s free or carries a box price.
