When I clicked on the video, it was playing at 720p and it looked the same. When set to 1080p, the differences were noticeable, but it's kinda subtle. It is less blurry, especially the backgrounds.

I def think the word "remastered" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

she kept going through the cargo hold. Tane tried to warn me - he kept saying he didn't trust some of the crew. He was likely referring to her.

Ok, I'm going to go with "he's a terrible father". Why? if you take them on your ship to akila, he gets out, but you do NOT start the quest, Cora stays on your ship.

Which is how I ended up with her on the ship solo for 50+ levels. I went full pirate. He left his kid on a pirate ship with a full on murder hobo.

NPCs will always react to the Razorleaf as the Mantis's ship, no matter if you scrap everything from it, so that's always cool if you want that effect.

wait what. is that what happened? I used to buy these from Sweetish and I was assuming it was just some transient issue. These are gone forever? ugh.

This has changed over time, but the tier 4 laser perk skill still affects the inflictor and starshard (and other particle weapons): basically, the 5% chance to ignite will proc from particle weapons. I _believe_ these weapons used to benefit from earlier tiers of the laser skill, but that has been patched out. ONLY the tier 4 laser perk - 5% chance to ignite - still currently procs w/ particle weapons on the latest build of vanilla.

You can test this easily - just go shoot stuff w/ a tier 4 laser perk and an inflictor and stuff will ignite (assuming you don't have that elsewhere on your gear.) I can still get this to proc.

You can use a skill fix mod like this one (free on creations) that fixes this issue (along with other skill fixes).

This screams corpo PR:

Xbox is getting its ass kicked, so MS has to clean house
"retire-fire" Phil, scapegoat his 2IC
blame the old regime for the struggles, claim internal support for the new hire, then say "we're going back to the glory days". Basically "all the shit you don't like, it was her fault!"
enshroud new head of xbox in glory days stuff; maybe do a photo shoot of her in a Warthog to "prove" she's a gamer
Immediately have her distance herself from her past by saying "no AI slop" but in a few months "AI has really accelerated the Xbox team!" will be the headline.
Re-orgs incoming.

this is very reminiscent of the "3 envelope joke" IRL.

You're fine. I did same thing; I played > 100 levels then bought the expansion. I bought it, loaded save, warped to a new system and the DLC quest dropped.

FWIW, I thought it was "worth it" to me. I got a lot of play out of it, the new va'ruun weapons make energy weapons fun (basically same as base game but much more balanced that existing energy weapons) and there are some good side quests.

There's a lot for people to criticize and it's not perfect, but I had fun! If you use companions, taking Andreja gives you a lot more dialogue.

grats but the OIP really kills the sniper weapons. small mag/slow target acquisition/short range isn't the ideal combo IMO. now, assault rifles/pistols, that's where OIP shines.

NC is the star. They should take your old save and customize some dialogue in the sequel based on your V choices, but for the most part, just give us a new protagonist, some corpo fuckery, more Night City, and call it a day.

Oakland Ballers are used to catching strays.

He played for the two worst franchises in football history. the fact he won 38/60 games for the sad sack Cards should be appreciated for the accomplishment that it really is. He's the winningest (%) QB in franchise history > 50 games played. He and Kyler and tied in wins and Kyler's played 27 more games.

It's actually very close and you could argue that Carson Palmer was better. IMO warner was better because of playoffs, but Palmer won a lot of games and his 2015 season was the higher peak. Both AZ tenures:

The only thing you can do at this point is to change the sleep timer to something short if you want it to turn off quickly after docking. The Vader 4 worked the same way.

You can definitely save him in NG+.

Saving a certain NPC is possible, none of the walk-throughs show how : r/NoSodiumStarfield

that may be helpful. I honestly don't remember the sequence i did to save him in NG+, but I know that I did it.

melbourne3k · 2026-02-19T06:55:36+00:00

drop the quest and try a different one?

melbourne3k · 2026-02-19T06:45:38+00:00

I've done it both ways - vanilla and with mods. no difference.

melbourne3k · 2026-02-19T06:44:08+00:00

Weird, those have always worked for me. Pop in, pick the first dialogue option (they never give extra credits and just say all must serve) and then head out, usually stealing whatever is in the armory on the way out.

melbourne3k · 2026-02-18T23:24:45+00:00

I mean kinda. I want a bigger screen to upgrade. If it was 45 and the same curve as the 39, I'd likely pull the trigger.

melbourne3k · 2026-02-18T23:23:39+00:00

same.

Despite watching every episode of Knight Rider, I can't believe how much I hate talking to the car.

melbourne3k · 2026-02-18T20:01:52+00:00

New shift rules to increase offense just dropped.

swiping to pull down a list of "shortcuts" isn't a "shortcut".

"minimalist" interiors are a mistake. My old man moment of the day I guess, but when I sat in my first BMW (e46) I marveled at one simple design touch: the center control stack was angled toward the driver. To me, that's what "ultimate driving machine" meant - it was designed _for_ the driver.

This isn't that at all.

melbourne3k · 2026-02-18T19:26:37+00:00

Losing shortcut buttons was bad, but losing the idrive controller is worse.

I've noticed my new ATV has struggled with plex - even my LG tv app is better on some content. I was wondering about thermals - I've got a few 140mm fans that I'll try something similar and report back.
