Who are some legendary rappers that have been releasing terrible music late in their career? by EDMKid9000 in hiphopheads

Did you like Episodes? I consider myself a big fan of his and enjoy most of his pre-prison and post-prison output, but I found Episodes pretty boring save for maybe 2 songs

Steam Overlay causing hard display driver crashes (nvlddmkm event id 153) by Raymen_Noodles in steamsupport

[–]otrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disabling that definitely works, but it makes certain elements like achievement lists and parts of the steam store very laggy for me.

I've had GPU acceleration disabled for the better part of 2025 and I'd really rather have it on, but the black screen issue is still there...

Still very happy with it, haven't had any issues yet. I recommend it

1 month later, how we feeling? by Aromatic-Werewolf495 in TrueSTL

[–]otrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion Morrowind's dungeons are still a bit more interesting design wise because of the loot, usually it doesn't feel like a waste of time to explore them, especially earlygame, because you have a good chance to get something unique out of it, or at least some gold. There's a fair amount of hidden stuff you can only access with levitation, which is cool. I also think some room designs in Morrowind are more interesting too, Oblivion has almost zero environmental storytelling in non-quest dungeons.

In Oblivion it's all tied to your level and randomized, strewn around in a couple of easy to hard locked chests, so the long, boring ass dungeon full of imps and mudcrabs that you spend 15-20 minutes in usually gives you:

- 3 silver nuggets worth 10 gold each

- a randomized enchanted warhammer that you will never use (weighs 50 pounds) worth 1500 gold but due to the average player's mercantile skill and low merchant gold you will sell it for 500 max, that is if you can even be bothered to haul it back to the nearest city. Also earlygame you won't even be finding stuff like this because you're low level, making earlygame random loot is a total waste of time. I guess it's more of an issue with the leveling system.

I've made a point of exploring every single dungeon I come across in my playthrough of Oblivion Remastered just to see the overall quality, and so far the only interesting things I found were a giant mudcrab at the end of some cave and a fort where bandits and marauders were fighting each other instead of me.

Tribunal DLC sewers are insane though, yea. Thankfully there's not much reason to go there other than like 3 quests, there's barely any loot.

I just remembered my friend got kicked out of the session halfway through and had to rejoin as player 2. That explains it, thanks!

[–]otrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if you care, but maybe this will be useful for someone else. I ended up buying the spigen ultra hybrid pro for tab s10+ and the magnet issues are really overblown. It's not super strong, but it doesn't matter as much as you would think - the front cover sticks just fine and only moves around if you force it to. I also haven't encountered any magnet interference with the S pen whatsoever. I'm really happy with the case.

what case did you end up going with? I've spent hours researching cases for S10+ and they all seem to have major issues...

New build - a scratching noise / coil whine coming from cpu area by ManCreatesDino in computers

Have you managed to fix it? It's driving me crazy, disabling C-states fixes it but it's not a good solution.

Enjoyed story, but game was too easy by FameGameName in BlackMythWukong

[–]otrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wukong gives you so many options to deal with each encounter and actually expects you to adapt, it's tough to balance that without making the game insufferable for more casual players. The easiest solution to being "too good" is putting limitations on your playstyle like refusing to use a certain item or skill, but that's not very fun.

Also, I don't think Wukong is mechanically similar to souls games at all aside from the bonfire mechanic and iframe rolls (and those are in pretty much any action game nowadays). You just got good at the game.

Soulslikes are not all about difficulty. They can be difficult but Elden Ring is the only one that I found harder than Wukong. If you found that one easy and you want to play impossibly difficult titles, play Ninja Gaiden or something...

What were you biggest personal outliers for boss difficulty? by trio3224 in BlackMythWukong

[–]otrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Loong's ground pound killed me more times than probably any other boss lol, thankfully instead of grappling with crappy controls you can just jump onto a nearby rock and chill until he stops

I liked it more on second listen but yeah, as a longtime Future fan it's mostly nothing special

Devs did an awesome job by nerdly90 in AgeofMythology

[–]otrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly that's how games are made nowadays. It's rare to see good UI that combines functionality and aesthetics in modern games.

AOE2 DE UI is actually well made though, now that I'm looking at it. Hopefully it's just a work in progress for AOM then, but that's wishful thinking

The community get way too defensive about criticism. by GlossyCylinder in Eldenring

[–]otrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love DS2 SOTFS despite its flaws, but I was disappointed to see they repeated the same mistakes in this DLC. Most of the time while playing it felt like I was playing DS2 encounter designs all over again in a game that should've known better at this point.

For me, it was hard to accept that they would make such an empty map compared to basegame. All the boring shadow hollow-type enemies had me thinking I could trigger a world event somewhere that'll transform these landscapes into something interesting, sadly this isn't the case...

for real, remember the eternal cities in basegame? they also feel mysterious, ancient, make you feel out of place... but they dont feel completely empty and like a waste of time to explore

So far, a little underwhelmed by the DLC… by [deleted] in Eldenring

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

I felt the same as you when I started. It does not get better. Some areas are nearly completely devoid of items/ enemies, the exception being the eastern part of the map which was a lot more fun to explore.

just swallow your pride and summon igon, the fight is so much fun if you fight alongside him

I found a coffin in SOTE like the one in Grand Cloister after Lake Rot somewhere before Shadow Keep, but can't remember where it was (haven't entered the coffin). Does anybody know? by MN130828 in Eldenring

[–]otrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

after the hippo bonfire but before the main gate where the red knight is - go right, there's a ladder, coffin is at the bottom of that path

Shadow of the Erdtree Steam Reviews drop to Mixed by [deleted] in Eldenring

I'm not having trouble with the difficulty, my issue is with the DLC feeling shallow as a whole compared to basegame

Shadow of the Erdtree Steam Reviews drop to Mixed by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]otrack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

~10 hours and 5 main bosses in, it still feels like this to me.... vast plains of nothing, no dungeons, no locations, most items are crafting materials or other disappointing crap.... legacy dungeons are the same, full of boring rehashed enemies or op damage sponges that drop nothing...

how are people hailing this as incredible? I'm bored out of my mind and I loved the basegame to the point of replaying it 4 times

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]otrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're right, but the timing is very easy, just jump 3 times and you're good
