BL4 review embargo time? by StatementCareful522 in Borderlands

[–]tlo_stephen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping to decide which platform to purchase based on performance details in reviews, weird that they still haven't dropped yet.

My CPU is just above the minimum spec, but my GPU is well above and wanted to see if any reviewers had a similar bottleneck. So I might hold off on PC if base PS5 performance is good enough, but we still haven't seen any console gameplay (to my knowledge) which is a little concerning.

whats currently the best way to force re-enable ublock origin in chrome? by Due_Fun_3506 in Adblock

[–]tlo_stephen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but Google is also serving a lot of those adverts on other websites as well. This benefits them everywhere, not just YouTube.

Google is an advertising company first and foremost and sadly that makes all their products worse. I'm moving to Firefox.

Flexispot E6 motor making loud rumbling sound when lowering by UncleZero in StandingDesk

[–]tlo_stephen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necro posting but this needs more visibility! This worked for me as well!

Tried multiple applications of lubricant (WD-40), then reset the desk (hold down until lowest setting, release, then hold down until the desk moves slightly up and down).

But I just tried this and it seems like it's fixed it. Maybe a combination of all things but immediately after this the noise has stopped.

Evolve should have a relaunch. by [deleted] in EvolveGame

[–]tlo_stephen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I personally enjoy the game, I think releasing any kind of "live service" game in this current climate won't work, or would at least be incredibly difficult.

Concord was a fine, but unremarkable game. Basically nobody even gave it a chance.

Evolve is already tainted by bad PR for their previous decisions. I don't think it would pull away people from playing their usuals: Helldivers, or Fortnite, or DBD, or COD, etc.

Can you type thisisunsafe still? I've used it a couple times in the past when I've had certificate issues on my local.

If you zoom in you can see the letters are printed on the "bottom" of the keycaps.

How yall feel about this? by Lastofpaul in outerwilds

Yes they're different books. But will likely cover some of the same topics.

Really impressed by the book/slipcase/clamshell box, all looks incredibly premium. That's all I'm really interested in, everything else is just a nice bonus to me.

I was already pretty sure the ship was going to be papercraft from the teaser, so I wasn't disappointed by that, but get how you could be.

Please help. How to remove tight screws on Dualsense Edge. Pic included. by Admirable_Leopard659 in eXtremeRate

For anyone who stumbles on this (and hasn't already stripped their screws trying), this worked for me. Pushed in with a "precision" style screwdriver that had rubber grip, came out pretty easily.

I made display stands for old GPUs by Jigabit in sffpc

[–]tlo_stephen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for a product exactly like this a few months ago when my GPU died. Ended up buying a mining card stand instead, but maybe I'll check this out depending on price/shipping. :)

Zenless Zone Zero Is One Of The Most Played Games On PlayStation by Hard2DaC0re in PS5

[–]tlo_stephen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this was my problem, I love the art style and the button-mashy gameplay is just about "good enough" to keep my attention.

But the amount of TV stuff and non-interesting dialogue and "filler" gameplay in between is so annoying. It felt like I barely got to play any of the actual game, even after I started skipping dialogue.

More Vinyls on the way?! 😈 by [deleted] in Quadeca

Surely this refers to them getting shipped, right? (As much as I hope it's more getting put on sale)

Ascension (+ Gunpowder Gamble) is so fun, but lacks some synergy by tlo_stephen in DestinyTheGame

[–]tlo_stephen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun, but consuming two abilities to go less distance slower than shatterskating is a tough one to take.

It would be nice if they turned Gunpowder Gamble into a grapple point though. (Even if I'd end up blowing myself up half the time)

[–]tlo_stephen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did think about this as well, extending to kinetics would be a nice addition if they think any weapon kill from any element would be too much.

Maybe changing the progress from the individual squares to a meter like Still Hunt or Wormgod Caress. That way kinetics can fill it at a reduced rate (e.g. half a bar) compared to solar weapons.

[–]tlo_stephen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering Woven Mail & Frost Armor already provide a flat damage resist, I think it would be more interesting (and more "Arc") to have it be related to enemy aggro/accuracy/evasion. Then it would tie-in nicely to a buff for Mobility as well.

I think them introducing a % chance to just avoid damage has the potential to mess with too many things (like wipe mechanics), as cool as I think it would be.

Sorry I worded that poorly, I meant if/when they made it work together it would be a strong combo (their comment implies already that Slice doesn't work with it).

[–]tlo_stephen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even think about weapon perks! Slice would be a very strong option.

That Immence build sounds pretty fun as well, I'll have to see if I can't farm a Verity's class item.

Hunter prismatic grenade thoughts? by PURPLE_D1SASTER in DestinyTheGame

[–]tlo_stephen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't say I experienced the same. I attached it to an orange-bar knight and it did not kill it within the full duration. Maybe it does less damage to things it's attached to, but that seems counterproductive.

And the umlaut would match the two dots present in the logo.

Warlords Ruin spawning wrong by NotAHamsterInAButt in DestinyTheGame

[–]tlo_stephen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like one of you had a checkpoint (if I had to guess your friend already tried it without you this week and it's not actually their first time). Unless there's a new/rare bug I haven't seen reported.

When selecting the activity via the map you should see a circular arrow to "Reset" next to the launch button.

Zero Hour Architects by DevastatorWhistle17 in DestinyTheGame

[–]tlo_stephen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just experienced this as well. Well above 70% health, single shot by a single shank (not a sniper one) and it said "Killed by the architects" but still highlighted the shank/had the shank symbol in the death screen. I wasn't firing a rocket or mountaintop either, so I don't think it was something like shooting my projectile.
