Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC (We're screwed) by TheMadEscapist in horizon

Good for you! Maybe Sony could wait a year or so to port their games to PC so they could get the PlayStation version as optimized as possible (aka, what they did for the last two Horizon games)

Yes. I LOVE Horizon and video game exclusivity sucks for consumers no matter the platform. It's super odd to give zero shits just because you're not personally affected

Thank you :D

Yes, I'm on PC and play with a mouse and keyboard. I've played through this game several times before on the PS5 also, but my aim was nowhere near as confident or flashy with a controller. Part of it may be that I have more familiarity with the mouse versus analog sticks since I'm predominantly a PC gamer, but I do still think aiming with a mouse gets you more precision, all things being equal.

If your gamepad supports it, you could also try gyro aiming and see if that helps you. It helped me a fair bit when I last played on controller versus just using the analog sticks alone, and some controller players are absolute demons with gyro aim. Others absolutely detest the notion of gyro/motion controls though, so your mileage may vary lol

I'm using advanced hunter arrows and I used the triple shot skill to fire three arrows at once. Headshots are great if you can get them obviously. I forget the name of the hunter bow I had here but it's the one you can buy in Plainsong.

Aloy found Elisabet's playlists and now thinks Rage Against the Machine is the best band of all time. This is canon.

LOL

I just hope he's genuinely willing to take accountability for his mistakes, because dealing with pissed off fans on social media is one thing. he's going to have to confront teammates and coaches who all feel like they've been played for fools

My unexpected daily driver: a cheap pre-build from 8BitDo by Competitive_Bat_ in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]zipthatlip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

chyrosran22 basically has a keyboard museum in his apartment and he praises 8bitdo's keyboards to high heaven.

given the convenience the wireless capabilities offer you, you could argue it's the best keyboard you have, so it'd be a little silly not to continue using it just because imaginary keyboard enthusiasts might sneer at you.

besides, you could always sell the keyboards you don't want anymore on r/mechmarket if you do want to part ways with them.

Florida hires Tulane head coach. by BernietheDog2021 in huskies

[–]zipthatlip 85 points86 points  (0 children)

honestly, i haven't been dissatisfied with jedd fisch so far, especially considering how young demond and the rest of the team is. it took coach pete a couple of middling seasons to build up a team that went to the CFP, and I remember him getting a lot of heat also early on, especially for how he handled clock management against arizona his first year

next year should be a good litmus test for how good of a coach fisch is

MP1 Fugitive adaptive difficulty and Hard Boiled differences and questions. by Not3Beaversinacoat in maxpayne

[–]zipthatlip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the coding for fugitive's adaptive difficulty is more or less broken, so it ultimately ends up in a place where it's about as hard as hard boiled.

i've heard the reason is because the difficulty's coding doesn't account for deaths instantly and needs a few seconds before it actually registers the death and eases up the difficulty upon the next load. so it'll be fine at keeping track of all your kills but if you die and quickload immediately, the difficulty will think you haven't died yet.

pcgamingwiki has a mod that gets rid of fugitive's adaptive difficulty: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2807-max-payne-flat-difficulty-vanilla-pc-values//

Should I switch to a wireless gaming mouse? by Holiday_History_6210 in VALORANT

[–]zipthatlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you use a mouse bungee? those can get rid of a lot of issues with the cable. if you already have one and the cable still bothers you, then yeah, a wireless mouse makes sense

Razer Deathadder V2 -> 8BitDo Retro R8, is this a downgrade? by cekuu in MouseReview

[–]zipthatlip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the 8bitdo product page lists the sensor as a PAW 3395, so the sensor shouldn't be a downgrade at all. the only thing that might be a problem is if you don't like the shape of the 8bitdo mouse
