Wtf, I thought you were joking, that’s a crazy coincidence.

Came here to suggest Akagi, it might also help to play a little Mahjong Soul to understand riichi mahjong. It’s not essential, but rewatching Akagi after learning how to play was an enhanced experience.

Do you have a link, I haven’t been able to find any articles specifically referencing battlemage bottlenecking on budget current-gen CPUs.

Edit: Nevermind, I found this: https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel/arc-b580-performance-issues

The article notes that this points to a driver issue, and given the driver improvements made by Intel on their previous Arc GPUs I would be surprised if this issue isn’t ironed out in future patches. It is a bit hyperbolic to say Battlemage is DOA based on driver issues alone,. especially so recently after launch. It also notes that games do run, but some games see 10-20% lower performance at the moment.

All great mentions, but Hundreds of Beavers has been living in my head since I watched it, easily my favourite of 2024.

This is good, I enjoyed the first three, I hope they go with a similar release cadence.

Hundreds of Beavers is easily my favourite movie this year. I watched it with some friends who had no idea what they were watching, and it has been a universal hit with them. The physical comedy is done really well, and many gags are foundational to setting rules for the viewer to set up even more elaborate and hilarious gags as the movie goes on. Honestly this is such a unique and fun movie, it was a breath of fresh air. I am.hanging out for a theatre showing near me, as I think the only way the movie could be better would be to experience it with a crowd.

I believe it’s also streaming free on Tubi.

Too right, mate.

As an Australian, why bother importing “y’all” when everyone is already “mate”?

Who is still trying to make NFTs happen in 2024?

Perfect.

Interesting, I’m not using unlock in chrome on my phone so I’m not sure why it’s not showing up.

Really? I just checked and it’s not there for me viewing on Chrome for Android. Sorry mate.

What is even the point of this article if it doesn’t link or include the referenced side by side. Entertainment Weekly are awful for click-baity articles like this.

Sure, I get that, and if it was the first game from an indie developer that would make sense, but for a game from Valve who have extensive resources, talent and experience it definitely seems like a poor introduction to the game.

Played about 5 minutes when a friend invited me and uninstalled, thought it might be interesting if the shooting mechanics were tight but it feels like a port of a console shooter to PC circa 2010. Really disappointing this is what we get from Valve.

For me personally, Velious was the last expansion that still felt like “classic” EverQuest. Luclin introduced some pretty significant changes such as The Nexus and The Bazaar, that for me really impacted how the game world felt. If Quarm is just up to Kunark then it would definitely be worth playing there as well.

For that classic EverQuest experience come join Project 1999: https://www.project1999.com

That was really good. It’s something I hadn’t given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn’t exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn’t really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.

Kanedaaa

I’m sure there are niche users for who paying the price of admission is acceptable, but for myself and I assume a vast number of other users, when I’m comparing performance of hardware I’m already checking reviews on multiple other sites, so this will only mean I don’t bother to check their site.

I haven’t visited their site in a long time though, so I’m not sure what value-adds they offered that might make the price more palatable.
