a dull pink because it harmonizes well with my avatar.

People ignoring color theory smh.

Puh, already 7 hours of The Division 2.:D I have to say, I do prefer the snowy New York setting.
Yeah, the setting for Div2 looks so plain by comparison. Really missin' those neon sign reflections in the street puddles and stuff. Div1 had such a great atmosphere in general.

Still can't be arsed to try Div2 myself though, since Ubi can't be arsed to put it on a platform I actually like/trust.:face-with-cold-sweat:

It has an offline mode but you can't move characters between the two modes. So if you want to play with friends ever, you need an online character. If you only care about playing solo then offline is fine and avoids all the server issues.
In Diablo 2 you could play with friends with direct IP connections. Can you do it in wolcen
I'm asking because I don't want to rely on a server to play multiplayer

Also, is it easy to play solo?
It's not reaching all time high player count
Looks like Metro Exodus reached over 10k players. I guess there are people who waited a year for a proper steam release

MY MIND IS BLOWN.

I thought I was becoming old since for the last 5 years or so my K/D ratio was average at best...

Today I was playing the Halo: CE beta and I noticed, again, that I couldn't aim for shit... I started adjusting my chair height, turned down the DPI setting so that I could "do it like the pros do" (i.e., big swinging motions to turn less than 10°)... and even then I had to constantly switch DPI settings on the fly whenever I needed to use a sniper rifle and even then my mouse was "jittery".

I opened the Logitech Gaming Software thingy to recalibrate the mouse and... it dawned on me... I had mouse acceleration on this WHOLE time. I just removed it and now I can aim again!! I thought that games would override that stuff!

Edit: I tried 3D Aim Trainer (just the moving flick test) and went from top 15-20% to ~5%

Damn, I legit had to do a double take. After seeing you using very ‘gentle‘ avatars since I can remember, I was not expecting that :tightly-closed-eyes:

ps. Gentle by contrast with this one, this is not a misogynistic post.

Ahh! I'm a little late once again. Gotta say I share the same feeling of many folks before me, that these colorful tags are amazing! :blobcheer:

Though I've had the realization that having black and dark purple as your two favorite colors might make things tricky. :ROFLMAO:

So I'm currently trying to find a purple that works/is readable. I won't let you beat me, purple! Not today!
looking great! awesome choice! :thumbsupblob:

Nah you are just too lazy to customize it like me.
:disapproval-blob:

Ghost tag gang represent.

People ignoring color theory smh.
i knoooooow, right? shameful! :p

Colours!
White for the White Mage!
wow, lazy!

Bright colors, mute colors, hidden colors?
Meh.
lol .... oh, you ;)

So people do wait after all.


It is a golem from The Witcher. Maybe it is gentle.

Sweeney must be pissed seeing Exodus still doing great on best seller list on Steam after 1 year of EGS exclusivity with discounts and coupons + game pass.
Can't wait to be infuriated at whatever mental gymnastics he comes up with to claim this is a good thing for everybody. Actually I can wait, I mostly avoid anything that features his name or EGS. Don't need him in my head rent free.

I am quite surprised at the numbers Exodus is doing though. I'd have thought more people would have been "get fucked - 75% - or die" about it.

i guess $40 base price + 40% off did the trick

I have 2 friends who bought Blands 3 on EGS who will buy the game on Steam day 1 just so they can uninstall EGS.

I have another friend who uses EGS just as a Satisfactory platform who also wants to get Satisfactory on Steam just so he can throw away EGS into the trash can on his computer.

There are probably lots of people who just uses EGS for 1-3 games who wants the Steam version just so they can uninstall EGS.

Seriously do not understand people who do this, WTF. Or request for steam keys for their Epic Purchase.
I mean if you got on console and you want to double dip on PC i understand.
But buying 2 copy of the same game on the same Platform? Must be nice to have lots of disposable income.

I actually understand. They really want to play, but don't really wanna use EGS, but they cave in, so they play the game, maybe not fully due to other things happening in their lives, they still want the game on Steam, Steam version releases, they uninstall the game from EGS and uninstall EGS, they buy Steam version, that's it.

It's still a waste of money. I personally wouldn't do it. If I ever cave and buy something on EGS, I own it on EGS. I'd only ever add it to Steam if I got a key from a bundle.

But I guess if you can afford it then fair enough.

Suddenly into ARPGs, so decided to wait for Exodus Expansion Pass and Daemon for the next Steam sale.

Downloading Path of Exile, only played it for 83min according to Steam, hope it clicks this time, Grim Dawn, also barely touched this, hope it's good and doesn't feel old or anything

I just found these pics i had made 2 years ago and i am still waiting...

As I am slowly (like one level per week) getting through Drakengard 3 on my old PS3, this picture nearly gave me a heart attack. The game looks and plays so bad on PS3, but I still will finish it one day. Zero and Mikhail are an amazing pair.

Drakengard 3 runs pretty well on RPCS3 IIRC. Better than on PS3 at least :p

Audiosurf just randomly got an update





Widescreens

Widescreen scaling is now handled much better. This is especially noticeable on ultrawide monitors, but it's an improvement for 16:9 displays too (Audiosurf was originally designed for 4:3). Most of the menu screens do still fully stretch.

Corkscrews

Corkscrew twists were completely random, but now they highlight a big moment in the song. There's still the same 25% chance of a ride having a corkscrew (except for songs that really want one and therefore always have one).

You can now play in narrowscreen too if that’s your thing.
Neat. IIRC Audiosurf was my first non-Valve game on Steam.

Still not enough, I would KILL for a Drakengard 3 port, I mean, Nier will get one almost for sure this year or next year, so I'm not worried there but Drakengard 3 won't most likely so, yeah, wishful thinking from me.
