For my 2TB Samsung T7 Shield. How should I format/initialize that? Should I go NSFT? ExFat? Or use the one that apple uses (apsf?)

I mainly plan to use Lightroom and transfer files between Mac and windows

I just started playing and wow looks so good even on Xbox!
I am playing it on series x, too. :smiling-eyes:

To be fair I haven't played any new AAA games for a while. Last one is Robocop (honestly not a AAA game but it's UE5), also on series x. Both of them are gorgeous in my eyes.

This is so weird to hear, because the trailer I watch at E3 (?) looked so cartoony.
Took this right at the beginning, using the controller capture button. I am not sure if this looks cartoony imo.

Remember how i mentioned secret project that i am working on? I am now at the point where project is like 80-85% finished and i am mostly done with it for this year so i guess it is time to reveal it. So remember when i said that i won't buy games for the rest of the year and maybe get new 3D printer for Christmas? Well i actually did get new 3D printer. But when i started thinking about new printer few months ago but i was having issue of where to actually put it, because setup i had at that time was annoying and not that good, so getting new 3D printer would barely improve that. But idea was to get 3D printer and then solve the issue. Then i actually started thinking more about it and at one point i said F-it and decided to spend even more money XD So you wonder what i did? I actually went and designed and rebuilt my working desk/home office/battle station. And that is what i have been working for past few months because i decided to design and make everything by myself. So basically everything you see on the photo below is custom made.



As i said everything except those panels behind monitor is custom made. Shelves and desk top are laminated oak boards that i glued, cut and finished. cabinets are from melamine (with higher end finish, for example drawer fronts and cabinet doors are from material that doesn't leave fingerprints). Bottom cabinets and desk are bolted to the wall using steel construction that i designed, ordered steel, cut and welded together (pray for the welds to hold, it was my first major welding work XD). entire thing is bolted with anker screws that each can hold at least 50kg (and i used 6 of them, per cabinet XD). Panels behind screen are not fixed to the wall, there are 3 strips of OSB board that are fixed for the ceiling and held with aluminum profile at the bottom (that black strip above desk), and that profile is fixed to the desk with special mounts that i designed and printed. This was done because i wanted space behind panels where i can rout cables from the attic and i didn't want to ruin wallpaper behind panels if i ever want to change background. And one of the best tings about new desk is that it was designed to be able to hide cables as much as possible so as you can see you barely can see any cables :D

As i said it is 80-85% finished because there are few more smaller things to add. There is steel frame that was intended to be visual addition and support for that board where PC case stands to prevent warping. For now i didn't bother with lighting (and es that is monitor LED light bar that i am using to lower desk clutter), i need to figure out what to put on that left side of the desk (one thing will probably be nice stand for that Quest 2 that is on the shelf), there should be some posters/art on those panels behind monitor, i need to add some plants. Also in the future plan is to put OLED TV above monitor (hold your complaints it is supposed to be on mount that can be lowered down), i still need to decide if i want second monitor, go ultrawide or go 32 inch (that is currently 27inch monitor)...

So yeah if something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing XD and for the end this is how design looked on the screen for comparison XD

Nice. The last 15% is the coffee machine right?

Really!? Looks like coffee, I searched for coffee gif
What you showed is some sort of caffeinated water beverage, the coffee/water ratio is all wrong, there's no foam, no texture, no flavour...

This is coffee the right way and yes, I'm gatekeeping the fuck out of this subject but only because coffee is excellent and the truth must be preserved.

Oh ! I don’t mind a good espresso but brewed coffee is my jam. Only bad brewed coffee has no flavour. Also coffee has more caffeine! :coffee-blob:

Lego Horizon does 608 peak CCU: "Those numbers are good for a SP game, it also doesn't count Consoles or other platforms where it surely had done better"
Dragon Age does 80k peak CCU:"Those numbers are good for a SP game, it also doesn't count Consoles or other platforms where it surely had done better""
Indiana Jones does 10k peak CCU:"Those numbers are good for a SP game, it also doesn't count Consoles or other platforms where it surely had done better""


I can't take any of these fans / Platform warriors seriously anymore.

You forgot the most important part. If it's later revealed one of those games bombed (layoffs, studio closure, or the company admits it underpeformed), then the discussion becomes "It's all the fault of those darned Steam fanboys and the CCU thread if this game bombed"
On the other hand, if a game is successful and has a high CCU, then nobody cares, or it's because group name here inflated the numbers on Steam and so they shouldn't count

I'm not sure what point you are making or what prompted this, but I think 80k (actually ~90k peak) for Dragon Age really was very good. I was surprised at how well it did -- and positively so, because regardless of the merits of the game itself at least EA did everything on a meta level right for once.

It's a 70€ game with hefty requirements that realistically only of small subset of users meet, it released close to a marvel f2p and PoE2 and it's on gamepass. 10k ccu isn't actually that bad all things considered.
