it's driving me nuts and I hate it.
Best solution so far at least for me is just to disable reddit media embed scripts in NoScript add-on. (but i realize NoScript is a hassle for most people, so it's not ideal).
You can mute the tab (on Firefox at least) instead of hunt for the video, if a video is playing in a tab then it will have an icon on its title bar you can click to mute.
I fucking hate autoplay in pretty much any website
Man am i glad i grabbed the originals on steam prior to this debacle. Will peruse pcgamingwiki for the best way to get them shiny cause that definitive edition needs more time in the oven
After watching latest Bond movie i was again left disappointed because i am one of those people who really liked Q and crazy gadgets on top of kinda wacky set pieces and plots (i mean tell me that bond in space is not better than Bond in abandoned WW2 complex). So because i doubt that we will see too much departure from established grounded Craig Bond in next iteration of the character in the movie i realized that game will probably be more on the less series side than moves. I mean gadgets are kinda must from gameplay perspective and levels and setpieces have more chances to go to crazy places than the movie. So yeah i am more excited for the game than for the next movie.
done with first playthrough of SMTV
amazing game, but i got lied to about the endings, so i'll do a new game + to get THE ending

I do wonder what Battlefield could be like without EA's bizarre one-way-rivalry in their head between Battlefield and CoD, and they just accepted the plain and simple truth that these brands have two completely different audiences and obsessively trying to poach the other is only burning away theirs?
Meanwhile Activision be like
Worse when they HAVE their real CoD competitor but it's just simply not good enough for them.
It's called Titanfall and Apex Legends.

Gotta say, I really enjoyed No Time To Die. Felt like a great way to end Craigs run, and didn't expect to see such a great film after the pretty abysmal Spectre.
The only thing I would change about it is the name, it should be called No Time To Live.
That being said, I am also very much looking forward to a James Bond game desined by IO, with all their years of making excellent Hitman games. Hoping for something that manages to take the core immersive sim idea behind the Hitman games and combine it with more action and a stronger focus on narrative.
there's a great number of reasons:
- i have gotten 12 hours of sleep these past 3 days in total, that accounts to an average of 4 hours a day (the estimate made before on another post was wrong, this one is right)
- i didnt want to use a lot of time grinding (this game is VERY GRINDY HOLY CRAP), so i levelled up quickly with mitamas
- i have thrown away all responsibilites out of the window, the only things i have done is play smtv and watch impractical jokers
however, if i'm fair, the game feels a bit "short", but it was mainly because i didnt do side quests, which is a big regret as these side quests actually expand a lot on the plot
i suspect that, even though my new game + will transfer all of my stuff from the first playthrough, that this new game + playthrough will take longer than the first one in terms of playtime alone, for also a big number of reasons
- a guy is currently attempting to fight demi-fiend; he has end-game demons who are all at level 99, he has specialized loadouts and moves, he has basically everything prepared, but here's the kicker; he is at attempt 41 and is on the game's easiest difficulty
- i'll do a new playthrough where i get the cliche "true ending where there's an additional boss fight", which then implies doing a ton of stuff
Meanwhile I still haven't opened my copy of SMT V.
Straight to my backlog pile it (SMTV) went. If I hadn't paid off the pre-order in full (with trade-in credit), I honestly would have rather waited for this rumored PC version to pop up.
(but give me P5R gdi!!!!)
(but give me P5R gdi!!!!)
you can always trust the japanese with great character design
for example, they made this stupid fucking cat's head a perfect american football, and let's just say i'm feeling like kicking some ball
My copy won't even arrive for another 4 weeks
some tips without context:
- if you are offered chips, PRESS THE RED BUTTON IMMEDIATELY
- five geese, a basket of opium infused seeds, a wife, three kids, one doctor, do the math
I nearly binned my Jack Frost keychain thing i got as part of the pre-order. I had the poster, game and steelcase and was about to bin the padded envelope it came in when i thought it was a little heavy for paper and bubbles. Good job i checked because the Jack Frost keychain was down in the bottom corner.
It's now in a drawer with the Monster Hunter keychains and the HoloEN penta-trinket key fob.

We're still spoilt for choice in terms of pixel graphics games, but since N1RV Ann-A has been delayed indefinitely and World of Horror only recently emerges from development hell, there's not much development with games in pc-98 style.
The fan translation scene is still active, albeit slow. The PC-98 version Yu-No is still being worked on with another beta release scheduled for next month (currently sitting at 70% completion), and Dragon Knight IV has been pushed back until next year.
They didn't even offered something as an apology.
Gimme Gimme Gimme Halo Infinite MP. I'm so excited.
guess what , this is solved righ before week's end
they got in touch with a person and problem is magically solved
at least they got tons of point in certain volvohating jurnou circles ... that will ignore the issue was solved quickly
I hope this is true. But at the same time, if the MP is plagued with issues, it's gonna be a rough holiday for Xbox.
If the mulitplayer does release tomorrow I'm guessing it's in a pretty good state, otherwise they would probably use the extra month of development time to work on it.
Man a shadow drop of Halo Infinite MP would be pretty sweet. I be true servers catch on fire tho.
The multiplayer's the good part of Halo, makes sense to put it out earlier. My PC Gamepass sub better get me something nice...
Oh yeah, that Gamepass install update better drop tomorrow, or it ain't gonna be friggin "soon" anymore.

Haha, same here. And I probably won't start it until I finish both Nocturne and Xenogears. So maybe early next year, when the PC port is already announced...
I have Chinatown Wars but as much as I tried to play it on phone it's not for me. Driving is issue in particular for me. There is simply not enough granularity or feedback like there is on gamepad. Basically anything that has standard controls with virtual gamepad i avoid on phones for that reason.
What do you mean by blowtorch effect? Making certain things too bright?To my admittedly untrained eyes, Win11 HDR handling seems to be all kinds of busted, unfortunately.
You activate HDR and the first thing you realize is that it applies to windows globally, so say hello to blowtorch mode. You get used to it, no big deal. Then you notice that the blowtorch effect isn't always present, the monitor seems to still acknowledge the HDR so meh, ok I guess.
Then you discover that sometimes, on a single page of Meta for example, the blowtorch effect comes and go depending on where you are on the page.
I was beginning to really like HDR, even on my 400 nits monitor.
Can't you do something right with windows for once Microsoft ?
Actually bought it some days ago and I agree. Driving's a beach.
It is also good opportunity to drop Xbox emulator for PC...
I wonder is there a way to play it with controller in Windows 11 now that it supports Android apps.
Funny fact, it's available also in Mac App Store.
I don't think there's much point in having this auto HDR active outside of games, as it's clearly something that's been designed with dynamic content in mind. That doesn't feel like useful criticism of this feature.To my admittedly untrained eyes, Win11 HDR handling seems to be all kinds of busted, unfortunately.

Also, not to be an ass here, but 400 NITS are nowhere bright enough for HDR to even really matter. You want a screen that can do ideally per-pixel-lighting (like OLED) or at least have a huge number of backlight zones (miniLED), and be able to maintain 1000 nits in local hotspots.
Nothing like that exists right now, OLED can do per-pixel lighting but can't be bright enough, and we probably wont see monitors that really perfect HDR until we reach the point that microLED becomes technologically and ecnomically viable for monitors and TVs.
Until then, I'd rather focus on getting a monitor that has a decent PPI, high refresh rates and decent VRR.
On my PC the transition from sdr to hdr clearly comes with a general brightness boost.
Hmm ? Yeah, not sure I follow you, I would have preferred for hdr to not be a global setting that messes with my general windows IQ outside of games. It’s not the case.
Hence the ‘even’ part of ‘even on my 400 nits monitor’.
I will be the first to admit in not being blown away by a lot of new tech, like hdr on my 4k Sony LED (never tried an oled though), so I’m not shilling for HDR. I just like what it does on my monitor, it’s, yeah, nice.
So it's not possible to set it to turn on only when full screen applications are running? Don't have Windows 11, so I just assumed it would be more than just a global "on/off" toggle. That's pretty dumb if that's how it currently works. MS should enable more options there.
I seen it on some high-end OLED screens, and it can look quite stunning, though even those can't really sustain high nits value for very long (as it risks burning out the OLED pixels).
I think once we reach microLED, in a decade or so, where can have the same infinite contrast and essentially limitless brightness, HDR will just become a new norm on all devices and people will look back on images from LCDs as dull and overly dark in comparison.
Anti-trust EU pls.
To be honest I didn’t try unchecking HDR in windows and activating it in a game settings. I suppose it wouldn’t work because windows is dumb like that with hdr, but maybe.
Outside of this possibility, yeah, you activate hdr on an os level, which boost your brightness everywhere, and then, only when this global setting is on, you can then activate auto hdr.
About the screens not being adequate, I would just wonder about a full on 1000 nits screens with the viewing distance of a monitor. Wouldn’t that be too much ?
The idea is that you would not use anywhere near the full brightness level very often, only for occasional effects. HDR is basically "less is more". You want to be able to create huge contrast momentarily, but you don't want to hurt people's eyes. Just as with audio, just because you want something capable of a wide range of sounds, doesn't mean you want to blast the user with a huge bass or crazy loud noise very often.
That's exactly why I find the idea of HDR for normal computing, like using a browser or using a text editor, completely ridiculous.
Yes, that's the PPI of a 27" 1440p monitor and it's plenty sharp at normal viewing distance.
