My favorite game to compare NMS to is actually battlefront 2, one of if not the single worst launch in video game history, after realizing their mistakes putting in the time and effort to make the game actually run well then continuing to update the game for free even after no one is expecting more content. Yes the core mechanics of BF2 is not the best even though there isn’t a single loot box or p2w mechanic left. Same with NMS the core game is still the same, it’s not a brand new concept or ground breaking new mechanics to the same game they just keep working on it, fixing bugs and adding new things. I genuinely think with the state of companies like Bungie charging for Destiny expansion in 2026, a 70$ Pokemon game with 30$ dlc, and AAAA flops this is all we can ask for back your games, COMMIT to long term development and not charge for what seems like a joke of content backed by fomo

Yeah it’s been like 5 years so far I remember some of it but I definitely missed some footnotes from last time. It’s basically brand new loving it so far

Re-reading house of leaves since it’s been so long and just started Dracula for a book club

There is an FX show (cake) that has a segment called shark lords. It’s a parody where they go to track down a shark to fuck it. I assumed that’s what you were referring to. Cool name tho

Random question, for games that require kernel level anti cheat or competitive games that just need anti, would wine work or should I use dual boot

I have a regular bambino and I would say it’s worth just for the better solenoid. The regular when you stop the shot has a one way and that means every time all the water basically drips for 10 seconds which kinda in my opinion messes up the shot a bit. Also it runs out of water quick.

Dune before the movie came out

Outlaws isn’t worth it tbh, I really enjoyed death stranding though great game

Shogun showdown

Finishing the Easter egg at the end of origins in black ops 2 zombies after trying all night and seeing the special cut scene with my friends on Xbox 360 has to be up there as core gaming achievement.

Funny enough it was RuneScape before work leagues V

My favorite aeropress recipe is his iced coffee one actually works really great. It’s pretty much the inverted method with a steep time for 5-7 minutes. If you pre chill the glass and add just a small amount of ice, the coffee is the perfect temp and concentration to pour over ice with out a deluded cup. He has some good recipes and occasionally his old classic recipes can just not be that good, didn’t really use my press until I found this one that worked great since it’s always hot where I live.

Yeah it just depends roasters tend to stretch the definition of light roast. I like to look for also single origin because it’s usually more accurate in the roast level and they put more care into distinguishing each batch.

As someone who does not play VR or any very specific emulation I have had 0 issues. Thus said you maybe should have look into your very specific use cases and driver support on whatever card you purchased before getting it. I have the 7900xt and adrenaline is not bad it’s got all the features I want because I don’t really play any raytracing games or cases like you are describing.

Lol, I would imagine it’s not that difficult to buy an office PC and throw a graphics card in it if finding an itx case and planning a build sounds like that much of a headache. At the point where you want a machine so specific and you are tired of building PCs why bother at all on atheistics? Just buy a console my friend no point in doing any sort of planning. If you want a machine that looks nice is small and runs multiple emulators then I’m pretty sure you are out of luck… Wiis be cheap and don’t look bad and you can mod them to run any sorta games just by getting homebrew on a thumb drive. Small form factor cases and the hobby of building computers are fun for some but it’s not everyones cup of tea.

Surprising it’s not too expensive! There are a few small form factor GPUs of the current generation that could absolutely crush any emulated game from the Wii and back. I would say one of the best is the 1650 super for the high end. Or if you are really budgeting a 1650 would suffice. Everything else is a matter of taste a few YouTubers are creating awesome PCs out of old office PCs that are tiny in comparison. If you are building from scratch ITX, can get expensive but since it’s a low power pc for your tv similar to a console the parts should not be bad especially going with last generation parts that would still blast through Wii at the highest fidelity and anything lower would run incredible based on the emulator.

After owning a AMD card for 6 months now I can say the software experience is solid. Really depends if you are playing games with or without ray tracing. I don’t really, so it’s really been pretty good overall.
