this game is a ton of fun, even when your co-op partner is a complete fuckwit and just doing stupid shit left and right (which also often will effect you), it still manages to be a pretty awesome experience.
glad i gave this one a try some years ago, and looking forward to playing again now that its out of early access! |

i have a hard time believing that microsoft is going to pro-actively refund every account that has been used to purchase a book through them with DRM.
likely many of those same accounts arent open or are changed, so how would something like this work anyways?
edit: you just get locked in to spending it on other microsoft crap, and it is refunded to "microsoft accounts" that people may or may not have anymore, which likely have an expiry date for funds added to them.. so it just goes back to microsoft in the end for a good portion of this, it looks like. |

100m from whatever much smaller amount they invested in making that mobile game is likely the fuel for them releasing other timer-based mobile cash grabs from their franchises, like Blades.
Really a terrible bunch of rubbish modern Bethesda is putting out, besides Id's usually successful sequels. |

Woke up to the add-on bug and fixed it quickly with this.
"Update: Mozilla started to roll out a fix for Release, Beta, and Nightly versions of Firefox. The fix uses Mozilla Studies, and you need to make sure that this is enabled to get it. Mozilla notes that you may disable Studies again after the fix is applied and add-ons have been re-enabled. You need to make sure that "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" is checked on about:preferences#privacy."
full article https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/04/your-firefox-extensions-are-all-disabled-thats-a-bug/
I used this same method. It took maybe... 20 minutes for it to update after I turned Studies on? Turned it off, uBlock and Ghostery are still working for me.
As a general rule, it's not a good idea to download scripts/executables/unoffical workarounds from random forum posts. 
"This is the fix Mozilla has published to be installed via shield studies, but skipping the shield studies part. You can be sure it's not malicious because it is signed by Mozilla... and if your browser installed unsigned extensions you wouldn't be looking for this solution in the first place." |

I guess I got lucky and it broke then got fixed while my system was asleep.
Edit: Wow, literally 1 minute after posting this all of my addons disabled. Fuuuuu...
Edit #2: I used this fix someone posted in the comments on Mozilla's official fix.
my firefox was still busted when i checked about an hour ago, and the fix in that link you provided instantly remedied the situation. thanks. |

so its $500 without the tracking stations and controllers, or $1000 with them..
Are those really so expensive/necessary to warrant the same price as the headset itself?
I wonder how quickly they will come down in price for people who go with the 'headset only' option |

its funny all the people complaining about valve's 30% cut now that another corporation told them its a problem.
Valve has the money to invest in whatever the fuck they want, not just what clickbait following 'gamurz' think is the most socially pressing issue of the day. You think they just started developing this after Epic made a storefront and challenged their position? This is a long-term project for them and I hope they have the software side ready before too long to go along with the new tech.
144hz is still a long way off for matching framerates, but there are tangible lag reductions possible even with lower-framerate software on a higher-hz display. As a plus, it can push more frames to the displays when hardware catches up to that level as well. |

All my fans are RGB and my new 1660Ti has an RGB strip in the shroud for the fans at the top of the card. If anything, this is nothing more than an evolution from the old CCT days from 20 years ago.
I used my RGB fans as system indicator lights. One acts as a drive activity light, one is a heat warning, another is network activity, and so on.
You know how many LED's my gaming rig has?
1
the power button
The rest of it is a well cooled, noise insulated steel fortress. Which is how you can tell I built my rig myself  Because my rig is just like my heart. Dark, tungsten steel coated fluffiness.
Ditto. And even the power LED has dark colored masking tape over it on my tower to dim the overly bright LED there.
First thing I did when I got my first (and last..) Razer mouse recently was to shut off all that chroma shit so my mouse stopped glowing. When gaming I don't like the distractions, especially. |

Hrm, I wish NS2 had caught on a bit more, but it just required too much teamwork, or map knowledge/mechanics knowledge or something, it never seemed like it really took off, in terms of player count.
it was quite popular for a while, but people lost patience with the 2-5minute map loading times, which is understandable. it launched with some severe technical issues that turned people off from a otherwise wonderful game. hard to recover from that when you have your chance in the spotlight, as they did at release. it sold *very* well. we would not have subnautica now if it didnt perform as well as it did on launch. with the rate of new "blockbuster" games coming out, its easy to get swept under as the new flavor of the month arrives, especially with said technical issues.
if you like teamwork (and players who are willing to play as a team to succeed) it is still one of the best multiplayer games out there. |

| The only question in my mind, is whether the new console generation will have separate releases of Cyberpunk 2077 for the older and newer generation consoles much like GTA V did when it released. CDPR already said they have a hard-on for "Rockstar's quality" regarding their focus with CP2077, so it will be interesting to see how this translates, as that game and these new consoles should be coming out around the exact same time. Either way, I'll be playing on PC, but it will be interesting to see how this unfolds, given CDPR's reputation as being "consumer friendly". |

| I gave the Mario port a go on my MiSTer FPGA box through the commodore 64 core and it is very well done. its pretty laggy compared to the nes version but is working with far less so this isnt very surprising. |

It's funny he blamed no man's sky issues on player's expectations, when it was the creator going around and hyping said expectations, and then not delivering.
Makes me doubt Star Citizen's ability/willingness to deliver on even 2/3 of their promises with statements like that, as if that wasn't a concern already.. |

But there already is a Genesis Flashback console that has 80 games. Is there something better about this new emulator than the flashback one?
Genesis Flashback is widely regarded as one of the worst efforts in Genesis emulation. Anything by ATgames should be avoided unless you need the cheapest option possible, and even then you'd be better off emulating on PC or building a small pi device. |
