Pentiment sweep

Facebook Marketplace is crazy. Just got a sealed Stadia package for $25. With the deadline for switching these to Bluetooth coming up I figured I'd grab another (it's the perfect Steam Big Picture controller for now) and have it ready as a back up.

Remedy has said that Control Resonant "not a safe sequel," with its new melee combat and action RPG focus. "This is not a Soulslike game. I want to be very clear about that," said creative director Mikael Kasurinen, while commenting, "We know what the competition is... expect combat to be good."

DIABLO IV is finally getting a Paladin/Crusader/Templar class!!! I can finally play this game again!!!

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a remake of the very first Tomb Raider game, and it's launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC next year. gameinformer.com/the-game-awa...

I'm already wondering if this is the same Board or a different Board. My guess is the same Board but pulling forward an older Service Weapon. I'd always suspected that The Board was more ancient and engaged with humanity for a long time. This Sword/Spear looks in like with that!

As the world's biggest CONTROL fan I have so many theories already. We know The Board isn't to be trusted after The Foundation DLC and Dylan be interacting with some other dimensional entity that's misleading him (again). Also, why are the Hiss still seemingly so prevalent? New resonance entity?

This looks fun!

Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

My local Regal has projections that are so blurry it looks like the lenses are smeared with Vaseline. The sound system is so loud I have to wear earplugs since even dialogue in children's movies is averaging above 90 dB. When I can get a higher quality experience at home why bother with theaters?

If movie theaters were a thing consumers loved, they would be there. They go there for horror movies, some action blockbusters. Let me reiterate a line I wrote decades ago about the nascent digital space: Consumers have taken control of their entertainment experience & they are never giving it back.

I appreciate Skate Story upping the game on the "we did not use Generative AI to make this game" disclosure meta.

KOTOR II is my favorite Star Wars game of all time so this has me very, very excited. While I'm normally against remakes/ports, this one could be special since KOTOR was never a "gameplay-first" experience. The story is key, so as long as that is preserved this has a chance to be really special.

We can’t get enough of Yu and Kay! Team’s all hands on deck to finish Cairn but we HAD to do something special for Haven’s Fifth anniversary We gave a small team a few days to make a Haven MINIGAME! A little something extra from our hearts as tribute to Haven’s awesome community <3

I just learned that FINAL FANTASY XV POCKET EDITION is a Microsoft Store exclusive on PC. I swear every time I look deeper the SQUARE ENIX business decisions just seem worse and worse.

Ran into an issue I should have planned for: Bazzite integration with my NVIDIA eGPU has been a nightmare. I went with the new XG Mobile eGPUs since they are super easy to travel with, but Bazzite doesn't play nice when trying to have two different vendors worth of drivers on one device.

Making some big progress in DS2 before the end of the year, but I refuse to progress the story any further until all the roads and monorails are built. Anyone else play the same way?

You guys gave me a heart attack @friendspersecond.bsky.social!!! When you guys said "It's official the FPS podcast is recording our last episode..." I thought that meant you guys were ending in full, not just for the holiday break! Glad you guys are resting, but that verbal packaging needs work!

The DS4 was/is my controller of choice for Final Fantasy XIV on PC! Mapping the touchpad to the mouse helps fill in the tiniest of gaps since it's almost a perfect controller supported MMO. Slap on a Bluetooth chatpad and, baby, you got yourself a stew going!

Watching all your friends play Dispatch but they won't play Road to Empress

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful". For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really? 1/5 🧵

Death Stranding Isolations animated series announced Kojima Productions has announced Death Stranding Isolations (working title), an animated series project produced by E&H production. It will stream exclusively on Disney+ in 2027.

After looking at some more at benchmarks from the RX 7600 I'm feeling relatively comfortable with what they are targeting for the new Steam Machine, but really can't see much value generated if this is sold for more than $500 for the base model.

About halfway through getting our photo backups from Google in Immich and I think that photos duplicated across albums get hit in these counts. That said, learning that you have more than 100,000 photos between you and your wife is kind of crazy... We don't even have kids yet!

Looks like Google Takeout lost thousands of music files I had backed up including music purchased through Google Play Store. The music is missing in YouTube Music too. Has anyone had any success navigating these issues with Google to recover lost media that was purchased?

Rewatching Princess Mononoke tonight. I should play more Tears of the Kingdom. I should play more ELDEN RING. I should replay Okami. I should replay Ni no Kuni. I should start NEVA.

Home NAS set up, converting my former desktop into the media ingestion server and processing hub for Immich, and finalizing all the cancellations of our subscriptions. Short of physical PC games being a thing again it'll feel good for us to own all our media again.

Man... Initial tests with the XG Mobile 5070 Ti EGPU are really awesome. Considering this and the Xbox Ally X are replacing my desktop with it's 2070 Super and my consoles it's a really, really solid upgrade! Not a cheap option, but the flexibility is so nice!

well, at least Drake lost a ton of money tonight

Do I make a brash decision and purchase speakers for my desk? It's the warmest spot in our house and with winter approaching I'll probably be watching and playing a lot more there.

So apparently ASUS decided to shadow drop the new XG Mobile EGPU, but only the 5070 Ti version? I ordered one for my wife and I, but may trade them out for the 5090 version depending on performance. I may hold off on switching to Bazzite on my main drive until I can test performance with this.
