Aragami is pretty good so far, even if the checkpoint system can be crap. Like, I do a platforming section to get an item and than I need to leave the area (full of enemies of course), just give me a checkpoint right after I get the item, don't force me to do all the platforming part again when I die.

My immediate though is that you must be reffering to the long fabled Star Trek Deep Space Waifu - a new Netflix Star Trek anime

Where no man has gone before.

I miss-clicked and now it won't go away

Yeah, me too. Weird.

Update on the Destiny items:
So a slim UPlay style Blizzard client confirmed? Makes little sense otherwise.

Meh, PUBG isn't clicking on me. I regret buying it on GMG.
The biggest problem I have with PUBG is that it's so easy to leave the game frustrated. Having runs where you get absolutely nothing done just end up feeling like wasted time. And often the runs where you don't even finish near the top end up being the most satisfying.

Like the other day I managed to shotgun a guy from a moving bike, and then again in the same match another guy from moving jeep. Felt real good. Of course when I looted the jeep guy and took his guns, I somehow managed to not take any bullets for any of the guns I took (I was outside the circle so I was in a bit of a hurry), and then ended up dying because of that, but eh.

Yeah, I can see that. Eh, at least I hope crates and items will pay for it.

I want to buy Hollow Knight later on, but that map mechanic seems lame.

The map mechanic might seem lame, but it's fine. The map updating as you explore would have been better from a downtime standpoint, but it updating when you sit on a bench adds a little charm to the whole experience. As you relax on the bench, taking some pause from the adventure, you update the map.

Some parts arent updated though till you die in those parts. At least that happened to me. Sat on all benches in one area, but there were still parts of the map that I could not see in that area unless I died in them.

Anyone know when/if prices of gpus will come down? This 'artificial' pricing is complete bs - I'm regretting not getting my card before prices shot up.

Not for awhile since the prices pretty much shot up quickly. Best just get over it if you want to upgrade and buy it.

it's less so that he's hard to find, it's more that not finding him is really punishing and finding him is not really rewarding, you just get the full map and that's it

i don't get what that mechanic accomplishes, it's really binary and uninteractive

You don't get the full map. He only partially maps each area, you fill in the rest.

I like the mechanic personally, i get excited every time I hear him humming.

It doesn't go more than 40% off these days, which is barely a saving given the low base price. I'd say $5 for an extra ~couple hours of gameplay is reasonable.

Fair enough thanks.

Speaking of which, anyone got any good Nvidia Inspector settings for Rage? I have diagonal screen tearing and I wanna eliminate it.

im in SEA and my local trusted computer stores told me to not expect the vga price to drop anytime this year, if it does, its probably gonna be early next year.

If/when nVidia and AMD release versions of their graphics card which aren't usable for mining is what I've heard.

As part of their 20th anniversary celebrations, Human Head Studios are going to be hosting a Rune developer stream on their Twitch channel at 16:00 CDT. Several people who worked on Rune will be there to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the development of the game, and will be there to answer questions from Twitch chat.

For those that don't remember Rune, I would recommend watching LGR's excellent video review.

There's also going to be an "exciting announcement" on August 29.

Time to replay!
I have Rune Classic which have some cut levels - is it very noticeable? Or maybe for the better?

Haven't seen any tearing on any games with creators update, what are you talking about?

Well, it's a well known issue.
There's a new setting called 'full-screen optimization', unless you disable it per each executable, borderless fullscreen can tear.

Never had this happen to me personally, not sure that's part of the system.

I think the cuts were for the best. The campaign flows better with some of the Hel and underground cavern levels removed. Once you reach the surface for the first time, it really takes off. The cut levels can still be played with developer commands or the Rune Extended mod.

Huh? Borderless Gaming and borderless fullscreen in general work exactly the same on the CU.



Can you be more specific? I can't find any option like that.

It's under the properties for executables, like where you'd change the compatibility mode for an older version of windows.

We do have an option to globally disable fullscreen optimizations and it has been present since the Anniversary Update (the CU added the option to turn it off per game without removing the global setting, in case you had a problem on only one game).
You can find it in both the Game bar options and in the Windows Settings under Gaming, Game bar. The setting is "show game bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified".

Ok so I guess it didn't effect me because I already turned all that stuff off. TIL.

Monolith (Shadow of War) - "Shelob is the unsung heroine of Lord of the Rings"

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1419628

Who came up with this story

I literally can not
I love the "it goes some way to explain why she wanted to eat Frodo" bit. Like, being a huge ass spider who eats everything that comes across her path isn't enough, noo. Need more motivation. God, the thought that this git is writing two story heavy games about LOTR almost wants to make me play Shadow of Mordor.
But then I see a few minutes of footage and am like "Nope, I'm good".

I just can't fathom how someone with a literature degree and a bunch of "Tolkien experts" can come up with somethings that your average fan fiction author would be ashamed of

I just can not
