I liked AC: Origins way more than Odyssey. Part personal preference because I think Egypt is way cooler and underrepresented in games than Greece, part because I think Odyssey just threw in too much unfocused junk. I also really dug Bayek and his story. I hope the Vikings game is a return to form.

Yeah I loooooved Origins, Odyssey is fun but it just didn't grab me the same way Origins did.

Pop the top lid off. The vents and fan are likely clogged. They’re easy to clean.

The OG PS4 was kind of a bitch to clean the fans iirc, or get to them anyway

PS4 pro and slim let you pop the top off to easily access the fans

If you’re gonna blow a bunch of air around, stabilize the fans with a toothpick, so you don’t possibly gently caress up the bearings by reversing the fans. I have no idea if that’s true for tech, just read it on SA long ago and it made sense

I had that fan for the PS3, and the noise coming out of that was horrible.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

i sold my ps4 pro because i cleaned it out and it was still sounding like a 747 was taking off

grabbed a normal one after figuring itd be quieter. After a month, fan sounded like takeoff was imminent

i returned it and said gently caress it, ill wait and see if they make a ps4 slim someday or wait to see how the ps5 backwards compatibility works out. My hearing sucks as it is and having to play while trying to listen over fans like that is too much for me

Yeah they all get loud as gently caress. It's a consequence of putting a tiny fan in a tight space with very little airflow.

For the next one they should just go balls out and make the top a 320mm fan with a grate over it.

iirc the first batches of PS4 pros did have huge issues with fan noise, and there was a soft hardware refresh

The Boeing 737-200QC is the undisputed workhorse of the skies.
There’s a direct correlation between how good an AC game is and how little time they spend on the Templar / alien bullshit.

It made for kind of a weird finish but it was hilarious how Bayek's wife is off doing world-shattering poo poo while he was running around assassinating merchants.

Didn't the Xbox one S turn the entire top part of the case (if you have it horizontal) into a fan intake?

E: yeah they did it's some obscenely huge fan for a console, like half the height of the Xbox itself.

I think they said the PS5 is gonna be whisper quiet and can be in an enclosed space or some bs, but I’m sure all execs say that about their hot new console (no pun intended)

Hot thing in enclosed space gets hotter until it shuts down is apparently above them.

Yeah I don’t want to spread false info but I’m pretty sure I read something like that verbatim

Just give me proper backwards compatibility already. I’m all Marie Kondo over here; i’m over having consoles & wires everywhere

I wish console developers would just accept 4k/8k/whatever will always be ham fisted and a console will never compete with a pc, so they could channel that into something else

I mean, I don’t wanna derail poo poo here, but yeah. I’ve been selling so much gaming poo poo I’m embarrassed I had so much attachment to it all. Very liberating.


If y’all wanted to tidy up literally rn is the time. People are at peak corona boredom and the non-gamers are checking poo poo out. Sold my Switch, controllers, and some other bits for $650. Pretty much what I paid for it all.

Just waiting for that animal crossing switch to go back in stock 👀 it was mostly to seize an opportunity and work through my PS4 backlog so I can sell all my physical games

If the prices are still inflated, I’m almost tempted to sell my PS4 pro

ok I finished the campaign that Battletech game loving rocks, gonna spend my weekend on all the expansion packs.

It's not just the nerdgasm of teenage Hagetaka (eh, eh? See where the name came from?) playing the best version of tabletop I've ever seen. It's the little design stuff that seemingly every game gets wrong. When your last unit makes its move, you don't have to hit OK to finish your turn. When you're plotting your movement, different colored lines point from the hex you're thinking of going to, to the enemy units that can see you, the ones that you can see, and the ones that you can fire at. God, it's so well designed.

Did that have the busted keyboard? Lowkey interested. Can you add internal storage? I mean, it isn’t cheap/easy right? how many gb?

I had a 2015 MacBook Pro which was cool and actually had ports. I still have my surface pro 4 but honestly the thing kinda sucks

I love Mortal Kombat because it's like a bunch of 10 year olds mashing their action figures together and making up stories to go along with it, regardless of how little sense it makes, and it's all done in earnest.

Yeah it has the clicky keyboard that caused people issues. I didn't really mind it but the new Magic Keyboard is better.

It's this one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-...p?skuId=4600200

There's no way to increase the storage on them but 512 GB was never an issue for me.
