It is the original, played an hour of it this morning.

Good way to kill some time though, haven't played it since the 90s.

Fired up MGSV again recently. Turns out that if you let it sit for an eternity, you'll come back to loads of resources and plenty of points to spend on cool new high level staff. Anyway, I'd been working up one of my S+ troopers and was nearly up to S++ in combat and... I hosed up. Turns out that staff deaths during FOB infiltrations and events are permanent.

Folks, please pour one out for Smiling Jackal. Far and away the most significant loss among my beloved Diamond Dogs (Huey doesn't count). :smith:

Yeah, for whatever reason I thought that was only so that they couldn't be snagged by someone infiltrating my FOB. Oh, well. :(

At least I had enough saved up to start on my third FOB, so I'll have plenty more folks soon enough.

Hey all, in the discord we're going to start doing a virtual board game night using the tabletop simulator.

We're currently trying to gauge interest and figure out the timing, so if you're interested fill out this form: https://forms.gle/GNTfG47JKC4eZLWi9

Finally, it's a bit weird right now and not everyone that wants to play has or is able to afford the game, so we're going to try and arrange a little mutual aid in our community game night. People are already volunteering to chip in for four-packs, so please do not let lack of money keep you from joining in on socializing.

Thinkin about getting a RTX 3080 when it releases. I have a 2080 Founders Edition but I'm pretty dissatisfied with its RTX performance, enough so that I am seriously tempted to violate my "once every several generations" GPU update, RTX is just that bad on the first gen RTX cards. The lighting looks really really pretty, but the performance is so so bad.

Apparently the increase in capability of the RTX cores for the 3000 series is high enough that you can run RTX on a 3080 with everything turned up at 4k resolutions, instead of getting like 20-25FPS on a good day if you're over 1080p.

The preliminary data suggests a 100+ % increase in framerate while using RTX vs the first gen cards.

It's honestly not bad. $15/mo and includes live gold services with it, which is $60~/year anyhow, so $10/mo after you cover the regular live services. Basically like buying 3 new games a year, cost-wise. Sure, games will come and go, too, but the variety isn't bad.

I wonder if Cyberpunk is going to release on game pass. Lol. Cyberpunk. Release. Lol.

Yeah, their xbox gamepass ultimate poo poo is $15/mo. I haven't had to pay that yet, I renewed gold last year and added it for $1 until my gold expires, sometime next year. So 1.5-2 years of gamepass for a buck.

I'm waiting for reviews. I have a 2080Ti on a block, so my likely options are a 3080 or 3090. I'm really thinking of waiting for the next gen at this point or - wait and see the rumored 3080Ti/S card that should fill the price delta between the 80 and 90.

I have a used 1080 Ti currently and I'm probably going to end up with a 3080, preferably EVGA but also considering FE if I can't get the EVGA.

If I was still on pascal, and I didn't VR, 100% the 3080 looks like the winner of this gen. It get's a little tighter for those on 2080s and particularly 2080Tis.

E: Also - I'd avoid founders. I have a 2080Ti FE - and the fan was - lacking so I just decided to water cool everything.

I’ve had a 1080 for about four years, so I’m most definitely going to get a 3080 as soon as it drops. I’ll also use that as an excuse to finally build that water cooling loop I’ve been meaning to get.

Anyone into Ace Combat, they cranked up the DLC machine again after the insane response to the 3 DLC missions. No missions this time around, but more of the superplanes from previous games, and a bunch of skins and other poo poo to weeb about.

The demo was pretty solid so I have high hopes.


Also that documentary I posted about it was pretty solid, highly recommend. Gave me new found admiration for Rodney Mullen and Steve Caballero in addition to the Birdman.

I beat Death Stranding. 175 hours, all preppers 5'd and found about 1/2 the memories

I enjoyed the hell out of it. Slow burn of a story, some incredible moments and visuals, and just a good time.

If you ever wanted to Kojima like the cool kids but getting into MGS is too much of a struggle then play this. It's purestrain kojima doing what he wants and how he wants to.

If the rumors are true that Kojima's working on a Netflix series for it then I'm down.

His choice of actors was incredible for this. Every actor chosen gave the story substance and really benefitted the story. A hard, HARD especially on this was Guillermo Del Toro, who exists to be basically the most perfect Kojima character possible. Just really wonderful casting and acting, way more than I'd ever expect from a game.


The social aspect of the game was great, and I absolutely love the reason for Likes being a game mechanic. And the reasoning why your canteen filters water into clean refreshing Monster Energy

So yeah its good.
