The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I'm enjoying the game on my series s and you can't stop me (the shadows look terrible though)

DD2's performance struggles are pretty good evidence that it's not AAA trash. There's definitely optimization to be done, but that wouldn't be necessary if it was your typical dumb pretty game that put all its effort into visuals and had a light and predictable CPU load.

1. "You can now start a new game!" might be the most pathetic "Patch Note" I've ever seen in my life, although I'm sure something worse will come along eventually.

2. Mindshare is back on the menu, baby! 275 points a week if you play games on 5 different days in a week. If they keep the Monthly Quests the same then we're looking pretty pretty pretty good.

As it is right now the main way people are improving FPS in the game is to murder entire towns so the NPCs aren’t active any more, so I think in this case they may actually not be bullshitting.

are there any videos of people actually doing this, and showing the FPS improvement? Cause by the time youre strong enough to do it, you're through the entire game anyways.

Yeah it's this, the performance is consistently terrible but I'm having too great a time to care. And it's clear it's not because of graphics, there's so much poo poo simulated concurrently and it's what makes larger fights so delightfully chaotic and worth high-fiving your pawns after

Kinda lovely that they spoiled the dwelling in those patch notes, would have been a nice surprise

I need to update my home to a mesh router thing. Xbox series doesn't have wifi6. And that's really all I care about that's wireless, so will ac1300 work well? The difference is literally hundreds of dollars..

I have an Ethernet run now but I used WiFi forever. Specifically an ac1300 and honestly I never had any issues. I never had issues playing online but I got a lot faster download times once I just ran the cord.

Without spoiling a lot, is the ashtray maze something you have to come back to later? Because I seem to be stuck in a loop very early on.

Played the first level and change of Evil West. It's like a time capsule to AA games from like 2015 but with better graphics and...I kinda love that? I really appreciate that it spends about 30 seconds establishing that there are vampires in them thar hills before a train gets blown up and then you're clubbing zombies with a steampunk glove.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

The Foundation is solid, the AWE's entire purpose was to be an Alan Wake 2 teaser buildup/bait people's nostalgia for Alan Wake 2 but Alan Wake 2 is out now so uh...

Honestly as an AW fan, the AWE DLC was kind of a disappointment

Foundation is better and continues some plot things that were left unfinished in the main story of the game

AWE is miserable because it ties Control ( a fun setting) into being subservient to Alan Wake (a terrible setting)
