Do they? When I did the basic "Can you play with people one PC if you have PS4, it was a bunch of dads saying "Can I play with my son this way?" and getting a "No" answer, so I assumed that didn't exist.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic, or about that anyway. It would be neat but at least in my experience, people oddly rage more in casual play in OW than in comp.

If Cyberpunk ends up sucking, you can always go play Dragonfall or Hong Kong which are good. Or maybe play SNES Shadowrun which has aged ok.

Probably has to do with possibly having thyroid cancer in my case, they're taking the whole shebang out in a couple months

In theory though my thyroid being broke would explain an awful lot about my health according to my doctors so even if it turns out the bumps are benign losing the thing could be a net win anyway?????

Well except for being in a hospital for 24 hours, noooooo

You get jello. Maybe even Italian ice since you're getting your thyroids out. The thinnest of silver linings but it's there. Also you get to make your bed move in fun ways.

Is there an official list of teammates yet? I never really thought they surpassed ME2's cast. I thought ME3's cast sucked, give me Jack/Miranda/Thane/Moridin over the white-bread boring poo poo of Ashley/Kaiden and Vega any day of the week.

ME2 had the best RPG side cast outside New Vegas and SR: HK. I don't see new Bioware with most of the ME2 writers gone topping it.

Edit: gonna add "relatively recent" as a qualifier as well

Questionable Content. I don't even know why I was reading it except that I had it as part of my regular internet checklist and was too lazy to remove it.

I tried reading this because it was an ex's favorite comic and I just had to stop because it was rarely funny or clever. It was penny arcade but with relationship drama instead of video games.

The first girl I dated in high school lent me her annotated copy of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. But that's not important. What is important is that no one has mentioned Hark, A Vagrant! and we should all feel a little bad about that.

JTHM was enjoyable but not as much as Squee or Invader Zim imo. And yeah obviously Hark is top tier on par with Achewood. I forget about it sometimes and I'm not sure why.

Remember the VGCats comic where the joke was one of the cats went back in time and did an abortion on the other cat's mom with a coat hanger because he said the "i raped ur mom" gamer thing, and then the next comic poked fun at people who got offended by it by drawing more aborted fetuses, a thing a sane person definitely does

Sounds like PA's Dickwolves thing. Glad I stopped reading it.

Should I go see Arrival or John Wick 2?

Arrival is a big character-driven sci drama with some mind-bending stuff that is really well-presented. John Wick 2 is a series of really fun action scenes (though imo the second one is the best in the movie). Very different. Pick the one you feel more inclined to see. I for one am glad I saw Arrival in theaters because it's a great way to experience it.

I dunno, I watched GitS a few times before seeing the Matrix and felt they were very distinct. The stories were not that similar and the main point of comparison is that are cyberpunk with guns.

It was a heavy inspiration on the style and aesthetic.

Fair enough, but it also drew inspiration from martial arts films and other sci if sources. The rhythm of the movies also felt very different. GitS had long quiet relatively slow sequences punctuated by intense action (that even followed this rhythm) while the Matrix was characterized by constant visual kinetic and the whole bullet time thing.

As a general question to the thread, what game were you best at? It doesn't need to be like professional level play or being a speedrunner, but everyone's had their obsessions throughout gaming. What game absorbed your time and you wanted to master in your own way?

I think the only game that would apply for me is Dystopia, which was a HL2 mod that was kind of popular here. It was a team FPS set in cyberpunk with complex multistage objectives that were really fun. I played for hundreds of hours and got good enough to rank in the top 10 players from time to time and carry teams. The game is dead though, sadly.

Hiya. I'm trying to get through the Nathan Drake collection, but Uncharted 1 is just banal platforming plus unfun shooting. Should I stick it out for the story and dialogue (which I do kinda like) or just jump to 2?

If you're enjoying the story but plodding along through the other parts, good news, that's where I was when I played through the series for the first time last year starting with 1. The first game is really rough and I didn't get the love for the series until 2. 2 gets way more fun with more/better story and miles better combat scenarios and then 3 is a weird mix of great and terrible and then 4 perfects everything. They added in some decent stealth to shake up the combat along with allowing you to get through much of the game without fighting if you didn't want to.

Finish 1 because it's short but if after a few hours of 2 you're not feeling it, don't bother with the rest.

It does finally do 1080p at 60fps... with some graphics options turned down a bit depending on the game. And 4K at 20-something FPS. It's pretty poo poo yeah.

But I get it. Every retail outlet that sells TV's is pushing 4K so Sony's thing needs to say 4K. Why no 4K blu-ray? I have no loving clue.
