    Cyberpunk 2077

    Awesome - thanks! I saw another mod to do this, but it was removing a bunch more effects from the game that I don't want to mess with. I'll probably give that a try, unless anyone happens to know there's now an in-game setting to switch this somewhere? Edit - wow, think that was the easiest mod...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    BTW, I picked up a new video card a few weeks ago (then exchanged it for the Super last week) and have been enjoying the hell out of 2.1 for the last ~140 hours of game time. The game looks amazing and smooth at 4k RT-Ultra settings. Everything they fixed since launch has really added up, and...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yep, 2.11 is out now. So far the only difference I've noticed is this super-annoying glitch effect in the inventory screens. I think it's supposed to be a transition effect that lasts a split second (I'd be ok with it lasting 0.25-0.5-ish seconds) but now I'm getting this for like 3-5 seconds...

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Yeah, I looked at those charts on both Steam & Ubi, but apparently the Gold Edition I bought & played in 2021 doesn't exist any more. I googled it, but couldn't tell what's new in the current Complete Edition. The last time I played (was very close to 100%'ing the game and all DLC around August...

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Does anyone know the difference between "Gold Edition" and "Complete Edition" of Valhalla now on Steam? (no luck yet on google) I bought the Gold Edition on U-Play (mid 2021) and enjoyed it a lot! Some of the DLC wasn't completed yet when I played, so there's probably a little content out there...

    4080 Review

    I just realized this week that I can't fit an RTX4080 card in my trusty old Corsair 380T Mini-ITX case... sadness. Now trying to decide if I need to move my system to a new case, or just wait to see if a more compact version of the new cards is coming... Anyone know if any of the partner...

    What is your "coping" strategy for the time until you can get a latest-model Nvidia/AMD GPU?

    My beloved 2070-Super has started making weird clicking noises whenever the fans turn on... really hoping this doesn't mean I gotta do something stupid-spendy in the near future... So yeah, I've been holding out for a 3080 TI, but I'm not ok with spending over about $800, fuck spending $1400+...

    Cyberpunk 2077’s first major update coming in the next 10 days

    I'm still holding out to play until I can re-map all of my controls. Need to re-map the Use key from F to E, quick-whatever from Q to F, and need to put the Inventory, Quests, Character-Specs, Weapon-Reloading, and a bunch of other stuff on my mouse buttons, which are all set to the wrong...

    Cyberpunk 2077 Player Discussion Thread

    I fired it up for a few minutes last night. It was running a lot smoother than I expected, but I didn't get outside the starting Corpo building yet. On i5-6600k, RTX2070S, 32GB, and only running at 1080, I was getting upper-50's fps most of the time. Settings were Ultra with Ray-Tracing and...

    Gamers hate the Epic Game Store but spent $680 million there anyway.

    It feels pretty gratifying to have like 20+ games on their store without paying a single dime for any of them... But seriously, I'm never paying them a single dime ever. So just put everything on Steam so I can keep my library all in one place. I don't appreciate them fucking with my neat tidy...

    Steam and Epic Christmas Sale 12/19/2019

    lol - you made me go check the page again to be sure. I got the sale price, but deff paid too much. I'm too impatient to play RDR2 and just happy to see it on Steam finally. Ended up paying $54.99 for the "Special Edition" after sale and another $5 off from the steam holiday tokens.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I bit the bullet and got it on Steam today. Guessing this will be the motivation I need to finally upgrade from my GPU.

    Steam and Epic Christmas Sale 12/19/2019

    Well, I'm a sucker this year - just bought RDR2 and AC:Odyssey mid-level editions for a total of $97 so far. Think that's the most I've spent on any steam sale since the very beginning when we could get tons and tons of bundled games for that price...

    Netflix Test Varying Play Speeds: Makes Filmmakers Mad

    Yeah, I've been using a browser plugin to adjust play speed for a few months now - don't think I can ever go back to normal 1x speed viewing again. A lot of shitty movies on NetFlix are a lot more endurable when you can power through them at 1.2-1.5x speed. Sometimes I'll completely loose...

    Rage 2

    Question: are there any upgrade-able vehicles in the game besides the Phoenix? I held off on doing a lot of the convoy fights until I had the Pheonix all upgraded, and now that I can attack convoys I'm racking up tons of auto parts that I can't spend. Hoping I find at least one more vehicle I...

    Red Dead Redemption 2 Coming to PC November 5th

    Sweet! Been looking forward to this, but I'll still be waiting 'till it gets a steam discount. Hopefully it goes for <$40 sometime around xmas. ...I wonder if this will be the excuse I need to finally buy a new video card. I had decided my next GPU should be one that comes with a free copy of...

    Rage 2

    WTF - lol, well thanks for the info at least. Yeah, no voices in the towns for me. I bought Rage2 through Steam - why would I need to login to Bathesda?? Took me a while to figure out my login... now I'm logged into Bathesda.net and their launcher - no idea if that's going to make a difference...

    Rage 2

    I just finished the main quest today - perfect timing! Ready to start the expansion now, but I can't figure out how to get to the new zone. Any ideas? I tried just driving across the valley to get to the new map area, but it wouldn't let me "leave the known world." :cautious:

    For Honor & Alan Wake [EPIC Store] Free Till [DEAD]

    Nice move by Epic here! I like a lot of Ubi games, even though I prefer to keep them on Steam. For Honor was one I was waiting to pay about $5 for, but this move by Epic means I'm one step closer to accepting their platform for other games. (only another 92 steps to go...) Also interesting that...

    Assassins Creed Unity May Help in Notre Dame Reconstruction

    AC Unity was a beautiful game. I tried playing it years ago but didn't get very far because of how they broke several of the stealth mechanics that are common in other AC games - it was nearly un-playable for multiple reasons. I've been thinking of looking for some mods to fix game mechanics so...

    WinAmp is Coming Back From the Dead in 2019

    Wow, that brings back some memories. That news quote leaves a lot of mystery to what the new app is supposed to do. Is this going to be a radio app in competition with Spotify and Pandora etc, or will it let you take all those services and listen to all of them from one player? I'll be curious...

    Unreal Envisioned Through Unreal 4 Eyes

    Huh, that video really didn't look as good as I expected. At times it was hard to tell what was from 98 and what was in the new engine. Weird. But seriously, screw Fortnight and even Tournament. I would LOVE to play a fully modernized visual overhaul of the single-player Unreal 1. It already...

    Skull & Bones

    I loved Black Flag - can't wait to play this! Hopefully the extra dev time ensures they can give it some personality of its own, and it doesn't end up just being a ship sim.

    Logitech Mouse Sale at Amazon

    How often do they run these sales? My G700 is still working great, but at that price I'm tempted to pick up a spare G602 to keep as a backup.

    What (average) FPS is acceptable to you in games?

    60 ideally, but honestly I'll settle for 45-50 in most non-competitive games as long as it stays smooth and has plenty of eye candy in trade-off.

    FS: Pyle 40 Amp Power Supply

    Necro bump! Hope this isn't some kind of rules violation. Last chance to pick up this macro lens for a great price before I decide to just keep it. :cool: The power supply is still up for grabs too. Will accept best offer on that thing.

    Hunt Showdown in Early Release

    Iiiiiinteresting. Looks like PUBG in the wild west with a hint of The Witcher's supernatural overtones and a few other similar game mechanics. Any similarity to TW3 is never a bad thing, but I'd be much more interested if it had a good single-player story campaign and less of the online...

    FS: Pyle 40 Amp Power Supply

    Hey, with the right mount it'll still work just fine on a mirror-less rig. Just sayin'. ;) This thing has one of the smoothest most-precise manual focusing systems of any DSLR lens ever built. I imagine it'd be a dream to use on one of those new mirror-less bodies with the zebra-stripe...

    FS: Pyle 40 Amp Power Supply

    FX. Think the design of this lens actually pre-dates the DX format entirely. I've been using it on my D750 with great results, but just don't use it enough any more to keep it around. It will of course still mount and function on a DX crop-frame body (equivalent of 300mm focal-length) but I'm...

    Can i put a cpu onto my gpu?

    :jawdrop: I... I don't even... I don't see why not! Nothing a little duct-tape and dielectric grease can't handle! I say try it out and you tell us what happens! If you do it right it should produce some very realistic smoke and particle effects at least. Just be sure to get it all on video.

    A Picture I Took 2017

    Tons of good stuff this year! Wow! I gotta catch up on this thread. I've been slacking on photo this year - doing a lot more graphics painting/illustration type stuff for a mobile gaming project. More details to come on that eventually. For now, I decided to off-load some gear to make some...
