CDKeys is my grey market key seller of choice.

True, I was just pointing that out because people keep saying, "well, it said at the start it was going to be enforced, so why are people complaining?" My point is that a) it wasn't completely clear it was going to be enforced (Arrowhead CEO even said this was not well-communicated to...

The thing about the verbiage in that screenshot is that it doesn't really imply that it would be enforced to where if you can't link, you can't play the game. It just says later users will be asked to "TRY" to link their account again. Plus, none of that really addresses the issue of the 100+...

Review scores are already back up to "Mixed" - glad people are reversing their negative reviews in light of what happened. The HD2 community seems to actually be pretty cohesive.

Also worth noting that a strong magnet moving across a hard drive is much more likely to cause problems. A static one, far less so.

Not saying the review bombing had no impact, but I'd bet that the unconditional refunds Steam was giving, as well as delisting the product in 100+ countries from sale entirely, had more to do with it. I hope the negative reviews get cleaned up, and people don't just forget about it and leave...

Good call. At least make it worth someone's time to OPTIONALLY do so (free super credits or some sort of incentive), rather than just forcing it on everyone and screwing over 100-ish countries who can't even normally get a PSN account.

Seems less profitable when people refund your game, whether because they are pissed off at your decision, or they can no longer okay it due to regional restrictions.

I think the tone is fine - from what I heard, people were just bitching on Discord, where it's going to make zero difference. Also, this is a Sony decision, not Arrowhead, they did not want this to happen by all accounts.

Not to mention that apparently in some countries, you can't even create a PSN account. So I guess those people are just fucked?

Dumb move, clearly the game works without it so why force it now?

I had no problem with Windows 10, but I wanted features like DirectStorage, so I switched to 11. The only thing I don't really like is the changes to the Start menu and right-click context menus, but other than that I haven't had many issues. I haven't noticed any ads anywhere, but I'm running...

I picked this up during the big sale on it, pretty good so far. Had some weird instances where it had some really bad hitching, but that seems to be mostly gone.

I've never TKed, but I do admit I will sometimes pick up a dead teammates weapon if it's one I haven't unlocked yet... I try to avoid doing that with Strategem weapons/items, but a primary, sure.

I bought both sets of coasters, they're really nice, super high quality and I use them all the time.

Yeah, for just media playback and streaming, something like the nVidia Shield Pro is going to be superior in terms of format support (Dolby Vision, etc.) versus an HTPC. I just went through the same thing. I still use an HTPC for some tasks but for streaming from Emby I now use the Shield...

If it were me I'd get something like an A310 or A380 for that purpose. Does AV1 encoding, low power, low profile (if needed). If it's just for media consumption I don't know why you would need something capable of more than 4K @ 60 Hz. EDIT - Also, if you need 4k 120 Hz I think you can get a...

I only have a few devices that are 2.5gb and they all get full bandwidth, so they're good enough for me.

I bought a few Keeplink 2.5gb switches, so far they work great. I'm using 10gb SFP between two of them, also works flawlessly. This one looks nice for the two SFP ports, the ones I got only have one each, but they were also cheaper (I think $65 apiece or so).

For me, the big one was back when I was working for a small IT company doing small/medium business stuff. We had a lot of clients with Unifi APs attached to a cloud key that we controlled, so we had several sites on the key for different clients. Most of these clients had like 1-4 APs, so not...

I don't think you have to have the EGS launcher installed to play the game, but it does require an EGS account for multiplayer, from what it sounds like, because it uses EGS servers.

My big issue with them is the planned obsolescence. I've never had a ton of issues actually using their products before, except when they decide to take away features you had previously to drive you towards new hardware.

I meant compared to EK AIOs, sorry - that's all I have experience with from them.

And AIOs by companies like Arctic being cheaper and arguably better.

I have an EK AIO that had a weird pump whine and after some use one of the fans died. It was still under warranty, after some verification they sent me a brand new unit and didn't even want the old one back. So my experience with them has been pretty positive. This was probably a year or so...

I've paid for Windows many times over already, the same versions in fact. If Microsoft wants to keep shoving ads and other annoying crap into the OS, they don't need my money to pay for the privilege. And honestly Linux has come a long way, if it were 100% compatible with all the games I play...

Yeah, after discovering this I'm never buying Windows keys anymore. I used to buy the cheap ones that would only work once, and fuck paying full price for Windows.

Logitech has been generally good, though I have had to replace switches on them because they developed a double-click issue. I've had the G700 (x2), G602 and G604. I liked the G700 best feel-wise, but those both had switch problems after a fair amount of use, and the battery life was...

Yeah I understand the distinction, and it's fair, I just think it's kind of silly to presume that a unit that processes graphics can't be called a GPU because it doesn't process "all" of the graphics? I dunno. It's not a serious issue to me, it's just sort of goofy.

It's admittedly pretty fun to just hop in a random game and shoot some stuff. I have noticed a non-trivial number of idiots/assholes though, which is a shame. But generally it's pretty good.

Honestly, I'd rather have a modern-graphics remake of BF 1942. Bad Company 2 was the last good BF game, IMO. I tried to like BF3 but the unlocks and other BS were too much.

I picked this up because why not, I've heard it's a lot better these days. First impressions not good. First, the game booted to a black screen with audio. Had to Google that apparently you need to disable VSync via an INI tweak to get this to stop. Did that, game starts up. I get in and...

Legend has it that you can download more RAM, if you know where to look...

Okay, so basically if you're playing with less than a full squad on higher difficulties, you're sort of just fucked.

Does the difficulty or number of enemies scale at all with player count? Because I did a difficulty 4 with 2 other randoms and we got obliterated. I don't think they were very good, but even then I was getting reamed in 1-2 hits by the enemies. It was also a civilian escort mission which, as far...

I bought it, it's pretty fun. Randoms seem okay so far, though I am mostly sticking to lower difficulties. I think I did a Hard once with randoms and it was a complete clusterfuck. Sucks that if you fail 20 minutes into a mission, you just get nothing.

I'm not concerned about burn-in, it's not as big of an issue with these newer panels and OLED care features, and I turn it off when I'm not using it (display standby/sleep stops working randomly on my computer for some reason). I hide the taskbar, hide desktop icons using Fences, dark...
