It’s not 343, most of that leadership has left or fired. It’s Halo Studios now, game runs UE for graphics and the Blam! engine underneath for AI and everything else.

If you want a CoD game, pretty much any CoD up through Black Ops 2 is still decent, but only if Activision actually let’s the game go “on sale”. Halo games have a fantastic story (up until 5 at least) and the Master Chief Collection is usually on sale for $10.

Yeah I saw a guy convert an old Toyota pickup into an EV and it cost about $18,000 IIRC. Biggest expense is obviously the batteries, followed by motor and charging system. Madman kept the original 5 speed which I absolutely respect.

Also him whining about the building because he didn’t get the contract to renovate the place or some dumb shit. “Eeerg the escalator broke” bitch shut up they just became stairs move your bloated legs once in a while

Don’t forget your best friend uBlock Origin (or ReVanced or Tubular or whatever other YT ad blocker you like) when you watch, just to make sure they don’t even get ad revenue from you

I was a Windows user up until last year. I ditched it for EOS after I got tired of telling Windows NO I DON’T WANT WINDOWS 11 for the 500th time. Between having to manually remove Cortana, Edge, trackers and spyware and having ads shoved in my notifications, I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Now, as an average user they’re not gonna care about any of that. Hell, I didn’t start caring until I upgraded from 7 to 10 (I deliberately skipped 8) and they started enshitification. 10 was good, at first. It’s what they added that made it unbearable.

My biggest praise of Linux over Windows is not having to check for updates for different programs manually. I just hit sudo pacman -Syu and it does it all. Proton just makes my games work and I can do everything I did in Windows. Can I play AAA games with anticheat? Yes, but not all games. The ones I can’t, I really don’t feel the desire to play anymore anyway.

No, see, there won’t be another console, so Phil will be CEO until death (of Xbox or himself)

Same, the last roughly 40 hours of my gameplay on the Deck have been PS1/2 and Xbox games, with a few hours of New Vegas sprinkled in.

Fuck you RFK my Casio can’t and won’t connect to the internet, go swim in more sewage you dolt

Just wait until they add VTEC to it

You have to use the Google Play version of OSM for Android Auto, plus tweak a setting or two in the advanced settings of AA. As for the maps itself it’s been fine, I use GPS not Google Play Services for location, so I need to make sure the phone is in clear view of the sky for best results, but it still works in the center console of my car. Just make sure your location services are on before opening OSM or it acts funky.

Did the same thing last September, my S21 Ultra’s battery was getting tired and I was tired of the Samsung bullshit. So far it’s been great and so has battery life, plus it’s a breath of fresh air to only have apps I want installed without needing ADB to remove them after Google/Samsung decides they want them reinstalled every few weeks.

Only downfalls have been my broken banking app (which might be the actual app being broken based on Google Play reviews) and the amount of tweaking I needed to do to get OSM as my default map for Android Auto.

I finally have a phone that actually feels like mine, not just a leased device from the manufacturer.

Ya know, I told myself when they brought Verdansk back that I wasn’t gonna spend 70 fucking dollars for BO6 just to help level up guns, and even though I was tempted I didn’t do it, even when it was on sale. Shit like this is what reminds me as to why I shouldn’t buy it. Yeah, I’ll play your game because my friends and I enjoy Verdansk, it’s a good map and is fun for us to play, but I’ll be damned if I give them any money for it.

They locked one of the meta assault rifles in a season 1 battle pass (Krig) meaning you literally cannot unlock it and have to buy a weapon bundle to use it. You can pick the gun up off the ground, but not make a loadout with it without spending money. Luckily I’ve earned several of their free CoD points from previous free versions of the battle pass to unlock a bundle for it, but I shouldn’t fucking have to do that.

I’ll just cost them money to host me on thier servers now, until they remove Verdansk again and I’m not gonna play Warzone.

Didn’t they just announce it a few days ago? I was not expecting it to release already, wow

Battlebit Remastered is my first thought, feels like Battlefield and looks like Roblox/Minecraft. It’s fun and plays well and has community servers which were active last time I played.

Disclaimer: does have Easy Anticheat software

They definitely should. The other day I was installing Need For Speed Underground on my EOS PC and of course it’s not on ProtonDB because it’s not on Steam, so I expected a headache.

Nope, added it to Steam and it just worked. No settings needed set at all. I’d love to add that info to the ProtonDB but can’t.

I genuinely prefer the graphics of older games…

This is because a lot of older games were going for an artistic style, the graphical fidelity of today’s games was too far out of reach. BioShock is a perfect example because of its beautiful art direction.

AAA games used to have character to them, now every person has to have 1200 individually rendered pores and a remaster every few years to make it look more realistic (cough cough The Last of Us)

Same with curved TVs. I knew a guy who dropped $2500 on a 65" Samsung Curved TV thinking it was the coolest thing ever. He mounted it on his wall and quickly realized he made a mistake because of the horrible viewing angles. Unfortunately for him, he threw away the box at the store because it would t fit in his car, so he was stuck with it.

I’m using them lol I know I could sell all 3 for a good price, 2 are EVGA K|ngP|n cards and one is a FE that has a very good overclock potential. I’m not looking to upgrade now, they still work fine.
