Small talk & Chit chat

So in the middle of doing a desktop share over Discord showing a client how to organise a meal plan etc... when I get an email from a work friend, I think nothing of it, Open it up and BOOM, Porn bomb !

Suddenly my client and I are shown about 50+ porn hub pages, Needless to say I was quite embarrassed as first I'm not keen on porn and second, It's just freaking embarrassing XD

Lesson learned, Never open emails mid call ^_^

Im in a clan with Dice, but the majority are US based so getting groups to do things is a pain.

I still havent done pit of heresy. Managed to solo stage 1 and 2 but rest is tough. Need to get the Xenophase exotic finished too
 
Anyone fancy a side by side comparison of Metro Redux PC and Switch? Well tough, you're getting one anyway! :D

Not going to lie, I'm over the moon that it's coming and I want to see what work 4A have done getting it on Switch given how demanding Metro can be. I know comparing PC to Switch is like apples and oranges but I don't have a capture card for PS4 and I know I could 'borrow' other footages that's out there but that would be a dirty crime!

Also, the ever dying optimist in me would like to see Exodus as well, but realistically that would need an insane downgrade to make sure the levels can be loaded

Well, both Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light were last-gen titles, so a Switch Port was always possible given the strength of that hardware.

I wonder if 4A are doing this internally, or if they have hired a studio like Panic Button to do it for them.

As much as some people complain about downgraded Switch ports, it is amazing to see these games reach mobile platforms. That's where the Switch really shines.

Exodus is last gen? ;) :D

According to 4A's Facebook it's been done in-house. Which will be interesting to see what they reckon to the hardware given they tried getting Last Light onto the Wii U but it didn't really get far.

Absolutely correct on the mobile aspect; people forget that the Switch is a mobile device at heart, not a home console. I don't care if the ports are downgraded compared to their PS4/Xbone/PC counterparts, the fact that these games are running well on a mobile device is a great leap forward for gaming in itself.

People need to drop this obession with graphics being everything; it's not, never was, and never will be.

Sorry, meant 2033.

It's cool that the games are being done in-house. They will know their engines better than anyone else, though Panic Button has proven that they can do great work.

Yeah, the perks of Switch are in its mobility, and on such a small screen, the resolution doesn't matter that much.

Aye, I'd hope Nvidia have been giving them a hand with optimizing for their Tegra chip as well since Nvidia is plastered all over the PC version.

That's another thing people need to learn as well, screen resolution to screen size. I've played my Switch on handheld mode 90% of the time and it doesn't bother me, never even occurs to me most games are running at 720p since I'm too immersed to care.

Well I lost access to Discord for a while, Managed to get back on and saw that I wasn't in any groups anymore and basically my entire friends list was empty, Aint got a clue what happened, Account hacked, Account bug, Aint got a scooby, But I will need another re-invite to the OC3D server, Even had to reapply to my brothers server a few days ago XD

Also as I last remember the D2 OC3D clan is quite desolate which is not good for raids and weekly engrams, Welcome to join my current clan, The Ebrithilar, We do raids every weekend, Usually all of them, And any weekly pinnacles like The Pit, Nightfalls etc... also lots of great people in it.

Yeah please join up. I need people to raid with that raid at reasonable times, not 2am or later :)

Dice, you up for another legend nightfall run? :D

Never been a fan of ASUS products, but this intrigues me. Wonder when we can get some early reviews done

Mouse with a joystick. Personally I see this as a useful tool in the office rather than gaming.

ASUS ROG Chakram

Dragging this discussion here from News thread - interesting indeed! Also in something like GTA, where you need mouse aim on foot yet analogue steering is superior when driving, that would be fantastic. Currently I have both m/kb and pad plugged in when I play and switch on the fly. :D Also in digital mode it would be equivalent to multiple side buttons - and would have less of an effect on your aim than pushing a normal side clicky switch.

But this will presumably cost an arm and a leg. Also, interesting how the upper photo seems to have micro USB, glad they ended up going USB-C in 2020.

I hope it has internal memory, having to run their bloatware 24/7 is a dealbreaker for me, especially since I want the mouse to remember its config in Linux as well.
