"Oblivion Remastered Patch 1.2 Detailed, Adds New Difficulty Options, Improves Performance, More"

Finally making it run like it should have on release day? Better late than never, I suppose. Once this comes out, I'll continue my playthrough. I was enjoying it but the difficulty and performance issues really hurt it.

Sounds like you need Snowrunner in your life.

That reminds me. I need to get back to Mudrunner. I was enjoying it but I get sidetracked easily.

By the way, I don't know if any of you have seen this yet, but an animator on YouTube used the artwork from the original instruction manual and put together a commercial based on it. The results are actually pretty incredible.

In a way, it's reassuring as it indicates that Bethesda is still Bethesda, they have not all been replaced by competent programmers over the years, it's still the same team that brought us such fiascos as Skyrim on PS3.

[eurogamer.net]Switch 2 vs Steam Deck the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off

Interesting read.  They obviously start off noting that it's not a like for like comparision as the Switch2 version has been heavily modified.  Bottom line seems to be that in handheld mode they trade blows, with the Switch2 pulling a little ahead, but the Steam Deck being favoured because of it's superior OLED screen (for those who own the OLED version of course).  In docked mode Switch2 is clearly the better version.

And it wouldn't be DF if they didn't stop to marvel at the engineering, reitterating multiple times how this is a very impressive feat for the Nintendo handheld, as it's achieving this on a power budget of around 9W up against the Steam Deck's 25W.  And while it is indeed impressive, it's also a moot point since the Deck's battery is proportionally bigger so actual game time is similar on both devices.  I agree with them that it's very cool, but no one will ever care.

What's the power rating on the steam deck battery? Switch 2 is 5220 mah.

Even when I slap the lightest, thinest powerbank to it, it feels almost too heavy.

Is the steamdeck quite heavy then?

it's about 100 grams heavier, or 20% heavier than Switch2.

for comparision, the Deck OLED is about twice as heavy as the Switch OLED

Man, Nvidea's worth has grown tenfold in the last 2 and a half years.  We all saw this coming and we're all fools for not buying as much stock as we could back then.  To be fair, I haven't entered the stock market myself (yet).  Did anyone get in on this?

I did about 6 months ago. I wish I had done it a few years earlier, but I don't see anything but growth coming from them for the next several years. I think it's still going to be a pretty strong investment in the long run.

Good on you.  I kind of agree, but really, how much bigger can they get?  It already boggles the mind.

I don't know, but I've asked myself that very question years ago about Apple and Google, but I never bought their stock. In both cases they always found ways to keep growing. Honestly, this kind of stuff is really over my head and outside of my realm of understanding. And anytime I try to make my own decisions in the world of investments, I always lose money. So about a year ago I found a knowledgeable group that seems to be a lot better at this than I am and it's been working out.

Exactly the reason I haven't dared to make the plunge yet.  I need to find me some knowledgeable people.  Also, I need to find some savings.  With our renovations dragging along for years on end I just keep pouring money into the house.

That's about the weight of the external battery I use.

It is eye opening when you feel the weight. You get, not a lot more time playing with something that feels a bit too heavy to play for extended periods.

Started to think that using a heavy high capacity battery attached via longer USB c cable is better.

Then I hate being tethered to it and if you plug in wired headphones you're physically tied down.

Meh.

Superman was fun to watch. The 1978 version will probably always be my favorite but this one is up there.

I was wondering if it was good. Heard that early leaked review.

Not a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fan.

Game Under Podcast EP 174:

The Wii was the last home console that I was truly excited for. Like the DS, it brought something new table, which didn't always work well, but was a lot of fun to experience nonetheless.

Am looking forward to seeing the new Superman movie. Might go to theatres. Might just wait for blu-ray. Krypto for the win!

Loved the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
