Well ended up in the ER for back pain now one of my legs went numb for 4 hours so far.

Yikes, definetly have a pinched nerve. Hopefully its not something that will require surgery. Back pain is the worst.

Dr. Vader us in the house. Yep, most likely from what I've read. Had the scan today and waiting for Doctor to review and call. Thanks to all for well wishes.  An update:

- ER could not see me after 4 hours and I was in so much pain I had to leave. Travelled 2 hours to the next closest ER this morning through level 10 pain and had a great experience - saw doctor in ten minutes. Bottom line, I cannot sit for more than 2 minutes without insane pain. Leg is still numb. They think I won;t be able to run, lift or sit for 8 weeks, but waiting for final verdict on that. Sad They at least gave me the good drugs, so back pain is releived as long as that lasts, but my leg is still a peice of Blu-Tak gettig jammed all over the place because I cannot feel anything LOL  Now I have to figure out how to use Steamdeck standing.

Also have to figure out how to not get additional injuries from standing all the time,

Ah, the fun of PC upgrades. I've been fortunate in not receiving any defective parts so far. One of my biggest concerns.

Probably not a huge deal for most parts. But an unknowingly defective motherboard is pain.

If custom PC builds were not a pain we would not get the satisfaction out of it. Happy

The anger, adrenalin, dissapointment, panic, soft realisation that we may have been the problem, recovery then joy -- it's like Kubler-Ross' seven stages of loss. Actually, looking at that, that summarizes all relationship breakups I've gone through! Happy

90s PC level design, how I will never miss you. I have no clue what they were doing back then but me coming from a Nintendo focused background to those PC games like that one, or the Star Wars games, I have no idea where they learned to make levels.

So Switch 2 next week? Or later this week? the controller is leaked, everything is leaked. There is nothing left, show the damn thing aready.

It's funny i have old youtube from 11 months ago with thumbnails saying REVEAL NEXT WEEK??!!!

[eurogamer.net]Eurogamer's Top 50 of 2024 (Ranked) Number 50 is Plucky Squire.

Has anyone here played the Plucky Squire?  It looks superb.  It's available on Switch, but I fear that the humble handheld won't do it's visual style justice and it hasn't released on Xbox One.

It has recieved mixed reviews. Too hand holdy and too much repetition is the main complaint. I'll check it out when it goes on sale.

Switch version reviewed pretty well. Try the switchup video review.

Quick question many months/years later.


huntdown-5145927.jpg

Has anyone tried Huntdown yet?

Second thing, I was playing Doom 2016 on a 1080p tv last night and it looked pretty great. Usually you can't beat the small OLED screen or 2k on the big tv with Mclassic.

I got 2 new rifles.

I put off buying this game for so long because I thought it looked too blurry and I'd rather play it on a more powerful system. But a few minutes in and those thoughts melt away, it's smooth, the motion controls are great and it looks pretty great, albeit with a softer image quality  compared to Crysis 2 remastered or Metroid Prime remastered.

Lights dynamically cast on the environment, materials look great, there are surface reflections everywhere and my favourite thing is mist.and steam hanging in the air. Very atmospheric.

How are you supposed to use the chainsaw? I've been shooting, then running in to finish with the chainsaw. Does anyone just run in with a chainsaw?

There are times when Doom 2016 reveals how shallow it is.

Usually in a square or rectangular room it locks you in. You can basically keep running in a circle, or square shape around the whole area. As long as you don't stop you rarely get hit and can run up to and point blank kill enemies.

Other fps would punish you for blindly running about.

I own it, no gyro controlsSad

Did you guys see all the Switch 2 leaks? The accessory manufacturers have gone wild.

Also if you watch Nvidia dlss 4 presentation they are back porting it to older series cards, so it looks like Switch 2 will benefit.

Some features are different but ray reconstruction and better image quality on dlss 3 is confirmed.

Also Brainchild on Famiboards, you may remember him as a developer from GAF, Nintendo certified had some interesting info I'll summarise after breakfast

I don't think I can do justice to what Brainchild wrote about dlss on Switch 2, so check the video.

You can fast forward to the time stamped info.

He's saying there is unreleased information on how it runs on Switch 2 in a closed environment, that he has seen but wont leak. So there's very little (cost) to using it on the platform.

I was actually watching dlss 2.0 videos from Digital Foundry last night. The AI upscaled image at both 1080p and 4k actually looked better than native.

They even rendered at 540p, used dlss to get to 1080p, not only did the framerate massively increase but the image quality was better than native 1080p.

They also did 1080p rendered and output to 4k with the same result.

So, as I spotted in the DLSS 4 trailer Nvidia released they've improved it for all rtx series.

The Blackwell rtx 40 and 50 series get every new feature including frame generation.

But all series models get the rest of the improvements. This is important as Switch 2 was rumoured as having Dlss 3.5 at one point, then Universo Nintendo editor said it was 3.1

But even the most conservative estimate put it at dlss 2.0

It's rumoured that the T239 in Switch 2 is in line with rtx 3050 series.

So Nvidia dlss4 improvements were listed for all series cards including the weakest 20 series.

They've changed the rendering model from CNN to a transformer method for more stable and better rendering.

Plus there's enhanced deep learning anti aliasing, enhanced dlss super resolution and enhanced ray reconstruction for ray tracing.

This is cool, on the back side of the Switch, approximately below the usb c port at the top there seems to be a large magnetised circle area.

I can imagine a magnetic power bank or HDD that just clips on there.

Edit: this may be just the 3rd party case shown

It's looking less and less likely, but I hope they still have some surprises to reveal, like how it will also make perfect toast, as the design is looking uncharacteristically itterative - read: boring.
