I’ve never really understood the comparisons between Destiny 2 and Borderlands, honestly. I like both but my brain puts them in very different boxes. Same thing with Warframe.

I like them, personally, and there’s absolutely nothing else that scratches the “I want to play Borderlands” itch. The quality varies a lot by the game, though.

Well that’s extremely neat.

I used to love this game! At this point I honestly remember very little- mostly the commands some servers had to play audio clips. First place I heard Interior Crocodile Alligator. There was another that was just someone shouting “Butt pirates!”

Oddly enough, I remember basically none of the actual game. I might have to try it again!

Grakata!

I know my family is so used to thinking of batteries as ultra cheap and disposable that there was a lot of resistance to using rechargeables purely because of the increased cost.

An hour long battery on beard trimmers is crazy, I agree. I actually have no clue how long the battery in my beard trimmers would last because I use them for five to ten minutes and then plug them up for a week.

I disagree with the AA batteries being a negative though. If you use rechargeable batteries and make sure to have spares,

yep, fully agree. I don’t particularly care for the move to rechargeable internal batteries for literally every device. I can just cycle through a pack of rechargeable AAAs every year or so and be fine.

Am I missing context? What’s ‘thinners’? Is this a drug thing I’m too boring to understand?

I don’t think the issues with Concord had a single thing to do with the performance. That was basically the single way the game was fine.

Crazy that they removed the screaming from subsequent editions of the Necronomicon. Nowadays it’s gone through so many revisions new copies don’t even bleed. Sometimes the modern special editions will whimper a bit, but that’s all you get.

The game is mostly positive? If it’s getting review bombed, then it isn’t a very effective review bombing.

What’s wrong with Funcom?

I thought Conan Exiles was decent. Not great, but fun enough. That’s my only exposure to Funcom afaik.

Usually with self-hosted survival crafting games like this there’s just an anti-cheat toggle somewhere. No reason to have anticheat running when you have a four person private server with your friends, after all.

Oh, that’s interesting. I am also using an R5 3600 lol.

Indoors, my performance is fine on medium it seems. It doesn’t change much from the 60fps I get on low. But outdoors it is rough. Even on low.

Edit: hah, either I did it and forgot- or the game defaulted- to a 60fps frame cap, which explains part of it. I actually get more like 70-80fps with occasional stutters when indoors. Also for sake of discussion, I’m on the Xbox Gamepass for PC version which, from prior experience, might be different in entirely random ways.

That’s extremely interesting.

I have an RX6600 and I’m barely getting 60fps indoors on low. Hm, maybe my CPU is the issue, but I’m well above the minimum requirements.

The difference is probably largely raytracing, though. I’d expect most of the cards that are struggling with the game to absolutely demolish it just by turning RT down.

which is 1.5x more powerful than a 5090

…are you sure? I think you’re mistaken.

I’d be shocked if it was your GPU causing long load times, that’s not usually the culprit for that kind of thing unless you don’t have enough VRAM. It’s probably another part of your system the game arbitrarily dislikes, or it’s just generally being shit.

Tbf, they’ve been doing that with a reasonable amount of success with Rainbow Six Siege.

Honestly, if we’re talking modern games I think games that don’t utilize multithreading to at least some degree would be a significantly shorter list.

TIL. I didn’t realize it started in the browser originally.

Warframe can be super overwhelming, though. There’s a billion things to do and it’s hard to know where to start. I had issues with that when I was getting back into the game awhile back, and I’d already completed a ton of the content. If you actually want tips on how to manage it: set short term goals and long term goals, and just go for those. Shut out anything that isn’t relevant and focus on specifically on whatever you decided was your goals. My long term goal, for example, was to complete all the story quests. My short term goals were basically a checklist of things I needed to do to start the next quest lol.

Plus, the game being almost entirely PVE means that in my experience the community is great. If you have questions or need help just ask, and someone will probably be willing to help. There’s an excellent Warframe community over on the dormi.zone instance. It’s reasonably active and they’re helpful over there. Plus Q&A chat is just in the game.
