Was playing Fortnite until all servers just went down...at least I got my solo win just before it happened. View attachment 234889

Wait, Fortnite doesn't have an offline single player mode?

@INSTG8R yes Forza 5.
@AlwaysHope i really wanted to play Outer Worlds. I can't. After you get the first main mission, you have to go end open a water valve, inside the compound you get attacked by drone/robots. Every ...single...time i run out of bullets. It's impossible to shoot all the robots, you just don;t have enough bullets.
Started the game from the beginning, tried to do side stuff to increase or get more ammo....not happening. That's the first mission and it's impossible to get more bullets.
I uninstalled the game.

That's because they are naturally armored against bullets (because they're metal). You need zap damage, and zap melee weapons.

how much does it cost to get UE5 and Blender on my PC? and any free tutorial vids you have come across that you have found to be particularly helpful?

I might try to create something myself!

Weekendgeek said it all. All I would add, is that it's a steep learning curve, but it's so satisfying when you manage to convert what you have in your head onto the screen. I'm using blueprints at the moment (visual scripting) but fully intend to then embark on learning C++. I'm doing various courses and tutorials on skillshare and udemy, as well as reading up on stuff. There are numerous tutorials on youtube as well but some people have bad habits and will use very inefficient code so try to get into good habits from the start. Have fun and good luck.

Clearing up enemy camps in Days Gone, then the rest of the hordes and I may go for Game+, presumably with all that I've gained so far.
My favourite weapon is the sniper (SSR) rifle and there are five to choose from, depending on your level.
If only there were to be a sequel to this superb game, but sadly it's not to be

Nice. My current fav is the suppressed Ar15 lookalike, it eats ammo though. Did you install any mods?

Is that a sniper rifle? No, no mods yet, but I may well do when I've cleared some more hordes.
I like playing with mods, but not to interfere with the main story, but I've finished that now anyway.
Nexus Mods?
Mind you, this would be excellent! (Daryl Dixon mod)

This mod replaces Deacon's head with Daryl's head,its fully rigged.

I think this is really awesome of you to be so proactive with your imagination, honestly its inspired me, I may give it a go.

dlc 2 childish and boring

Play DLC 2 on the latest patch. It is a bit better now, they updated the encounters.

No, an assault weapon, it's called the Rock Chuck

I've looked at Romero zombies (slower normal zombies, hordes are unaffected) and bigger hordes but I haven't installed them yet.
I do have better (flash)light, better bino's (more zoom), modern silencer (instead of a freaking oil can), and slightly better sprinting installed.

Daryl or Winter soldier?

my final fantasy xiv lev 90 Summoner, just maxed out my gear today, finally got my weapon upgrade after 7 weeks of raids (not doing savage raids)

I am totally hooked on Life is Strange Remastered yesterday and today

I was going to get this, but I feel like they should have given those of us who own the other games a discount on this, $39.99 seems fairly steep for buying the same two games again... :/

in other news, I dyed my weapon a pastel blue metallic

I got both the remastered because I pre-ordered Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate Edition last year never regard that game together with original Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm.

I also pre-ordered Gran Turismo 7 25 Anniversary Edition earlier this month yes I am huge Gran Turismo fan from the first and second game then I didn't get PS2 and PS3 even now I got a PS3 slim soft modded and Gran Turismo 2 again.

the life is strange remastered is getting really bad reviews on steam. I'm going to just stick with the originals, this looks like a cash grab to me

@WhiteNoise these reviews as of today wowza! God of War is on track to beat Witcher 3 (percentage wise)

 

[tabascosauz]

Been learning DCS a lot over the past few weeks in the F-15. Picked up the F-16 module yesterday as my first full fidelity module - just starting to learn and memorize the procedures.

Nice, do you go Keyboard+mouse or dedicated controller stick?

 

[tabascosauz]

Nice, do you go Keyboard+mouse or dedicated controller stick?

Stick+throttle, I tried flying the F-15 on KB+mouse and it was barely manageable (didn't even try landings), I'm pretty sure flying full fidelity like F-16 on KB+mouse is just impossible lol

Well, there is no mouse aim, so you would just be flying on KB only, mouse is for camera look if you don't have headtracking, and full fidelity needs mouse for clicking buttons

What's your latest tech purchase?

Nice. the 5700xt really benefits form water cooling imo I still have an irrational fear of water cooling. As I said before, I'd love to get another Arctic Accelero for this card, but they appear to be discontinued. how did you know to do the washers? or was just experimenting to get some...

Got it. Sounds too sophisticated for me. I'll stick with RPG/FPS games instead.

I said the same thing before I started, I'm sure most people have that reaction. If you fly warbirds or non-clickable planes (free Su25 or F-15/Mig29/Su27), just having the stick and your keyboard is all you need. $80 for a Thrustmaster T16000M, not too steep. But rabbit hole, definitely. Then you say "it would be nice to have a headtracker for dogfights" or "what's it like to have a throttle?" and before you know it you're in this boat now

I got a little burned out from FPS games so I thought I'd try something else.

I hope I get to try the 'thrustmaster' role someday...





but on serious note, why are there two sold together for space sims? what makes space sims different? why would i need two?

I'm not a space sim player or expert, but I do believe the left stick is their version of a throttle. Just that the spaceship engine works in all directions I guess.

Well that's the thing isn't it, if you don't experience something, don't know what your missing. I'm just to set in KB+M from many years of using them for all computer stuff. As they say... can't teach an old dog new tricks!

I had a flight stick for windows 95 or xp days, can't remember, but I recall preferring mouse and kb, it worked fine from what i remember, but i just prefer mouse and kb for flights...

I just hope we get a valve index 2 vr system at end of 2024 or 2023. i'd like to give vr a go, im almost ready to make the plunge, i just want one more refined upgrade before i do
