No problem. I was going to post tonight anyway, I’m playing around with days to see what gets the most engagement. I don’t think any one day is better than another by the looks of it though so I might just stick to Wednesdays

I feel you, man, being an adult can suck sometimes. It gets really busy, especially if you have additional responsibilities (partner, pets, kids). Not saying that’s a bad thing, I wouldn’t change anything and am happy with my additional responsibilities, but it does definitely limit the free time

If that’s your mindset you’d love [email protected]

That sounds awesome. Definitely gonna check it out

I’ve had that game recommended to me before. I have zero idea what it’s about. I might try it after reading your comment

[–] cod 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree on the ESO point - I probably only have 20-30 hours in it but it’s been exclusively as single player as I could do. It is a fun game, I quite enjoy it. I should open it again soon

I tried playing Daggerfall a couple years ago but couldn’t get into it. Maybe I should try your method

 

Also, I’m playing around with what day of the week to post this, and seeing what days get the best interaction. If you have a preference, please let me know!

Oh that sucks, I’ve only ever played it on the 360 on a disc without internet connection.

[–] cod 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh absolutely, you need at least one truly vanilla playthrough first. Even UESP I wouldn’t recommend until your second or third playthrough, everyone should see Skyrim at its jankiest, it’s sort of a rite of passage.

I’m doing a co-op playthrough of Halo: MCC with a friend. We’re currently on Halo 3. It’s very nostalgic

I always have UESP (Unofficial Elder Scrolls Patch) installed, even for “vanilla” playthroughs. From there, usually graphics mods, there’s tons of good ones. I also like SkyUI, which, as the name suggests, changes the UI. Alternate Start is a must when you get to having many characters (I think I’ve got 60-70 characters). Ordinator changes the perk system in the game, and I sometimes have it on, depending on the playthrough. A Quality World Map is another favourite, as the name implies it changes the map in the game to be much nicer. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is fantastic, it adds the northern part of Cyrodiil (the place you’re at in Oblivion). RDO adds thousands of new dialogue lines, which is a must when you’re at thousands of hours. Random NPC dialogue gets repetitive after a while. Open Cities is also nice if you have a decent rig, as it removes the loading screens when entering/leaving major walled-off cities. It reminds me of Morrowind that way.

There’s lots more I like that I just can’t think of right now, but they’re mostly gameplay mods. Adding new locations, side quests, characters, that sort of thing. There’s so many dumb mods too which just add stupid shit, those are fun to play around with. A giant (and I mean absolutely massive) cow with NPCs to worship it, turning all dragons into Thomas the tank engine, changing horses to my little pony characters, changing Alduin into Macho Man Randy Savage, and many, many more. There’s seriously so many silly mods that I don’t think anyone could ever get bored.

That’s awesome. I hope you enjoy it

 

It might be a hot take, I’m not sure, but I just loved this DLC. I usually like to wait before buying a game or expansion and see reviews and get it on sale, but I actually pre-ordered SotE, booked four days off work, and played the hell out of it. I still am thinking about that world all the time. The level design and verticality blew me away, the environments are gorgeous, and the atmosphere is FromSoft perfected. I specifically remember when I first entered the Ancient Ruins of Rauh and having to stop for a minute because it was just so beautiful. If you enjoyed the base game but skipped the DLC because you heard the complaints about the difficulty, just get it, it’s absolutely worth it.

I saw this question asked in another gaming community and thought it might be a good discussion here too.

My personal stats:

My games with over 1k hours (approximately):

Skyrim - 5,300

HITMAN - 1,350

Forza Motorsport 6 - 1,200

Other games with > 400 hours: Fallout 4 (mostly modding), Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Oblivion, all the Bungie Halo games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Dark Souls III, Elden Ring

I’d love to see what this community plays the most.

PS: to all who celebrate, merry Christmas, and I hope it was a lovely day.

 

Lots of people have traditions for their favourite Christmas songs and Christmas movies, but I don’t see games get talked about as much. It makes sense, there’s not many Christmas video games, but does anyone have anything they like to play specifically around the holidays? For me, I always go back and play some Elder Scrolls games. I also tend to play a lot of racing games around Christmas (tradition with my dad), and of course most of my playtime in hockey games are during the winter. Does anyone else have anything they like to revisit, or any genres they save, for this time of year? I’d love to hear about it

 

I was just wondering at what point to set up an equalizer for a turntable setup. I’m moving into a bigger place soon and will be taking my grandfather’s old equalizer and speakers from the 80s (not audiophile quality I’m sure but it’s free and I can upgrade in the future when I have more disposable income). I know typically you’d have the turntable plugged into a pre-amp, that plugged into an amp/receiver and that plugged into speakers. I tried looking it up online but all I found was either explanations on how to use an equalizer, or people talking about whether a specific equalizer was good or bad. Where in the “chain” of components would the equalizer go? I’m quite new to home theatre setup obviously. The only turntable setup I’ve ever used had an equalizer built into the receiver so that was simpler to put together.

This is my first post here so hopefully this is the right community to ask the question to

 

Mind you, I’m not the pickiest person out there and only have a couple 4Ks (all I’ve got at the moment are Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge on the River Kwai, the Good the Bad and the Ugly, and Blue Planet II) but I was quite happy with this one. The original was shot on 35mm. There’s no DNR for this release thankfully, so lots of beautiful film grain. Sound is great too. I’ve noticed details on this version I’ve never noticed watching it in the past. I’d recommend it if you like this movie
