The fact you can actually buy one makes it superior to something you cant buy I'm in Australia and just bought an imported Steam Deck. Still worked out way cheaper than a ROG or Lenovo and that's with the added cost of adding a 1TB SSD. When I'm ready to upgrade I'll probably go for one that's properly released here. Hopefully the rough edges with the Windows devices are sorted out by then. Legion Go does seem pretty good. --- A Fallen Mascot |

Both can be true. Yes older games will play better on it but even the newest games youll still be able to play at 30fps for the most part. Chances are if youre buying a portable gaming system youre buying it for the portability, not because you want the most powerful thing out there. Eh that's mostly because most games are still crossgen. Starfield is a mess unless you're in an interior. Alan Wake 2 is about 20fps. Returnal runs like crap. This is going to get more common as time goes on. Do not buy a Steam Deck for new AAA games in 2023 unless it's a bonus thing and you already have a gaming PC or current gen console tbh Keep in mind there's still something like 4 years left of this generation at a minimum. --- A Fallen Mascot |

Punished_Blinx 11/16/23 10:11:45 PM #126 | The problem goes way beyond MCU writing with the sheer amount of bombs in theaters this year.
People are only going to go to the cinemas in droves for an event movie. Superhero movies aren't an event by default anymore. People didn't even bother showing up for Michael Keaton returning as Batman. Audiences were very, very harsh to franchises that felt tired this year. Marvel has suddenly found itself right on that same hole with DC and as we've seen with them it's a very tough hole to dig out of. I think we're very quickly going to find ourselves back in a world where people only show up for Spider-Man, Batman and the X-Men. --- A Fallen Mascot |

If the shooting happened in the River Oaks community of Houston instead of Uvalde and Ted Cruz's daughter had been among the children destroyed by that weapon, I suspect he'd change his tune on gun control. So long as the victims are other people's children, he and his ilk won't budge. They don't care. If he did change his tune then the party would pressure him to quit 'for his mental wellbeing' The depths Republicans will go do not surprise me anymore. --- A Fallen Mascot |

Punished_Blinx 11/16/23 5:27:58 PM #43 | Look at this article from 1968
https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,902311,00.html For the first time since Robert Kennedy's assassination, the surviving Kennedy brother returned to his desk in the back row of the Senate. Teddy Kennedy came back at a poignant and appropriate moment. After the gunshot killings of Bobby and Martin Luther King, the Johnson Administration drew up gun-control legislation that went considerably beyond an earlier law that forbade the mail-order sale of revolvers and automatics. Chin cradled in hand, Ted Kennedy last week watched the Senate debate that measure. Even so, many advocates of tighter gun laws are disappointed that the present bill omits the two principles that Bobby Kennedy had sought: 1) that every firearm in the U.S. be registered, and 2) that every gun owner be required to seek a federal license. It may take another act of horror to push really effective gun curbs through Congress. Think of how many tragedies like this could have been avoided if these were implemented properly all the way back in 1968. Honestly feels like there's no hope of anything changing until the kids of today are old enough to do something about it. By then we're looking at them trying to make up for a century of bad choices and morals and that's assuming the country still isn't split over it. --- A Fallen Mascot |

Topic | Has anyone noticed Robert Pattinson says weird things in interviews |
Punished_Blinx 11/15/23 11:52:13 PM #1 | Just saw someone tweet a quote from this article
https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/robert-pattinson-designed-this-elegant-ear-shaped-sofa There was a time when the only piece of furniture I had for about six months was an inflatable boat that would double as my couch, bed, and dining table. I loved it very much but it caused a lot of back problems. Of course people seem to be taking this at face value. But I recalled something. This isn't the first time he has said something outlandish I had a stalker while filming a movie in Spain last year. She stood outside of my apartment every day for weeks all day every day. I was so bored and lonely that I went out and had dinner with her. I just complained about everything in my life, and she never came back. People get bored of me in, like, two minutes. I have extraordinarily heavy saliva. Its funny, I noticed it the other day. If I try to spit, I can only get it about a foot. Someone informed me the other day its because Ive got heavy saliva. I thought it was because I didnt have much lip power Have you ever had someone spit on you in kind of an erotic way? Its pretty great. [The best smell is] definitely the scent of when youre in love with someone, and the smell is incredible. It brings out an animal side of being human. And the worst smell um. I dont really mind grimy stuff. I love the smell of things people really hate, but burning hair is revolting Lots of people tell me I smell like a crayon Like Im embalmed. "The first time I went to see the circus, somebody died. One of the clowns died. His little car exploded. The joke car exploded on him. I'm sure some people have noticed but people seem to be still falling for his purposefully bullshit stories and it's pretty hilarious. --- A Fallen Mascot |

i loved wonder and was thinking of picking up nsmbu deluxe next but now i am hesitant <_< i still don't fully remember/understand how the system works, like do you need X amount of coins or whatever every time you want to save or just when you open the new point or what? From memory it boots you back to the main menu after you save and deletes it when you load it. Can't remember if there are further limits. The point is making you redo levels if you get a game over.

Yeah this. It was still fun, but not GOTY material. There was a lot that they just didn't get right, at all. Maybe if they make a Starfield 2? That is a bit of a shame when it comes to modern AAA games. Their next game is Elder Scrolls. They'll probably wanna go back to Fallout after that. If you estimate a 5 year development time you're looking at 10-15 years for a potential Starfield 2. The days of figuring out stuff for a sequel is over unfortunately. It's why so many AAA games are so samey. --- A Fallen Mascot |

Don't buy a GPU with less than 16GB of VRAM if you want to play current gen games that are made for consoles first. PS5 has 16GB of VRAM and games like Jedi Survivor and Last Of Us Remake are coming to the PC market expecting that, too. What the hell happened.

Sure you have the freedom to spend money on anything but you can't eat at a restaurant or go to the shops on a whim without it becoming a big deal. In a way it's exchanging some freedoms for others.
Being rich and not famous would be much better. Not sure why people get so bitter and angry when they talk about it. At the end of the day they're just people as well. If he decides to have kids with Zendaya pictures of that kid becomes a valuable commodity. It's a really fucking weird life. When your entire life is a business and a resource to a lot of people it changes the dynamics with everyone in your life.

what? It's not about lack of detail. Physical appearance isn't necessarily the most important thing when it comes to acting in a role.
