    No worries mate, I can understand work getting in the way.  Just hard to judge between leaving a server up and no-one playing it or wiping the server.

    Would you jump back on the vanilla server @Greboth in the meantime perhaps? I have some ideas for it.

     

    Yeah I should get back on vanilla.  I just keep getting distracted by other modpacks 😄

    It’s a tricky one to compare to the SteamDeck in my opinion.  Yes it’s a handheld gaming device but for the performance I’m expecting it to be, at minimum, twice the price maybe even 3x.  At that price point the competition then stops being the SteamDeck and becomes gaming laptops.

     

    Still it’s good to have more options and i’ll be keeping an eye on its development.

    E3 Cancelled

    Most gaming related events seem to focus on current and upcoming games but looking at numerous ComicCon's there's some focus on teaser trailers for new things but a lot of the panels and guests are from old shows.  So I think it could be cool to have a retro focused one in a similar vein especially as 5, 10+ years later people might be more open about some of the things that happened during production.

    The Mandalorian

    There's been a few rumours going round that Grogu going off with Luke was supposed to be the end of the story line but Grogu returning was forced on the series.  Whether it's true or not who knows but it makes sense as they do seem to have stagnated with Grogu.  Especially as Din's story is tyng up with Bo Katan's and seems to be around the restoration of Mandalor which doesn't seem to have room for Grogu.

    GT 7 PSVR2

    in Gran Turismo

    Posted

    I've been reading and watching a fair few things on the PSVR2 for this very reason.  I love racing in VR on PC but it would be cool to have FG race nights in VR too.  Though I know I wouldn't really play anything else in VR on the PS5 so it's a lot of dosh just for some GT7.  There's also the issue of what does the game look like in the headset - obviously people recording the game record the game as it but the foveated rendering, lenses, screen door etc. all "degrade" the image you see vs the image recorded.  

     

    I've come to the conclusion I need to try one before buying but nowhere I can find has a demo of the PSVR2 😞 So might just spend the money on a CSL DD upgrade instead 😄 

    PS5 Additional Internal SSD Storage - Heatsink or Standard?

    A solid state HD should consume very little power, therefore a Heatsink is just a money grab that seems unnecessary to me. 

     

    It’s more complicated than that though as you can overheat an NVMe and it will throttle performance to cool itself down.

     

    They don’t draw much power but the heat is focused to controller and memory.  Constant and large read write operations will overheat a drive without a cooler.  Gaming isn’t quite that intensive but the drive will certainly get warm - though warm is actually a good thing.  It’s also further muddied that gen3 drives aren’t too bad but gen4 drives get significantly hotter.

     

    If memory serves the PS5 is gen4 so I’d say get a cooler.  I don’t know how well the PS5 cools the nvme but the degradation and performance loss is considerably worse if they get too hot than a little cooler.

    Your thoughts on the Ev furure

    In Canada where it gets to -25C regularly in the winter and the distances between cities can be quite long (over 400 km between Ottawa/Toronto) your car might not have the range to get you there.

     

    But how often do you travel that far?  I don't know about your situation or Canada's but in the UK the average journey is only 12km.  I know for me, out of a 250 mile range EV, I could get around 6-7 regular weeks of driving out of it before I'd need to charge it.  That's not to gloss over the other problems with EV's, of which I agree there are many, but range is often given as an excuse when in reality, the range of EV's easily covers 99.99% of journeys.

    hydrogen and EV cars

     

    Hydrogen fuel cells are arguably the better solution than pure EV's as they can have significantly higher range, quicker to refuel and you don't need a drive / garage at home.  The big problem with Hydrogen fuel cells though is efficiency; as in the energy you get to put to the road vs the production, transportation, transmission losses (substations, pylons etc. not gearboxes) etc.  From whatever power source we use to produce hydrogen, only about 25%-30% of it actually makes it to road whereas pure EV can skip a lot of those steps making them about 50%-70% efficient.

     

    Now we could just burn the hydrogen in an ICE but you then still have all the problems of producing the hydrogen in the first place and burning hydrogen still produces things we don't want like NOx emissions so that's out too.

     

    EV's have a number of problems especially when it comes to electricity generation and infrastructure on a large scale.  But they are crazily efficient when compared to other options; 2-3x over hydrogen fuel cells and more like 4x to ICE, so I struggle to see an alternative to EV's.

    Where are you going first in Season 2?

    in Call of Duty

    Posted

    Where am I going? well where I went is HC.  HC, or Tier 1 as it was, is always my go to when playing solo.  Having played so much core in a party, I had forgotten how campy HC can be; the first game was TDM on Dome and we only won before the timer as I was running round and got 32 kills as everyone else was too busy sitting on their thumbs in corners.  Still it's great playing some HC and getting used to the super quick TTK again.  Not to mention being able to more easily level up the rubbish guns.

    Well Karen, if you paid attention you would ask yourself what the hell is a playist. We all know what a playlist is, but a playist?

    Also competitive is  4x4 and not 6x6 so a top player only has to carry 3 sorry asses instead of 5

    The "playlist" is also limited to hardpoint, control, S&D according to the announcement (I hope that's wrong and there is actually more than that).

     

    Thank you.  I feel with such a witty, well written and strong rebuttal to my post that I have no other option than to change my opinion and and whole stance on SBMM.

    Nice thing about it is that people won't be able to complain about Skill based matching. This is inherently skill base matching

     

    Nope, I'm still going to complain about it 😄 Because having a "casual" playlist with SBMM and a competitive playlist with SBMM is such fun.

     

    This just makes it even more ridiculous they've kept SBMM in "casual" playlists.  The big complaint about SBMM being in "casual" playlists is it makes every match a competitive game just without the rank.  I'm not really a fan of it and still stand by that the casual playlists should be solely connection based and competitive SBMM.
