Product placement in the new Naughty Dog game - Lemmy.World

The trailer for Naughty Dog’s next game: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet looks positively awesome. If features good character writing and performance - something that I look for in this studio’s titles. One thing took me aback though. You know how they say no new James Bond movie will enter production until they secured enough product placement deals to make a profit on the film? This trailer suggests something similar. Nor sure how I feel about it. Maybe I just did not like how in-your-face it was - it didn’t bother me as much in Kojima’s Death Stranding… Anyway, Reznor and Ross are making the score. If nothing else, there’s gonna be some good music to listen to!

Building Zombie Index Controllers - Lemmy.World

When batteries in my VR controllers died, refusing to charge, I had to come up with a simple hack to bring them back to life, on a budget.

Is MSI Afterburner still a must? - Lemmy.World

Back in 2007 I built myself a gaming PC with two brand new GTX 8800 cards (SLI, baby!) and nearly cooked/choked them to death in first week of operation. What I learned back then was that nVidia drivers did not create a proper fan curve that would ramp up with rising temperatures and that I needed a piece of 3rd party software named Afterburner to keep my system cooled. It’s been nearly 20 years and probably a dozen different graphic card models since then. I have just finished installing a render box for my wife with a 3090 in it. Installed the drivers. Installed the Afterburner. Tuned it. Then it dawned on me: Is this still a necessary step? What would happen if I did not install Afterburner? Don’t nVidia drivers control the fans properly? Logic dictates it would be crazy for the official drivers not to keep the card cool, but I’ve been doing it one way for so long that I am too afraid to experiment (risking hardware damage?). When you’re afraid to let evidence lead you, next best thing is surely asking strangers on the internet - so here it goes: Is MSI Afterburner necessary? What would happen if I don’t install it? Do YOU have it installed?

[minor story spoiler] Playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth before finishing original Yakuza Series? - Lemmy.World

Some of the reviews of this game mention a major story line ::: spoiler story spoiler in which Kiryu becomes the main protagonist of the game and goes down a nostalgia-driven memory lane adventure, revisiting old spots, etc. Considering this is supposedly pretty central theme for much of the game, ::: would you say it makes sense to play [b]Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth[/b] not having completed all the mainline Yakuza games? For context - Yakuza: Like a Dragon was my first game in the series. Like many, I’ve fallen in love with the madness, the cheese, the comedy and the world of the series and started playing the Kiryu saga of Yakuza 0 - 6. I am currently on number 3, and wondering if it makes more sense to soldier on, play through all originals before picking the latest entry, or to just jump in and enjoy the new title. In other words: How much do you recon would Infinite Wealth spoil the original series, or how much would not playing original series spoil my enjoyment of Infinite? Really curious about people’s thoughts.

All grown up - Lemmy.World

A week ago or so I posted a tan colored cutie that popped up in my garden. Wasn’t quite sure of what it was. I think now it’s pretty clear - and also has 5 friends all within few feet of each other.

I have no idea who this little guy is. Just popped in my garden looking all puffy and cute. - Lemmy.World
