Okay, signups are officially closed. Unofficially, I'll probably let in anybody who wants up until I've actually assigned targets, just let me know.

Man, you tore through those.

I didn't even know this was a thing I wanted, but now I can't think of anything I want more...

Reminder that the sign-up deadline is tomorrow.

Yeah, I love the Pro. Spider-Man looks amazing on it.

What?

BREXIT BREXIT BREXIT! Looks like you guys are losing all your voting rights but staying in the customs union.

One must be a member of the Party if one wants to get ahead in this world.

Maybe if the trend continues. I might run for local office at some point though, and based on uncontested races in this county having a D next to your name automatically loses you about 600 votes.

Bump for a reminder that the sign-up deadline is next Tuesday, November 20.

Pikachu was fuzzier than I ever imagined him. I thought he'd be smoother, like a cat...

?

That's so stupid on two different levels. First, that once every six months would be quite "regularly", as in there would be a regular interval between shootings. Second, it happens much more often than that...

I keep seeing people saying this kind of thing (about other games too, like the Fallout 76 beta), but isn't that only a few hours' worth of download? Like sure it's not right at launch, but it hardly takes up the full 4 days. *Edit - Semi-related, the last time I preloaded a game on Steam it took longer to decrypt the preload files than it would have to just wait until launch and download the regular files.

I love it so much except all the times I hate it with a fiery passion. Those times don't manage to marr the amazing times though.

If we don't get some more people you and I aren't gonna have much trouble guessing who our Santas are. ?

Yeah, the problem lots of people have been reporting, about accidentally threatening people when you try to talk to them, is one of the few complaints I haven't encountered, since from the start I've made it a practice to holster my gun unless I actually need it. It does annoy me that with long guns if you "holster" it you'll actually just hold it down in your left hand, not strap it to your back, unless you do another action that requires both hands, but it's just an aesthetic annoyance and not an actual mechanical problem.

I haven't been able to figure out how to manually saved, so if I turned off autosave I would be playing a permadeath mode...

I'm actually on time this year! Post in this thread by November 20 to sign up, and on November 21 I will assign each person a giftee to rain generosity upon. Rules: Digital gifts only, typically Steam since it's the easiest to mess around with wishlists and gifting on. Other services/gift cards are fine though. There will be a separate wishlist thread to help you figure out what your target likes. Make sure your Steam wishlist/other wishlists are up to date. Suggested price of $10, though under or over is not against the rules. What this means is, don't expect a $60 gift--if your Santa gets you a $5 gift that's on your wishlist, that's all they're required to do. But if you're feeling ultra-rich or ultra-generous, we won't thumb our noses at higher priced presents. Multiple gifts are fine, but by no means required. Gifting period will officially commence alongside the Steam Winter Sale, which I believe is supposed to begin December 20 this year. You can gift earlier though if you find a killer deal (or just can't restrain your excitement ?). Gifting deadline will be on or around the end of the Steam sale, which should be January 3. If you don't get your gift by then, message me. No brand new members (signing up after this message) unless I or another mod approves you. Have fun! Ho ho ho!

Nice.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider i had seen reviews that said this is the best of the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy, and I don't think I agree with that, but it was good. The formula is just getting a little well-worn at this point, and I don't think the new developer executed on it quite as well as Crystal Dynamics. Little things, like checkpoints being too far apart during the scripted sequences, which had a few too many BS deaths. Like I said, it was still good, it just didn't seem quite as well put together as Rise. Now I have to decide if I'm going to play RDR2 next, or return that to wait for the PC version and play Nier Automata instead.

I'd say it'd get you to 4k on most games if you're willing to go to 30fps. My 1080 can get most games to 4k30.

What was your previous card?
