Probably part of the run up to the announcement and release of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. In any case, I’m happy to spread the word because a free version of Dragon Age: Origins in the same year DAI was released is how I found the franchise.
Should have called it Neuroshock as it would have been a great tie with the other “shock” immersive sims
We were still reeling the loss of Prey 2 and the political duplicity that may or may not have happened with Bethesda and Human Head which resulted in the cancellation.
I used to like Fan the Deck before he got super popular. In the past…like 6 or 7 months he’s turned into a clickbait whore and became like Deck Ready (the OG clickbait whore Steam Deck channel)
I did not watch deck ready because they are clickbait whores from just a glance… But I wanted a SD focused news alternative and found fan the deck from searching around for a similar steam deck focused channel and it was a breath of fresh air. Now he posts shit titles like “Steam Deck Problem” with BEWARE big letters on the thumbnail. get. the fuck. out. I unsubscribed after that video. If I have to use DE-ARROW to see what your video is about (and his videos have started to been “de-arrowed” as viewers are probably sick of it too) you’re gone.
The GOAT though IMO is Dragonware Decaf. Lisa knows her shit. She doesn’t do news but she does SD tutorials
In the “Diablo 4 Season 4 Campfire Chat Summary” video, Rax discusses the upcoming Public Test Realm (PTR) opening in early April for one week, where testers can generate level 100 characters with item level 860 gear to test new mechanics. Diablo 4’s Season 4 is being delayed to implement these changes, which include significant item reworks, such as legendaries having three affixes and rares having two. Legendary items will now drop from monsters level 95 and above, and forgotten souls can be obtained from various sources. The developers also plan to reduce the amount of loot dropped significantly, requiring better salvaging rewards and lower crafting costs. New crafting systems, including tempering and masterworking, will allow players to add affixes to their items and upgrade them. The Codex of Power, a long-awaited feature, will store the highest stat rolls for each legendary item, saving inventory space. The game’s crafting system and Hell Tide game mode are also receiving improvements, and the developers plan to address the issue of solo versus group play. A Diablo 4 player expresses their satisfaction with the game’s progress and the upcoming updates, acknowledging that some players have already written off the game but remaining optimistic about the changes and planning to participate in the PTR.
Fuck NVIDIA for shutting down GameStream. Killing it had no impact on their servers and this was a tactic to coerce customers to subscribe to their streaming service
