Well this looks awesome.

Spectrum? I’ve got the same plan. Sucks because I have trouble streaming my Plex server outside of my apartment. And when I work from home uploads take forever.

Right, but that’s top of the line stuff. You can easily build a PC with a 70 tier GPU for less than $1500 and you’ll still have a kickass gaming PC.

The XX70 tier equivalent mountain bikes cost like $3000-$3500. I’m thinking along the lines of a Trek Remedy 7 (which is what I have), a base Santa Cruz Bronson, or a base Specialized Stumpjumper. There are plenty more but those are just 3 from some big brands.

The GPD Win isn’t really the same as these though. It’s trying to provide the most gaming performance possible in a tiny package. It’s a premium device, rather than a tiny, budget oriented laptop.

$1500 gets you a pretty kickass gaming PC, even if it’s not absolute top of the line.

In mountain biking, $1500 gets you a solid hard tail or an entry-level full suspension from a direct-to-consumer brand like Polygon if you’re buying new.

Very fun write-up! I love seeing comparisons between ports of older games. There was so much variation back then.

Got mine right after it released and I get the notification. As far as I remember I’ve always gotten it. But it doesn’t appear on your phone, just on the watch.

I agree that the battery life isn’t great, but that’s the only issue I have with it.

It won’t notify you when it’s getting close to dying (Why would you need that on a watch last lasts a day and a half?)

Mine vibrates and gives a notification when the battery hits 15% or something. Might be 10%. I largely get by with just charging it when I get ready in the morning. And the battery life has also gotten way better since release, some of the updates made a big difference. It’s gone from maybe getting a full workday to easily getting a day and a half now if I put it in night mode overnight.

Wear OS 4 also introduces the ability to transfer your Pixel Watch data to a new phone without a factory reset as well as a way to back up your data and settings from your Pixel Watch when you’re ready to upgrade to a new one.

Well that would have been really nice to have when I got a new phone last month. It was a huge pain to factory reset it and then set it all up again.

I for one am shocked that this game was a disaster of a production. I don't think anyone could have seen this coming to light.

Yeah that’s a pretty huge statement. I can’t wait to see if it holds true for me and other FromSoft fans.

I feel that. I had 1Mb/s DSL internet until I left for college in 2011. My download speeds were usually around 100KB/s, it was torture.

Yep! I believe console preload started yesterday or the day before. Steam just went live. So stoked we can all have it ready to go right at the release time.

Didn’t the Wii-U mostly fail because most people didn’t know what it was? The marketing and name were terrible and plenty of people thought it was just a Wii add-on or something.

The console itself was actually pretty cool, playing Wind Waker on it was great.

Alright hold up. So the guy we thought is a bad guy isn’t actually a real bad guy? Was the bad guy stuff just a red herring and he is truly trying to protect Miyo while she goes through her awakening? Or is he trying to steal her from Kudo to take her latent abilities? Is he maybe a part of Miyo’s mother’s family? I was fully onboard for hating this guy until the bit with the tree, but now I’m not sure of his intentions.

Also I loved the whole sequence with the older Tatsuishi brother trying to heal the guy, Kudo fighting, and Miyo having her nightmare. The way they linked all 3 was really well done. I can’t wait to find out more about what’s going on.

Well I expected something to get in the way of Anne getting the note and tool, but I certainly didn’t expect them to just get used as kindling lmao.

Hopefully we get more of Helck and Anne next episode.

Early word from reviewers and people that participated in some of the early access events is that the game is crazy well optimized. I think it was Fighting Cowboy who said all of his gameplay on PC was at 4k 120fps. He also said it runs at around 50fps with high settings on the Steamdeck.

Looks kind of like a mix of Dead Space and Death Stranding. I’m interested.

Nice, it’s got a PC release. I enjoyed the anime but couldn’t get into the mobile game so I’m looking forward to this.
