Well this looks awesome.

I have a sound joke but you can’t hear it

Well it’s a little complicated. Tolkien wrote it as one novel, which contained 6 books + appendices. But the publisher didn’t want to publish a 1200 page (iirc) book, so they made him divide it into 3 volumes, each containing 2 books, and then they titled them to be what we know them as.

Fun fact, the only title he wasn’t happy with was The Return of the King, because it gave away what happens in the book.

I’m partial to The Two Towers because Helms Deep is amazing and it blew my 9 year old mind when I saw it in theaters. But they’re all fantastic movies.

The LEGO games were better when they didn’t have any dialog. They had to be way more creative in their storytelling. I tried playing some of the newer ones and hearing actual dialog just seemed wrong.

Well now I need a 15 volume light novel series based on this. That was great.

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.

The PUBG strat

Well, I definitely agree with him. That may be the dumbest safe design I’ve ever seen.

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.

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.
