Clear to see the difference between the AI and the human when they’re side by side split screen but the overall result is still completely ridiculous. Just a few years ago this is the type of stuff you’d put in a movie to show they were far in the future.

The Next Inhalation
The fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery has reached the halfway point. Who’s watching? Who’s waiting? Who’s not caring? I'm watching and it's certainly not the worst Star Trek I've ever seen.

This is pretty wild news. Won’t change much for next year, but come 2026 and the new regs would should see a big shift. Rumors are he’ll land at Ferrari. Might be cool to see Hamilton get a couple more championships there in ‘26 and ‘27.
This may also lead to more implosion at Redbull if Horner is forced out. Bummer that the drama off the track is more exciting than on.

Are there any things or utilities people use to keep their mouse speed/acceleration feel the same? I don't change mice often and the new ones always takes some getting used to.
Fwiw going from the eol steel series sensei 10 to try a Logitech GoPro wireless cause I like right shoulder buttons. Thanks.

My genre of choice is real time (pauseable) or turn based tactics, here are the contenders I found in my backlog:
Desperados 3
Marvel's Midnight Suns
Jagged Alliance 3
I looked at Close Combat: The Bloody First which seems interesting but larger scale than I want right now. I also considered Pathfinder: Kingmaker but I'm not in the mood for reading a ton of dialogue trees (this is also why I haven't played BG3). I've also got Wasteland 3 on the backlog.
Anyway, I played an hour of each of the 3 listed above and I think I'm going to stick with JA3 for now. Desperados' interface felt a bit janky and the deckbuilding mechanics in Midnight Suns just seem weird to me, I rarely seem to gel with card games.
Did I make the right choice, shack? Anyone here playing JA3, or Rimworld Anomaly?

Mostly disappointed, hope I can return it.
It is more silent, but it has so many downsides vs a vitamix.
Plus it overheated for inexplicable reasons. Then wants some time out

Metacritic Score: 68 (SO CLOSE)
https://www.metacritic.com/game/phantom-fury/critic-reviews/?platform=pc
Finally finished the game at 19.2 hours and, man, it's so frustrating how close it is to being great. The weapon and level variety is terrific, but the levels themselves often lack focus and result in aimless wandering as you try to find where you should go next. There's a few visual cues (like colored smoke) at points, but it's inconsistent and there's multiple extremely large levels where it's easy to fall off of the critical path and wind up walking around lost.
The game is also buggy. At some point my saves got corrupted and I lost all of my cybernetic upgrades, so I wound up playing through the last quarter of the game almost entirely depowered. Thankfully I was able to get enough points by the end to unlock the lightweight perk again, but God damn, that was stressful. The bile launcher (this game's take on the alien hivehand from Half Life) just stopped working on my saves for no reason and I didn't feel like rolling back an hour or so to get it working. The game has a shit ton of weapons, so it just forced me to not be quite so cheesy with the auto ammo regen, auto aim alien weapon.
When the game is firing on all cylinders, it's fucking amazing. It's a shame the bugs are so prominent, so many levels are poorly focused, and the checkpoint system is absolutely sadistic. There's fun to be had for sure and I enjoyed most of my time with it, but it badly needs a major patch or two.
Oh, and Blade's magnum from SiN? So. Fucking. Good.
