#baldlunch Hey guys, long time listener seldom poster I just got done reading The First Law series, by Joe Abercrombie and it was incredible. It has the political intrigue, interesting smartly written characters, with plenty of sex and violence and epic moments of ASOIAF. It got me thinking, everyone brings up Brandon Sanderson finishing GRRM’s work, but I personally never believed his style of prose and dialogue writing would fit (it always came off much more YA to me). But I think Abercrombie would be a really good fit Have either of you ever had a chance to check out this series? If not I highly highly recommend it. It was so good I immediately picked up book 1 and read through the whole series again. I’ve only ever done that for one other series, The Expanse

@AintPayingThe5 I remember Stefon Urkel had that audience in a chokehold

Why the fuck did the audience “Woo!” over this 😭

@messedupfoods That’s just early 2000s vs mid 2010s

@LotusDollaSign It’s wild to me picturing Hov hearing that beat and picking that one. They made it work somehow tho

Swizz Beatz making Money, Cash, Hoes for Jay-Z.

@HazzadorGamin He’s telling his substantial PlayStation audience on his podcast to be a united front and hit them where it really hurts by cancelling PS subs and stop buying games and logging out of PSN to hurt their DAU numbers. What more do you want from him lol

Most Lukewarm criticism i have seen on this topic, i wonder why.

@IrfanShaik88840 @mcsquared34 I know for a fact this ain’t true

@mcsquared34 You can't get pregnant after 3/4 abortions anyway, so I don't know who them other kids are

@MightyKeef It took me a minute to realize you weren’t speaking in broken English and not wanting them to touch the Ezio trilogy

Big W. No remake the Ezio Trilogy 🫡

@FtMonkey But isn’t R2 bound to the ability wheel? What did you change that to? But yeah sprinting with l3 kinda sucks in this game for some reason, even though I don’t mind it in other games

Consejito para los que estéis con el Black Flag, cambiad el sprint en el menú al R2, no importa que os dé ese mensaje de conflicto, no hay ningún problema jugando Vaya maravilla, así es como el clásico y no quemais el joystick pulsando L3 #BlackFlagResynced

@HDRgameAnalysis Anyone know what max brightness for an LG C3 is?

Preliminary HDR analysis and setup guide for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag: Resynced on PS5 Pro (most likely the same on Xbox and PC). I only tested the first few hours of the game on PS5 Pro, including day and night scenes. I will update this analysis if relevant, as I get further into the game. I will look at PC later. Its not yet released. Let me start by saying; it’s a beautiful game on PS5 Pro. Looks more detailed in the 60 fps mode than Assassin’s Creed Shadows do. Maybe a higher internal resolution in combination with a good PSSR2 implementation ? HDR overall looks decent and much better than SDR. The issues I mention below are significant, but not enough to ruin the overall HDR presentation. The biggest issues are: - A constant black level raise of at least 0.05 nits. It’s a significant raise. Its not there in SDR, so it’s probably the gamma mismatch we also saw in Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Mirage. See picture 4. - No separate shadow slider - Detail gets clipped away at peak brightness on lower nits displays due to no or very aggressive roll off near peak. - The lower peak brightness is setup, the closer peak gets to the midtones and lightsources filling out more of the screen, and the more is getting clipped. So gamers with lower nits displays (below 1000 nits) are most affected. - The exposure slider effects the whole range between the black level floor and peak brightness. I don’t like that. It should mostly effect midtones. - lowering the exposure slider flattens shadows against the fixed black level floor (that is raised at 0.05 nits) and raising it clips highlights (it’s very visible when looking at the clouds). Picture 1 is 2000 nits max luminance and picture 2 is 800 nits max luminance. We see how detail in highlights is simply cut away. The clouds in front of the bright sun will look like a big white blob. Picture 3 shows the constant black level raise of 0.05 nits. It’s with the exposure slider all the way to the left (-2). The exposure slider lowers shadows, but can’t touch the raised black level raise. Shadow area is simply flattened against it. Setup recommendations: - HDR is setup using two in-game sliders for Max Luminance and Exposure. See picture 4. - Set the Maximum Luminance slider to your displays max brightness output. The game will output the value you set. - Most should leave the exposure at default exposure. Increasing it will increase upper shadows and crush even more highlight detail. - Gamers with 1000 nits capable displays or less can consider lowering exposure to -0.5. It will reduce highlight clipping a bit. It will also lower upper shadows, that is good, but it will also lower midtones. It’s a compromise. Chromatic aberration: Turn off especially chromatic aberration. It completely ruins detail. Motion blur and Camera effects too, if you want. See picture 4.

@MCFixer @Braves2008 @asha_shar Put urself in her shoes. You log on and see the same guy askin the same question day after day, knowin you can’t answer the question, cuz obviously they’re not gonna reveal that in a tweet She’s gonna say “omg this guy again” and roll her eyes, provided she hasn’t muted you yet

@Braves2008 @asha_shar I seriously don’t get what’s embarrassing by asking a question can you explain?

Day 8 of asking @asha_shar will the Xbox Helix have a disc drive? I almost gave up but the people have spoken I have to keep asking. (Respectfully)

@feministevee Maybe she doesn’t want to be internet famous for this horrifying experience?

Where is the picture of the brave woman who successfully survived an attempted murder?

@aliaoftheblade Our blades are sharp

oh my god?????

@XboxTimdog He constantly calls for Herman Hulst’s job. He constantly talks about Sony doesn’t release any games. He always says Sony completely fucked up their live service strategy and don’t know what they’re doing. He criticized the Bungie acquisition since day one.

I see Colin going crazy on Xbox layoffs and that’s fine. He does have a case because he was one of the one that stays on it wasn’t sustainable. I just hope that same energy applies to him with Sony. Something tells me no. Is he going on the physical situation?

@TABYTCHI He shaved his head for the role tho?

300 million dollar budget and you can see the bald cap 😭

@madcap412 Do you guys not want new things? Just want these companies to recycle the same popular thing over and over again until people get sick of them?

@Stallion83 So you want them to provide two copies of every game? What???

Xbox could grab an easy W today: Just commit to physical games. Put a disc in the box AND a digital code. Collectors win. Digital players win. Xbox wins.

@mrpyo1 @PlayerEssence Console exclusive means among the consoles, its exclusive the Xbox. Not that it’s only on the console period

@PlayerEssence Will they do console Only exclusives? Like just xbox?

Bloomberg is reporting Xbox is going to have more major titles console exclusive to Xbox.

@AndyGizzard Time and money, and not factory assembly line style of vfx work where they’re pumping out movie after movie.

What kind of crack did they give the VFX artists for this movie?

@NeoGameSpark The account manager immediately after every tweet

The comments on the recent PlayStation tweets are insane. Stay on their mf necks , guys 🤣

@Fat_Electrician “Zero is freezing. 40 is brutally hot. 22 is comfortable. 25 is warm. The numbers feel like what they are describing.” I mean this has got to be bait

0 cold as fuck 100 hot as fuck. Its doesn’t take 6 paragraphs to explain. Cope harder
