discovered a bug in black ops 7 where if you have a controller plugged in when you boot up the game, you won't see any nvidia-exclusive features like DLSS and frame gen

i reviewed the PC version of MGS Delta yaaaay. watching the Digital Foundry analysis of the PS5 versions… i thought the PC port was disappointing, but it’s looking peak for everyone

the new tony hawk game didn't need a photo mode. with that said, on behalf of all guides writers, we thank you for this wonderful gift

the resale value of 4090s is at an all time high right now, so when you really deep it, i actually didn’t have a choice

i kinda wish i waited for the HDMI version, but the fomo got to me. i would happily trade my Switch OLED for this bad boy, but i need that docked experience. with that said, i've used this switch lite like three times since i installed the panel, so maybe it wasn't the best use of my money...

my photos don't do this panel justice. the max brightness compared to the original is absurd, it makes the Switch OLED look like ancient junk. the install process isn't too difficult, i didn't really struggle with it (humble brag), but it was long, and i'd rather someone else do it for me

i absolutely hate dealing with ribbon cables after a nightmare experience i had with a DS Lite shell replacement that went wrong years ago. fortunately, this was significantly easier, and i didn't tear anything this time, so that's nice.

the install process wasn't as bad as it looks. i did have to break out @emmatthews.bsky.social's dyson airwrap thing to lift the old screen out of the housing, and yeah swapping out the analog sticks for hall effect ones was long, but it was cool to see how much shit nintendo crammed in here

i bought a Super5 OLED last year and forgot to post about it, because if you don't post about it, did it really even happen? anyway, it did happen, and now i have a super rare unobtainium Switch Lite OLED (albeit with a shifty power button because i messed up the install right at the end)

got a fun christmas tradition where @emmatthews.bsky.social and i play through the guitar hero 3 co-op campaign. she’s a 10 but refuses to drop the difficulty down to hard. these photos were taken one year apart hahaha

Genuinely so proud to have won this award at work for "excellent stewardship of the guides cell", according to the big boss. I am nothing without my incredible team who worked so hard during one of the busiest quarters I've ever seen. While the award goes to me, it really should be split six ways!

went to the next bunch as freelance writers. it was a great learning experience for previewing games and conducting interviews. talking to indie devs is like playing on easy mode... like, they're not going to hit you with a "we can't talk about that,"
RIP to Rezzed. gone but not forgotten

bit sad Rezzed/WASD is dead. our first Rezzed was in 2015, we took a break from dissertation writing to check out some indie games (shoutouts to The Swindle and, uhh, Bloodborne).
this was so long ago that we were still bringing around our 3DSes to stock up on streetpass hits

look at the speed of these menus in FC 25. EA leveraged the unstoppable might of the PS5 Pro to give us the first FIFA game with 60fps menus. the Pro upgrade is sick, making this the first FIFA locked at 60 even during set pieces and replays.
obvs PC been doin this for years. 120fps for FC 26 🙏🏽🙏🏽

i swapped out the keys on my GMMK Pro with the ones from the 8Bitdo NES keyboard (i bought a used one, of course). they don't make the good layout with a proper enter key, so i got a bit crafty with some old keycaps, but i think it looks pretty good tbh

imagine wasting your life savings on a shared ownership flat in london and your place doesn't even have access to high-speed internet. £500+ a month on service charge and i get to spend an evening downloading a 50gb call of duty update that shows me this screen before crashing to desktop 🙏🏾 bless up
