Marketing says 8,000Hz is a straight upgrade. The math says it’s an efficiency trap. 🖱️📉

If your FPS drop is higher than your input gain, you're net-negative on latency. I built a calculator to help you find your PC's 'Goldilocks Zone.'

Video and Tool dropping soon. Stay skeptical.

Saber dropping Space Marine 2 Patch 12.0 right as Bungie opens the Marathon Server Slam?

Is this Omnissian confidence, or are they hoping day-one bugs get drowned out by the neon hype? The Emperor protects, but he doesn't fix server issues or code.

This is right up there with the feeling immediately after stubbing your toe first thing in the morning. #aimtraining #fps #kovaaks

Yeah, likely a healthier option than my approach of giving star pupils the pinned comment thread of shame 😆

Portions of the Youtube comment section should be all the evidence needed to fund early childhood educational intervention programs forever.

Aim and gamesense support each other.

Saying one is enough to overcome neglecting the other is like saying “Yeah I can read, I just ignore the punctuation.”

Is Aim Washed at 25? I Proved that Wrong at 40 in 4 Months. YouTube video by BaldSquid

The FPS community has a planned obsolescence problem.

I just turned 40 and audited the "washed at 25" myth with 4 months of work in the Viscose Benchmarks.

Stop blaming your age. Your hardware is fine, your firmware just needs a patch.

I think I've been more frustrated with a few scenarios in Kovaak's than I ever was with League.

Weird realization.

Chaos, Physics, and a Lot of Missiles - Cleared Hot Review (Early Access) YouTube video by BaldSquid

Cleared Hot just hit Steam Early Access with a lower “get in early” price.

I went through how it actually plays, what’s in the current build, and who should grab it now vs wait for 1.0. Spoiler: I'm STOKED

Extraction shooters are what would happen if the negative feedback loop with healing items from DS2 and Bloodborne was a genre.

The Roguelite FPS That’s Better Than You Think – Deadzone Rogue Review YouTube video by BaldSquid

Just uploaded a review of Deadzone Rogue — a surprisingly polished roguelite FPS that respects your time, your money, and your aim.

Tight gunplay, fair progression, good vibes.
Worth $20.

The Huge Hotfix Is Here – Starting Fresh in No Rest for the Wicked After about a year, I'm headed back into No Rest for the Wicked with a brand-new character following the game’s biggest patch in over a year—and yes, the emergency hotfix is already in. Moon Studios j...

Moon Studios dropped a hotfix to fix the patch that broke the update that was supposed to fix the game.

Naturally, as a fan since early access release last year, I'm starting a fresh run.

Making the holiday movie rounds and I noticed a thing: Buzz gets a bad rap. Sure, he’s a bit of an Older Brother, but out of everyone in the house, he actually spends time with Kevin, has hobbies he cares about, appropriately tends an exotic pet…

Path of Exile 2: Better Than You Might Think YouTube video by BaldSquid Gaming

PoE2 surprised me after my experience with the first one. For all the crankiness I’ve been seeing online, it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted in an ARPG.

Corgis roll a Distraction Check every time they act as a Free Action.

As great as games are, remember to take breaks to interact with real humans and touch grass. Or snow in this case. Woooo opening day 😎

Lovely surprise on stream today. WarhammerWorkshop, author of Astartes Overhaul (now 2.0) came by to talk with us about the mod, how they approach making changes, the olive branches from Saber, and some sneak peeks at what’s to come. Timestamp in the pinned comment.

One of the most prominent mods has been made functional only in private sessions by the dev for several weeks now. Nice to see Saber giving proper support for things while protecting the experience of public lobbies 😊

Just in case: Grabbing the stalker optimizer mod off nexus has kept the crashes away on my end, and seems to improve how the game tends assetload/caching if you get stutters. Just be sure to set line 63 in the file back to 0 so you can still see gravity anomalies. Cause uh…that is mandatory.

That Stalker Optimizer mod is 🔥 with a small tweak in the file to make the distortion on gravity anomalies and bloodsucker shimmer come back. Lookin’ like mods and stalker will continue their epic relationship.

Mod Support - A Message from the Game Director - Space Marine 2 ​

This is huge. Love to see AAA devs remembering that mods extend a game’s lifespan, broaden audience, and increase options for accessibility. Plus, grips of new genres start out as mods (looking at you, CS and MOBAs).

So last time I checked, games didn’t suddenly change their content or fun coefficient retroactively based on if they won awards.

Sekiro. Wasn’t owl (either version). Wasn’t the sword saint. That ape remains the only SoulsBorneRing boss to result in my taking a multi-day break from the game on release week.

Always going to pounce on any chance to spread the gospel of OnePageRules. Rules are mini-agnostic but also have their own line of physical and STL files. Covers all of 40k/sigmar/killteam/warcry/necromunda without the bloat or getting tabled round 1.

Well this place seems much more sane. Evidently this list thing seems proper? #promosky
