I haven't run into any matchmaking issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if the peer-to-peer netcode of the game is a bit fragile, hopefully it will improve.

I don't think I've ever had a gun fail to reload except based on in-game conditions such as being mid-dive, ragdolled, mid-weapon-swap etc. And plenty of times I've cancelled a reload by sprinting, swapping, diving or firing before it has finished without realizing.

I'm not sure how any part of the UI is controller specific. Kind of the opposite, I feel bad for console players having to deal with an inferior input device.

I don't know about windows, but on linux the game no longer crashes if you set it to run with dx11 instead of 12 using the --use-d3d11 launch option.

Obviously it shouldn't be crashing either way, but maybe a workaround on windows too?

Are you guys on windows?

On linux the game crashes a lot, too, but it stops happening completely if you use dx11 instead of 12.

I know. But the rose tint on a lot of Blizzard fans glasses is strong to the point of being so near black they are basically blind.

It's unfortunate, but blizz legit has oceans of goodwill with some people, still waiting to dry up.

Company determined to use up all goodwill continuing to burn it at both ends.

That post will only exist on your instance. Federation out to other instances would have to happen via the instance that community is on.

Same. I really enjoyed Intergrade, but I've yet to find a good reason to spend on a PS5 when I have a PC.

Ragnarok was playable on my PS4, Rift Apart and Forbidden West got PC versions that are in many ways superior to the console releases...

Why would I get into Rebirth now when I can play it at 1440p 120FPS 21:9 later?

I just tilt them up, wear them like normal headphones.

Bone conduction doesn't care what position or where exactly the transducer is. The sound won't be exactly as intended but it works.

Fair enough, dad uses a chromecast, mum has a miui android TV stick that started off ok but the new Android TV version is pretty ad-heavy. Siblings don't have big screens at all, and simply use laptops and phones for media consumption.

Dads savvy enough that he'll just use the HTPC he has if the chromecast gets obnoxious, but mom could use something more bespoke. Getting that for 10 bucks without having her trade in her digital soul so to speak isn't happening. "Cheapest" option I can think of is something like an RPI with OSMC/Kodi/JMP + a FLIRC receiver. For what that will cost, a Shield or OSMC Vero starts looking reasonable.

Why not? To get a picture on a big screen, I just use a really long cable from my desktop.

I control mouse/keyboard input via KDE connect, or grab the actual wireless mouse and keyboard from my desk.

Amazon/Audible walks in.

Wasn't it discontinued?

Edit: nope, just low supply for a while in 2022
