  1. Our little guy could not wait to get out, Tam's leave was about to start when her water broke. He was born 3 days later, almost 5 weeks early. They spent 2 weeks in the hospital, there was some medical stuff after, but all well and good now. Just getting used to a constant lack of time and sleep I prefer not to throw pics of the kiddo online hope you don't mind it's his choice in my opinion, not mine. And since he can't choose yet, I prefer to keep him offline. @Delta! Your place looks amazing you should be proud! The painters are here to do our window sills and stuff, some much needed maintenance!
  2. Currently I'm not really playing D4 anymore. I did however install Diablo Immortal on my phone, played through it. Meh game at best. I think I'm headed back into SP games for a bit, enjoying Project Zomboid again. I do think I'll get back to D4 just not sure when. Or on what system, I picked up D4 on XBOX since it's crossplay, so I can play with my PC character there as well. My PC is showing it's age and I'm on the verge of retiring it. Might continue playing on my Lenovo gaming laptop, might switch to console all together. All in all, with our little guy my gaming time got sparse
  3. Hi @Rotluchs I think this time I succeeded (I tried Rotluchs a bit ago but I never got confirmation it worked) because I got a system message saying Bobcat has been added to my friends list.
  4. Probably not powered @gogoblender because I don't think it will be beefy enough to run an external monitor like that. But yeah, it will connect to a regular monitor via HDMI and apparently they are working on Freesync support. Although the deck is too underpowered for that to really matter, I think.
  5. There's an official dock but plenty of people buy one off amazon and then have the ability to use it as a pc: charging, wired networking, keyboard and mouse, and an external display. I would not game on a high resolution though!
  6. Well, I'm pretty sure you could use a dock for the steam deck and hook a controller up to it. That way you get the best of both worlds, similar to how the Nintendo Switch can be used. I really like concept of these devices. More than one reviewer tells me that in the end, the Steam Deck is the most polished gaming experience. Even though the Legion Go and the Ally are more powerful and offer more versatility, with these being full-fledged W11 devices. The appeal of a Steam Deck is so clear to me. But I wonder whether I would prefer a laptop. Also, I am so jealous of everyone in the US and Canada. I hate the fact that we don't get the transparent/orange accented limited edition here.
  7. @gogoblender There is a cpu upgrade though, however it is not necessarily what you might expect. The new chip in the OLED version is a die-shrink from 7 to 6 nanometer. This does not increase performance, but it ensures the Steam Deck can be cooled easier because smaller chips use less power, which in turn means (according to Valve) that it is able to run at the maximum speed all the time. So there's not necessarily a performance uptick when you look at max FPS, but the minimum and averages could be better. Plus, battery life is better! I watched the Linus Tech Tips review and oh boy, I am seriously considering this thing...
  8. Well, you pretty much always have to buy games on console and PC right, so it's not that strange to me that I would have to buy the game again. What I find weird however is that (I assume) I would need to log in with my Battle.net account anyway. The Steam deck is a handheld PC, think of it like a Nintendo Switch on steroids. It runs SteamOS, an operating system based on Linux. Valve is investing quite a bit of effort in the experience, meaning you can play a lot of games in your Steam library on it. Also, you're able to hook it up to a dock and use it as a little gaming pc with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. So from couch gaming to desktop mode and vice versa in seconds. Some other major companies are working on devices like these. ASUS came up with the ROG Ally which is more powerful than the Steam Deck, has a better screen, and runs Windows, so pretty much all game launchers work. However it suffers from these capabilities when you look at battery life, and there are quite a few mentions of it killing microSD cards because of a hardware fault: And Lenovo has the recently launched Legion Go, which is very similar to the Ally but it has detachable controllers like the Nintendo Switch: My personal ranking from worst to best would be Lenovo Legion Go < ASUS ROG Ally < Valve Steam Deck. Just because it seems like Valve is really serious about this. If ASUS actually would release a second generation of their Ally, or I could pick up an interesting deal (second hand maybe?) that would be my pick. But I am unsure how far ASUS will take this new hybrid form between console and PC. (Note: you can buy refurbished Steam Decks in the Steam Store for a pretty discount. And keep an eye out for further discounts during Steam sales and the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend!) I am very curious how D3/D4 would run on these systems. It's a very interesting concept to me.
  9. I have to kite him most of the times, haven't run into him too much on my latest plays. Granted, it's been a bit. By the way, D4 is available on Steam now. I'm a little annoyed I cannot carry over my purchase from Battle.net though. It's understandable but I do not like it. I am very interested in the Steam Deck, but a few off-Steam game purchases are keeping me from making the decision to completely ditch my gaming PC. And I do not like purchasing games twice that early on.
  10. Where do you get the 500 damage points difference from? The base DPS differs only 139? Or is the difference 500 when equipped? 2 min later: Nevermind, you mean the attack power difference. I have no idea how that works... 5 min later: Did some digging, still don't get it. From what I'm reading here and there it looks like attack power is only useful for melee characters? And it does not seem to take into account any modifiers like Crit, +dmg, etc.
  11. Ice Shards is a core skill, and I'm fairly certain it chills enemies. Simply put, the modifiers on your legendary wand give you a 28% damage boost on the first hit of Ice Shards, and even more with successive hits (I have no idea how the multipliers are implemented - it could be 28.5+17.2% increase or they could be applied as separate factors). That probably outweighs the base damage boost from your unique wand. Also, none of the modifiers on your unique wand increase damage dealt, whereas literally all of the modifiers on your legendary wand do.
  12. Those modifiers rolled pretty low though. I guess it's good to keep if you don't have anything else but in general the rolls are below average.
  13. Going online for an hour or 2, maybe less, up early in the morning sooo...
  14. In the game time I've had lately I have only been playing some CS2 bot matches (just to get a feel for the new visuals and setup - CS is for when I only have an hour or so to kill so I play bot matches to chill) and I have really enjoyed picking up Project Zomboid again. I have given up playing seasonal content, will just be playing Eternal Realm. I do not have the time to invest and so far the content seems really mid-tier. Will give a shout when I'm back in D4!
  15. I can understand that, but still. They are worse in daily driving AFAIK? Did they come stock? I know TÜV is a thing there but I assume upgrading to a big brake kit (ie 4-6piston, slotted or drilled rotors) would be less expensive. Edit: looking at some Brembo pricing right now, okay maybe not: 7k-20k. Nevermind
