Day 198 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

A trip down memory lane! Forklift battles are fun

I was going to push for 120 but for some reason i guess my monitor can’t do that despite me being 100% sure it could. I even had it hooked up via DP.

DP 1.2, perhaps? Either on your GPU or your monitor. 1.2 only goes up to 75hz at 4k, while 1.4 can do 120hz.

Congrats on the new rig! What kind of hardware do you have?

200 is getting pretty close!

Oh, yeah. Reach is worth finishing.

There's some great stuff.

::: spoiler Spoilers for Reach

• I personally found it very satisfying that the mission leading up to a space battle actually then includes participating in the space battle, and it's fun. Most games would cutscene past what the game engine couldn't handle, or would include a barely playable space battle. The one in Reach was a nice surprise.
• The cutscene after taking down the space station is easily among the top 10 video game cutscenes, for me. It may be the most Spartan thing ever Spartan-ed.
• The end fight is pretty unique. I replayed it recently with my kid, and I was amused by the respect it earned with him. I can't even put it in a spoiler tag, though.

You need to download the rest of the games in the settings while it's open.

Did I hear that right? YOU DROVE FORKLIFTS WITHOUT BEING FORKLIFT CERTIFIED?

A legendary classic. Bungie's love letter to Halo.

[mynameisatticus@lemmy.world]

I had everything install while i was out today thankfully. I can safely say Halo 1-4 is all installed on my PC now

[mynameisatticus@lemmy.world]

AND I LOVED IT

[mynameisatticus@lemmy.world]

Nothing too fancy, but certainly enough to get me by until i upgrade the GPU. I have a Ryzen 3700x i bought used, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1 TB NVME SSD and a 250 GB HDD, and a Radeon RX 7600 XT 16 GB. I planned it around having a bit of wiggle room to upgrade. The CPU is probably fine, but the GPU i want to upgrade eventually. Maybe not now, but someday

[mynameisatticus@lemmy.world]

I'm thinking it's the monitor. I think i was just referring to the wrong manual for a newer version of mine when looking at it. I'm a bit disappointed, but I've lived this long without 120hz, i can live a while longer

[mynameisatticus@lemmy.world]

I was thinking it would carry my selections from Steam Deck over. I went ahead and started the downloads this morning and they're all done now thankfully

[mynameisatticus@lemmy.world]

i've heard good things about the ending fight. I'm really excited to get too it. I wish i hadn't spoiled it for myself years ago though

I wish i hadn't spoiled it for myself years ago though

For what it's worth, I read the book the game was based on, before playing the game, so I knew
::: spoiler (vague nature of a Reach spoiler)
how the ending would go
::: in advance, but it still works great, even when spoiled. The game really earns it, so it works even if it's not a surprise.

But that's why I still can't even include it inside a spoiler tag. Feels best to let folks find it themselves, who don't already know.
