Has Witcher Remaster improved since the most recent update?

Just curious if anyone had a chance to revisit it yet. The initial state of the game didn’t run well on my OLED deck. It had weird stutters when I moved the camera around.

Arkham City: Textures take a moment to load in. How can I fix this?

Hi everyone! I started playing Arkham City, but large textures take a moment to load which causes everything to look blurry and lumpy before it loads in. Is there a way I can fix this? I’m using Experimental Proton and am playing on my OLED.

I was able to play Asylum and Knight without issue so I’m hoping there’s a fix to this problem! Thanks!

Does anyone own this one? How well does the black stainless steel finish last?

I love the black and gold but worry that the black coating will come off too easily.

Is this compass bezel movement normal? It slightly shifts when switching directions of rotation

Just got it today! After adjusting the bezel, I move it slightly counter clockwise because I notice the compass shifts a little unevenly when switching directions. Is this normal?

Ochette is 20 years old??

I looked up the official ages for characters and all of them made sense to me except for Ochette. I really thought she was the youngest, like 14 or 15. I imagined her as a sort of little sister to Agnea who is canonically 18. I’m guessing that means that Ochette’s animal companion has a longer life span than their real-life animal counterparts too.

The only other one that somewhat surprised me was Castti being 29. She seems more like a 32-36 year old to me.

Is it worth the extra expense to add the anti-reflective coating on the basic pilot watch?

Just curious how much of a difference it makes, especially since I kind of want to get the upgraded movement as well. Thanks for your help!

I DIDN’T KNOW WE COULD GET A (spoiler)!

I’m almost 40 hours into the game and only just unlocked the Grand Terry. Being able to customize it, then unlock a whole new portion of the map was amazing. And the first battle with the new music hyped me up so much. It’s a great surprise for me and I look forward to exploring some of those little islands once I’m at a higher overall level. How big is the ocean map, I wonder?

Does this mean people have only lived on the eastern continent for 100 years? Or that people between continents hadn’t met until 100 years ago?

The eastern continent seems much older since it has the larger cities whereas the western continent feels more like the Wild West, but at the same time it doesn’t completely make sense that people have had no contact with the other continent before 100 years ago

If you were to assign secondary jobs to OT2 characters based purely on roleplay/personality, what would they be?

I’m not too worried about stats and have been largely ignoring the jobs for most of my playthrough. But these are what I’m thinking personally based off of characteristics and traits

Ochette: thief - it seems to fit her skill set well considering how fast she is and the potential for stealing food here and there…

Casti : conjurer - it fits in with her supportive and pragmatic personality traits to use some of her magic and apothecary skills for helping others in battle rather than becoming stronger herself

Temenos: scholar - Temenos is a detective and has already studied religion quite a bit. His curiosity and skill with magic probably help him fit in with scholars pretty well.

Osvald: Arcanist - I feel like Osvald would go to great depths to increase his magic power, especially given his revenge quest. This one thematically feels right to me.

Partitio: inventor - being a merchant and helping others profit off of new inventions and technology, this one makes sense to me in a way that doesn’t with the other characters.

Agnea: apothecary - this one was a toss up between apothecary and merchant for me. But for whatever reason I can see Agnea patching people up more than I can see her selling things. After all, she cooked for her family back home, maybe she also helped bandage her sister after playing too rough when they were kids.

Throné: dancer - I love the idea of Agnea teaching Throné how to dance. Similar to her fighting skills but without the blood which feels right for her considering everything she’s been through.

Hikari: armsmaster- this one is also straight forward. Hikari is such a skilled warrior and learns from everyone he meets so I can see him doing this

What do you all think?

I read the KotOR omnibus and then jumped into Legacy. This panel got me a bit emotional!

I bought the big Marvel omnibuses of The Old Republic and Legacy. This panel made me miss Zane a lot, especially given how kind hearted he is compared to Cade. Legacy does a great job of incorporating aspects of every part of the Star Wars timeline, and it really does feel like thousands of years have passed since Zayne lived and died. I hope Zane and Celeste can be reacquainted now that they’re both one with the Force

A quick side note, these marvel omnibuses are great! After Legacy I’ll be reading Tales of the Jedi. I haven’t gotten into the rebellion or empire or new republic ones since all three feel pretty much covered by movies or books I’ve already enjoyed. (Sort of my personal Star Wars timeline). But KotOR, Legacy, and hopefully the tales of the Jedi all have room to be their own stories without being crammed in to tight timelines. I highly recommend both Legacy and KotoR!

First timer here, which should I start with out of these options?

And which ones are connected to one another if any? I recently played Octopath Traveler II and absolutely loved it so I want more JRPGs and these ones appeal to me. Thanks for your help!

Reading the Legacy Omnibus for the first time and I’m loving how it blends three distinct eras into one aesthetic

In Legacy, we get quite a bit of elements from the Old Republic, Prequels, Original Trilogy, and New Jedi Order all blended together to make a perfect cocktail of a new era while still keeping the Star Wars feel. I especially like how Darth Krayt communicates with ancient Sith, lived during the prequel era, and had an appearance in the Fate of the Jedi series. Star Wars Legacy really showcases how fun it is when the EU comes together in a meaningful way. It’s also cool to see visual representations of the Vong and the way they really impacted the galaxy.

I hope the second omnibus is announced soon!

Is this normal? Waterbury Flyback movement

When I push the crown in, the second hand won’t start until I rotate the crown. I don’t see this in any manual or product description. I’m wondering if the watch I got has a weak connection that might make it more susceptible to damage in the future or something

New Fly Back! I love it but…

I love this watch but have noticed two potential drawbacks. First, when I set the time and push the crown back in, it takes half a second or so before it starts ticking. If you push and twist the crown a bit it’ll start straight away. Is that normal for a quartz watch?

Second potential drawback is that the second hand doesn’t tick exactly on the second marks. I’m not sure if that’s considered normal on a quartz.

Apart from that, it has a great feel and weight, the movement is super fun, and the style is amazing!

Life Can Be Hard reminds me of the La La Land soundtrack

Life Can Be Hard is probably my favorite song after my initial listen! It really gives me La La Land vibes, particularly City of Stars. Is it just me?

How did a descendant of Jaina Solo (Roan Fel) end up being allies with the Sith and declaring war on Galactic Alliance?

I’m having trouble bridging the fate of the Jedi series with Legacy. It feels strange to me that Roan Fel would 1. Team up with Sith, 2. Declare war on galactic alliance, and 3. Not be killed by his imperial knights who were supposed to ensure he didn’t go against the light side. Would teaming with Sith not count as straying from the light?

I know Roan Fel didn’t want any Jedi to directly die as a result of his actions, but how could he really think that would be the case when he’s working with Sith? Is he stupid?

Haha thanks!

Got my first scratch on my Pan Am automatic :( Is there anything I can do?

Not super noticeable unless light hits it just right. Still, I get a bit OCD about this… Is it worth it to buff it out or will that just cause further damage?

Thinking about Revan’s fall to the dark side and how much room there is for interpretation in current canon

I’m a little rusty but am reading all the KotoR and Old Republic comics right now and am trying to remember. I thought Revan and Malik turned to the dark side over time during the Mandalorian Wars, then it was retconned that they had met Vitiate and that their realization of a greater threat ended up being another factor in their eventual fall rather than a complete retcon

I also like that Vitiate/Valkorian and Revan are both very similar since both went beyond the traditional Sith vs Jedi dogma and found something new.

But a lot of interpretations online seem to suggest that Vitiate snapped his fingers and turned Revan and Malik evil. This feels much less interesting to me.

I know the SWTOR mmo and book portrayed Revan as a prisoner for 300 years, but he was also ironically imprisoning Vitiate by sapping some of his power. So again, there’s that mirror between them.

In terms of strict current canon (which is ironically not canon anyway) what actually happened? Does the canon leave room for interpretation or is my view of the thing basically fan fiction at this point?

Thanks!

How often do you set your affordable automatics?

I have two automatics, an Orient and a Timex. Both will gain about 15 seconds a day, more or less. It kind of annoys me, so I usually correct the time every morning. Is this typical for automatic watches in this price range? And if so, do you all set every day? Or how often?

Thanks!

I want to get this pan am automatic and on Amazon it’s much cheaper than the Timex website. But it doesn’t have a lot of reviews. What do you all think? And sorry if this post breaks the rules!
