I would check the compatibility list for Xbone Backward Compatibility. If some of the games you want to play are on that list, you might be better served to get an Xbone or an XboneX.

Xbones don’t give resolution upgrades to BC titles like the X does, but the framerates are usually improved. XboneX of course gives a resolution boost as well. In addition to forcing increased texture filtering and AA. I don’t think the Xbone does that, either.

Anecdotally we stopped seeing problems at GameStop once you get the revision with the HDMI port, pre-S. That’s the one I ended up keeping (I really like the original case design in white).

I’m in the business of buying a Honda Shadow and in regards to naming the thing I wanted to go with something owlish or owl-like. Perhaps this can all be condensed into a single question…and it is this:

What does the Cleric shout in Shadow over Mystara; is it OWL PECK SHADOW or do my ears need a good syringing?

Any and all other hot owl reccs are welcome here!

Not really a games thing but: Is there such a device as a transparent drawing tablet yet? I want to trace my cat while he’s powernapping

my first memories of being baffled by nerd outrage were all the mail in letters in inter-action magazine with drawings of cedric being murdered and whatnot.

and then later on the early internet, still whining about how “useless” he is.

he makes your quest to get your family back even feasible in the first place, do you need him to wipe your ass and kill the evil wizard himself too

Clean organizing a whole bunch of image folders and noticed Mojave’s quick preview (spacebar) is doing something to glitch frag images. As pictured along with uptime, I think a reset will solve it. Great to notice starting with nude skellman here.

But my question’s actually: know of a good plug in filter for PS, even a separate app, that would allow parameter controlled image corruption like so? I know the usual messy way but am looking more for something specific you can modify, like those phone app filters but ideally more varied, fine tunable.

what is the best program to record emulator gameplay with

If your recording software of choice can hook into the emulator game window, you should be able to use whichever one you want. MSI Afterburner, Nvidia Shadowplay, AMD ReLive, Bandicam, OBS, Fraps, etc.

Otherwise, you’ll probably have to use a program which allows you to “select” an area of the screen to record. I know Bandicam can do that. But its not free without a Bandicam logo over your video.(however, bandicam is very good).

OBS might be able to select an area of the screen, I’m not sure.

Also, the route through which you record, may also dictate your choice. AMD/Nvidia GPU based, CPU based, Intel Quicksync (based from Intel’s graphics).

Use OBS

A little while ago, someone posted a mockup of what a Final Fantasy 8 remake could look like, but now I’m looking for it and can’t find it. Was that in an axe thread that got axed?

This?
