I don't really know how to go about saying this, but I think the content, not quality, of videos have really degraded. For the first time in awhile I've thought about not resubscribing to the giantbomb premium in favor of ads. I used to come to this site to find new games to play and ways to spend my money to check out new games that may or not have gone unnoticed. I know this has been a critique over the past few years but it has finally caught up to me.

I, and everyone else paying attention to the site can see that the emphasis has been booming on the premium content side of the site. Many times I see UPF, east coast play dates, and maybe one quicklook during the week? There are things I see go on sale all the time that I check to see if a video is on site but it isn't. This is true for the eShop, I would say with 90% manufactured sales, but I'm still interested if it's shit or not. I've dismissed this kind of critique many times before but now it's to the point where I'm actually avoiding resubscribing (through sales because..) .. I have a sub until end of 2020.

I understand it's after e3, but there are plenty of things being showcased around the web that are deserving of a pass/fail, something I have grown to love about the real giantbomb review system. Forget the 5 stars, should I buy or care about this? That's the giantbomb review system to me. I understand the culture and possible revenue of the site has changed, but it has affected me to the point where I am more willing to skip through podcast ads than I am to search through UPFs for new unseen content.

I don’t know if this adds to the trouble shooting, but I’ve gotten this as well in the last few weeks and simply opening another site and then trying giantbomb again it works fine.

High Sierra, safari, adblocker off.

Adding to the zombie thread, drizzle some dark rum and brown sugar on thick pieces of bacon then bake.

Take a look at the top FPS streamers on twitch. Shroud, summit, etc, and see what they rock. It's a good launchpad for monitor research.

How about this one

MINIX NEO N42C-4, Intel Pentium Mini PC with Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) [4GB/32GB/Upgradeable/Dual-Band Wi-Fi/Gigabit Ethernet/4K @ 60Hz/Triple Display/USB-C]. Sold Directly by MINIX Technology Limited. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0788DJQR9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LzRIAbBPMR0S3

little warning, might not do native 4k decoding if you say download or rip 4k content (I have no idea, quick look shows the gpu is based on skylake gpu but no guarantee and a scan of the reviews don't show anything). It'll stream anything 4k just fine though.

Last edit: it has native 4K decoding just looked.

Honestly your gear changes so much when you get better decorations, assuming you continue to play that long. One good decoration drop could change your entire build including decorations that give you set bonuses.

@zeik: it's a loot game where you run the same thing over and over again with your friends but the game play is fun. You're getting hung up on the specifics, some people just need a reason to play like OP.
