Lockdown 2020: Jeff is in Control of This, the Control DLC

It seems like the gameplay got pretty choppy in this, which wasn't how it was playing locally. Fantastic, we're all just thrilled about this.

It's a lockdown baby! We're under orders to work from home so here we go!

I was under the impression that the force of the CPU pressing down was enough to spread a dollop cleanly.

@the_nubster: Gamers Nexus has a few different videos about quantities and applications of thermal paste. Generally, the force of attaching the CPU cooler will just do the job. The only downside to putting blobs and letting the cooler spread it versus manually spreading an even coating is that you can get very small air bubbles trapped between the IHS and the cooler. That said, most people won't notice a difference in temps regardless of method used.

The real topic of conversation here is that Jeff's CPU has just casually been running at 100C under load and isn't dead yet.

@kgr20: It's fine, we all have different tastes. Maybe the Index will change his mind but it's cool if it doesn't.

Game looked good, seemed like there was a mild strobe on Jeff when he was full-screen(Would that be lighting from the game reflecting off Jeff or does the new panel light have a weird refresh?(Teething troubles I guess). tyty

I love watching this game and I'm genuinely not trying to be overly negative here on a minute detail, but am I the only one who thinks the animation on the lip/mouth syncing during cutscenes looks a little off? All of the right movements seem like they're there but it's like they're always hanging a bit too far open when they speak and their lips don't fully purse together like one would for a "b" or "m" sound.

@xenosoul: I just noticed that too and I feel like that wasn't a in the base game. I went back and watched the playdate and it looks normal there.... wonder if it's just an issue with the DLC?

oh it is very off, if you watch ...whats her name...in the cutscenes, she literally never closes her mouth, ever. It's something that once I noticed, I couldn't unsee, haha. It bothers me so little but yeah, you're not crazy, glad it doesn't really diminish the fun of the game.

Man, also, jeff you should cheat engine the hell out of this and map slow-mo to any of the extra buttons using steam or xpadder. Or anyone, try it, trust me, these trippy effects in slow motion with the particles flying around with all the rays looks insane, and bobbing and weaving and throwing stuff is fun as hell. It does break the game difficulty, but whatever, you know what Cheat Engine usually does.

I thought that was on purpose. like the way people in the game look..."oFf" they all look like something from an episode of twilight zone or ito Junji collection, or even what its based on...scp containment and twin peaks.

I got overhyped for this game like most Giantbomb GOTY winners lately. Could never get quite into PUBG as the crew, and think current Fortnite or apex is what pubg's praise would equate properly toward at the time. Basically PUBG rested on its laurels and games like Fortnite or apex constantly ran free content and updates along with storylines and out of game stuff. (Obviously the actual act of playing the game and is to each their own. Less buggy too. Doom im still trying to get into but thought i would be going crazy about it like crew and im more like the crew is now with eternal and the nostalgia glasses removed. Control just felt half baked with a story that was abrupt and notes i could read from scp for free. The powers needed more in end game and the action was same 4 or so enemies with unfair deaths. The setting was cool thou and the graphics and atmosphere were great, but i noticed those two things i did like are what giantbomb falls heavy for usually so i get their interest, hell they have a styyylee category for a reason. Wasnt into tetris. Anyway ive been into other GOTYs they picked in the past, like Shadows of Mordor, Saints row 4, etc. guess its just changing times.
