  3. Put plenty of hours into Darksiders 3 recently (after Free install XBox Games With Gold), & it's been good. I find the cartoonish graphics a little annoying, as with all the Darksiders titles, but it's a part of how it is. Still, I'd like to see it done in crisper, more detailed graphics. Coming up to the end of the 3rd playthrough – Armageddon 2, & that'll be enough. Mostly on Challenging difficulty setting, sometimes on Apocalyptic. During this Armageddon 2 playthrough, most of the standard mobs seem doable fine on Apocalyptic, for mine, but the bosses/tougher mobs and Crucible all become a lot more difficult. Apocalyptic mode seemed to give most mobs a significantly higher damage output, but not necessarily much/any HP increase – dunno, some mobs on Challenging mode as well could've used a few more HPs I reckon'. Overall it seems pretty well-balanced – I've put in a fair effort to strengthen my char & core eq, & in Havoc form can pretty much tear through anything fairly well (on Challenging mode). Havoc form being completely invulnerable -and- regenerating full HP is a little over-powered, I honestly would've liked to see a few of the other bosses/chosen ones/sins unleash a rare/occasional special attack that knocks you over & with some damage in Havoc form, or something, like Urul in Crucible wave 100. The Crucible is, as I found in DS2?, strangely addictive – I have yet to complete 100/101 waves in 1 sitting, but will soon do so. Now have last Void boss Final Encounter (tough mofo, will take 2-3 Havoc forms & a few consumables etc) to go, as well as Crucible full completion, before final Pride boss main game fight to finish it up. On Challenging mode, Armageddon 2 (3rd playthrough), XBox1S console. Stats & stuff: - Char Lvl 120 - Health 1020 lvl 40 - Strength +147% lvl 41 - Arcane +255% lvl 41 (Will soon level once more, likely last time) - Barbs Whip +13 - Chains (flame) flail +11 - Polearm (storm) +12 (rarely used anything else, the polearm in Storm Hallow form was fun occasionally, but mostly played in Flame Hollow form) Enhancements, have 15 (all maxxed/balanced): - Fortune: used most on Whip for extra soul lurchers, it's passive consumables effect incr. seemed significant - Marauder: used a bit on Whip to spawn health lurchers, or often slotted on an unused weapon for passive incr. item drop % - Enoch: only slotted for short periods on unused weapon for passive incr. Havoc regen % - Leviathan: always slotted; often on Chains & used to break objects for incr. soul lurchers, passive HP regen essential - Fortifier: always slotted on an unused weapon for it's passive incr. health - Flame: often slotted on unused Talons for passive incr. flame wrath enkindle range effect - Fafnir: always slotted; often on an unused weapon for it's passive reflected damage (essential), sometimes on whip for extra main damage (& carrying 120,000+ souls for max. effect) - Obscurus: often slotted on unused weapon for passive incr. evasion invincibility - Juggernaut: always slotted on unused weapon for passive damage received reduction - Perdition: (Salvation weapon only) always slotted for incr. weapon flight speed & passive damage incr. (carrying 20 Visages for good effect) - Storm: occasionally slotted into a storm Hollow weapon for fun - Shade: often slotted on unused weapon for arcane damage received reduction - Chaos: often used during certain gameplay on secondary (Chains) weapon; for damage returned as health, & passive incr. Havoc form duration is great - Azazel: can barely recall using it at all - Veneration: (Whip only) only used in certain gameplay – it's incr. crit effects are awesome Didn't attain/buy any others. Armour: - Base: replaced ASAP - Flame Hollow +3: used for a while until better came along - Chaos Bringer's +3: used a little - Reaper's Shadow +5: used most, primarily for incr. soul lurchers & HP regen effects - Abyssal +5: used in certain gameplay, looks great - Raiment of Armageddon +4: donned only whilst shattering soul lurcher crystals for incr. effect Didn't attain/buy any others. Shards: Fortification has a good effect, used some Healing ones a bit just to use 'em mainly, didn't see much incr. effect from Thorn, Strength seemed to incr. damage a bit so used a bit, Undying was great during certain gameplay, Havoc crucial in certain areas, Frenzy didn't seem very appealing. Crucible high score (so far): 58,250 Have sold most remaining tokens, ingredients, crystals & unwanted shards, to put into souls for incr. levels. It's been fun!
  4. JB HiFi website shows X9500H 75" $3295 delivered , reduced by $200 overnight, and some hundreds over recent months. Have heard good things about that model, & good pricing lately, so ordered 1 with only a slight extra discount to that. Well in the ballpark for what I was hoping, all things considered. Lookin' forward to setting it up (will be ~2.8m from seated viewing position); our 1st big smart LED TV
  5. Souths are deserved favourites in tomorrow's Prelim final vs Manly, but strange things often occur on the rugby league field, & Manly are undeniably dangerous when things go their way. Come on Manly boys, give it to 'em!
  6. Cool. The core detail from that (shown ~12:45) is best time of year generally to buy new tv: ~Black Friday (late November), then ~June.

  11. Bought my Samsung Galaxy Buds+ in June this year (the Samsung Au Edu portal) & they've worked well, until briefly today. My left Bud unexcpectedly played the content I was playing on my (Samsung Android) phone at a very low volume, whilst my right bud seemed to play it fine. I reset the buds using the app, checked battery levels, checked phone app settings, closed phone apps & re-opened them, tried different phone apps, checked audio balance settings etc. (all good) etc., for several mins testing & it didn't seem to improve. ~Half an hour later after having the buds in thier case for a bit I re-inserted them into my ears, played some content & they both now are working fine - can't explain why the left bud returned to normal volume. There's various posts in https://us.community.samsung.com/ (& other places on thew web) reporting similar issues - at a glance it seems to happen more often than I'd expect. Right now mine are both working fine, hopefully this issue never reappears. Haven't used mine a great deal, generally a couple of hours here & there every few days or so. Been pretty happy with them, I have to say.

  13. Lookin' on eBay @ - ESSLNB ES3058 Binoculars 15x70mm AUD$159 - Acuter SkyLander SL1570 15x70mm Binocular AUD$135 Mainly for night sky / astronomy viewing, but also general daytime occasionally perhaps. Never used such large binoculars before, hoping such magnification is nice. Will certainly look to mount it on my photography tripod for improved stability. Any suggestions / thoughts on those models mentioned? Have heard the Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 via Amazon seemed OK a while back? I like the idea of digital-image stabilization models, but ~AUD$300+ etc. is beyond the budget. Prefer closer to $150, <$200. This info link @ iceinspace.com.au seems informative: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-374-0-0-1-0.html & have seen reference to these @ bintel.com.au: https://www.bintel.com.au/product-category/binoculars/astronomy-favourites/

  16. There's only so much humiliating flogging of the Broncos one can take in one evening. Oh wait, no there's not. *Reclines back comfortably with another beverage* (There is, however, only so much Roosters success one can take in one evening.. oh well.) Tipping this round my upsets are: Warriors & Sea Eagles. Also tipped Bulldogs (eek)

    Rugby

    Ex-Wallaby Israel Folau has set up a GoFundMe page asking members of the public to donate $3 million to help funbd his legal proceedings with the Fair Work Commission and NSW Rugby for breach of contract. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-23/israel-folau-defends-crowdfunding-rugby-australia-legal-battle/11238732 He's copping all sorts of criticism, I say: Hey go easy on the poor bloke. He had his $5mil rugby contract torn up, lost his Land Rover sponsorship & car last year, had to sell his $500k Lamborghini recently, and might have to sell one of his 6 homes or blocks of land! Happy to toss him a few grand.
  24. Seems the most suitable thread for this.. Many tracks in my MP3 collection resonate.. Last 8 MP3 songs on phone just now (150 songs loaded): --- Yeastie Girls - You Suck Pixies - I Bleed Metallica - One (Live in Mexico City) Eurithmics - There Must Be An Angel Killing Joke - Eighties Weezer - Teenage Dirtbag Pixies - Bone Machine U2 - Red Hill Mining Town --- Oh, & then: Roger Waters - Mother (Live, In The Flesh) ...Excellent.
