    Well, you see IRC and forums went together because they filled two different needs and we understood that back in the day. IRC was for chatting, short, quick real time communication that would be lost to the ether as soon as you signed off, unless you had a bouncer or log bot. Forums were for long information, be that long posts or posts that needed to endure for a long time. Sure you’d get some one liner responses to those posts, but forums were not at all instant like IRC. Though the information did stay much longer, and was much more searchable and organized. Discord has spoiled us, being quick and chatty while also allowing for longer posts and being searchable. At least within the Discord client. Shoot they even added those “forum” channels to replicate the old forum feel. But real time.

    Well except for any Xbox peripherals such as controllers, or games published or made by studios owned by Microsoft. It's not just Windows OS.

    Monster Hunter Wilds: First Impressions After the Long-Awaited Release

    I’ve also been playing Monster Hunter Wilds for a few days now, and your impressions really align with mine. The world is absolutely stunning especially that moment when you're hunting in the jungle and a thunderstorm kicks in, with lightning flashing and the monster vanishing into the misty rain… I just froze and watched how beautifully everything was animated Capcom really nailed the atmosphere. What’s interesting is that I’m not usually the type to get hyped for big releases. My main genre is completely different I’m more into quick, session-based games. Lately, I mostly chill with online slots where you don’t need to follow storylines, grind, or wait for updates it’s all instant and simple. For example, I often play free slots with no download on sites like this it’s a handy service for players in Canada, no downloads or signups needed. Just a good way to switch off after work or during breaks. But Wilds genuinely surprised me. It’s the first Monster Hunter that’s really pulled me in. Maybe because it has that same element of unpredictability like with spins: you never know where the monster will run, whether another one will interfere, or if some disaster is about to hit you from the sky. It adds a rush, even when the gameplay isn’t traditionally fast-paced. As for combat totally agree, it’s become more tactical. I’ve already had a few moments where bad positioning or ignoring a monster’s wound led to a complete party wipe. By the way, I’m playing with friends co-op is awesome here, though the servers sometimes freeze… although it might just be my provider (I’m in Toronto anyone else from Canada, how’s your connection? ). On the technical side yeah, unfortunately still feels a bit “unfinished.” My setup is solid (RTX 4070, 32 GB RAM), but I still get frame drops, especially when switching areas or when multiple large monsters are on screen. I saw on Steam that a big patch is on the way hopefully it drops soon.

    The legion go s with steam OS should replace it 10000% but I don't know if it will. There will never be a steam deck 2 and the steam deck is already outdated and slow.
