    If I remember correctly in that case they were just using flight paths that crossed the camera, not the audio / doppler curves

    I'm mostly just happy Justice is composing the soundtrack. I'll probably wait for the pc version though.

    The main books are famously unfinished, and likely never will be - that's why the ending was so hated. GRRM wanted several more seasons to finish the story, but the show runners rushed it.

    The Dunk and Egg show that came out recently is based on finished material. Pretty sure house of the dragon actually has something to draw from as well. I don't think they have enough solid material to build the whole franchise they are planning though, if I remember correctly there was at least one more show in the works in addition to the movie. Eventually it will rely on name recognition alone, George probably doesn't have that many years left and I wouldn't say HBO's writers haven't exactly earned audiences trust with their Game of Thrones record.

    For what it's worth, the books are excellent. They do suffer from a Tolkien-ish level of detail at times, and were also written by an extremely horny degenerate.

    I finally got good BOTW emulation set up for my ultrawide a few months ago, which involved dumping the save from my switch and converting it to a Wii-U format. I'm trying to finish the only thing I haven't beat in the game - master mode trial of the hero, (started via the master sword pedestal).

    I tried it like 15 times when I set up the emulator then took a break, maybe I need to go back soon. Or maybe I should finally kill Miquella in Elden Ring, or the dlc bosses in Hollow Knight, or finish Silksong. Maybe there is some sort of pattern here, namely my lack of extreme skill and mild masochism...

    I nominated StarCraft, which I still think is a very solid choice. We could set up some 4v4 matches or a tournament after people play the campaign. StarCraft was one of the main games of my childhood, and was my introduction to online gaming... If you've never played it, I would highly recommend trying it out someday. I've heard it described as the chess of the future.

    In retrospect, I probably should have gone with WarCraft due to the fact that WC3 just got a new expansion like 23 years later. Damn shadow drops!

    I started the TP recomp a few days ago, it's called dusklight. It looks amazing on pc - I tried putting DLSS 5 on it too for shits and gigs, can't say I recommend that however!
