The Marines in Halo are always a talkative bunch, but in all my time I've never heard them say this. It seems someone still watches Star Wars in the 26th century.

I had such a fun time playing Castle Wars in Halo 5, so I was excited to get back into it again with the start of the new Operation. Grappling around sticking, slicing and smashing has never been better.

It's only been a few hours and the first patch has been released. This fixes the sky, which looks a lot better now, as well as the overall darkness of the game. This is a second play through using the same settings.

Project Borealis is playable on the Steam Deck but compromises need to be made. To run at 30fps with 80% screen resolution at 720p I had to reduce texture, effects and shadow quality. Other settings for antialiasing, reflections and draw distance were set to their lowest values. I tried FSR but that only made the screen flicker, and the game wouldn't run without Proton Experimental selected. However after all that I was able to play the game and it does indeed feel just like Half Life. Perhaps future updates will improve performance.

Escharum isn't the only one with infinite ammo.

Long distance relationships never end well 😉

When my boy gets ganged up on by a group of bad guys it's up to me to put them in their place.

Despite all the things Epic does to break the game my boy likes to play so I join in from time to time.

I haven't played this in ages, doesn't mean I can't win the odd match.

It was good to be in a game where I didn't feel like the net code was killing me. I was able to use the hammer without any lag, it's a thing of beauty. Getting the final kill was the cherry on the top.
