    ***The High-Res Screenshot Thread!***

    Cyberpunk is an example of a game (like so many) that imho looks meh-ish now in still pictures but awesome while playing/in moving pictures :). I keep being wow-ed by the game even running it on a 2080S with no no Ray or Path tracing. I feel the Witcher 3 is also like this as well. It may not...

    Would you tip game devs?

    As for tipping, yes, good games, that are an honest price. From the last few years only Factorio comes to mind. In the old days, Microprose games, I would gladly pay the devs now to make ST:BOTF 100% stable and modern pc capable. And others, but BOTF comes to mind initially for me :p. I would...

    Would you tip game devs?

    Jesus :cry::cry:. Blizzard is the one of the worst game companies out there, milking game addicts for years with subscriptions, reeally, they are a worse PoS than EA or Ubisoft imho. They have contributed very little to good games imho, yes they have contributed to games like DOTA2 or LoL via...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Civ 6 appears fine if you set fps to 30 and TDP limit to 8, whatever that may mean, according to reddit post: 4-5 hrs of battery life. I expect that to be 12 hrs easily with power bank. I can recharge the powerbank in between sessions as well (albeit slow but still). Not sure how the Deck...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Obivioously I am speaking for myself as I am contemplating buying it. Like I said, civ 6 is the main reason where I want to play for hours in one go. I have a powerbank with 45w PD underway as mate was in Shenzen and picked one up for me cheaply... (Xiaomi 3 Pro) I want to drown in games for...

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    I am a few eps in, absolutely love the tv series so far. I like the female lead as well, I usually play as a female in RPG's and she is pleasant to look at :). If they are equal actors and acting wise I prefer pretty ladies over men at all times :). Hardly seen anything woke so far? I think...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Stellaris is more real time isn't it ? Never got into it though. I must give it another go but somehow the UI and game is not intuitive for me. Unlike Sins of a solar empire for example which I was insta-hooked on. I know turn based is fine, Like I said, I've had ten of hours of Civ 6 on the...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    I Understand, I've played vamprie survivors or hades for multiple games and/or hours in a go. I have 70 hrs in Hades and 20 ish in Vampire Survivors. But not like civ6, strategy games are in their own league. If I fire up civ 6 it's a 50% chance I'm still playing it 5 or 6 hrs later :p. Or...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    I wouldn't mind 30 fps on controller tbh, it's a matter of getting used to. I played RDR2 initially on a 980Ti, and I did have framedrops into the high 20's... On mouse + kb yeah 30 fps is sluggish. But on gamepad singleplayer, meh, it's acceptable... If you play on a real PS2 or PS3/Xbox360...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    2Tb is very little imho these days when a single game can take up 120 gb. My primary home gaming and multimedia pc has 20 tb of storage. Of which 5 TB across 4 SSD's... Which have less than 400 gb free in total, all applications and games... I mean come on, 1 tb Steam Deck would be full with...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    The only places are holidays, outside (e.g. garden, park, etc) or planes/moving vehicles. Places where data usage and reliability is insufficient for streaming or no internet. Everywhere else: my couch, my bed, my dad's place, my mums place, I have streaming capability: In living room I have...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Fine, summer sales it is, unless I come across a really good 2nd hand deal. Last week I was still contemplating and a 1tb OLED + dock came on or 500 euros only a 20 min drive from me, it was sold the same day :(. With receipt/warranty from jan 2024.

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    I've decided I want a handheld in any case. Steam Deck Oled appears the way to go, for me battery life is more important than anything else. I don't midn running 800p, higher res is only worse imho for such a low performance device. Do we expect this to be on offer on the summer sale or winter...

    What are your favorite game studio's/or publishers of all time?

    I've only known Capcom since later since I was never into consoles or arcade. I've been a PC exclusive gamer always, beside the old PS2 I bought later on cheaply (and barely used, it's hard going to SD gfx when you have been used to 1080p for ages, even at the ps2 time I was used to 1600x1200)...

    What are your favorite game studio's/or publishers of all time?

    Thought it's a fun idea for a topic. What game studio or publisher has contributed mosty to your game addiction, upbringing and the most fun? For me my addition started with Microprose which for me is the GOAT still: the best games and game series imho have come from Microprose originally: Sid...

    Need VmWare vSphere Client 5.5 for old Esxi server

    Managed to do what I wanted via the CLI in the end by opening SSH on Esxi... Still, this took way to much time. I think some software licence tactics are digusting.

    Need VmWare vSphere Client 5.5 for old Esxi server

    Hmmm, that is odd, I've tried multiple browsers, internet connections (home, office, mobile) and for me none of them work.

    Windows 11 is garbage

    I use: Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSB 2016 on my private laptop as iti is the least bloated version Windows 10 pro 1909 on my home desktop ( I killed everything Windows update, **** their malware). I only upgraded to 1909 when RDR2 came out as it required a certain minimum drivers and those...

    Need VmWare vSphere Client 5.5 for old Esxi server

    Nope, official site says not allowed even if I create an account. 2nd website I already found myself, but all download links are dead. It's annoying how devs say end of life to products which work perfectly fine, I can't waste the time to upgrade to a newer version of esxi, but I need to...

    Need VmWare vSphere Client 5.5 for old Esxi server

    Url on the web-ui of Esxi (server from 2013/14) points to a dead url. Does anyone know where you can download vSpehre client 5.5 for windows? I really need to reconfigure some old VM's. Somehow all the links I can find on the net are dead. So annoying as I can't manage the VM's properly now...
