    Would you tip game devs?

    What a ridiculous proposition especially when paired with his obscene examples. These games are gigantic budget and expensive games which in most cases do nothing interesting. Not some passion driven indie project. Must be smoking the same rubbish he was back at blizzard to express such a dumb...

    The last game you completed, and rating.

    Problem for me with Alyx was performance. Alyx ran so badly on my old CPU. I could probably run it now even though my GPU is ancient. It was also uncomfortable for any decent period of gaming, a pain to setup, the cable was annoying, and more life happened. Otherwise I still strongly believe...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Better off picking some less demanding games then or it's going to be a struggle.

    Upgrading Nvidia Gefore 1080 Ti Option

    Problem is that it has less feature support. Look at something like Alan Wake 2 as a prime example. Until recently this had awful performance on hardware without support for mesh shaders. This was obviously a terrible decision and they've since improved performance for those without, but do you...

    *** The Official Battlefield 2042 thread***

    Having never worked there I have no real insight, but I imagine that there's no unifying vision between the execs and the talent. Those who want to make games have some passion which is generally not understood or cared for by those at the top. There's no unifying vision in these big publisher...

    The Callisto Protocol

    :D Seriously though, is this anything like dead space? I've absolutely no idea beyond seeing some surface level comparisons when it released. How would you describe this game?

    It's a shame, but at least no bitter memories exist of something that should have been better! I've still got to play alyx. One day I'll dust off the headset or buy a new one and play it.

    Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

    I've not played this, but top down shooter which is single player. Yes. DRG is repetitive, but I find it fun because of the team aspect. You still basically just shoot stuff. Not saying this game isn't good. I've no idea really, but other than the name I'm not sure it shares enough to be...

    What PC games are you playing?

    It's it a multiple ending game? Will have to search anyway. It's likely next on my interest list unless something more interesting comes along!

    Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

    DRG is a bit repetitive! Depends if you like this kind of game and are happy to play alone. That's the real draw to DRG... This is a completely different game in so many ways, it may as well not share the name. Not for me anyway..

    **Star Wars Outlaws Open World Star Wars game from Massive Entertainment**

    I'd love to play a decent SW game which really immersed me in the world. Not just climbing towers and repeatedly clearing outposts, but something well crafted with some character. I've tried kotor2 in the past, but it feels quite dated. Otherwise seems like the kind of thing I want. The universe...

    What PC games are you playing?

    What's the playtime like? I've not played the original. Demo for this remake was good. The setting and art are quite my thing so I feel this would be a good play for me as long as it's not too long or has a million endings.

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    I've not played it, but come on. People like different things in varying quantities! You're very much speaking for yourself. Anyway, unless you have three or more battery packs you're not going to be playing rdr2 or cyberpunk for 10 or 12 hours on a plane. Last flight to India I took the deck...

    What PC games are you playing?

    I was trying to get back into rdr2, but saw noita on sale so my free time is now going into that.. I'm just less than 2 hours in and haven't managed to get very far in a run yet. Seems brutally difficult and fairly confusing when it comes to modifying wands, but this just adds to the draw..

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Sounds like a decent deal! Yeah best bet keep your ears to the ground for news and eyes out for a decent second hand price. Knowing what I know now I'd just buy one right away, but I've got good use out of it. If it's mainly for your trip next year I'd wait it out unless you happen to know you...

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    There original decks were discounted in previous sales so I'm betting it's likely to be on sale this summer. I'm not aware of a competitor with better battery life, but if you're willing to wait until summer sales then who knows what will be around or announced.

    EA Play subscription increases by 80%

    Tried this for a month to play the dead space remake since I wasn't interested in paying £50 close to a year after release. It was definitely good value for that single purpose, but I see no reason to subscribe for a year for any of their games. I've also never tried game pass so I'm probably...

    Does the KDE partition manager allow you to manage NTFS partitions out of the box? I know there have been improvements to NTFS support in the last year for arch, so it's possible that this would work. In the past I had to use the ntfs-3g (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3G) package to do...

    The Intel Arc owners thread

    Nothing like that from my experience. Can't speak for all distros, but on arch you just install the Nvidia packages with pacman and it just works. The most annoying problem I've had was RE4 remake was unplayable because of a driver issue that I believe is now fixed as I streamed it from my...

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    :D That's valid. It's not as slow as the previous games and feels more of a shooter. It may well have been tiring to be running out of ammo. I'm not much for replaying games anyway. RE has never been that kind of game for me!
