Yeah, I heard that that issue is mostly fixed nowadays. But still, I’m not very fond of Nvidia and their business practises. Though, I’m not really up to date with how well AMD does raytracing.

1060 6GB gang here… I will probably get a 3060 or 4060 next time I uppgrade, unless I ditch Nvidia (thinking of moving to Linux).

GW1 really was the shit back in the days. Too bad it feels pretty janky today…

I’m still using my old 1060 and it runs like a charm on medium! And it looks great as well. Can’t believe how well they’ve managed to optimize this game.

I’m in the same boat. FTL is where it’s at (for me).

I haven’t played in a couple of years now, since they released the big open world plains. I did install it earlier in the fall, but still haven’t gotten around to it yet…

Haha, you’ll have to ask the AI about that…

Another fun one to try is contexto.me. You guess a word, and an AI gives a score on how close it deems you are to the word.

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage was a real banger that I played the shit out of

Shit, I’ve bought that but haven’t gotten around to playing it yet. Is it any good?

I’ve heard that New World is in a good place now. I’m actually planning to take it up again to see if it’s true.

Regular ReVance works just fine. Installed it to my wife’s phone just earlier today.

Since Sony is publishing this everything you buy for PS is supporting that behaviour.

Actually, chip jokers can be wherever. The important thing is that any +Mult jokers are to the left of your xMult jokers.

I spent 80 hours with it in the beginning of the year and it’s really a blast!

I finished Dave the Diver this weekend, great little game!

Now I’ve jumped board the No Man’s Sky train again, for the first time in six (!) years. And so far it’s been really fun and chill!

Yeah. Kinda. Sometimes if you press slightly in the wrong place you get the cursor instead, which can easily lead to misclicks. But it’s definitely playable! A mobile port would be really dope though

You are not wrong, but remember that they only employ like 40-50 people. Even if the playerbase goes down to 10% of what it is that’s still not a lot of people.

I’ve felt this way since I last played in update 4… Huh, another update coming soon? Might as well wait! Was planning on trying update 8, buuut we’ll see about that I suppose haha

Yes, but if you want to sell your game in China you need to follow those rules. At least that’s how it was 15 years ago. Things could’ve changed.

I’ve heard that roguelites have progression between runs, which makes successive runs easier, while roguelikes usually don’t?

If you do like Wheel of Time it’s always worth giving Brandon himself a shot as well. He’s busy writing his own universe called Cosmere. It’s got a few different series based on different planets and magic systems that can mostly be read as standalones, but they are also connected in… let’s just say ‘certain ways’ for now. Mistborn is a popular starting point. Personally I think ‘Emperor’s Soul’ is better if you want to try out his writing style, since it’s only about 100 pages or so.

FF VII

Yes and yes! At least for me. I’ve only got a 1060 6GB, but it managed 30-40 fps on medium in most places, which felt fine to me. I’ve heard that it’s the higher end cards that have been having problems though, so can’t comment on how that is now.

I agree with bitwaba. You’ll get the most out of the experience if you finish the first one. Easiest difficulty and only focusing on the story should get you through it in a couple of hours.

Edit: But also, if you really don’t want to there is a recap in the beginning of Survivor that I believe will catch you up ok. (not 100% if that’s enough to bring you up to speed, it’s been a couple of weeks since I saw it)

I finished Jedi: Survivor last week. The story was really good, and all the systems are basically better than the first one. Definitely worth a playthrough.

Then I started playing Against the Storm (going in basically blind, only knowing it’s a roguelike city builder), and boy it’s fun. The only negative so far is that the rounds can take some time (1-2h if I’m unlucky) and I don’t always have time for a full run since I’ve got two kids taking up the biggest chunk of my day.

I’ve spent close to 20 hours in Jedi: Survivor. It runs surprisingly well on medium with my 1060 6GB, getting 30-40 fps except when in the desert. The game itself is really fun, an improvement on basically every aspect of the first one.

Ah jeeez, I’ve totally missed that… Might have to dive in again after I’m done with Jedi: Survivor then… I think Update 5 was the last time I played now.

And I’m still here on my 1060 6GB rocking 40 fps on medium in Jedi: Survivor.

Is there any word of Update 8 to stable yet?

It’s “The Onion”. Not The Onion is a community/subreddit where people post news stories that sound like they should be from The Onion but are actually true!

I can see myself getting burned out in a few weeks as well. But so far the combat is really fun, and the stories are interesting enough to keep me playing.

I’ve actually started playing Genshin Impact, and it surprised me how fun it is! And it’s nice to be able to play on the phone when travelling/sitting in the sofa, and then hop on the PC when the kids and wife has gone to bed.

That’s weird. I still have no fucking clue why devs have any say in this. It’s literally just a cloud computer where you can play games you already own on a (approved?) launcher.

Doesn’t the publisher of the game have to approve for a game to be put on GeForce Now?

Nope! It’s probably the only cloud service that lets you use Steam/Epic/whatever.

I think it’d be really cool, and they could always make it so that the data never leaves your computer looks at the title and realising it’s EA we’re talking about Oh wait…

Ooh, there were a couple of them.

• Pokemon Blue/Yellow/Gold

• Theme Park World (never see this mentioned anywhere??)

• Diablo II

• Warcraft 3

• Mario Kart Double Dash

• Super Smash Melee

• XG2 (Extreme G 2)

• Screamer 2

• F-Zero GX

• Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit

These are the ones I can remember right off the bat, might add some more if I remember them.

After playing a few story heavy games I’m now playing modded minecraft, so that I can watch a show on my second monitor. I’ve also started trying out Genshin Impact, mostly on mobile. It’s surprisingly fun so far!

Oh really? That seems like a weird move… I’ve at least kept it in the background, on a separate screen, at all times (though I’m not sure how much that would help…) But I’d probably use this anyway to get rid off the worst lag, it seems to be the most consistent way to do it.

Have you tried setting the process priority to high? (Task Manager -> Details -> Right click BG3 -> Det priority to high). This got me a relatively smooth experience.
