Damn, I misread the articles. Still a good thing if it goes forward.

I’d love the initiative to start something that would overflow to us here in Canada.

There are a couple games in my Steam library that are just dormant due to the servers being shut down. Having the possibility to own and run a server for these games would be awesome.

Edit: Misread the articles, my bad.

We wish but they’ll never go away. Die hard fans and whales are going to buy the games no matter what plus all the microtransactions included.

I have the 7700XT. I game at 1440p/120fps quite easily with mid-to-high settings. I don’t regret it one bit; my previous GPU was a GTX1060 3GB variant.

I watched the solo dev play it on Steam. Oh boy, that’s a steep learning curve. I might give it a shot but it definitely doesn’t target casual players.

They could be pulling out of the GPU market but I’m unaware of that. I still hear people waiting for the Battlemage lineup so I guessed they were still in with a planned release on Q4 2024.

Otherwise, thanks for the heads-up!

Not necessarily killing it but the future is geared towards AI and machine learning. People and companies working in that sector don’t mind dishing out 3K$ for a GPU, leaving desktop PC gamers in the dust.

Aside from Nvidia, I bought a 7800XT last Christmas. No drivers issues at all and plays almost everything at 1440p/120fps on medium-to-high settings. Don’t forget Intel’s upcoming in the GPU industry as well.

Well, it’s kind of addictive even if it’s not fully released yet, DRG fan base is huge and devs are active; sale numbers are not surprising at all.

I’ll launch that game back every time they add stuff to it.

Sucks because yeah, we’re now used to being on Discord by default. Makes me miss the TeamSpeak/Ventrilo days.

I believe you should go with someone who really wants it first. Then look at their activity on Lemmy, are they a mod for other instances/communities, how much free time do they have etc.

Make a clearer choice then.

Not that I wouldn’t be interested in the position but I work night shifts and most threads are posted during the day, making me kind of useless/really late on problematic stuff.

Testing with 30 different GPUs is serious dedication.

That being said, HFW is on my wishlist once I get through some of my backlog. If someone on here has played it already, how is it?

Watch out, incoming AAAAA games!

Just checked the game’s Steam page, wishlisted it as well. That type of game is right up my alley.

I’m with you there, it’s not close to the disappointment that Diablo IV was/is but still.

I upgraded my racing cockpit in hope FM would keep me hooked but here I am back to Project CARS 2.

I totally agree with FOMO being present in Forza Motorsport, even more than in FH5.

However, it’s not what dragged me away from the game; the lack of an open multiplayer lobbies list did. There are only locked, closed multiplayer lobbies and public lobbies with defined events that last a couple days. I just want to browse what to race, apply filters etc.

I’m with you there.

Something filmed originally in 16:9 or 16:10 but pasted in portrait mode, using only 1/3 of the screen. Even if you flip your phone sideways, the video is even smaller. GAHHHHHHHH.

Definitely Dofus back then (2005-2010), Minecraft Survival Mode after that (2012-2020) and now it’s Grim Dawn.

And the 5090 probably starting at 3200$ CAD.

Sucks but yeah, it was foreseeable.

I enjoyed both of my playthroughs of Temtem and I still boot the game up from time to time, trying to earn the missing achievements.

Congrats Crema for that colourful game and if Temtem 2 (or whatever it’s gonna be called) ever comes out, it’s a day-one purchase, guaranteed.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Watch Dogs and that’s about it. Having to get through their launcher sucks big time, yes.

Not a big surprise to any gamer out there. It was even considered dead on arrival for a while.

Another Ubi game I’ll gladly skip, the last one I’ve played being The Crew 2.

Don’t leave his brother FreeCell out of this.

Everything is up to date and monitor sleep is turned off.

I’m starting to wonder if I give up on the 7700XT and go back to my 6600XT, it was sure as hell less troublesome.

Already troubleshooted the hell out of it to no avail. It is a ViewSonic Omni monitor.

I’m pretty sure it is.

However, when using a DP cable, my GPU disables itself if the computer is left unattended for 20ish minutes. Moving the mouse, using the keyboard, turning the monitor on and off, nothing is displayed once it shuts down even if I hear music/apps/games running.

Without changing any settings, using a HDMI cable solves that problem.

I’m gaming at QHD/120fps so a HDMI cable is plenty for the task.

It would surely give the company way more exposure than sticking to AMD only. Their entry level cards (Challenger series) do not feel entry level at all so they could compete with Zotac and Gigabyte for cheap, reliable gaming GPUs.

My two latest builds have been using ASRock’s MoBos and GPUs and I have yet to encounter a single problem with them.

You’re right. Perhaps I based my view on the gaming time I had daily before and after having kids.

I consider myself lucky to play 20-30mins a night and that is if the kids behave at bedtime, hence why I said casual. It’s the kind of game that I will never progress in as it requires a lot of playtime.

I can’t wait to just skip that game completely. As more stuff is revealed and as we approach the release date of Feb 16th, the more I believe the game will be a massive letdown.

In this current article is discussed the slow respawn rate of necessary items for in-game progression and people queuing to get them. REALLY rewarding for casual players (<30mins playtime per day).

worse OS

Not necessarily worse, it depends how you see it.

Windows lets me run my PC Gamepass for Xbox as well as Steam, retro console emulators, Python IDE etc, out of the box.

However, it doesn’t let me suspend games and it sure is more taxing on the hardware to run.

As I’m not exclusively playing on Steam, the ROG is perfect for my needs.

Being a heavy user of the original Nintendo Gameboy and of Sega’s Game Gear, I’m thrilled to see handhelds making a huge comeback. I own the ASUS ROG Ally and it’s sooooo pleasant to use.

We can still shout it.

Gimme an R! Gimme an S! Gimme a Rock. And. Stone!

I’m not scared this card will run 1440p at all since my 6600 XT does it considerably well. Just don’t expect to reach 120/144hz while maxing out the graphics on any recent big releases.

This gen’s sweet spot for performance relative to cost is still the RX 7800 XT, unless the 7700 XT gets a massive price cut.

Entry-level? I use a Ryzen 5 5600G coupled with a RX6600XT and I play most of my games at 1440p/120fps no problem. For heavier titles, it hovers around 70-90fps.

A Ryzen 7 5700 would be more than entry-level though. Low-cost on an well-capable gaming AMD build? Hell yes.

Interesting.

I loved playing Dead Cells, I will surely get this one once it’s out.

However, another website that spells rogue as rouge. Being a French-Canadian, I always read rougelike as “similar to the color red”.

I wonder if EA automatically brings in negative reviews even if the game is somewhat enjoyable?

Genuinely asking, not a fan of EA in any way. I won’t buy this game but 22% seems atrociously low.

Surprised to see my GPU so low in the boards.

RX6600XT with only 0.43% market share.

Slight increase in 4060 (non-TI and TI) usage across the board.

Yup, approximately what I had in mind, under 15% of the original player base.

The grinding needed in D2 and D3 didn’t feel as tiresome as it is in D4.

It might be that I’m becoming older, “grumpier” by the years and that I don’t have the patience and time to grind correctly anymore.

Exactly. They’re maybe the minority but every one who played D2 and D3 with me along the years have given up on D4 after a month. They preferred going back to D2R.

I wonder what % of the player base has disappeared from the game since launch.

Interesting, I’ll be a day one buyer, it seems fun!
