Hmmmm yeah I’m torn on this one. Id put stray into a category where visuals are actually important and I much prefer to play it at 4k than on my Steam Deck. Normally Im 100% gameplay over everything.
But it doesn’t look awful they did a great job working with switch hardware.
Overall I’m happy more people get to play Stray, its the first game my non gaming girlfriend saw videos of and wanted me to buy it for her. And like a lot of people, she probably wouldn’t even notice if it was running at 1440 vs 720.
Elden Ring FINALLY clicked for me. I bought it on launch (not very patient of me, and I recognized it as a “great” game but for a variety of reasons just wasn’t for me. Im replaying it like a lot of people have been and I actually specced my person correctly and its a lot more fun now. Maybe I can experiment with other eventually but a balanced build has been so nice.
so I have a very bad experience with girl best friend situations from my ex boyfriend. Which was also one of the many reasons why I broke up with him. Basically putting her first, her calling in the middle of the night to ask him to drive her home from the city (which he did) and much more. It just left a really bad taste in my...
Agreed, it may help to reframe this not as a competition for your boyfriends attention but maybe rather as meeting her will expand your friend group? I don’t think its weird for my partner to text with my friends, so maybe its worth it to see her, spend some time with her, and get to know a person your partner highly values.
Definitely an optimistic viewpoint, but one that’s lead to my personal happiness with my partner.
The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks....
So my sticks still work, but I’ve worn down the rubber on two of the left joysticks so much its crumbling apart. Purchased in 2021 and was my main driver until that happened about 6 months ago, so a fair bit of use. Used that opportunity to try out the PS5 controller and the new Xbox series ones.
And I mean… they’re good?
The resistive triggers were cool and the touchpad is really customizeable. Xbox controller stays solid but boring.
Switch Pro controller feels great but weird to be playing PC games with. Nothing WRONG with it, just feels mentally disconnecting for some reason lol.
Idk. For me the Pro 2 and the wireless SNES sized 8bitdo controllers are perfectly comfy. Have an ultimate in its way to me now actually.
Apologies for being late on this. It completely slipped my mind! I drove across the country to continue moving stuff up north over the weekend, and just lost track of time I suppose. The threads here now! Expect another one on Sunday. ❤️
Im an avid twitch user. Please put down the pitchforks you may have from the title. This is her whole schtick (morgpie), finding creative ways around the censorship. Yes she does sex work, but she’s also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen. She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS. You can only horny watch for so long, at a certain point people are staying because they just enjoy her personality and stories.
Like this is fucking hilarious. Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.
I was going to say replaying but I feel like that limits the question to games like Prey or Fallout New Vegas that have endings and games like The Sims 2 or Cities Skylines where you can play indefinitely end up excluded....
Man I WANT to love Horizon. It seems exactly like my type of game. But everytime I play it everything feels… insincere? Idk something about it doesnt hit. Still paid for it day one when it came to PC though to support the cross platform Sony initiative.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. The tutorial sections did absolutely put me off the first time, but I saw flashes of brilliance after I got over that hump. Definitely gonna give it another go after the Helldivers rush wears off.
A lot of players were having crashing on startup or during character creator, so that could account for some valid criticism. But from those who have it running well (according to two of my buddies so totally anecdotal) the gameplay is pretty great.
you guys… don’t hate nd but I have a bidet, and i don’t actually like it that much. Its warm and has adjustable pressure all that jazz but… Idk. Isnt clicking for me.
My Samsung Odessy + has been going strong for 3 years now, feeling like a new headset when i upgraded 6 CPU generations and a couple GPU generations. I bet it could get maxed out even further with even better hardware, but NOPE.
A major option for PC VR are Windows Mixed Reality headsets. They are all wired with inside out tracking. Microsoft recently announced WMR is going to be depreciated, and the next version of Windows won’t have WMR available. This means sooner than later, all of us with WMR will need to “upgrade”. And by upgrading, it means looking into either the aging Index, older Vives, a Meta Quest headset (which has its own compatibility quirks), or a bigscreen beyond.
PSVR2 is the logical upgrade path for those of us without base station tracking and don’t mind the cord.
I could be wrong, but I believe WMR requires the WMR Portal app and the WMR For Steam VR (from steam) to function properly. I think there has been SOME progress made with unofficial support, mainly driven by the Linux crowd where they dont work at all, but not anything resembling a functional replacement.
Dude its like… why. Temtem itself was such a snooze and this does NOT look interesting. Why not a cozy little city builder with some if the iconic TemTems? There is almost no brand recognition here. Idk I just really wanted TenTem to be PCs answer to a good online pole-clone (that isn’t PokeMMO).
I was shrine hunting in Kyoto when I walked into some random market with heaps of small shops. My friend and I were the only tourists there that I could see and we walked past this small watch shop and the yellow watch face caught my eye, not really a pokemon fan but the colour looks so nice!...

I didnt immediately recognize it as having that COD feel, but the second after the helper astronaut points you to the right direction then fucking dies I could see the cinematic experience start to unfold
I actually use the ergo keyboard pictured in the thumbnail and I actually really like it. Not love, but for WHF CAD drafting its fantastic.
Like its all plastic build quality, and the buttons arent fantastic, but man is the built in wrist rest and the endless amount of availible keys It does its job great.
I hope they can maybe introduce higher quality materials, but I wont hold my breath. Overall this is a net positive buts its so weird how willing Microsoft is to cook up full products and axe official support seemingly randomly.
I fucked myself over playing this in early access. I spent 10-15 hours in EA, so when I booted up the full release, even though I did dump another 20 hours in, I feel like I’ve had my fill. Fights start to become a slog for me personally as team size grew, things would just take forEVER. Cool power fantasy to feel like I have a small army at my disposal though.
Seems to be an Animal Crossing-like cozy game. Although it sucks its locked on Apple arcade, this will be the perfect little mobile game. I don’t know if Apple Arcade means no IAP, but I can see this game ripe for enshitification.
Dont want to be too cynical about a casual game. Looks cute.
