Couldn't say it better. The amount of choice is truly astonishing.

Gonna finish up Psychonauts 2 today and then Im gonna do Valhalla DLCs and Scott Pilgrim. I keep forgetting my non-Steam games, so i just gotta play them asap.
I wish I could offer helpful advice.... I'm having a big problem with replaying games this year.Meanwhile I'm replaying Hollow Knight, despite having a huge backlog.
So far I have replayed Titanfall 2, Homeworld 1,2 and Karak, all Dead Space games and even Mass Effect Andromeda(!!!), and that's ignoring remasters - you know, little games like Mass Effect Legendary edition.
So that could have been a "few" games removed from my backlog. But at least I can continue to complain about it being big
If you want to find out if your system supports Windows 11, there's an advanced tool that checks much more than the official tool from Microsoft. You can download it here:

My Windows 10 keeps crashing when enabling TPM in the BIOS. According to the tool linked above, this is because my boot SSD is still in MBR mode instead of GPT. I found a guide to change this without wiping the Windows 10 installation, but I'm not sure I can trust this. Anyone tried this?

Also my BIOS is in BIOS + UEFI mode. I guess this needs to be UEFI only? I don't know anything about this matter...

Still using BIOS? It's time to switch to UEFI — here's how on Windows 10.
In this guide, we'll show you the steps to use the MBR2GPT tool to convert a drive using MBR to GPT to properly switch from BIOS to UEFI without reinstalling Windows 10 or losing your data.

No point for me because they didn't officially added 7700k to the compatible list so I'm not in a hurry for the update, thanks anyway.If you want to find out if your system supports Windows 11, there's an advanced tool that checks much more than the official tool from Microsoft.

I think the first Shantae game shown on the picture has never been part of a bundle yet.
There are some good games in the bundle that might be worth €9.99 but Humble Choice is near so bear that in mind
Edit. I don't know why the link says July lol but its for September

No chance with my i7-4790K. Maybe with the next big upgrade.If you want to find out if your system supports Windows 11, there's an advanced tool that checks much more than the official tool from Microsoft. You can download it here:

Take2 with a page from Nintendo's book on how to deal with your own community. They may technically and legally be in the right (fuck current copyright laws), but if there is one way to poison the well, it's to go after groups like this with lawyers
that is sitting top of my backlog in factMeanwhile I'm replaying Hollow Knight, despite having a huge backlog.
It annoys me how Valve has yet to make page for events that are currently happening, like this one:
They need to create a category for events so it's easier to access them.

Only interested of Shantae ulti. Would be nice to have 1 for 5€ tier.
Well I think I may have had enough of ERA. Kind of exploded at another user that accused me of running everything on my PC as an Admin while ignoring everything else about my post. Hell even decided to report myself for it. Even asked for a ban from the site.
Hell it was just as well there wasn't a cricket bat or some other blunt instruments around. I could have really done some damage.
Funny thing is I am usually a fairly calm person.
Anyway, I think I need to stay away from places like that for some time. Stop reading comments, I had already stopped with Social Media in general. Spend the weekend playing FFXIV, a bit of 40K with friends and seeing my parents for Sunday Lunch.
Will still be here though. Will need a crowbar to get me away from here.
Finally hats off to Alexandros and Lashley they have the patience of saints when they are on Era.

Yeah, I don't know why they tried to frame you as some idiot who can't work a PC?
Era is somehow getting worse with PC threads imo
Hey can we limit the cross forum trash talk? We've had kind of a lot of it lately.
Yes. At the very least, put it behind HIDE tags. At best, no talk about that here.

I apologise. I was just venting but yeah, shouldn't have posted my frustrations here. Sorry.
I've been there as well m8, don't worry about it. Glad you decided to stay in our cozy community
I think that is what most people including me will be interested in.
Feel little sad now that Ive finished Psychonauts 2, what to play next and how can anything feels as good, think I might have to play lots of Minecraft as a cleanser.
I'm playing minecraft while watching a stream of people playing minecraft, lol. Minecraftception!
100% in Lost Heroes 2
Give Lost Heroes 3 please Bandai

I don't know if its me or just Choice day very close but another historical lowest price on a game potentially screaming Choice next week
[HIDEPOSTS]It's understandable that you're frustrated and want to vent, because there are a lot of current and ex-Era and ex-GAF members on here. And many of the people who left Era after the PC community started getting bad came here, so there's a solidarity with your frustrations here.
But also, be mindful that there are absolute ghouls on the web, many of whom thrive on cross-forum drama and are known to dox/harass people, so it's probably best that we just don't draw attention to ourselves. We're here to talk about games without the baggage of the old site, so we should probably keep it that way.
Plus there are a lot of good people who still believe in what ResetEra was supposed to be when it first launched. Even if many of us disagree with how the site has turned out, we should at least show them respect and not shit-talk their community offsite.[/HIDEPOSTS]
And I don't want this to come off as me giving a lecture. lashman had a chat with me about the very same thing 12-18 months ago.
Apparently Admin accounts and having UAC off are bad things.
...
Not gonna stop me cuz I need things running as Admin.

Outside of Ubisoft Connect and its 45 billion admin requests, what things need admin privileges?
Yeah I'm hoping for Spellforce 3 and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD myself for Choice. Spellforce 3 is getting a updated version if you own the old version so that would be nice to get upgraded and Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is releasing next month so getting Banana Blitz would be a good advertisement for the new game. At least I'm hopeful it is.
At this point if I unpause Choice I would be charged right? I just want to use that discount on their store before their current sale ends but I don't want their current offering.

Are there any good PC focused podcasts? Like PS I Love You XOXO/Beyond for Playstation but for PC obviously
Genshin Impact is one thing.
The other's more complicated. I use Steam Input and a Steam Controller to home-theaterize my PC and laptop. Steam Input normally doesn't work with admin processes, it can't interact with them and if they come in focus things can break. So when I'm using my PC or laptop without a keyboard and mouse attached, it's very helpful to have them under Admin privileges so I don't need to get up and find a spare mouse if something goes wrong enough to need the task manager.
It also helps with running Genshin through Steam so I don't need a mouse to start it.
Maybe The Crate and Crowbar. I haven't listened to it myself, but I'm told it's good.
Going to give it a try since I'm also looking for something more PC focused.
Hard to believe no one ever filled the top hat shaped hole Totalbiscuit left on PC gaming coverage
Phoenix RISING
A phoenix always RISES!
Okay, this is a steam-related thread so no DIIR is justified.
But that's fucked up that lashman has a picture of Bill Murray for Deathloop, when that dev team made a conscious decision to feature black protagonists, against all odds and industry trends.
Yeah I get the Groundhog's Day joke, but I decided on the reveal of that game that I would buy it because of all that melanin.

I can't comment on the home theater setup you've got going on, but Genshin Impact requiring admin privileges sounds really odd. It really shouldn't need that.
But if it works for you and you're fine with the risks, I have no intention of changing your ways.

hmm, some pretty good games there. I may wait a few days just to see if any of them are in the September Humble Choice, though
A clean install of Steam or Windows?
userdata has all the important stuff, i.e. saves, screenshots and various configurations
steamapps has all the installed games
Completed a few games recently. Did a second playthrough of Inside. Man that game is very atmospheric.
Its because they're celebrating 5m sales for the franchise. 1 and 4 are also historical low.
Genshin's got it's own anticheat that needs Admin privileges, I guess.I can't comment on the home theater setup you've got going on, but Genshin Impact requiring admin privileges sounds really odd. It really shouldn't need that.

I've had this kinda setup for... Probably three years or so now, and I've had nothing bad happen. Granted, I'm smart enough to know basic internet safety, and also that Windows Defender is actually better than paid anti-virus stuff.
Bad things are when you have to call ms and report cc and driver's license info in order to receive an email which asks 5 reasons why you should be able to launch your application on your pc and a warning about malicious attempts to remove spyware crap.
admin + no uac = great
