Deathloop is really amazing. Just spent like 2h going through one area and i don't think that i explored it more than 50% XD
And some vertical ones XD

Alas I coudn't achieve such visual fidelty due to owning a 6GB graphics card
I see you have been playing The Witness with RTX ON, and you have reached the final room of the game.
Nvidia may help with cloud gaming for demos at conferences, and play-tests (especially with work-from-home) to make sure that no build can be leaked. Plus, they have to communicate with platforms and publishers to support games on release day on Geforce Now. Maybe, add some telemetry with GeForce Experience to the pot, e.g. I know Microsoft's GameBar acquires info about my playtime for games which are neither from their store nor on GamePass.

Here I am trying to patiently wait to play Deathloop and you guys keep making it harder with those screenshots and glowing impressions. Evilllll!!!!
Also, finally got my second jab. But thanks to my wonderful and organized government, I'm now member of the very weird "took first dose of Astrazenica and second one of Pfizer" club..
Maybe it will increase my chances of getting mutant powers... because so far I haven't got any

god i wish i could gorge on the olive garden's free breadsticks and soup
but no, on the few days i live alone every week, i must either dine on food i brang from home, the same "already-done-chicken-heated-on-pan-with-soy-sauce + rice", or a box of Fjordland (which are pretty good, but they're a bit expensive)
i miss youth
I miss having money to eat out! I had a budget for the London trip and I ate out every day. Life was good.
if it helps the game is a broken messHere I am trying to patiently wait to play Deathloop and you guys keep making it harder with those screenshots and glowing impressions. Evilllll!!!!

I am enjoying Deathloop from a gameplay and story perspective. It's a great-looking game too.
But my god it's buggy. I've had instances where the game just freezes for a second or more, especially outside Colt's apartment. Every time I start the game it keeps resetting my resolution from 4K to 720p. If you don't cap the framerate at 30, 60 or 120fps, you get stutters. And good luck playing the game at locked 120fps. So those of us with 120hz VRR displays get worse performance at 70-90fps than even 30fps unless we explicitly disable that feature, which is plain ridiculous.
It's a great game, but it's definitely come in hot.

Aside from resetting my resolution, I've had all these problems as well. The game .exe stopped responding thrice while I was in Colt's apartment. It fixed itself after 20-30 seconds but still... you do not want things like this to happen in a game you can't save.
I also read that the game engine polls inputs at a fixed 60hz so if your frame rate isn't a multiple of that then you'll get that jittering when your input doesn't sync up with the screen refresh.
The game seems good but it does feel like the PC version is an afterthought. Even the little tutorial videos that are meant to demonstrate how various abilities work and all show PlayStation controller prompts. Not a huge deal, but imagine if it had been the other way around and the console version got PC prompts. It would fail certification. You have to wonder if they ever tested the game on a PC above 60fps because there's no way testers would miss the jittering that occurs at higher frame rates.
Deathloop invasions also seem borked at the moment. Trying to invade just throws you in a loop connecting for several minutes. If you do happen to connect, it usually lags out. I have only been able to invade successfully, one time. I have never been invaded by anyone other than AI despite having online open.
Oh I know.... Played a little over 3 hours of it (a lot of it trying to troubleshoot the stutters/jitters). It was somewhat playable but the mouse movement was already getting on my nerves on some of the fights, even though I was liking the game in general.
I'm just trying to "be smart" and wait for some patches and/or workarounds, specially after seeing all the reports of crashes, so I don't spoil what I think can be a pretty great game.
But doing the sensible thing while you have game installed is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard
I've bough Ring Of Pain sometime ago but only played like once since I didn't really felt it. Probably because I was expecting a classic deckbuilder/card game.
I retried it yesterday and now it clicked, it's a nice game but it's easy from the previews to mistake it for a card game, it is not

Meanwhile I've started the first Pathfinder game. #pantientgamer 
I've only been playing for a month so the new patch seems OK for that timeline (even though it has completely broken balance with the new food system being garbage), but like... that was 8 months to their first "big" update? That's incredibly low output. I could have learned how to 3D-model and made most of this stuff solo in that time. It barely actually adds anything to the game besides, again, making combat more tedious. I am truly confused as to what they are actually doing, they released the game in a decent state and this is like a less than the infamously small Minecraft updates.Valheim's Hearth & Home update is live:
Steam :: Valheim :: Update: Hearth & Home arrives!

Anyone in here recommend the best bang for my buck 144mhz freesync monitor that isn't larger than 27" and isn't over 13lbs? Work situation may soon necessitate getting a new one and I think an upgrade alongside my existing Asus would be a plus. I've heard the Gigabyte M27Q and some LGs are probably good bets, but like to hear from you guys on this.
Monitors in question:
LG 24GN650-B 24” Ultragear
Gigabyte M27Q
May cross-post in the hardware thread as well, but this gets more eyeballs

Its only slightly over your limits (both in terms of weight and screen size), but have you considered the Gigabyte M28U? 4K 144hz + KVM for just a little more than the Gigabyte monitor you're already considering.
Got mine a few weeks ago and I'm very happy with it.
By the way that one devs seems to think that the Steam Deck is pretty cool and hopes that it results in more non-PC users picking one up and leading to them buying PC games which in turn will benefit PC game devs.
In Japan this may be possible since this will likely be sold in stores (but most likely they will be sold out most of the time especially if the base price is under $500USD, the price in Japan will roughly be $70-$120 more than the American price for each tier of the Steam Deck. The thing that the Steam Deck likely won't get is advertisment. There will be displays for it and demo booths at stores but that will likely be the most it gets.
Honestly if VTubers advertise the thing it could get a pretty decent word of mouth thing going for it. Especially for indie games that do have Japanese support but don't release on the N/S until maybe months to years later (yes there are N/S games that have Japanese support but that might not be available in Japan)
I mention that because getting non-PC people to pick one up would be somewhat of a challenge since Steam Is where you would need to order one of these and retail distribution likely would not happen until make later when Valve knows that they can likely ship 2-5 million units.

Yeah I've been catching some Deathloop streams to see if it's worth buying, and it's pretty impressive how stage designs are reused with puzzles with procedural answers that one actually have to pay effort for. Too bad single player content looks abysmal with godawful AI, and multiplayer is non-functional.
I'll look into it, but I'm working more for the limits on my monitor arms so that I don't need to upgrade that too
I’ve been thinking about starting it too!Meanwhile I've started the first Pathfinder game. #pantientgamer
Sad to see that Clive Sinclair has died. I never owned a Speccy, however I did have a Vic 20, Electron and then C64 as a kid. It was the whole Microcomputer period that helped my love of gaming and technology. I started gaming in the early 80s thanks to pioneers like him.
The Longest Dark is getting a Steam Deck.
And just cause I think I will mention those devs that are getting one.

I will wait for this update before continuing my playthru then. I only finished the tutorial but I do have a few stuff I can play before going back to it.
Oof. So, there were some people defending the new patch in Valheim and I was wondering if maybe, somehow, I completely missed or misunderstood the new system. But nope! It's just that bad. In the best case scenario, your max health/stamina COMBINED total is down 30-40% compared to last patch, but it's also now all one or the other if you go for that "highest" stat total. Added to that, higher-tier weapons (and tools!) take more stamina to use than lower tier ones, and more than they did last patch. Bows got an even bigger stamina nerf on top of that. Enemies did not get their stats changed at all. A couple of weaker weapons got damage bumps but no where near enough to compensate for the stamina costs.
Oh and that best-case food? Now requires additional supplies to make, and additional steps. And you're expected to carry stamina-spec and health-spec food on you, I guess, so even more inventory space is used up all the time. Combat and gather are both filled with "stand there waiting for stamina to regenerate" now, and are tedious as all hell (on top of the more tedious food system for less reward). Oh, AND shields are worse now than they were before even in their best case scenario.
For all that, after 7 months, we got some new walls/chairs and a couple not-even-current-end-game-tier weapons.
The game was NOT easy before, I had 30 deaths on a character I played co-op with my brother and I was the tank - best armor, best shield, best food, always parrying well, and I still just got mobbed sometimes or something bad happened and died or something or another. Now the game is harder, slower, more tedious, more grindy, and has literally no actual new content. After 7 months.
Even with all the positive review "bombing" because of a patch finally happening, the ratio of negative to positive reviews is pretty staggering. On the day itself it spiked to 1/7 of all reviews and so far on the day after it's 1/4. There were more negative reviews in the past two days than probably the past 4 months combined. That is NOT what you want to see from literally your first "major" patch in EA.

I play this game because it can be fairly laid back and the only difficulty spikes are usually new areas (struggling with the mountains at the moment).
But if they have hosted the difficulty (the changes to shield should horrible to me) then I may or it to test for a while and see if they go back on some of the changes.
The Long Dark developers getting Deck dev kit too.

I feel that it is going to be a new Shining game.
Seems to be a mobile game.
Also literally having a twitter and website called "Sega New RPG" is for some reason incredibly funny to me.
The teaser kinda has Tales of vibes to it, I think it could be a new Shining game. Plus it's been a while since the initial Shining Resonance release, it was originally released in 2014.
EDIT: Ah, just saw the comments in reply to the teaser, seems to be a project from Jun Matsunaga, main planner and director for Chain Chronicle, so it's likely a mobile game... (would be nice if it wasn't though)...
EDIT2: It's being reported as a mobile game by websites, meh, not interested in it then. xd

Yeah, ask yourself, SEGA.
They say it is for mobile at 1:00.
Played this on Apple Arcade, loved it, so charming and heartfelt
Query: How long can a 4€ chinese Fire Emblem knockoff be?
and I'm not even close to the end
it's actually a fun game and I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys this type of games but be aware it's hard, the translation is horrible and there are hidden items and mechanics that aren't explained anywhere.
This is one of the few games that stung when it went EGS exclusive. But was happy enough to wait for it. I am just waiting for a price now.
Yeah I'm loving what I have played, but wow it maxes out my CPU like no other game.
Also for some reason when I put on Vsync in game, it sets it to 74hz when it should be 60hz. i haven't figured out how to change that yet. Nothing on my desktop seems to be set at that amount.
@amzi
Amzin thekeats1999 I'll make sure to have some "Training" when i play Valheim next then. I don't play online so it won't impact anyone else.

I would probably go all in on the mods and trainers myself. But it is more a game with mates thing for me. So none of that unfortunately.@amzi

Do you have an nvidia card ? Wouldn't it be better to cap the fps of the game in the driver instead of using vsync ?Also for some reason when I put on Vsync in game, it sets it to 74hz when it should be 60hz. i haven't figured out how to change that yet.

Nvidia vsync extends load times by a lot in this game. But it might be something I have to do

Nope, normal 60hz monitor.
Lucky me it was only the drive shaft, waaay less expensiveYou called it! It seems my car's transmission just broke, if that's the case it'll be easily 3000€
fucking fucken FUCK
Still no money for Eastward, so I started Chrono Trigger > problem solved
Control Panel has an option to cap FPS without vsync I think
If the game loading speed is dependent on framerate (which it seems like if Vsync affects it) then external FPS capping will probably behave the same (regarding loading) as Vsync does.
