I want at least 5 games from this choice
Hmm. Just want endless space 2, already have valkyria 4. Not sure I need the rest very much...
Oh speaking of endless space 2, how is stellaris nowadays? I bought it when it released, had some fun but it was buggy at first where nothing would happen all game long. That apparently got fixed, but I found the game hard to keep track of mentally. Tried some DLCs, found it even more confusing.
So they announced yet another DLC, and I'm a few updates behind at this point, but is this game worth the time investment now? I want to like it, but I feel like it might be incredibly busy and confusing at this point.

Reason: the other endless space...

Nioh 2 is great so far. Was tried to be a basic bitch again and use the katana but the switchglaive and hatchets are a lot of fun so far. Thankfully also able to dodge the performance problems people seem to be having.
A few articles popped up about Steam China
www.pcgamer.com
www.ign.com
PC Gamer obtained articles which might infer that Steam China and Steam International will run concurrently for the time being, but the general consensus is Steam International will be blocked at some point in the future. There seems to be some confusion as to why Steam (and EGS and GOG) hasn't been blocked after so long any way.
Why Chinese developers are worried about Steam China launching next week
The Chinese-only version of Steam is coming soon, but the region's developers are divided on what this means.

Steam Finally Launches in China, But Concerns About Lost Games Arise - IGN
Steam's official launch in China prompts concerns about the fate of its unofficial client and all its games.

SkyDrift patch for 60 hz / 60 fps
For those interested, I made a patch to fix the horrible 30fps cap of SkyDrift. Here is the info to patch SkyDrift.exe. Offset: 000AB2B...

Well the patch is making animations be better at least when I move about. This is a pretty solid racing game, but if you susceptible to dizzyness and feeling nauseated then you should avoid it.
Visuals are nice but the game has a limited number of tracks (with mirrored versions), which is understandable for being a small indie game. All in all I am quite enjoying it and its campaign mode isn't very long. I will need to hunt down a 100% save file of sorts to unlock the last vehicle though since unlocking it is tied to playing races online =_=
Anyone know a good alternative for "The great Suspender"? It was sold previously to an unknown entity and then delisted by google because of malware.
I checked great discarder and Auto tab discard, but both have one big issue: The tab doesn't stay unloaded when you go into the tab or just look at the zab description, they even load the tab when the mouse just hovers over the tab.

Yeaah...
I use Auto Tab Discard because it was the closest thing I could find to the great suspender for firefox when I first found it on Chrome forever ago, I haven't found anything close to it yet but I'll give a shout out if I find anything
Silent's patch for Yakuza 3 and 4 is ready. Hopefully, this will fix the performance issues I was having.

Good bundle, but I have no wish to play Valkyria Chronicles 4 now (talk about another series that makes Ubisoft games look innovative) and I already completed Outward (highly recommended if you like Gothic-likes, more than rough around the edges, but one of the best RPGs with actual exploration and rewarding dungeons)...
I've just beat Spyro 2 from the Reignited Trilogy. I feel like the game starts on an amazing pace, but after some time it slowly gets worse. And the last world was actually pretty mediocre. The first world is a 10/10, second maybe 9/10 but the third is a 6/10 at max. I'll give it a solid 8/10 overall.
After playing the first world, I was starting to feel that maybe Spyro 2 would be better than the first, but in the end, Spyro 1 is the better game for me. A simpler, more straightforward experience, but excellent from start to finish.

I need a new controller, the left stick of my Xbox controller is drifting. My wife also complained about the noise of the buttons when playing action games. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better and more silent controller with Xbox layout?
The remake of Spyro 1 really made me appreciate it a lot. I like Spyro 2 still but I'd say...they're a tie for me.
It is indeed relatively quiet. But it has no analog triggers! Gyro can be nice though.
For PC only use I would almost suggest opening up the controller and swapping the face buttons to match XB layout. The mismatch can be a problem, in my experience. But perhaps it’s just me.
EA Play / Steam exploit that allows permanent access to some EA games for the price of a one month subscription to EA Play:
TLDW: Older EA games in the EA Play subscription on Steam come with cd keys (e.g. for multiplayer). These keys can be redeemed on Origin.

Are the buttons less noisy than the "normal" Xbox One controller? And does it work with the Windows 10 wireless adapter?
Edit: local web stores are full of negative user reviews for this controller because of frequent production errors: abxy buttons don't work well, analog stick drifting, trigger malfunctions etc. And that for a controller with a €180 price tag! Any other options?

Less noisy and also they are more stable. No issues on mine after over a year of intensive use.
Of course take a warranty with products like this. Mine is 3 years.
I'm sorry, I just use session manager when I absolutely have to use chrome. Stuff like this is why I stick to firefox-y browsers.
Valve, OpenBCI & Tobii to Launch VR Brain-computer Interface 'Galea' in Early 2022

I'm looking forward to the hardware survey results once this debuts.
Persona 5 Strikers is a good port and legit sequel, but demands a PC version of Persona 5
Sadly stuck at 60FPS and the missing Persona 5 Royal port is still the obvious elephant in the room

According to Queen P5 Royal is eventually coming to PC. Hopefully Atlus and Sega have not backtracked on that.
The question is when. Im not gonna buy a sequel to Persona 5 Royal until i have played it.
Taken together, they feel like a really nice expansion on the main story, in different directions, with the final one serving as a sort of prologue to the likely Alan Wake sequel.
So pretty damn good.
Region locked
EDIT: That's two middle fingers this week, Judgment Stadia moneyhat (no Steam until months in the future) and now Idolmaster region locked, seriously, what the hell I have done to Japan to deserve such punishments

Finally have my pc up and running again. What a fucking relief. Nothing could fix the black screen though, not even a system restore. Fortunately giving administrator privileges to my second account allowed me to retrieve all the files from the main account.
It's amazing how much went wrong before I was able to resume playing the games I was playing before my gpu died. From having to fix installations to random crashes (caused by GeForce experience of all things), the amount of hours spent searching the net for obscure fixes were endless.
The Surge 2 made me think that my "new" gpu was dying, turns out the game is just a fucking mess. Jesus Christ.
But the black screen is something else, I tried dozens of fixes. What a fucking nightmare. This week felt like a crash course in IT.
And because I had to spend money on a gpu, I can forget getting the Yakuza bundle anytime soon and I was really looking forward to it. Let alone P5S which is a full price release.

I'll side with you just this once. Idolmaster is shit.good ... keep the animu trash out
