The top 2 global, one if from a company who are dipping their toes on the PC market and the other one left Steam for many years. Huh.
Yup, quite interesting, huh?

I must inform you that my review for Nier Replicant is being written at this very moment and I'm wondering if it will be one of my best reviews or just an average one :blobmorning:
I reviewed it too! What did you think of it? I'll also be writing a Days Gone review, I believe it is the first Playstation Studios game I have ever played.

That being said, let me share with you my latest lovely interaction with Windows 10.

Fishing the legendary fish in Nier (no luck, fortunately).
Big CTD.
Game is still playing sound but can’t switch back to it.
Force close game, relaunch it.
My monitor then throws a fit because NO DISPLAY.
Restart computer.
Windows welcomes me with the sort of browser setting menu it usually presents after an update.

Well ok, I hate you already Windows, no need to keep trying thaaaaaat hard.

I absolutely loved it (in fact I did the 100% in route A) so it will be quite something hehe :cat-heart-blob:

I don't know how I played ME1 before without a keybind for fly and teleport to quickly traverse the various planet environments

My new mouse gets here today. I was expecting it in a week, so that's a happy surprise. Elite Odyssey also drops this evening, and while I'm not buying it because screw that price point and content, I hope it will have more meat to it than I expect.

If all else fails, Biomutant.

Jeez, the release trailer on Space Oddity. I’m no space buff but this is tempting.
Then I remember that I would have to, gasp, learn the controls and yeah, price point.

Still, kinda exciting.

I somewhat need to find a new mousepad, but with armwrist rest, but there are so few of them, why? Don't people have armwrist rests on their mousepads these days? Mine is probably 12 years old or so because I have problems finding mousepad with armwrist rest.

Mine is 12 year old because I keep trying to nurture new life forms. For science. Or sex.
...
I should buy a mousepad :neutral-face:

Although I'm a total animal and don't normally use a mousepad, I still have an original Amiga one that I use when I need to use the mouse left handed. I play racing games in a racing seat thingy I built which only has space on the left for a mouse.

I'd like a new mouse mat that's interesting but any mouse mat that isn't 2mm thick and jet black annoys me now. I've been spoiled by the logitec mat i got last year for my failed attempt to use a G503? ( or something like that ) Turns out that although i have small hands i need a chunky mouse so i'm stuck with my Corsair Ironclaw until i find another mouse of similar size that i like.

I have many mice that i haven't got along with, i think i use a strange palm grip. Ideally someone needs to make a Shark-Fin mouse for gaming like my Anker i use for work. It's saved my health and fended off RSI for the last 10 years, so it's winner in my book.

It's my birthday soon, i get the feeling i'm going on a mouse hunt.

Ok, just put my royal behind on the PC chair and already interested in Elite (5e), Elite DLC (22e) and Dorfromantik (8e).
Still haven't been able to buy RE8.

I have issues :anguished-face:

I strongly, strongly advise against buying anything expensive related to Elite unless you truly know for yourself that you like the game. There's a metric crapton to learn and figured out with the base game+horizons which you can get for really cheap to help give you a better idea of what you are into. Odyssey actually doesn't have all that much in the way of playable content from what I have gathered, which is why despite my enthusiasm for space legs (partial at least) I'm not paying through the nose for a graphical update that will trickle down this fall.

Doesn't Odyssey include fps and planetary exploration ?
Just curious as you are on point about the need to try the base game for cheap before doing anything more :photoblobheart:

Odyssey includes :
  • Stepping out of your ship and exploring small station social areas in which you can pick up contracts and gear up for FPS activities
  • Stepping out of your ship onto planets and engaging in activities there, namely either missions related to bases or scientific scanning of flora
  • A graphical update in the planetary rendering and generation with better height maps and the addition of light atmospheres. Ship lighting and shading has also been improved
The latter is going to trickle down to Horizon owners either when consoles get Odyssey or at some earlier point. I'm fuzzy on that one. Overall, I feel like Odyssey is going to be its own grind for engineering materials to upgrade your suit with the same kind of issue the base game has, which is that you need to make your own fun. At a lower price point I'd be okay with it but at anything above 20 bucks, let alone 40, it's way too much for what's there.

There's also the fact that the alpha performed abysmally, and I'm quite worried about how hot the expansion is coming out of the oven. It won't have a beta phase (meaning, release is the beta) and Frontier has clearly been pushing it out early to satisfy shareholders from the looks of it.

It's a good step for Elite but I think it's priced too high and released too early, hence why I'm not buying it.

Swenhir Should I play solo or multi ? I suppose multi is the way to go ? But won't I be roller over every time I transport some cargo ?

It's complicated, basically play multi in the starting areas but as soon as you are ready to get out of the training area, go solo for a little bit if only to make sure that you won't be ganked by assholes with nothing better to do. Those systems right next to the newbie area tend to be camped a little bit. In general, open is fine unless you are going to heavily populated areas like engineers, Farseer in particular.

I'm personally playing in a private group at all times, and I believe there's an even larger public group if you are interested.

Summer Game Fest 2021 lineup has been announced


Playstation will be there, alongside SEGA, Activision, Amazon Games, Epic Games, Blizzard, and other known figures
At least when it comes to Steam I'm pretty sure it means the usual thematic event on the platform, Epic might be reel or just the event too and Playstation will probably be sale too.

Looks like it can still get a higher peak. I wonder if it'll contiue growing until the weekend or there's little extra growth.
