Hi (and how's you? been a while since I logged on here due to chaotic times lol) I was thinking a Windows reinstall might be the next best step but tbh wanted to check first. Also, yeah... McAfee isn't the best option for the task but I've had free access to it for years (family account) I'll...

Hi all, So I'll try to keep this short while giving as much detail as I can. Also worth mentioning I'm not the most software savvy guy... can build a PC but any SW issues are a muddle through affair... but here's my issue and observations. I've had this PCS desktop since May '21 with no issues...

I shouldn't think so, at least not any more remote as other places I've lived. We're planning for in or around Midsomer Norton, where my gf hails from. Tbh this is more a move for her health and sanity as she wants to be around for her Nieces growing up and her family, who have been good to me...

Used to have Virgin up here in the village, and being with them since 2014 I ended up with a pretty good deal. But we moved in 2020, two miles away in town and had to go with BT as Virgin weren't available on that street for a few months (but a couple of streets over? Fine) Not a year later...

I did much the same. Got a good long lazy afternoon's worth of play in a year or two ago and haven't yet got back to it. Not a bad game, runs well etc etc, just kind of one dimensional maybe. Tbh it was The Old Blood that I actually didn't like. Really old school but in the mechanics, not the...

Nice bundle. Almost a shame I already have the latter four. Of course, I have yet to play/complete the latter three of those lol.

Must admit that at as low a price, it is a little tempting. BUT as much as I may be conditionally loathe to reward poor dev and optimisation etc, I also made a promise to forego it at least for now. My new years resolution was to clear some AAA backlog before any major and/or newer released...

Basically, 4070 vs 6900XT is 3080 vs 3090, more or less. More, I'll take the higher VRAM cap over maybe better RT that needs backing up with DLSS every time... especially if cheaper and given it's looking like more VRAM will be a necessity for more games far sooner than RT/DLSS will be...

Aye. Runs great for the looks but just didn't entirely click with me and it's hard to quite place why tbh. It's more a number of little things (and would probably sound overly fussy if I elaborated) than any major flaw though. Still, that it ran as well and had no bugs (for me anyway) first...

Fringe was great. I recall it was early 2014, me in the post LoveFilm (remember that?) doldrums and not clued into streaming nor having a great internet connection yet. I was out of sorts for a while, needed something to watch, something binge-y and boxset-y. Off I went to HMV with...

Nice pun but I won't take that as a spoiler. I have played Control for a long afternoon or so... but it was more a curiosity/teaser kind of thing as I was already well engaged in HZD at the time iirc. It was good even for that short time and I will definitely get back to it. I'm just (again)...

Same... and though I can't claim to match up to the RT showcase it indeed was (the only, though still minor, downside of choosing AMD) it's still just as much a showcase for good optimisation and dev skills without it. Honestly, it ran better than I thought it might, even with all the chaos...

Well met. Now I discover what sorcery turned one of my old comrades into a hermit many moons ago.

So, quick update on Atomic Heart. Fwiw I'm using Flawless Widescreen (+20 FOV) as suggested on Steam to get the full FOV capacity of my 21:9 ratio. Runs pretty great on my specs, no real issues of note over a good 2-3 hours. Slight stutter early on, intermittent over the course of a couple of...

Just got on the PC to discover Atomic Heart is on XBGP. Well, it's there and I have a month of sub left so may as well... Only Dead Space remake otherwise playing atm with CoH3 dropping tomorrow. Well, at least my new years resolution: 'try to stop stressing out over that 20 odd game backlog...

So, Warpips... (as mentioned before lol) On the one hand it's quite good fun in short bursts. On the other it's very hands off. I had originally (ignorantly perhaps) thought it might be a corridor RTS-lite type thing but your troops are AI controlled, will do their thing, and your job is to...

Perfect freebie for me. This is one I've had a look at a few times. I'll mention here later if it's a good 'un.

Just shows what can be done with either more time, greater resources/teamwork/communications etc etc. Sure, No Man's Sky was underwhelming at launch... a bit buggy (but not like some more recent bigger team/budget games I could mention) and failed it's promise. But I went back to try it after a...

Yeah... that was one of the reasons, looking at upgrading pros and cons in May 2021, that I opted for a 6800XT over a 3080 (10Gb) at the time. Even with the difference in type of VRAM, though the 3080 was faster the 6800XT had just a little more even when taking that into account. Up to then I'd...

Too soon/late for a 'badum-tsss'?
