Checkmate! I don’t even have 180 mbps internet lane. Deal with it Microsoft!

I had a good fun with Bulletstorm. Kind of a game where you can put your brain on hold and enjoy the ride.

Isn’t Falkon pretty much dead?

Well, technically yes, but not under Tencent. These guys will squeeze Ubisofts balls even harder than shareholders do. All stuff that went under Tencent got worse or at least that’s what I remember.

Well, Ubi is piece of shit nowadays, so it wouldn’t be such a loss in this regard. But hell, no more monopoly pls, tencent is huge enough already…

Intel finds cause of overheating CPUs… it’s crappy design!

Good game, yes. Concord was not one of those. It was mediocre, nothing special, definitely not a game people would pay 40 for.

That’s the thing. They sell it due to marketing. Concord had virtually no marketing whatsoever.

So Sony came up with $40 game that failed to be as good and enjoying as mediocre f2p ones, supported it with zero marketing and expected profits somehow. Genius.

I still think the games biggest failure was it being paid (and not cheap) while there is plenty of F2P competitors that aren’t any worse. Why on Earth would anyone pay for mediocre online shooter just to try it out when you can instantly play dozen similar ones for free?

As a shareholder I would be pretty hard against this kind of shit that do nothing positive but hurts PC sales.

No wonder. Why should I need some shitty sony account on PC? I never asked for it, nobody ever asked for it.

It’s pretty good for what it is. I finished it once years ago. Tried it again last year, got almost to the end and somehow lost interest. Still have it on my drive, so I might actually finish it.

I started old gem Arx Fatalis. I tried to chew through it during last two decades, but I always failed. Not because of the game itself, because it is indeed very cool. This time I believe I will emerge victorious!

I have two problems with this.

1. I consider Razer the most over-hyped and over-priced peripheral producer. The products I’ve seen were not bad, but did cost at least twice as much as their feel suggested. I don’t want to support this.
2. Tilt-wheel. Every mouse I’ve held that had tilt wheel was PITA in the long run. I probably grip the mouse wrong, but I very often tilted the wheel instead pressing the button.

Soldering should be fine, this will probably end up as long winter evening project at some point. Was it possible to re-use gliders after dismembering the mouse?

Swelling problem won’t be fixed as easy. The material of the wheel just expanded, the rubber is twice as big as new one to the point it can’t fit in its hole in the mouse. Internet is full of the same problems, it was either defective batch or it reacts with some specific agent in some people’s sweat. Never the less, the only way is to replace the whole wheel. Need to find out which of my friends have a 3D printer…

I loved watching my friend playing it, but I couldn’t play it myself. First I had terrible PC back then, second even if I had decent one, this gameplay loop is too stresfull for my nerves somehow.

Slavery is ok, because negroes are not people.

Holocaust is cool, because Jews are not people.

Killing children is fine, because Ukrainians* are not people.

*everyone who’s not Russian

Well, technically yes, but why pay even a couple quids when I already have purchased the game on PC? Of course there’s this “To support the dev!” but honestly… How much he’s going to make from such a purchase after all?

This is why I find Steam Deck the most tempting handheld console, because it can play (almost) all the games I’ve purchased over last decade on both Steam and GOG. I’m no Nintendo fanboy so I can happily live without Mario or Zelda.

Exactly. Not only the games are still (even after many years) very expensive with not that much “steam sale” level of discounts or various humble/fanatical bundles, it’s Nintendo’s behavior that is the most off putting part in the equation.

Ha, I have no friends so couch co-op is out of the question… /s
