Death Stranding with horses is what came to mind for me too so I’m very interested in this one.

Fable 2

I’m a few hours in and its a real throwback to 2009 or whenever as I haven’t played it since launch. It feels very familiar but I don’t really remember much about the game. Once thing to note is that after playing Fable Anniversary, Fable 2 definitely has a vibe of being brightly coloured world but often times quite bland with nothing to show in the open world.

Lots of short and random sessions on my handheld. Colin McRae 2.0, PSO, WWE No Mercy and many more. Dreamcast isn’t really viable but some games can be playable with some tweaking but It’s great for PSX and below though. I set up syncthing to backup saves and screenshots so I can easily access them on my PC too :)

I’m not one to 100℅ anything but that’s impressive as combat is quite janky an tedious at times.

Holding on to stuff longer isn’t necessarily a bad thing as the pc market was in a very wasteful state before all this. Still sucks though they way things have become :(

Yes but it’s likely going to be a 5600g and no dedicated GPU at that price point.

edit: 5600g + cooler, Asus a520, 16gb 3200 ddr4, 1tb m.2, 500w psu and case for £400 over here which isn’t far off the target. Entry level at best but it’s all upgradable which is the point.

Shits gonna suck when even this option dissapears :(

I would start by adding a couple more indexers but don’t go overboard. 3 or 4 should be good and then swap them out as needed. Also something to note is make sure you aren’t just “hit n run” on everything and seed properly.

Appreciate it. A quick test and all seems to be working properly now :)

I read most of the article and I’m inclined to agree with what they say. The title does read as clickbait though but it’s just their statement so please read it for yourselves.

Man I do miss lightgun games. Die Hard Trilogy and Confidential Mission were my favourites at home but Time Crisis, and the 2nd game with co-op, was the perfect arcade game.

Fable Anniversary

I haven’t played much this past week but did finish up the main story and now I’m almost done with the extended storyline in the Northern Wastes area. Also found the Darkwood Bordello quest and did a couple more demon doors/silver keys.

I think one more session and I’m done so looking forward to starting Fable 2 straight after.

edit: completed it this evening :)

That’s a fair point. I feel that PC gaming was in a peak of consumerism with ridiculous prices and never ending “upgrades” so it’ll be interesting to see if anything changes. I hope it does and some of that knowledge/skill and enthusiasm for optimisation comes back.

I still have Skate 3 installed on my Xbox for those times when I just want to chill for an hour. It makes me a little sad when I see what its become nowadays…

from September '27 to August '27… big whoop…

To be fair I really enjoyed the first movie, but I still won’t care unless it’s a couple months until release.

This has been my default for a couple years now. Qwant search is ok at best but I mainly use it because I wanted an EU alternative with some privacy. As for Vivaldi I think its great, and especially with an OISD list with the built in blocker.

It also happens if I’m part way through writing a comment, switch tabs, and when I switch back over what I typed out is lost and the “cross server content” page is there. It’s annoying :(

Those “online pass” days were grim. Xbox Live gold sub and I need an online pass to play BF3!

I agree that streaming is fine but it’s probably a stigma from the “straight to DVD” days.

I’d say the easiest/quickest way to start is on a console with a headset and using your phone to manage the stream. Just sit down, launch a game and start chatting to yourself. If you have a console that is?

PC isn’t exactly difficult but you’ll need to set up and use something like OBS.

I think making and keeping it a hobby you enjoy is the key to success. Don’t burden yourself with thinking you have to be popular and just play what you want and when you want.

Fable Anniversary

I think I’m in the end game now. I was going to go through and find all the collectables first (silver keys, dolls, demon doors etc) but I think I’ll just finish the story and move on to Fable II.

Forza Motorsport 4

Picked it up a couple days ago and played a few hours already. It’s just as fun as I remember but a shame the 360 doesn’t have online functions anymore for the “rivals” stuff. It still looks really good and makes you realise why the console lasted for so long.

I appreciate being able to use Photon here :)
