I get the first point. I want to upgrade but I don’t need too lol But with second point. I’ve only ever bought second hand GPU’s and never had an issue. You can tell the condition of the card by looking at it or if someone is a smoker (you can smell it just by holding it) CPU’s I buy second hand and also RAM if it can be proven to pass tests. SSD and HDD also too if tests can be proven. Rest I always buy new.

Have you considered the second hand market?

With patience you can find a bargain. I bought my 3080 3 years ago, like new for $900 with invoice when it was $1300+ brand new.

I have multiple children, work full time, go to gym and still find time for gaming everyday. It’s certainly do-able!

Fear please! And thank you!!

Dual guns, some zip line thing from Just Cause, some electric tazer shock shooter thing and big boobs.

I win anyway

Gives me Dark Messiah vibes. I like.

FC is nothing like Just Cause. Totally different games bro.

What creative control?

Just Cause in first person view would be absolutely wild.

Yeah I don’t think I’m going to worry about the app installation now. I’ll look into why the config file didn’t work. All I changed was my VPN login credentials.

I spent 2 hours trying to work it out last night lol Eventually tried the method of downloading PIA config file and adding new VPN connection in settings and even that didn’t work. It was stuck on need authorisation when connecting. I got tired and gave up, I’ll go back to it again haha

I don’t have much of a choice. I don’t have another system to work on and I’m not ready for Linux to be daily driver yet. I’ve installed on a separate SSD.

Edit: Sorry, I just saw and remembered what I wrote originally lol nevermind… I will keep that in mind going forward. Thanks.

Thanks mate. I’m very new to Linux and still have the 101’s to learn. I’m going to see if I can find a CLI cheat sheet somewhere to memorise 😜 Oh and it was a run file that I downloaded for the VPN.

I’ve installed Bazzite myself. What do you mean by immutable? I ran into an issue trying to install VPN the other night. Something about the fs being read only. I’m still yet to look into it.

I’m trying to get into Linux atm. Working at the kinks and work flow. I will dual boot for the exception that I really want to play that doesn’t run on Linux.

Needs Xbox Bazzite Edition

Ubisoft, Activision, EA execs: what the fuck?

Loved G-police and certainly would love to try this.

Capitalistic enshitification strikes again

Some people may like that but I care not for an animated series. I want a new game.

Hey Ubi, Tencent, whoever.

Splinter fucking Cell.

I’ve replayed recently. It’s still fun 😊 But I have to admit, it’s best on a CRT monitor. Don’t try to modernise the experience.

I remember being so excited for 64bit Far Cry. Had no idea what it meant. But I was excited!

I got a VR headset a few months ago, tried a few games that I really enjoyed but nothing stuck apart from my beloved flight sim 2024. But this sounds like fun.

I’ve been playing Dying Light 2 after seeing some gameplay videos for the new one coming out this week. It made me think, I never finished that as I did buy it at or close to launch but got bored after 50hrs or so. But I think they’ve done a lot of updates on the combat and movement since release because the game feels so much better, I’m having a blast!

My bro’s gaming on a freakin Jumbotron

You’d think since 2005 they’d be experienced enough to know how to work with UE but noooo…

No wonder you couldn’t play it. 19080p, mother of God!

I briefly watched Jackfrags video on it. The graphics aren’t even anything special, the world isn’t overly populated and I can’t imagine there would be any overly complex calculations running in the background and it performs like shit.

Fuck these fucks.

Hi Alienware here, thx

Chips Challenge

Better get your day job back

Excellent news.

The dismemberment was somewhat pioneering in its day. I remember SOF 2 as one of the first FPS’s to have foliage in its level design. The gunplay and audio was also great for its time. Other notables I remember were Hexen, Heretic and the Jedi outcast / Jedi Academy games.

I have such a soft spot for Raven. I really wish they could break free and make great games again.

Digital for the last 20 years.

If it has a demo like old school days, then I’d try that. If hard to pirate, but it really seems like something I’d enjoy and has mostly favourable reviews then I buy it.

It’s really hard to be excited because of Ubi.

They’ll market it as some hardcore, gritty milsim but yet still feels so arcadey to appeal to the masses.

I get it, more mass appeal = more money =soul lost.

If I’m interested in a game, I usually download a repack to try it out and if I like it, I’ll buy it.
