hmmm yet another game getting a coat of paint (presumably thought ai) and resold higher then the initial cost of the game.

stop listening to retailers and listen to consumers… fuksakes…

maybe you should pay more, or buy the game again.

you’re literally causing your own issues by supporting these twats year after year.

getting it once and not pushing back, means you’ll get it twice… then three times… then anytime you boot. then anytime you load a game, then while you’re playing a game.

you’re being raped and justifying it because ‘it could be worse’

like you said, something you paid for should not show ads, yet it is…

who cares… it’ll always end up with more and more and more. stop giving any justification to companies for this bullshit. don’t even question it anymore, one ad is more then enough to throw the thing in the trash and never consider them a source of entertainment ever again.

well I don’t… it’s never a deal, and I’m usually forced to buy more and spend more in order to get that ‘deal’

haven’t played or cared about these titles in years, and never will again. all dead trash

people are stupid for even getting the subscription in the first place.

anything that claims to be AAA, or is made by a giant lifeless shit corporation

good, let them fail more.

who gives a damn what they think or want.

I personally don’t care that huge companies that make bland boring flash stuff every year get thrown around to even crappier companies. I never bought their games, and will continue to not buy them. when I hear these games move to another company, I’ll assume they are just as crap and avoid them too.

is this the remake, or did they remake the remake…what a crappy company tendo and square is these days.

or the DQ builder games so they don’t suck…love the concept but holy crap are the controls horrible to the point that I can’t play it.

never my car…

done. I’ll forget 3 exists and continue to ignore that 4 exists. also included is 1 and 2

with wow, there’s TOO MUCH. it’s honestly overwhelming to a new player, or someone that is returning after missing 1 or 2 xpacs.

half the stuff in bags are useless and must be discarded, or it’s just deleted and gold is given. sure, that’s fine.

roll a new toon. more then half the main map is level 1-30 and rendered 'why bother going there’s once you hit lvl 30.

wow is just X-Pac crunch on xpac crunch on xpac crunch. it’s overwhelming. there’s a lot more too it, but that’s the main thing really.

what I feel would ‘fix’ wow, is wow 2.0…rebuild everything from scratch and build all systems properly, not layering them on-top of preexisting. the whole game needs a crunch and rerelease.

just tells me they didn’t sell enough wow subscriptions and instead of blaming their overly complex too many things to do game that’s constantly changing, and instead blaming people who are making it fun again.

not my problem…these aren’t games worth spending a dime on.

I honestly don’t think any of this matters anymore. SSD in general is just good for gaming

I haven’t even ‘upgraded’ from Sata SSD to nvme because…why bother. computer already boots within 5 seconds, it doesn’t need to boot in 1. all games perform flawless. this is just mix/maxing at this point and honestly nobody would notice a gaming difference between 550mb/sec vs 3000mb/sec

statements mean nothing…prove it. I don’t listen to anything any company says, they only lie.

produce non trash, and make it affordable or else I’ll continue to just ignore they exist.

I have money for games…but NONE of it is going to any company that makes me scream AAAAA…or when they charge 40+ for a game. screw em.

even their 100$ trash at 95% off…hell no. that’s even worse cause you know the game is extra shit.

all my money goes directly to Indy devs. games are actually fun, made with passion and they don’t try to screw me every chance they get. I stopped with big title garbage like 6-7 years ago. never going back.

this mentality even applies to all my shopping. I don’t buy crap anymore and I wish more people would do the same.

still not worth it…

imo you shouldn’t give them money until they stop treating you like garbage. 3 new games where they don’t treat you like crap should be the minimum to even consider them a potential gaming company.

I refuse to even humor those companies anymore. overpriced garbage. Indi devs all day. I have more fun, I actually finish games and I acquire more because they cost so much less

better to just turn the game off, refund it if you can and never buy their crap again.

then don’t say shit if you aren’t able to promise it…stupid cfo

they should be on a cycle, not all companies are. it’s very common to see a lot of smaller ones not do this

all those laptops are probably also pre 8th gen processors.

companies dumped them all because Microsoft promotes ewaste be forcing windows11 horse shit which requires Intel 8th gen +

PROPER decommissioning for devices is to remove the drives.

you’re getting Microsoft’s forced ewaste

lol they can do whatever the hell they want. I will never buy a $60 game, let alone 80+

they can all get fucked. i only buy Indy dev games now in the proce range of $1 to 45$ at the most. I typically stick around the 30$ range and have had way more enjoyment, I complete these games and want to revisit them.

I cannot say I have fun with AAAA crap. it’s all junk

yup. I refuse to buy games 95% off in the $5 bin. I instantly assume the game is made by some garbage trash company that doesn’t care. I’d rather pay $30 knowing the developer isn’t shit

also, claim AI downloaded it because it’s legal for AI to pirate anything and everything

prevent access to online services…that’s all they should be allowed to do. I don’t think I’d be able hold back on any company that decided what I do with MY hardware.

assassin’s Creed is like beating a dead horse

rainbow six is trash unless you live in the game and memorize all the 2 pixel wide gaps to shoot from…that’s far from fun.

far cry stopped being enjoying after 3.

then pay for the service, or disable it when you want to access local? I dunno what else to say honestly.

ok Google; How to enable split tunneling in Proton VPN

Split tunneling is a feature that allows you to route some of your internet traffic through a VPN while letting the rest use your normal internet connection.

don’t matter to me. procedurally generated, AI generated, hand curated. it’s all the same imo.

is the game itself fun? is the story good? are the game mechanics fun? that’s what matters to me more then how the level gets built. granted you don’t wanna see copy/paste nonstop, that would be kinda annoying but still goes back to the game as a whole…is it fun

take Morgenstern for example, they do it. levels are kinda bleh, but I’m not there for the level specifically, I’m there for the gameplay, monsters and the loot!

Umm, yes? Why would I buy new everything just because the graphics is the bottleneck. I’ve gone from 1060, to 1080ti sc, to 5070 ti. Unless I misunderstand what you mean by ‘the same computer’

I was looking at ddu the other day and was going to remove the drivers then reinstall fresh. Didn’t even know it existed. My issues most likely stem from going from GTX to RTX.

I have very low hopes that it will resolve the green HDR tint tho…that seems more like windows being garbage then anything.

No I’m really not. The HDR being on is absolutely horrid and the blacks are all green. Disabling HDR reduces it, but it’s still visible with a green tint. 100% an issue surrounding HDR though and only affects the blacks on my monitor.

The crashes I narrowed down to DX12. Running everything I’m dx11, zero issues and crashes go away instantly. Tbh it might be a conflict with the 10 series drivers and I didn’t run any removal tools. I will be doing this shortly and starting drivers from scratch as a test. Nothing overclocked.

Is that before, or after all the deportations
