I hope it goes well, but I’ve not had a great time with the Lenovo Legion phone, the hardware is great but the software is so bad, there is alot of crashes, it bricked itself a few times (boot loop), the fans turn on and off when the phone is idle, loads of bloatware, and an auto detection for “game apps” that tags basically everything but games, and no way to override it.

I was in a rush but here’s a graph of me while flying around the city in a drone, so pretty high impact, I did idle a little bit though


When did they do this segment? There was a memory leak issue that caused some crashes and FPS drops on the first day for me, though I’m not sure that is the same problem as console because the game would run fine for about an hour then start to lose FPS until eventually crashing. It was patched the day after, since then I’ve had no issues.

Tbh I’m honestly not really bothered about the Mindseye side, but I’m pretty excited for the Everywhere side, never really cared much for single player shooters, I just hope the bad reviews doesn’t dissuade BARB from following through with enabling Everywhere’s full feature set within Mindseye.


? Did you play either of them because it sounds like you haven’t and are claiming things you know nothing about. I was lucky enough to play Everywhere and I have been playing Mindseye (almost completed the story)

Everywhere is in Mindseye, once you get to a certain point you can enter “build mode” which is what Everywhere was. You are able to build either in the open world of Mindseye or go into empty “Arks” (worlds) and build from scratch.


Yeah I looked at what it was like on console and it isn’t great, though it runs pretty perfectly for my pc (4070).

It even runs on the steamdeck (on lowest settings) I played it for 3 hours in bed without any issues.

Though it is no way near in alpha. I feel like alot of people have not played it and are shitting on it just because everyone else is.


I’ve been playing it, I’m around 60% through the story, I wouldn’t say this is the worst game of 2025, not by a long shot, maybe people were just expecting it to be a GTA clone, when it’s more like a single player linear story.

The only issue I have with it is it is all very quick paced, you get a new job and like a day later you’re gunning down hundreds of goons.

After awhile you get access to a ‘build mode’ that allows you to build stuff using provided assets in the world, eg you wanna build a house on top of a skyscraper you can.

The build mode also includes logic nodes for doing gameplay scripting.

All in all I think people enjoy feeling apart of something, and apparently everyone has decided to hate on this game because of “reasons”?


I didn’t play Concord, but from my experience of the first 2 or 3 hours is that starts as mostly a movie, you are just watching what is happening in the cutscene, you gotta pay attention cause it moves pretty fast through the story, occasionally killing, racing, minigame in-between the cutscenes.

You eventually get access to build mode that lets you build anything in the world, they have logic nodes for doing gameplay scripting and alot of assets to use, though I only played it with for a few minutes, it takes awhile to get to it in the story I think.

it looks like there’s plans for a sort of UGC shared multiplayer type deal, but it’s listed as single player so idk


Ah true, I’ve just accepted it as the norm, if I have issues with a game, I’ll either refund or wait for a patch to fix it then play it.

The patch they did today seems to have fixed the crash I was having


Yeah I’m waiting for a fix before playing it, crashed 4 times in the first hour, but I really enjoyed the game itself, I’m not sure why it’s getting so much hate.



Ah! I have never played or developed on it, so I had no idea it was that bad.

I feel like Fortnite Creative would probably just be more of that, though I believe they fund some of the Creative Devs with sales from Fortnite itself, not sure how much monetisation is there either tho.


One factor I thought might be at play is now that Fortnite Creative is established, the Roblox players that are aging are given a new UGC platform to move to.

I know Roblox has players of all ages, but I feel like alot would feel like they have “out grown” Roblox and want to find something new




Probably back on dota1 before matchmaking and meta and all that crap, you could play any hero in any role on any lane and everyone was mostly just having fun


How does it do on older games, I heard from unreliable sources that the intel GPUs are very hit and miss if you only play old games


Aha, do you play with mods? Can make restarting more interesting by mixing it up a bit


How far you into Satisfactory? We just got our turbo fuel powerplant at about 30% capacity, enough for Ficsmas!


You can take an image and provide a source link, I don’t get why I gotta interact with twitter itself for images on a news site.

I know they are probably shortcuts to cut costs but it’s still annoying, they pay twitter for those links




My bro and I have been playing modded Satisfactory, this is probably gonna be my main game for the next year! We been on since 1.0 release and still have so much to do!


Satisfactory isn’t massively multiplayer but it is coop up to 4 players, been enjoying it with my brother since 1.0 release


Well OP does say the price increase ranges from 20% to 50%

In other currencies the price change is over 50%, for example Euro price going from 8 to 12.50


There are other currencies in the world.

Euro is going from 8 to 12.5, which is higher than 50%


No, not sure if other industries do this, but buying a game in a weak currency usually turns out cheaper (by alot) because Devs will usually offer the game for a lower price in the weaker economy


Out of curiosity, which engine would you say is your favourite? If Bethesda were going to start using a new engine tomorrow, which engine would you hope they would use?


A misplaced mesh, missing quest dialogue, or invalid NPC navmesh is not an engine issue and is specific to each individual game, these things can’t be fixed in the engine


I was under the impression that 99.99% of fixes in the unofficial patches were gameplay related things, not underlying issues with the engine.

I also feel like if every game had the player count and mod support of Bethesda games, they would all have unofficial patches. No game is perfect and bug free, I know Bethesda games are buggier than most, but they are also way more ambitious and have way more content than most (I’m talking pre-starfield here, I haven’t gone back to starfield like I still go back to fallout and elder scrolls)


I think their games are great. And I think the Creation Engine is great, the amount of immersion I get and amount of hours I spend playing fallout, oblivion, Skyrim, morrowind is second to none. The mod support is endless, they were in a league of their own when it came to RPGs

Granted they have slipped a little (okay alot) lately but that doesn’t take away from their past works.


That’s the story for 99% of non-indie games (and some indie games, but they somewhat less likely to monetize the shit out of it)

Hmm yes that sounds like a flawless system that is totally fair and equal to what Valve did…

Sony offloaded the job to a 3rd party and that was that, didn’t care about it after that


Waiting list system the same Valve did? Registrations with 1 unit per person? Idk literally anything other than ignoring the problem?


The shortage only started to lessen in 2023, while the steamdeck released in 2022.

Also Valve delayed the release of the steamdeck due to the shortages.


You make it sound like Sony couldn’t do anything about it, that it’s just a normal thing we should expect now.

Funny that Valve managed to release the steamdeck without this problem.

Sony just didn’t care


Searching for “e foundation” gives only 2 results on duckduckgo, sus


I figured it was probably around 12 years, since the first teaser trailer came out 11 years ago, add afew years for the work they needed to do to even be ready to do a trailer (world lore, characters, etc)


Cyberpunk was in development for atleast 12 years, I agree that corporate needs to be hands off when it comes to things like that, but at what point is there a line drawn and you just have to publish what you have got.




Best GPU for under £600?
I'm looking for a new GPU, finally upgrading my 1060 12gb. I have a £600 budget, would like it to be fairly modern and atleast 12gb vram, anything over 128 bitrate too. Let me know your current GPU if it meets specs, and what your opinion of it is! I've been considering the Intel Arc A770 but a bit nervous about the drivers
