And what makes you think, things will improve in a generation or two? I think the NVIDIA master plan is eventually for everyone to use GeForce now, AMD will probably offer some kind of alternative to that with physical cards, but most likely they will continue being overpriced.


I bought it a couple of months ago and oh boy this game is amazing. The story is really well written. I am not much of a first person shooter guy but this game is definitely worth it. The story is great, the atmosphere is amazing, it is a really well made game and especially now with the overall international state of affairs and the rise of AI, its depressively dystopian story feels even more relatable and even the fighting is fun and versatile.


In Germany the official Gigabyte shop sells those for 1141€. This is completely nuts.


Like every year, they release cards NVIDIA - 50 and call it a day. But they should realize they are the underdog here and really need to more aggressively price their products if they want to gain any meaningful market share. And it doesn’t help that their prices are falling a lot faster compared to NVIDIA.


To be honest their gaming division could have been a lot bigger chunk if NVIDIA wasn’t so greedy with their VRAM, prices and disastrous launch of the 50th series with fake MSRP, very mediocre gains against last gen and even higher prices.


Give it a go again. I am playing it for the first time right now and this game is absolutely amazing. I heard they changed quite a lot of things in patch 2.0 and we are already at 2.21. Plus how many games are receiving support so long after release. Yes, their release was a dumpster fire, but they managed to fix most of their bugs and now the game is in really good shape.


Seriously, why so much hate for this game. The game at the moment is pretty good.

It looks gorgeous, has an awesome story and a fun and versatile combat system. I am not too much into first person shooting games, but I am playing it right now and I am hooked. I think this game is easily in my top 5 if not 3 games of all time.





Why not B580? I think they are still relatively reasonably priced and I think it will serve you better?


I have had this game for ages and only played a bit at the beginning. I like that it is very detailed and has a lot of historic context. I think the Devs spent a lot of time trying to make it really close to how things were looking back then. I am personally not a big fan of the story, which in my opinion is a bit dull and uninspiring, but I like the fact that you are first complete noob, that can die by pretty much everything in the game and you slowly build your skills and become more skilled.

There are also things I don’t like. The whole combat system is very clumsy, the unlocking doesn’t work with a controller and since I am playing it on a SD, I needed to install some auto cheat to be able to break into chests. Saving is also quite frustrating, at least at the beginning. Herbalism also doesn’t work too well and is clumsy. Overall I would say it is 7.5/10 game, definitely worth the try but not a must.



I am so tired of those click bait articles. Can’t they stop writing sensational titles like this and simply state the name of the game?


Honestly, I trust Steam user reviews more. So I will definitely wait to see what the reviews are there and then buy when it is discounted.


I am patiently waiting for Kingdom deliverance to get released and a couple of weeks or months to see what the reviews say about the state of the game. Then I will decide whether to buy it or not.

Another two games on my radar are RDR 1 and Indiana Jones, Pentiment and Slay the Princes but waiting for better discounts on those.


AMD is notorious for screwing their releases, they usually announce prices very close to NVIDIA, then reviewers give them subpar reviews and after a couple of months they start to lower the prices but it is usually too late and very few reviewers are updating their verdicts so people think they are still crap even though now the price is a lot more competitive making the whole package a bargain.

I don’t know why they do it that way, and I can only imagine that this hurts their brand and sales.



That’s finally some good news in the dGPU department. This GPU would have been terrific if it was released 1-2 years ago. I really hope they succeed and continue developing GPUs. We need so much a good competition to NVIDIA.


They fixed CP2077 and as a matter of fact the game is pretty good, plus they are a European company so we should support them.


I was hoping for Eskel or Letho to be honest. Ciri is a safe choice but a bit on the boring side. Eskel would have been a lot more multi-layered protagonist and dialogues would have been funnier.



Enjoy it, man. I hope you are happy with your purchase and serves you well for a long time time


Watch how NVIDIA releases plenty of GPUs with only 8 GB of VRAM next year for 300+ and claim that’s absolutely fine and the consumers should be happy. Same level of shenanigans like Apple insistence that 8 GB in their laptops were sufficient for ages.


Or simply they used an AI and set the tone in the prompt.


Not to mention that if you want to play it now, you need to cough up 99 bucks.

But yes, I trust Steam reviews more



That’s going to be an utter disgrace if NVIDIA again releases a 300+ card with only 8 Gb of VRAM. But I think Intel will compete more with AMD who aren’t so stingy on the VRAM.


NVIDIA being greedy is nothing new. Last gen, the only worthwhile card was 4090. The rest was simply overpriced crap. I don’t expect them to make any better next year, that’s because they have almost complete monopoly on the market. And that’s bad for everyone except their shareholders.


Mad Max, a really cool and chill game and a no brainer for 2 bucks.


And it would have been great if it was released 2 or even a year ago. Now it will have a hard time competing against the new generation that’s about to be released next year. I wish them luck though. We deserve healthy competition in this segment.



Witcher 3 and not so distant second Red Dead Redemption 2.


The story and the world are amazing. Combat is a bit clunky but not too bad.


Man, Witcher 3 is an amazing game and a lot of the secondary quests had a pretty alluring story. I read the books too, but the game is really great. Just the combat system is a bit tedious but apart from that the game world and the story was absolutely beautiful


With all due respect but no indie studio can create a game of this magnitude. I mean there is a lot of work put into it. Whether it was worth it is a completely different story though.


This works for PC but not for PS. PS games are highly optimised to target the current generation of consoles and there is very little initiative for developers to target a new console platform unless Sony sells tens of millions of those, which I very much doubt.


CMV but the PS5 Pro is a completely pointless release. The only reason I see is for Sony to try to justify the higher price tag on the PS6 once it releases.


I remember playing this game and was smitten by how good and ahead of time this game was. Sands of time was also very enjoyable but I didn’t play the new version.



The combat is actually pretty good, the graphics and style is amazing. The story is a bit on the meh side. Overall, I think this game is worth it at a discount. I think I bought it for something like 20€ on a disc with the DLC and am planning to resell it at some point.


Pixel 7 unstable network quality and loss of audio
My phone is losing regularly GSM network during calls and people are saying that they cannot hear me. Is there any fix of this? I have already tried to disable WiFi Calling, 5G, restart the phone, etc. but those problems persist. I wasn't able to find reliable information on the internet that could help. If someone is experiencing similar issues and found a fix, let me know. Alternatively, I can also install some other ROM, but I want to keep this as a last option. In this case feel free to recommend any good and stable ROMs.

Detroit: Become Human
This game was for some time in my watch list, but I have never pulled the plug, and oh boy, was I in for a treat. The game is very interesting depicting a dystopian future, where we are all headed, with an even bigger divide between rich and poor. A future completely driven by technological innovation for better or worse. The story gives you interesting perspectives from both the fortunate and less fortunate people and gives you an idea about their emotional struggles, thoughts, etc. The game is story driven and it is not competitive or fast paced. It is for those of you who enjoy the good story and to see the consequences of their actions or words. I really recommend it and I dread the day, I will reach the end the same way I dread the day I finish an extremely captivating book, as it will leave a small void in my soul.

Share your Tasker Automations
I am fairly new to Tasker and I would like to hear about your clever automations. My automations are mostly location, WiFi and time based ones. Additionally, I have the Google Play version of Tasker, which has some limitations about the Bluetooth, which are coming from the Play store policies. Do you think there are any security drawbacks if I install it over GitHub?

Games with Stories
Am I the only one who enjoys games that have engaging stories. Sometimes I even turn the difficulty down, so that I enjoy the story and not struggle so much. I mean challenging games can be fun sometimes, but nowadays I just feel that my life offers me enough struggles not to want another one while playing. For me games offer an escape of reality and I like them chill and casual but still with an engaging story.
