it’s true, 100% of the stuff I learn is in service of making a 10-year-old GeForce 980 run increasingly unstable, modded, and unholy builds of games. it’s not a matter of will it BSOD, just a matter of when do I not want it to BSOD
at this point the Very Computer are essentially artists, creating unique artifacts of computing feats that are reflective of their own passion. mad respect to yall frfr!
just installed Atomic Heart, so about to give that a go. Just finished Claire Obscure which was amazing and fucked me up. The Alters is pretty good, almost done with it. Eden Ring Nightreign was kind of a let down. Tried Echo and that was interesting. All these are games I’m just running on the old hardware to prove I can.
On the side I have long running Skyrim and Cyberpunk projects with the individual goals to make both of those games actually good.
Also Elden Ring and an emulator with Armored Core 4/5 and Bloodborne which I will never uninstall until I die
Got anything you’d recommend? I’m obviously a story-RPG slut
If you can do cRPG gameplay, Baldur’s Gate 3 goes without saying, but I would also like to point out Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2, very underrated imo like almost all Obsidian games
I’m convinced it was all due to cut content, feels like they tried to stitch together disparate parts of what used to be a coherent whole (see accessing a mansion through a guard tower and such…).
probably. I remember by the time they announced they were done working on it the game had already past open beta for like four years. I was actually one of the people who ordered the early draft copies so I’ve seen the story writing and dialogue take some wild rewrites, usually in response to player feedback. sometimes very minute details. part of me thinks there was just too much stuff to tie together at the end and they ran out of time but another part of me wouldn’t have been surprised if the devs were just tired and ready to move on.

Avowed does expand the world of PoE a little bit if that interests you. Its set several hundred years after the events of 2 though.
I DID love BG3. Could not get the FRS looking good on my setup but the game made up for it. I’ll look at Pillars for my next wizard game mood. 👍
Will add, prepare for a scatterbrained Third Act if you do pick up BG3. Acts I and II are ok, though.
agreed. act 3 was weird but it would be hard to tie all that together. I got through it and ended the game happy
