    does anything game related wind you up.

    Hell yeah that's bad and sad, but you know what's worse? Certain IPs getting to someone who then butchers them so much it barely resembles the original. Yes, I am looking at you Todd, you liar! Corpos screwing devs, men in suits without any idea of gaming making baffling decisions, CEOs...

    The last game you completed

    Crown of Pain Little game that is dirty cheap and released recently. Simple match-3 gameplay with attacks from your party - those depends on equipped abilities and actual squad members. Nothing you haven't seen in titles like Gems of War of Puzzle Quest, but hey, the art is nice and it was good...

    What is this Strategy + RPG game from ~20 years ago?

    Ok, if that was turn based then I may have few other ideas :D Let's see... Clash - another Polish game that was supposed to rival Heroes of Might & Magic (yup, you can guess how well that went), but there wasn't any dungeon raiding. At least if my memory serves me. Etherlords? Doubtful, but...

    AMI Bios

    If I had to guess without seeing anything, some setting caused issues (thus BSOD) and BIOS reverted the changes or went to the default values and then it worked because, well, it's on default values. Check your configuration, if you had OC running, RAM profiles etc.

    What is this Strategy + RPG game from ~20 years ago?

    Assuming by Strategy you mean RTS and not turn based, as this is a pretty big difference and you'd probably mention it. Spellforce comes to mind as the first thing, but I think this would be the most obvious one. Knight Shift (also known as Polanie II) was mixing RTS with RPG elements, altho...

    April 2024 General Game Discussion Thread

    Sorry for late reply, I don't check this place as often as I used to. Best I just dig up my old post, that explains it my stance a bit more. Since then I haven't touched the game and frankly, I have no desire to come back at all. On the other hand, I feel quite peckish for some Fallout 2...

    April 2024 General Game Discussion Thread

    Pretty damn sure not, maybe it's detection is off for some reason. The Outer Worlds is one of those games, that the longer you play the more obvious the waste of potential becomes apparent. But hey, maybe you will like it more than I did.

    The last game you completed

    All in all, can't really recommend it. It's a solid 6/10 take on similar games like Battle Brothers, Wartales and with a tiny bit of Darkest Dungeon thrown in for good measure. Combat remains mostly the same, but since you level up your mercenaries and upgrade/unlock skills, there's some...

    Which game launcher are you only using because you have to?

    Epic'. I dislike them for many reasons and has been for years, bought something there once and had extreme difficulties to the point official distributor in Poland had to step in and help me 'cause their own system 'lost' a code for a game I bought through them. And they are hypocritical as...

    Question What is the best way to get a rare bug fix to players?

    Writing on game forums seems like a good idea + setting up a download (Google Drive, WeTransfer, whatever) with instructions and a disclaimer that you "make it available as is and you're not responsible for anything". But this kinda depends on one thing: if they have CM browsing threads or...

    Esports spectatorship survey for a master thesis

    Replied, 'cause why not. If data from some old boomer watching/following only Starcraft 2 matters, then you have it. ;)

    Nobody watched Arsenal's game from yesterday? Was quite entertaining!

    Do you play games portably or are you a desktop gamer only?

    Definitely a desktop/homebody aka desk potato and has been since the 90's, even since the times of having my first very own PC and no money at all. Now I could afford Steamdeck or something else and I've used Switch due to work for a while, but.... why change big multimonitor screen setup for...

    February 2024 General Gaming Discussion Thread

    I've started Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Decided enough time have passed since I played the previous entry to the franchise and I hunger for this kind of gameplay now. Still early on, but the production value is on point. You can smell the $ burning in the background. ;) Also, decided to check...

    A game you wanted to like but you just couldn't?

    Dragon's Dogma. Wanted to like it, but the "consolization" put me off. There were certain elements so clearly designed for consoles/gamepad, that I just couldn't be bothered. Dragon Age: Inquisition Another example quite similar to the one above, but this one was treating me like a dumb bucket...
