    Question What build are you? Really though.

    I usually play as a rogue/stealth character, although in real life i could'nt sneak up on a sandwich. I enjoy being a chaotic neutral, but as in real life i gravitate towards good. When building a character in game I play all races. I usually stay away from orc's and bigger characters as they...

    PCGamer.com website increased CPU usage

    Tested the link on my work PC and the results were the same as on my home computer; no high cpu usage.

    Question Mid-Week Question: If your eyes had a HUD, what info would you want it to display?

    Definitely nametags on everyone I talk to, as I never can remember names. My phone is filled to the brim with work related people like: mullet, electrician and chipper fellow at gas station. Also a list of "last missions" which in reality would be; stupid things you did while drunk, would be nice.

    PCGamer.com website increased CPU usage

    I am on Firefox version 76.01 with no active add-ons for the PC-gamer site, if that makes a difference. I do have Ublock Origin and one that is called "Dark background and light text" but both are disabled for this site. I will try testing it on my work laptop tomorrow and see if there is any...

    PCGamer.com website increased CPU usage

    I was reading This page today, when I realized that my CPU did'nt go bananas. My fans, which usually ramp up every time I am on PCGamer quieted down. I don't know why, but something must be different with this page vs all the others. When looking at the page, my CPU goes to a brief 2-4% and then...

    Non-Linear RPGs... Or Are They?

    One of the best open world games I have played is Gothic 3. I know most Gothic fans don't think so though. There you could go anywhere from the start. It had it's flaws, but made up for it in so many ways. I think it's as close to my ideal open world system as one can get. The first time I...

    Question What would it take for you to make the jump to 4K gaming?

    I guess it depends on the game. I have a 4K TV and a 144hz 1440p monitor. Half a year ago, before i built a new rig, I played a lot of my games on the TV with a 1070 card. I pushed the graphics as high as I could as long as I was over 30fps, preferably in the 40's. If its a fast paced game I...

    Weekend Question: What loot would you drop?

    A (probably) stolen pen, the cursed "phone of horrible communication" and a pair of sneakers with -2 Speed but +2 stability when drunk. Oh, also lip balm, with no perceivable magic power what so ever ...

    What was the first video game you remember playing?

    It might have been Football Manager or Microprose Soccer on the Commodore 64. I dont know if it was actually called Football Manager though. I remember you could save your progress on the tape, but that only worked about half of the time ... Probably my favourite game back then was Boulder Dash...

    Question Mid-Week Question: What's the first setting you change when you start a new game?

    Motion blur and Depth of field off, then I go on a rant to myself of; why on Gods green earth would anyone want to have these on when they hurt performance and looks. Then I crank all the graphics to max only to realize that my FPS are on negative two.

    Giveaway Win a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Cyberpunk 2077 Edition graphics card from PC Gamer and GOG.COM!

    I have had a shortcut to the first trailer of this game in my bookmarks bar for years and since it was coming out in April, I built a new computer just to run it. Alas the waiting is prolonged. What I'm hoping for is an experience akin to Witcher 3, only with guns. I recon my first few hours in...

    PCGamer.com website increased CPU usage

    Hi. I have also noticed the same increase in CPU use. Don't know when this started but it's pretty bad now. I started a Bug report with Firefox, maybe some of the info I posted there can help: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1637277 I uploaded some profiles amongst other things...
