I'm generally suspicious that these do much of anything, honestly, but I have no data to back that claim up. The things that I focus on with my laptop is making sure the vents are clear of dust and to go with that, making sure the laptop has adequate breathing room, meaning, don't put it on a...

Today is the day! Leaving for London this evening and hopefully be able to sleep on the flight, though I'm a terrible sleeper, especially when "stuff" is happening around me, so we'll see. I am absolutely riddled with anxiety; about getting to the airport, about the flight, about being...

I think I could like it, I just need to recalibrate my expectations, because they were very different going in. I love Command & Conquer (at least, the first two games), so it feels like World in Conflict could be for me, but I just need to keep cracking away at it and see if I can get into it...

That sounds super cool. I think I once owned X3 on Disc and it still seems really neat to get into, but somewhat impenetrable to me at this stage in my life.

I downloaded the demo for Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, which is actually quite fun. Platformers, especially 3d Platformers aren't usually my thing, but this one has cars (even if they're nothing like a real car) and I love cars, so, I guess that's a go? Anyway, it's quite fun. I've put an hour into...

Finally gave this a watch and it's just a reminder of how small of a subset the people on this forum are. It's baffling to me that people would ever play this or spend money on it, but I'm also not a gambler either; been to Casinos many times and just find them completely boring.

Did you play either of the originals or the newer Deserts game? They Live references? I'm in!

The first one is definitely just "ok" and yeah, that's exactly my problem is that it ends up being tedious and annoying because there are too many zombies. 2 is much, much better. Fundamentally the same game, so if you're not interested in the style, you won't care for it, but it's...

I picked up State of Decay a few days ago because it was on sale for $5 and I've very much enjoyed the 50 hours I put into State of Decay 2 in the past; it was very much a sleeper game for me, where it looked like it might be fun, but I really ended up loving everything about it and got...

I really gotta get into AoE2. Loved the original forever ago and own the new AoE2, but haven't gotten into it yet. Maybe it needs more tanks for me... This sounds like one of those conversations I would have politely Noped out of. It's perfectly ok and normal to be ignorant of some things, but...

Ah ok. Resin is usually a bottled liquid, which is poured into a vat. There are many different kinds, different colors (which doesn't seem to matter, as you want to paint it so it doesn't over cure if exposed to the sun, but will have different printing times, due to needing more or less UV...

It's pretty cool, especially as a tabletop wargamer. I have a resin printer, so that's my only experience with it currently, but there is FDM, which is a little different, less caustic, less resolution (though it can still be damn impressive) and is very good for printing stuff like...

Hoplite is honestly worth a check. I do get bored rapidly of stuff on my phone, but I do believe that that is not the fault of Hoplite in this case. DS Recommendations: Air Traffic Chaos - This is a plate spinning game, essentially. If you've played "Air Traffic Control" style games on your...

Highly recommend it as a hobby and painting is easier than you probably think. 5 years ago I could never imagine myself doing it, but here I am...

There's definitely a particular mood you need to be in for them. GB games are hitting right for me now because I just want something pretty simple and it helps that I can play a Gameboy with one hand. Plus you might be surprised at the sheer variety of them. DS is pretty great, as it had a lot...
