    Feels like a mix between Ferris Bueller and The Simpsons.

    Been playing Abiotic Factor again; I'm definitely back into it at this point. Steadily working my way through the Reactor and still have at least one more area to get through until I finish it off. I desperately need some more powerful weapons though. Been having some hardware issues, however...

    I stopped playing PvP servers in games (unless it's a purely PvP game) back some 2007 in WoW. After the first expansion came out, you'd have people dropping out of the sky with their flying mounts to kill you and then grief you by corpse camping. It hadn't been so bad in the Vanilla game...

    My 27" monitor is 1080p and I also have a 24" 1080p Dell Ultrasharp. If I look really closely at the 27", I can definitely see it's slightly more blurred due to less pixel density, but when I'm just sitting there using the thing, I can't see any noticeable difference.

    That's definitely a quirk of BTA. You sometimes end-up being dropped in places some of your mechs just can't do anything; more than once I've had my 4-legged mech get dropped on some spot that they just end-up stuck in the entire game. It becomes essential, you'll likely find. Just because...

    If I can give any advice, it's this: your people don't matter. I mean, they do, but the real progression of the game is your village and making it better. Your heroes are disposable. If they're low level and get too stressed, don't fix them, kick them to the curb and hire some new sucker...

    Over Easter I told my Dad that AI is not yet AGI and is a long way off. He keeps sending me a lot of stuff to change my mind. But my Dad also believes in Aliens, Ghosts and the superiority of the White Race, so I don't take a lot of that terribly seriously. Yeah, I'll probably give it a go...

    Oh, I know. I have 240-hours in that particular game :p

    That to me is the spirit of PC gaming.

    Apparently in March of this year, still nearly 52% of people are on 1080p, so I think we have a ways to go: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam

    I go back periodically, but only on private servers these days. Though I often feel the same: Why am I doing this? I mostly just like to do the dungeons and explore the world and even after 22 years I still run across things I hadn't seen before. I keep seeing my Nephew pop-up with it on...

    I have, but haven't bothered yet. I may try it out in the next week, but I suspect I'll have similar issues with the CPU/GPU wattage stuff, so I'm not exactly chomping at the bit. As I understand it in Windows, it's specifically the Intel drivers that sort all that out, so without that, I...

    Lots of angry downvotes in this comments section https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gaming-monitors/of-course-1440p-is-your-favorite-gaming-res-but-im-kinda-stunned-there-are-as-many-4k-gamers-as-1080p-ones-in-pc-gamers-ranks/ People apparently angry that some of us are fine with 1080p. I'm...

    Other than Valve, what video game developer/publisher would you most want to work for.

    New Blood seems like they could be cool. They put out a lot of stuff that really jibes with me, so it would be cool to work for a place where I really believe in the product for once.

    Yeah, I think it's fine. I've had fun with it and about on par with the other fun (measured in hours played) as any other Bethesda game. And to sing its praises a little bit, it actually still looks pretty fantastic even on Low when running on my laptop. That said, I don't think it should run...
