    The renewable energy source that would power my ecological paradise is that serene feeling you get when you're in a quiet woods, the temperature is perfect, the golden hour is upon you.

    Competition Win a Winter Bundle from PC Gamer and GOG

    It's difficult to say between Disco Elysium and No Man's Sky, but I'll say I'd be most excited to give No Man's Sky a spin. I used to play a game called Noctis IV. It was a tiny little game developed by a solo Italian developer and had a small, but devoted community to playing the game. There...

    Weekend Question: What turns a dungeon into a fun-geon?

    Loot that makes exploration rewarding. One of my biggest frustration is working out some solution to get into a hidden area filled with loot and you start popping crates, but all you get are a couple low-level healing potions and a weapon that's already 2 levels below you. I eventually just stop...

    Giveaway Win the Cyberpunk 2077 Collector's Edition from PC Gamer and GOG.COM!

    Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura was my first GOG purchase, but my favorite was Master of Magic. I played Master of Magic at my friends house a dozen years before and could not remember what the game was until I saw it on here. It was a nice trip down the Good Ol' Games road.

    Enter to win this Alienware EVERSPACE 2 Prize Pack from PC Gamer and ROCKFISH Games!

    I think I'll enjoy using the Sentinel most of all. I like the design of the ship and it looks like it'll get me between points quickly while being maneuverable enough to take out anything in my path. I look forward to the ship customization and trying out all of the classes, though.

    PC Gamer Reader Awards - tell us about the CPUs you love!

    Recently upgraded from an absolutely aged i5 3570k. It was running at a 4.2 GHz overclock for 7 years until about three months ago when I started having problems with overheating. Probably could have fiddled around with some new thermal paste or a cooler replacement, but I decided to bump myself...

    PC Gamer Reader Awards - tell us about the graphics cards you love!

    I've got my RX 580 8 GB graphics card, that was an upgrade about a year and a half ago after I finally got around to playing some newer games and my GTX 650 could barely run anything above low settings. The RX 580 has performed fairly well for me, but I'll be looking to upgrade to something more...

    Question Dropped Frames

    Old thread, but I thought I'd jump in because I've been having similar issues with dropped frames. I'm almost positive mine are related to overheating. I have a similar fan setup as you, one 92 mm rear fan and the CPU fan. I started monitoring my temperatures and found that I was running rather...

    Giveaway Win a Lenovo Legion Monitor, keyboard, mouse and more from PC Gamer!

    I was at a friend’s house and him and his dad had just put together a computer. He had Diablo and Warcraft, but what got me hooked was a buggy little game called Masters of Magic. Spent the weekend rotating out as we played different games. Started subscribing to PC Gamer before I had a PC...

    Giveaway {Winner Announced!} Win the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Twin Fan!

    I was already working from home full time, so not a whole lot has changed. My wife and daughter are also home full time since the 14th, so it's been more tiring dealing with a two and a half year old while also trying to work. Work has slowed down a bit, so I've been sneaking in a match or two...

    Mid-Week Question: If you could respec in real life, how would you redistribute your skill points?

    @Krud I haven't played Disco Elysium yet, but something tells me it's going to be like this. I'd take back all the negative points I've slotted into Procrastination to increase Free Time (which is a skill that really should come with an asterisk denoting *NOT ACTUALLY FREE TIME - THIS IS...
