    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    yes i saw the doom fallout mod and very excited. of course, i'm just waiting for that C&D letter and its all going to end in tears. Fingers cross it doesn't and we get to try it. Speaking of doom wads, still playing headless chicken and the city maps have so far been a real hit. clever, funny...

    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    atm i'm working through my 2018 backlog of indie games, but path of exile has swallowed all my time. the build i have is insanely powerful and so far nothing has even proven difficult. but its not the peak difficulty content and i would like to move to the next stages of the super power which is...

    Cooling Performance vs Acoustics: What's More Important?

    in the grand scheme of things, performance is more important. if your fans can't cool but are quiet, they're not worth the job. but on the flip side, i always buy bequiet bespoke stuff to reduce the sound and stop my machine sounding like a jet engine and annoying everyone in the house. in an...

    Overclocking in 2025, do you do it?

    I've never overclocked a device tbh. have thought about it, but as others have pointed, the games are fairly minor to not be worth the candle. Some auto overclock and unless i had a comparison i wouldn't even see the benefits.

    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    i played it on the playstation. i did have fun with it and i agree the tanky controls at times can be irritating. Especially when jumping is involved and some of the combat situations as its fairly clunky to move. Especially when you try to make a few steps out or try to roll out into the open...

    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    Still playing Path of exile, i've got to the end game and early mapping. my character finall has finally switched to volcanic fissure and so far the results have been most promising. Will see what its like on the higher maps though, so far the sunder ability whilst destructive, isn't cutting it...

    Should a developer keep adding new content to an old game after they release a sequel?

    I'm absolutely all for new content on old games. But i understand there will be a limit as to how far they go. For me, It all depends on the game tbh. i would argue ongoing support for a game if: 1. The previous game is in an unstable condition and still needs work. (bug fixing) 2. The sequel...

    Giveaway We're joining Frosthaven's party to give you a chance at winning a gaming laptop, a game key, and some swag to boot

    A high defense fighter with a silver tongue is usually my preference, but failing that a warrior with a support skill like thief/trap, healing or some range ability will suffice. Normally pick single hand weapons as it means i can carry a shield but i will compromise/switch to DBL hand if the...

    The art and photography thread (includes AI generated art)

    gazooks! i forgot to update my daily dose of horses. So in the last few weeks i've tried to do some more practice and maybe try and improve my rendering. Suffice to say, that the rendering is only going to get better once i know more about horses and how they are like in polygonal shapes. This...

    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    If it makes it any easier, have you tried editing the save game files such as https://yal.cc/r/terrasavr/ i personally used it when i hit a brick wall, but yeah got to a point where i was just getting destroyed by the bosses. The most annoying part is that they could fly through walls.
