Escape from Tarkov uses mics a lot! It's not always a laugh, but people are pretty reliably on comms if you run into them.

Do you have any power saving settings enabled in Windows? Sometimes GPU software can include different performance settings that can affect your framerate pretty substantially too, so definitely spend some time making sure all of your settings are correct!

Playing a little Shadow Warrior 3 at the moment, but have mixed feelings towards it. I like the turn to a more fantasy/colourful art direction, but the level design is a massive step down form its predecessor - it's just endless arenas with the occasional parkour challenge. Thankfully it's only...

Grabbed the complete editions of Watch_Dogs 1 and 2 as I'm in the mood for a big open world and they're both on a huge discount. Have played a bit of both before on console but not the DLC content so I'm hoping it will justify a replay!

I find that I learn my way around small FPS maps pretty quickly, especially in multiplayer games like MWII. RPGs, on the other hand, I'm always getting lost in - if there's not an on screen marker to guide me, chances are I will be losing track of where I am alot. I think some of that might...

No worries! I did the same and wouldn't have guessed it had all these weird little quirks.

Has all been sorted now! Although there were some very bizarre proprietary HP features that made the move a bit awkward. For starters, the motherboard seems hard wired not to boot without a rear fan present for seemingly no reason. I was going for double front fans, so had to resort to chucking...

Thanks! 😁

Thanks for the recs @Lutfij, @Kaamos_Llama, @Why_Me! I ended up going with a NZXT H510i in the end! I found one fairly cheap in a colour I like and will probably be upgrading the motherboard to an ATX model in the next few years so just want to make sure I will have that flexibility.

Nothing fancy, just basic air cooling!

Title is self explanatory, but I managed to accidentally drop my HP Omen 25L out of a (thankfully unmoving) vehicle. Miraculously, everything still seems to be working internally and it appears to have only sustained exterior damage. That said, the case is now absolutely wrecked and will need...

I use this tiny mechanical set from Logitech and have never run into any problems! For games like The Sims 4 or Arma 3 (which need a few numpad keys by default for camera controls etc.) I can get by binding those functions to the emoji buttons down the right hand side.

To be fair, I have managed to get quite a bit of mileage out of both my machines so far! I was using a GTX 970 from 2014 up until 2022, by which point everything in that machine was truly on its last legs and therefore much easier to just replace entirely.

Every time I need a new GPU I buy an entire new computer instead because opening them to fit new parts is scary.
