Also games with splash screens or intro cinematics before the main menu. I don't want to have to press esc five times just to get to the main menu faster. Luckily you can often get rid of those by messing around with an *.ini, deleting a couple of files or downloading a mod. Those "press any...

I got into the Dune Awakening beta weekend. I wanted to wait until my wife and I could take a look at it together, but I decided to start it up just now to see if it would even work. Good thing too, because it started compiling shaders which seems like it'll take half an hour at least. It also...

I tried out the demo for Nice Day for Fishing, a game based entirely on the Epic NPC Man series by Viva La Dirt League. It's definitely more enjoyable if you're familiar with the source material, but I think the jokes are good enough to stand on their own. The gameplay however is a bit too...

I've heard about this before. From what I've heard it's indeed a good action series, but the plot is a bit lacking, or at least it lacks character growth. I think I'm still paying for Crunchyroll, so I might check it out. EDIT: I started watching while waiting for the shaders to compile for...

I think I'm getting close to that, but I want to backtrack to the mountains first because as far as I know I won't be able to if I progress too far. Exactly. Also, most enemies don't have good loot on them anyway and it's not like I would know what I'm missing out on.

Imagine how awkward that must be for that character. They showed some interest and you never talked to anyone at camp ever again, but they still have to fight alongside you.

Apparently going from a HDMI graphics card to a VGA screen is not the same as going from a HDMI screen to a VGA graphics card, so I'll need to make sure I get the right adapter. Though I might check our second hand store and see if they have a VGA monitor for a couple of bucks instead. I...

I've had two 3 month breaks in my BG3 campaign on Tactical difficulty and it's honestly not that bad jumping back in. So far I haven't had any problems with Tactical difficulty, though it can be a real bother that enemies focus on my magic casters who are trying to concentrate on a spell...

Bay 12 Games, the developers of Dwarf Fortress. I don't think there are any other developers who've been working on the same game for 23 years while giving it away for free, relying purely on donations. Note that the game is still available for free, even with the paid Steam version being out.

I got curious and opened it up. It seems there is a ASUS V7700 TI with 64 whole megabytes of memory in there, which is a 24 year old graphics card.
