    My old PC currently only has a big passive cooler that isn't bolted down because I lost the screws, but it still works. Though it started having issues starting up again, so I have to occasionally switch the RAM sticks around which somehow fixes the issue. I don't always notice a game is...

    There was a story a while ago about a player in EVE Online who befriended another player for 6 months just to steal his ship. That seems like it goes a bit too far to me.

    I don't think shooting people in a PvPvE game is toxic. Don't hate the player, hate the game. If the game doesn't give an incentive for players to work together but does give an incentive for them to fight each other then you shouldn't get mad when you get killed by other players. And it seems...

    Story based games 5 hours long?

    Spec Ops: The Line isn't very long (between 6 and 7 hours) and while it's not a RPG, it does have an interesting story. Portal is somewhere between 3 and 5 hours, depending on how good you are with puzzles. Also not really a story game, but still worth a mention in my opinion.

    I played some more Heat Signature. It's kind of like a very simple immersive simulator in the best way possible. Stealth is typically encouraged and you get plenty of gadgets to help with that, but sometimes you can just get away with shooting/stabbing/bludgeoning your way through an enemy ship...

    I started Heat Signature yesterday. It took me a bit to grasp the mechanics and my very first mission started with my ship exploding and my first character floating away into the emptiness of space. My second character got shot and thrown out of the airlock on his first mission, but luckily I...

    I played some more Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. The gameplay video for the DLC made me feel like playing it again and my kid was up when I started gaming, so Cyberpunk 2077 was not an option. Things are still going quite well. I got three new castles, though one of them I almost immediately...

    Slormancer screenshots and assorted comments

    Sounds like it's pressing/"clicking" the left stick, which explains why you accidentally open the map in frantic situations.

    Apparently I have already unlocked the final mission in Cyberpunk 2077, but there are a couple of side missions I want to finish first, especially since I understand that they might influence the ending you get, though I haven't looked up any spoilers.

    Finished TV series—who watches?

    The first season of Heroes was great. Then they made two more that just kept getting more ridiculous.
