    Is the Steam Machine really a viable alternative

    It's not for me. Some games I like to play with Mods. I mean I had like 100 mods installed when playing Fallout 4. I also listen to music/podcasts using Spotify and all the music I own I use musicBee for. There are so many other things that I prefer doing online rather than using a phone app...

    What is your Favourite PC Game?

    I can't decide on just one game. But by far and wide I prefer lower budget, indie or AA games than AAA. Definetly not multiplayer. The Planet Crafter Powerwash Simulator 2 Path of Exile (one) would be my favourites.

    Whats the polar opposite of "cozy" games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley?

    One of the Pinball games were you need good reflexes. That or juiced map running in Path of Exile where your screen is just full of so many effects you really can't tell what is going on.

    November 2025 General Games Discussion Thread

    I had a week's holiday so got to start playing Path of Exile on the first sunday. I've stopped now that I've done all tier 1-16 maps. Just have a few uniques to get map completion done. Once they do the next patch this week and fix the new drops from breach I'll go back. Need about 7...

    What’s the one game you never get tired of playing, and why does it keep pulling you back in?

    I'm not one to generally go back and do anything. I won't rewatch a film or tv series or re-read a book. I think it's just how my brain is wired and my memory works. Even with music I might find a new band and listen to their disocraphy for a while and then find another one. However...

    September 2025 General Game Discussion Thread

    I'm researching PoE 1 builds for the new season at the end of October and also some farming and crafting strategies. I've not really done much of either before. I definetly play a build that is different from anything I've done before. Whilst waiting I've started to replay AC:Odyssey. I...

    Cities Skylines II Discussion

    Agreed. CS:1 is just so much easier to play. Just simple things like linking up water pumps and sewage facilites to pipes is better. There is more content and tons of steam workshop assets and mods as well. Thankfully I manages to get my copy of CS:2 for £14.99 but even that is one of my...

    steam wants your bank details

    I really am not going to save payment details in steam. As others have said it's just too risky. The real problem here is that it should be the parents that decide what their children can or cannot do and they should be given the tools to help support that. The other issue that hasn't been...

    The last game you completed

    Gears of War: Reloaded. They have done a really good job of upgrading the graphics. I played the original and it was definetly worth playing again. Even on normal difficulty you can easily get overwhelmed if you don't use cover. Well it is the original "cover shooter". The story is a...

    The last game you completed

    I'm pretty sure that the 100 rep race in Wheel World is the final race, in which case I've finished it. It's an absolutely brilliant game with a very nice soundtrack. There's just something about flicking back and forth between corners and then boosting down straights. It starts out simple...

    August 2025 General Game Discussion

    I've finished Doom the Dark Ages and COD Blackops 6 campaign. I've also gone back to Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 which I bought the Submarine and Fishing Boats DLC. The submarines are absolutely huge in game!

    If at first you don't succeed, try and try again

    Killing the Searing Exarch pinnacle boss in Path of Exile. It has a certain attack at two health stages that shoot balls of fire across the screen vertically and then horizontally. Some of these are removed and you have to dodge through the gap. I just could not get the timing right on this...

    Advice for a new monitor

    Newly released ones maybe. You can still pickup monitors like the MSI MAG 325CQRF-QD for around £300. That's a 32 inch curved 170hz 1440p VA panel monitor. I wouldn't upgrade to this from a 27 inch one though. As other's have said upgrade other bits then maybe in a few years time a new GPU.
