    How do you view TPU & the internet in general? (With poll)

    Basically all of my internet use is on a PC. None of it is through touch enabled or mobile devices. I have a phone of course, but I really only use it for calls or texts. That probably makes me sound a bit older than I am. A lot of this comes down to my habits and preferences. I feel far more...

    Last game you purchased?

    Yessss! I just finished that.

    Last game you purchased?

    Yes! Although... that's not soon enough! Oh, wait... we're almost in the second half of the year so that's not that far away!? (We're already in the second half of the 2020s and I'm panicking at how fast this entire decade has been passing.) As for the recent Steam summer sale, I got three...

    What are you playing?

    I don't like to "encourage" others to play something they're not naturally taking a vibe to, but... If your sole hesitation is with the dodging and you would otherwise like the game, I would say try and stick with it. The early game (especially the optional content) is not representative of...

    DDR4 Module Prices Overtake DDR5 for the First Time

    I have no idea about those other situations. The reason I made the analogy here was because I felt like it could be a predictor of what may come for DDR4 RAM pricing.

    PC Restarting Under Load

    I would be concerned with the fact that it was previously pulling a lot of wattage through a few specific wires, causing them to melt, to begin with... Four memory sticks can be heavy, but you seem to imply you've been running them at stock JEDEC speeds, and since they are 8 GB DIMMs, they are...

    DDR4 Module Prices Overtake DDR5 for the First Time

    "Usually for newer technology rollout, prices are significantly higher compared to the last-gen." Well, this was true for about five years now. DDR5 launched all the way back in 2020, after all. I think the reason this can seem surprising despite that is because of how long DDR3 remained...

    Expedition 33

    That isn't too unsurprising to me. The combat system is a hybrid system after all. It sort of asks that you like (or at least tolerate) both turn-based battles and "Souls-like" mechanics (for lack of better terms for the reactive-based dodging). There's going to be people who like but not the...

    Expedition 33

    Yes, story mode timings are longer now, but they are already were to begin with. Expedition still has the same timings as expert, which was the original remark I was making. I also feel a bit conflicted about it, but it will probably be my game of the year despite that. It's definitely not my...

    What are you playing?

    I'm finished with Spyro 3, so that concludes the Reignited trilogy. I was really fun to finish the original trilogy after all these years, especially since I only ever owned the first one and played/seen parts of the second one. I found out I mostly disliked the second one and really loved the...

    Expedition 33

    Believe it or not, the dodge and parry timings aren't any different on the expert (hard) difficulty compared to the expedition (normal) difficulty. The timings for dodge and parry are somewhere around 0.2 and 0.15 seconds respectively. They are more forgiving on story (easy) though. The main...

    Can you guess Which game it is?

    Hahaha! I would have no idea what that is. The hands remind me of a spot in Silent Hill 2 but I know it's not that game.

  15. Princess Garnet

    Expedition 33

    What I meant there was that if you do all of the optional act III side content before the end of the story, then you will end up many, many times (perhaps orders of magnitude would be a closer description?) more powerful than the content you are doing. I think New Game+ is mostly just scaled up...
