Hey

The original RE4 on PS3. Playing the Ada part.

Ruru...

My previous custom build PC is much like your media rig...(that I still have in a closet, not used)
(2016).. Asus Z170i 'Pro Gaming' MB, LGA 1151, NCase M1 (Lian Li) aluminum, Intel i7-6700k CPU, nVidia GTX 1080

man, that's soooooo realistic

still the same ... less than 2hrs shy of 300

that game can be scenic sometime ... and no, i am not talking about "butts bunny" ("what's up Doc?")


and then ... you do almost 200mio dmg in 22 minutes while only taking 939 dmg yourself ... duoing the last waves with an Ult Ajax, because the 2 others did quit just before (i forgot to screenshot the "high five" emote )

some peoples ingame are saying that Bunny is garbage ... well, yeah... about 80% of the bunny players are running odd build ... and spend more time kissing the floor than running and dps'ing... i have 27k def, no shield, nearly 15 meter skill radius and, not my highest health char, 6k health (9k when i have enough stack of the season buff ) i can literally rush thru a pack of mob (echo swamp special op ) res a fallen player (most of the time a bunny... ) while activating her burst skill (modified to be a 9m radius high dmg AOE instead of the traditional focused beam) and rush elsewhere afterward ...

also finished farming Hailey, they were right to say it would need 12days if you are lucky ... after leveling her a bit, she's interesting, it's also fun to play sniper even tho the game is fast paced, quite hilarious when you manage to pull a tricky move (i.e.: timing her ult with the appearance of the boss and one shooting him )

I use that setup to play on my 1080p TV, though the 6700 XT is a beast for that resolution..


Finished the Separate Ways on the original RE4 on PS3. I'll start the professional difficulty run tomorrow.

I have to say, I'm slowly getting hooked now that I've fixed most of the performance issues and I've found a weapon type that I really like with my class, its like nah just +1 mission then I'm off to sleep. 'even forgot about playing Callisto Protocol last night cause of this'

Today I've fired up Diablo 4 cause I've wanted to play with my oldest friend from the D2 days, apparently hes playing the exact same build as me 'Andariel Rogue' so we decided to go all out with the current highest tier run and ye its a total chaos like I can't even see a damn thing but we managed it just fine. 'and still the game was rock solid performance wise, maxed out with DLSS on Quality'

Btw you can't really take pics of this build in action, its just a LOT of arrows and poison all over the screen constantly so ye it will look like a blur on a pic.

So do people really play with all those hardware stats on all the time? Isn't that distracting, and also pretty pointless?

I don't, usually after I'm done tweaking my ingame settings I turn off the overlay cause yeah it is kinda distracting in most games. 'in story driven games it also ruins my immersion'
This time it was enabled cause it was the first time I've played with another player with this very same build and I was wondering if all those effects tank my performance or not. 'it really is a chaos, those screens don't show half of the madness thats going on'

 

[Veseleil]

Same. I also tend to toggle it on for screenshots, for people to see the actual performance of the game on my system, not because I'm interested in all those metrics all the time...

So restarting Fallout New Vegas and the Steam version is ... really shitty. Installing the mods that are supposedly bug fixing made things like buildings and entire mountains flash in and out of existance until I alt-tabbed out and in again, until alt-tabbing back stopped working. I'm just going to find the old "aquired" installation files because the first full playthrough I did didn't have any bugs at all that I remember. Everything sucks, why do everything suck so very much and why does everything suck more with each passing day, even decade old games? I hate everything so much.

So instead I'm playing Rimworld while watching Agents of SHIELD, remembering a time when there was some things that weren't sucky (MCU Golden Age).

The same reason I don't play games at all lately. Everything new I try is 99% instant nope, the old good games I'm trying to go back to I give up on in the process, because of all the hurdles I need to jump over to fix them with mods and other tweaks... It's just tiresome and kinda burdening after a day at work. I really don't have time nor will anymore to troubleshoot something for days, just to give up in the end.
I've tried to run Sid's Alpha Centauri few months ago, spent a couple of days searching the internet for solutions, but the damn thing just won't even start on my system.

Then shop on GOG. You'll find a bit more to like and enjoy. Less fluff, more real fun, no DRM.

Is your game from Steam or GOG? I've got the GOG version loaded on both my desktop/Win 10 and laptop/Win 11 and I just checked and both load and run fine. GOG does more to ensure those old classics run on today's OS. If you don't have the GOG version then you can most likely pick it up for $1.50 on the Winter Sale.

No. My hardware measurements for instance, are about a third of that and all tucked up in a corner.

It's from GOG. Maybe it's my OS's fault for being something MS don't approve and missing stuff that most expect to be there by default. But I really tried installing everything it might need for that particular game, old net frameworks and whatnot, spent hours at the GOG forums, just to give it all up in the end. Just for the record, I'm not the only one having this issue.
I should probably finish my retro build and have that XP or Win 7 machine for such titles and stop whining about >20 years old game not running. But I'm really not into OS fresh install on my main rig right now.

Is it time to play Satisfactory again now that they've hit the 1.0 milestone? I finished Update 8 around 9 months ago (I earned my Ficsit mug for completing all tiers but didn't dabble in any of the unnecessary components).

I'm just curious if they've finished the campaign story, or if there's still work being done on it that's worth waiting for.

 

[Sithaer]

The same reason I don't play games at all lately. Everything new I try is 99% instant nope.

I have the exact opposite issue, there are too many games that I'm interested in and my backlog is already impossible to catch up with.
That and cause I don't really like to play more than 1-2 games but I'm very slow at finishing single player games nowadays so its a very slow process, by the time I finish a longer game theres already something new that I want to play. 'I'm also playing 2 free2play games on the side but those I aint quiting since I like/enjoy them too much for that'

No. My hardware measurements for instance, are about a third of that and all tucked up in a corner.

I have it set up that way since I don't have it displayed all of the time so its a non issue but if I have weird perfomance issues I like to see whats going on, ran into plenty of lovely games that use 1-2 CPU threads at most and this way I can tell if I'm being limited by that or not.
This helped me out number of times in the past to figure out why certain games run/perform the way they do. '+ helps me tweak my settings to my preferences'

That was not Hailey, my Hailey rocks desert camo and blond shoulder length hair (but the "nun" outfit is selectable for Hailey too )

16hrs to unlock Viessa (basic one, I got some components for ult lepic )

One thing I hate, getting extra descendants comp for those I already have including ult bunny

I compensate by admiring my Ult Valby stats 30k+ def and 11k health (which go up to almost 13k with the inversion buff)

Last day off and well spent (not only in game ofc )
