Fantastic month on Humble Bundle, I wanted all of these games. I only paid $9 since I bought the annual pass and pause most months. :D

View attachment 378810

Some real Gems in the last 2 months. I was thinking of picking up Fort Solis. I have said this before but Humble are the real curators of this space. What I love is there is always a Game for Daddy and a Game for my Daughter. I gave up Netflix for this and can't say I mind at all.

Yep, I have an irl friend who likes Humble Bundle for the same reason, there is always at least one item for everyone in the family it seems like. Some months are duds true, but you just pause what you don't want and nothing is lost, which is amazing.

hmmmm, I bought Jet set radio, Space Channel 5, and Crazy taxi on steam since they were being delisted. The one that runs the best for me was Crazy taxi. SC5 has input problems on the keyboard, and its hard to make graffitis in jet set radio. I've been enjoying Crazy Taxi the most. Sega also delisted Nights Into Dreams and Sega Bass Fishing. I was so sad I couldn't get sega bass fishing, smh. :banghead:

It was free from Epic, but I'm playing Marvel's Midnight Suns. Have not spent much time in the turn based genre over the decades. But man did this game hook me, being a comics nerd. Some of the animations for attacks are great.

Ninja Gaiden 2, never played anything similar (closest thing was DMC5, and it kicked ass), but I'm open to new genres and I'll see if I like it.

I think I got Midnight Suns from a Humble Bundle, I agree, very well optimized game surprisingly, and quite nice on the eyes.

This is my latest game purchase, this months new Humble Bundle came out today and is fantastic... Griftlands, Total War Pharaoh, Immortals of Aveum, etc.

The Arkham games are addictive. I could have done without the batmobile in Arkham Knight, but once you get used to gameplay loop it is fun enough. I do a playthrough of Mad Max every couple of years too. Another great WB game.

Just make sure you edit the .ini files so you can play at your max refresh rate for your monitor, there are guides on youtube or online. I had to edit the .ini file for all of the batman arkham games to get them to run at high refresh, was a bit of a pain in the ass because each game requires two .ini files to be edited and you have to do a special way of saving it from what I remember. It was worth the hassle though, because the game looks incredible at high refresh no blur (plus its easy to get reach those high fps numbers since they are such old games).

Disclaimer: if you don't know how to do it or don't think you will figure it out, then just enjoy as is.

Got Crysis Remastered Trilogy on EGS for less than $10 (it was ~R$40). Running nicely on Linux with Heroic, RT included (which surprised me, I thought it would fare badly with RADV drivers).

I am thinking of getting Dead Space remake today, I saw it only at €15. Seems to me I won't be able to run it on my GPU though.

A Quadro A2000? Should be ok at 1080p. IF you need a low-profile card your upgrade options are limited, but if you can do normal cards than it might be time for an upgrade. A 3060ti or 3070 would do well for you and would be a huge upgrade.

Vsync / 60Hz. Noticed any graphical options were absent. Just set up NV control panel figuring I'd dig into the game files later. Surprisingly it didn't open in 720i or below.

Though I'm revisiting the Remake first (on PS4) as it's been over 2 years since I last played it, I don't remember the game that much (unlike the original FFVII after 20+ playthroughs).
