Helldivers 2, Satisfactory.

Might try searching tech forums, overclock.net maybe? I'm sure someone out there has replaced the pads on your card and knows what size to use.

I got a nice full window of MS thanking me for being a loyal win10 customer the other day on my haswell system. They mentioned the end of win10 support next year and while my system isn't supported in win11 they offered links to get more info..on win11 or something.

Neat, I guess. I've used a few players mentioned earlier. I'd forgotten about foobar2000. I've used AIMP off and on for years now, mostly because it has a decent built in encoder.

I watched the final cinematic for HW3... just goofy and lame. A game with a story like that better have solid game play and a good UI, unit control. Just from my time in the beta, I know it doesn't. Yet another bad sequel that isn't half as good as its predecessors.

Mack on HW3, not all bad but not great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O2yM1JCylE

I saw an interesting post on a youtube video about HW3, similar to allegations of Starfields development. Namely that many modern games have these bugs or features that don't work because parts of the code is parceled out to different studios and then when you try to put it all together things...

Given all the drama with PSN, I'll wait until its cheap on GoG for single player. Though the game is supposedly DRM free and works fine offline. I can't remember if this was one of a PS+ game I got on ps4 or a freebie Sony gave away at one point.

The reviews have not been kind on Steam or in the forums. 45% positive. The story clips I've seen online are pretty bad. Cliche writing and acting.

No, not playing it but I've been watching it on streams.

It will probably do better than OW2 especially if they are free to play. I'm sure they'll make a ton of cash on skins given marvel comics long history. The game certainly proves that 6v6 isn't any worse than 5v5.

Vex is a new channel in the last year or so but he has done some good reviews and analysis since then.

Good God, that is insane. $3200 CAN to fix a scratched power connector.

Game has been de-listed on Steam in the same 100 or so countries that Helldivers2 were in the whole PSN network connection drama from last week. Perhaps Valve is doing this to avoid refund issues. I know last weekend the devs at Ghosts said the multiplayer would requires PSN but not single...

Performance testing/review: https://gamegpu.tech/rts-/-strategy/homeworld-3 From what the review shows and what people are saying on Steam, test your peformance settings in game, not using the benchmark. The benchmark uh, well... it doesn't seem to matter what card you have, it will keep...

Did they change the control system? Make it more like classic HW1/2?

HUB weighs in on twitters: https://twitter.com/HardwareUnboxed/status/1788346094646448184

Sony raising the price of PS+ to $80 a year did not help them at all. Since then I've not seen any serious price deals on any of the usual sites. At one point I could get PS+ for $30-40 a year. That was barely worth it to me then. $60 let alone $80 is not. Gamepass for PC might be worth it at...

It almost always devolves into this because many just can't have objective discussions about it. I generally don't care that much these days but over the last 12 years or so since Win8 I have seen people genuinely defend the just outright crazy design ideas that Mircrosoft has done with windows...

Windows White Knight Defender Squad in full effect as usual.

Intel published a statement on the issue: https://twitter.com/aschilling/status/1788133702448336902 "Intel is not recommending motherboard manufacturers to use ‘baseline’ power delivery settings on boards capable of higher values" Edit: Toms Hardware link...

Might try Benchmate, it combines a bunch of programs like cinebench for testing systems.

Yet that violates equality. Why do those of us in PSN account allowed countries have to sign up? They clearly aren't needed to play the game or do crossplay with the ps5.

Amusing screenshot of the game's discord back in Feburary of a customer asking a Community Mangager for the game about PSN linking. https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cl7f5t/screenshot_from_the_helldivers_2_discord/#lightbox

All done within 72 hours or so. A good example of how protest via review "bombing" etc. can indeed work.

It is not just the data for marketing etc., they also want the ability to easily ban you (and possibly your psn account as a whole) for any transgressions in Helldivers2.

Updates via the Helldivers discord, their Community manager: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cjyll7/some_discord_updates/ It looks like Sony is backing down, at least for those who can't get a PSN account in their country.

Because I don't trust Sony or MS but especially not Sony these days. Nevermind that I cant play the game on ps5 because I don't own one and I dont think it runs on a ps4. Edit to add: When I had to add a MS account for Halo Collection and the Gears Tactics game to play them on Steam, it would...

Bummer. I knew I should have passed on this game or waited for 6 months. Ive not even really played the game beyond the tutorial. I guess I'll wait and see until June 4th when they force players from pre May 6th to link an account. I guess I'll have to figure out if I really want to link my psn...

News is getting worse on this. A tester in China bought up 100+ chips to test. 50% of 13900k are stable in auto profile. Worse numbers for 14th gen. https://wccftech.com/only-5-out-of-10-core-i9-13900k-2-out-of-10-core-i9-14900k-cpus-stable-in-auto-profile-intel-board-partners-stability-issues/

Yeah, I forget when I first saw this in win10. It was at least earlier this year if not last fall. First time I saw it I thought there was a pending windows update or something waiting to go.

From what I've read online, a lot of the transportation stuff is bugged or just wonky. Many said they were often just better off trading goods for food.

Hub cites an interview at Anandtech from 2019: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14582/talking-tdp-turbo-and-overclocking-an-interview-with-intel-fellow-guy-therien Power limit can be 999w and be in spec.

Yes, I know. I'm interested to see if it will be on sale or discount as it were for as much or more this summer. It will probably be the same discount as now. I'm not sure I want to spend even $30 on an EA game right now that looks like it has awhile to go in development. 5-10 hours and lots of...

Intel makes a statement: https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-issues-its-first-statement-in-response-to-13-14th-gen-core-i9-cpu-stability-issues

I think I've talked myself out of this one for now after reading various reviews on Steam and online. Still rough around the edges. I think I'm more interested to see if they put the game back on sale when the summer sales start in June/July. $40 for what I'm seeing now just seems too much. Even...

Thats another city builder I forgot about till recently. Reviews said it is not optimized yet.

Usually hard to tell at release if a dev will be slower on getting updates out on GoG.

You usually can download the older version or versions for awhile after a new patch via the website or launcher.
