    Dune: Awakening

    I thought that I'd hate the deathstill but I'm having a ton of fun loading bodies into my buggy (now known as The Hearse) for water reclamation!

    Dune: Awakening

    Wife and I picked this up during the Steam sale where they were bundling it with Windrose (which we already had). Been playing on a single player and multiplayer server, two different toons each, obviously. For solo player, I disabled backpack loss on normal death or worm kill only, all other...

    Which D5 pump is the highest quality, and where are you guys buying it from?

    Thank you very much! I sent it to my wife to order.

    Which D5 pump is the highest quality, and where are you guys buying it from?

    I was going to create my own thread but the new post creation basically pointed me here. Long story short, my wife added a ThermalTake water cooling system that she then gifted to me (not an AIO). The DDC pump died so we grabbed one of the EK pumps (in sig) out of the retired computer and placed...

    Crosswind aka Windrose (Pirate Survival)

    My wife and I have been playing this for the last couple of months, both as solo and team characters. Multi-enemy fight close-quarters combat is not very fun. However, using a ranged shot (or two) to stagger the incoming wave helps a bit. Upgrading your weapons and armor will help a bit. The...

    Starfield

    I’ve not been noticing anything really different pre- and post-patch. Thanks to the TA patch changing the suit and weapon crafting system, I’ve taken the lowly Equinox and made it my primary sniping weapon. I have a Starlash that will do triple the damage but I don’t think it’s fair to use on...

    Starfield

    You can buy the power armor set from trade authority merchants if you don’t get lucky on drops. The ability to change affixes and upgrade quality is a real game changer for people with bad luck on the RNG gods. There are still some affix combinations you can get on random drops that you can’t...

    Starfield: Let's see Your Ships!

    This is Ladybug, my almost 18K cargo, four turret, six engine monster. I wanted a ship that could store all my supplies in one place and have the ability to protect it all. 6 SAL-6830 Engines 4 PB0-300 Auto Alpha Turrets 2 PB0-300 Alpha Beams 2 CE-59 Missile Launchers J-52 Gamma Grav Drive...

    Check your local Walmart…..

    I ordered a 4070 Super at MSRP after my wife gave me her computer (it had a 1070 in it) at Walmart only for them to turn around and cancel the order claiming it was out of stock. My local Walmart had a 4070 Super open box at around 450 USD and it's working just fine so I'm a pretty happy camper...

    Starfield

    My wife turned on Family Sharing for Steam and she discovered Starfield in my list of games after buying and abandoning No Man’s Sky. She is now totally addicted to Starfield. At times, her play is making me nostalgic to get back to NG+ but then I see anew some of the reasons why I stopped...

    How many of you actually use ray tracing in the games you play?

    I'll try it once my new card arrives, assuming any games in my library support it.

    just wanted to touch on the ol' terminal discussion

    About half of the work I do on my work Mac laptop is done with the terminal. bash/zsh shell with Python scripts speeds up a lot of my workflow.
