    Forza Horizon 6

    I’m offended they didn’t include my body type. I identify as body type 5!

    Forza Horizon 6

    I’ll be getting the normal edition. I didn’t play FH5 much but Japan is a more interesting location for me so I imagine I will enjoy it more.

    LG C5 42"

    I’ve had the 42” C4 for half a year now and have no regrets for gaming or media. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

    MARATHON (Bungie)

    It’s a solid game but leans towards the hardcore sweaty PVP side of extraction shooters which won’t appeal to a large audience. It’s probably been my favourite PVP experience since early days of R6:Siege, but if they don’t get the player numbers up I don’t see it lasting longer than a year in...

    ARC Raiders by former EA exec Patrick Söderlund

    There are a few things to this: The game has aggression based match making. If it was your first raid then you were likely in a neutral lobby with semi-aggressive players. If you don’t shoot anyone then you will slowly get into friendly lobbies after 5-10 matches. People are generally more...

    MARATHON (Bungie)

    I know this game gets a lot of hate but I recently got it and so far I enjoy it despite the difficulty. I die way more in it than I do in Arc Raiders but I think the mindset is to treat it like a roguelite while you are starting out and just complete the contracts to level up factions and not...

    Everybody's Golf Hot Shots

    I’ve played a few hours, it’s decent. The gameplay itself is good but the menus and overall UI reminds me more of a mobile game rather than a typical Hot Shots title. Also it has a lot of annoying/polish issues like: Characters saying the same annoying voice line before every shot Characters...

    Everybody's Golf Hot Shots

    Camelot who started the Everybody’s Golf/Hot Shots franchise went on to make Mario Golf, so the two games are fairly similar.

    Everybody's Golf Hot Shots

    I got this but haven’t played it yet. Early reports from Reddit are that it runs terribly. A good PC should handle it but the steam deck and PS5 are having issues to the point that it affects your timing on swings. The fact that this looks like a mobile game but doesn’t run well is a bit...

    Borderlands 4 Promo cannot redeeem on 5080?

    You only get a key if you buy it from a participating retailer during the promo period. Some people sell their keys so you can buy them second hand, but that comes with all the risks of buying a second hand key.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Same here. Beat it the first month it was out. Now I’m playing it again as the ‘Final version’, also I didn’t have OLED or a 5090 when I first played it. As far as it being a whole new game I call BS on that, but I thought it was fine at launch so I may be the minority there.

    RTX 5090 Benchmarks

    I’ve heard the newer driver loses some performance so that might be the difference, although I have seen the same thing on other runs where I have higher clocks but get lower scores. One thing I haven’t tried yet is dialling back the memory clock. I might not be stable at that speed and ECC...

    LG C5 42"

    This is the route I went. 42” C4 at close out prices. I have a C1 in my living room and am excited to have a C4 in my office despite it not being the “perfect display”.

    RTX 5090 Benchmarks

    Against my better judgement I ended up getting an Asus TUF 5090 base model. So far this is my best score running on 576.80: https://www.3dmark.com/sn/7301133 Unfortunately I lost the curve that produced this and am now around the 15,300-15,500 mark.
