    HELLDIVERS II

    The game is jolly good fun with a group. I love seeing difficulty settings add mechanics rather than only scaling health/damage. The directional arrow minigame for calldowns/objectives is genius. The 2 enemy factions give a lot of variety in strategy and loadouts. The effort put into the cheesy...

    Palworld

    I have about 15 hours in it so far--the core elements are good but it has a lot of room to grow into something better. Some nice things: Big map to explore with many different 'pals' No crashes or gamebreaking issues so far (linux+proton) Progression seems reasonably implemented. Everything...

    Tribes 3: Rivals

    Neat. Could be really cool if they leaned harder into the mobility angle and added titanfall's grappling gun and wall running on top of the skiing/jetpack. I'd settle for a simple remake though!

    Payday 3

    I'm calling it quits after 20 minutes stuck on the matchmaking screen while making a 'friends only' lobby. The gameplay from the beta stress test weekend seemed good but I've got better things to do than sit in a queue without knowing the progress.

    BattleBit Remastered

    Long time battlefield fan and I say this is good. It's a 3 person dev team so don't expect miracles as they get things started but the core mechanics are very reminiscent of battlefield's better days. I suspect the quality of voice chat will degrade as the community grows, but for now it's an...

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    Works great on linux without too much difficulty setting up.

    Voidtrain

    I've got about 16 hours in it (solo) and I think I've seen most of the current content. I don't recommend the game for most people. It might be great for keeping children busy for a while. Most of the content is tedious rather than rewarding after the magic of building a bigger train wears off...

    Dwarf Fortress

    The game is now available. The new UI and quality of life changes are great; I like playing the game without so much eye strain. Adventure mode isn't available (yet). For those new to the game, have Fun! The dwarf fortress wiki is a great resource, but it isn't currently updated for the new...

    Dwarf Fortress

    The long awaited Dwarf Fortress premium comes to Steam on December 6. Fully new user interface, art, music. The game won't be any easier but at least it'll be playable!

    Every man needs a four pack - flashlights 10 bucks shipped

    Some folks go HARD on the best, some folks go HARD on the savings. Both are welcome here ;) also--deal is dead, $22 now.

    Every man needs a four pack - flashlights 10 bucks shipped

    Not a headlamp, but IMO the Fenix PD35 is the best flashlight around. Small, durable, bright, and long lasting with a good 18650 battery. My PD35 is ~7 years old and it's every bit as good as the day I bought it; stuff like OP is practically disposable which might be OK for keeping in the car...

    Ratpadz XT

    Finally threw out my XT about a year ago; it was definitely worn down with use (~10 years!!). In some ways this was great since it was so slick at the start that if I butterfingered my mouse it wound up on the floor 90% of the time. The pads didn't seem to be suitably annealed after machining...

    Removing "Logos"

    Razor blade is the fastest/easiest if it's glass. Keep the blade around 30-45 degrees above the plane and work slowly. Done right it should catch the edge of the ink and scrape it clean in a single pass. Do not use the corner of the blade or you may scratch the glass. Use the same method to...

    Steam Holiday sale 2021 from December 22 to January 5, 2022 10 AM PST

    Barotrauma is a great group game, 7.49 instead of $30.

    $159.99 - Crucial 2TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD Up to 2400MB/s on Amazon

    I believe this is one of the models that launched as TLC and swapped to QLC (with SLC cache) after release. Certainly slower than some alternatives but still plenty fast.

    Thanks. I've had my eye on this title for COOP but have been holding out for a bugfix patch.

    New World Amazon Studios MMORPG

    Open beta launched yesterday and lasts through the weekend. There's a button to request access on the steam store page. It can take a while to get the approval email but you can still install/play immediately. I played to level 10 in about 2.5 hours. Servers seemed relatively stable and I...

    Highfleet

    Bought this after watching some gameplay for a bit. Good: Gameplay is great. Good balance of strategy and ship combat. Lots of shipbuilding variety, but it's generally avoidable if that's not your thing. Visuals & music I think there's a lot of potential paths towards victory in terms of...

    Outriders (Bulletstorm developer)

    I just completed the story in ~12 hours as devastator (tank class), with solo WT4 most of the way. Overall an okay game, in the end I feel like I got what I expected and that was a pretty average looter shooter. Some of the boss fights were great, some were downright frustrating. The difficulty...

    Outriders (Bulletstorm developer)

    There's cross-platform play on all endpoints; I'm assuming they needed to stagger the launch to avoid nuking the server. I believe preload (~70GB) is available for every platform except Epic right now if you preordered. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback from folks once it's live. I...

    Best driver for Radeon VII 16Gb + Asrock x399M

    I think 19.12.3 was the best for me. The system would still boot to black screen on major windows and bios updates most of the time; I think something in the card itself sucked at output device selection across all driver versions.

    What's the latest on AMD's driver issues for the RX 5600 XT and similar models?

    Anecdotal, but things haven't improved much over the last year on my 5700XT and Radeon VII systems. The display driver still periodically resets in games, which crashes the game and occasionally BSOD's the PC. Many people aren't having issues, but I'm 2 for 2 on completely stock CPU/GPU systems...

    Doom Eternal

    I finished the game on ultraviolence recently and I'm glad to say it was enjoyable. I maintain that 2016 was better in every way, but Eternal is not the hot garbage I thought it was after the first mission.

    Doom Eternal

    2016 was a masterpiece in every regard, and would be difficult to top. I may not have played enough yet to be credible (beat the first mission, ~1 hour of play). ....but... the game plays very differently than 2016 and not in good ways in my opinion. The storytelling isn't there (yet?), combat...

    Radeon VII Owner's Club!

    Anyone else having periodic minor artifacts or black screens? I've had better luck with some driver releases compared to others so I'm thinking the hardware might be ok, but to still have issues this long after release is pretty crappy. I'm still on 1803.

    3800x PBO off weird voltage and results

    One of the feedback items from AMD regarding odd voltages reported in Windows is that some monitoring programs are polling the CPU in such a way that it causes the CPU to behave differently than normal. Similarly, running multiple monitoring tools simultaneously will create a race condition and...

    X570 motherboards price leak from ALZA.CO.UK

    Anyone come across any reviews for the mobos? I'm specifically looking for some feedback on the chipset fan noise. Had one on X58 and it was a real pain in the ear after a few years.

    Asus MG279Q, 27", 2560x1440, IPS, 144hz $400 @ Amazon

    It was released in 2015. At the time, 90fps Freesync was pretty good. I believe the PG279Q is the same panel but with Gsync compatibility instead. The PG279Q has better refresh rates.

    The Division 2

    Had a ridiculously good run in ODZ Last weekend with a match made group. Didn't encounter any other players and the landmarks reset every 10 seconds! Reached the 30 item extract mail limit in about 30 minutes. I'm guessing this is unusual?
