It’s a nice touch with the plants spread around the place but I’ve never been a fan of all the bright rgb/led that gaming has turned to.

It sucks but I understand the reasons. Anything of true importance to someone should have been downloaded and/or upload somewhere else as it happens.

I remember watching my wife play through it and thinking it looks fun and interesting but when I tried I just couldn’t get in to it.

The first couple years were actually excellent but like you say it just turned in to a big mess with a miserable decline in every way.

All time high 87k and last 24 peaked at 1.5k…

What happened? I remember the launch and everyone was raving about how good it was. Personally I thought the gameplay looked very shallow and didn’t bother trying it.

It’s a nice looking car… from the outside. That interior is something else!

No thanks.

I like Hot Pursuit Remastered and play it every now and then as good arcade racers and getting hard to find.

I haven’t enjoyed a BF game since Bad Company 2… and everything newer is truly awful.

The controls for the Skate games, especially 3, are great.

It’s easier to say what I don’t like. Open worlds and crafting mechanics, they are just so boring

consoles are a big source of e-waste

Surely pc components are an equal source of e-waste? Personally I think PC gaming is in a weird place with all the unnecessary RGB obsession and endless consumerism of upgrades.

presumably already existing

I think you’d be surprised how uninterested the average person is in owning and using a pc nowadays so we can’t easily assume that.

lose their relevance over time

Also applies to pc gaming… It’s not like consoles stop working when a new one is released.

Anyway I’m not here to argue for one or the other as they can just happily coexist.

I have a Series S and quick resume and backward compatibility are the best features. The current generation is generally underwhelming though so I’m not surprised if pc gaming is on the rise.

It’s not like there needs to be a winner here. Console or PC gaming is just a personal preference and will always coexist.

It’s not all about performance and the price of what you suggest is triple that of a 5600G.

I probably shouldn’t have used the word “upgrade”.

I was recently thinking of changing to a 5600G or something to replace my 3600X + R9 390 combo. The GPU is so power hungry, runs very hot and is noisy that an AGPU would be an interesting upgrade.

Football Manager has taken hold of me…

So far I’ve promoted from 6th to 5th tier, stayed mid-low table for another season and now I’m aiming for a top 10.

Also finally have some decent youth players to work with. I really need to improve the first team too as almost everyone underperformed last season.

I don’t even consider myself a huge fan of the sport but I love the management part of it.

send help

I have claimed most of the games and some have been real gems. I’ve bought a few games too because they were the cheapest option.

Personally I don’t have a problem with the Epic launcher as it’s just a launcher which is fine by me. I use GOG Galaxy anyway and I’m not a fan of Steam either so don’t care about that aspect.
