"The Floating Tower" – A Tribute to Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure​

I think this is the most powerful variant of Starfield´s Old Earth Hunting Rifle. I can even improve it a bit but I still lack the science I need to do.

Picked up Enshrouded yesterday on Steam. It’s the kind of game you can’t stop playing. Ive found the wand and the shield to be a good combat combo.
Nice graphics. Give it a B+.

Next gen graphics tech demo by nVidia:

That is astonishing, truly mind blowing.

I've been building my own PCs for many years (I'm a software developer, systems programmer and originally studied electronics) and although I used to enjoy games never really built the box with that as a core requirement.

Tow years ago I built one and opted to get an Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti as the graphics board, that seemed very decent and suitable for many games but perhaps not some of the most demanding, I am fine with that.

I just looked on the passmark website (these folks have detailed benchmarks on CPU and Graphics cards) and saw this when comparing the highest spec RTX 5090 with my card:

Clearly that 5090 is pretty much twice the performance in those specific areas. As for price it seems one can be had for about $4,500, like five times the cost of my 3060.

At these spec levels this is often the case with graphics, one can double the throughput but must pay five times as much, fine if one is rolling in it but otherwise a hard to justify.

I used to play 3D games a lot, right back in the early 90s starting with Doom, then moved on to Unreal which I really loved and still do and later Half-Life 2 which I never quite completed but did enjoy.

On my current machine I have Doom Eternal which pushes my machine a bit and is superb but I've barely played it.

For those who prefer less violence and gore and so on, there is a truly excellent game called The Talos Principle, were you are basically a created robot, wandering a magical world trying to find out about how you came to exist.

It is very impressive graphically and has lots of challenges and puzzles that make the game truly relaxing yet stimulating too, here's a clip

Oh, just found out there's now a Talos Principle 2

Apparently this game is meant to be great on an RTX 5090

Most interesting about the Steam stats is the language used, actually.

Half of the Steam users use Chinese. They are up over 20 % in one month! All other languages are on the decline. English ranks second (down over 10 %), Russian third (down nearly 3 %).

Don´t forget that you are obliged to download and play my mod eternally.

It exists for ten years now and still replaces all the shooters out there, for me at least.

Boring Singleplayer mod for Battlefield 2

Boring Singleplayer allows you to deal with large groups of enemy bots. As Super-Medic, you use AT missiles and repair vehicles that have better armor than the opponents, if you play the USMC. The amount of ammunition is increased as well as the size...

Same here then switched to DDO and now play Neverwinter

So, I finally got around to trying Neverwinter.

Nice game over-all.

My regular gaming machine is too old to play GW2, so while I save up for a new machine, I have been playing this on the PS4 I originally bought just for playing DVDs and Blue-Rays.


I think its biggest weakness is the market and currencies TBH.

While GW2 has several currencies, the exchange from the in game gold to Blue Diamonds (which is the purchased monetization of the game,) is simple and clear.

I have found that in Neverwinter, there is some sort of exchange of the game monetization currency, and astral diamonds, which seems to be the main in game currency. I have not found a way to convert gold to astral diamonds, and the auctioning of astral diamonds for Zen seems unnecessarily complex.

The GW2 has a system, where at any given time, the exchange rate is set, and you can purchase blue diamonds for gold, and vice versa, whereas Neverwinter doesn't seem to have this, it completely depends on player bids for an exchange.

. . . OTH, the story and characters in Neverwinter are great. One never can go wrong with the Realms.

For instance, it was a nice surprise to be on an adventure that echoed the scene on the players handbook from the 70s.

. . on, and playing this game on a console makes interacting with others rather difficult if one does not want to use a mic to talk to strangers.

Played the the original star wars x-wing made for windows 95 and beat it twice.
such a cool space sim, really wish somebody made a newer version
with today's graphics it could look like you are playing a movie
