Thanks. Other people say 6700XT is possible and it’s a good card and will pair nicely with your PC. I’m not in the US so can’t comment on price but even a RX6600XT/6650XT 8GB is great for 1080p as an alternative.

6700XT is a good card but what are the rest of your specs?

The Xbox dashboard is already a mess so I hope this doesn’t make it even more shit. I know it will though.

I don’t have any recommendations buy will say that my watch is one thing that I’ve changed over the last 2 years to be “just” a watch. I used to have a Huawei and Samsung and use it for tracking everything but I decided to get a Citizen Eco-Drive and haven’t looked back since. Can’t get more private than that :D

My goal this year is to finish off all the games I’ve left hanging so Pikmin is my first one on the Switch list. I’ve started all 4 but I’ll at least complete them in order eventually :D

Currently the new ratings will only apply to games released after June. “Without applying the rules to current games the policy will do little to protect the children who are already playing them,” Tofield said.

Overall I think the changes are positive but I think they definitely should apply to all and not just new releases.

Games lacking any way for users to report or block players online will receive a PEGI 18 rating.

Also this is interesting. I’m not sure how common it is to have no controls for this in a game but it should certainly make devs/publishers think seriously about it.

Thanks. I didn’t know about that one. It looks like a weird kids kart racer version of Rollcage but I’m going to give it a try.

GRIP is a spiritual successor and is ,in my opinion, a better game than the originals. They actual teased a sequel just last week called GRIP XR which is exciting.

I remember and loved the demo too. It was a perfect showcase but the actual game is a little rough around the edges.

Here are the download links mentioned on the podcast. I play both often and they work great.

Rollcage Redux

Rollcage Extreme

I associate them with WindowBlinds and adding a start menu to Windows 8. Probably haven’t thought about them since.

Something else that has started happening today is that when I first load up p.lazysoci.al I get an “500 internal error” message. A quick refresh fixes it and my feed loads up. Also it’s fine when using default Lemmy and not the Photon UI.

Most open world games I can’t seem to get past a few hours. I’ve started RDR 2 about 4 times now, Watch Dogs/Assassins Creed games probably more than that and even stuff like Forza Horizon (I love FH1 though) is part of that too.

Death Stranding with horses is what came to mind for me too so I’m very interested in this one.

Fable 2

I’m a few hours in and its a real throwback to 2009 or whenever as I haven’t played it since launch. It feels very familiar but I don’t really remember much about the game. Once thing to note is that after playing Fable Anniversary, Fable 2 definitely has a vibe of being brightly coloured world but often times quite bland with nothing to show in the open world.

Lots of short and random sessions on my handheld. Colin McRae 2.0, PSO, WWE No Mercy and many more. Dreamcast isn’t really viable but some games can be playable with some tweaking but It’s great for PSX and below though. I set up syncthing to backup saves and screenshots so I can easily access them on my PC too :)

I’m not one to 100℅ anything but that’s impressive as combat is quite janky an tedious at times.

Holding on to stuff longer isn’t necessarily a bad thing as the pc market was in a very wasteful state before all this. Still sucks though they way things have become :(

Yes but it’s likely going to be a 5600g and no dedicated GPU at that price point.

edit: 5600g + cooler, Asus a520, 16gb 3200 ddr4, 1tb m.2, 500w psu and case for £400 over here which isn’t far off the target. Entry level at best but it’s all upgradable which is the point.

Shits gonna suck when even this option dissapears :(

I would start by adding a couple more indexers but don’t go overboard. 3 or 4 should be good and then swap them out as needed. Also something to note is make sure you aren’t just “hit n run” on everything and seed properly.

Appreciate it. A quick test and all seems to be working properly now :)
