    Windows 11 is out!

    I have a laptop that came with windows 11 installed, and a desktop computer that is still running 10. I honestly prefer 10. Visually it looks nicer, and functionally it's more intuitive.

    Staying at home is the norm... What are you reading?

    Just finished "One by One" by Ruth Ware today. Good book, predictable ending though. I'm now reading "Devil and the Dark Water" by Stuart Turton

    The most decent character of all time

    Agreed, also Keanu Reeves' real life personality is something to be admired. Really great person, inside and out.

    Games That Change the Way You See Gaming

    Elder scrolls: Oblivion totally blew my mind when I first played it, over a decade and a half ago. I never imagined video games could be that open ended and liberating, and visually (for the time) absolutely beautiful too. I still get chills when I hear the opening music.

    GPU Market Nosedives, Sales Lowest In a Decade

    Graphics cards are INSANELY overpriced right now especially nvidia cards, they're not affordable for many.

    Superman is bisexual now!!!

    Not in my head, I pretend it never happened, just like I pretend the film Terminator:Dark Fate never happened. Hate these revisions of old characters by new, politically correct writers who don't have a clue why they were successful in the first place. Why can't they just create new characters...

    Staying at home is the norm... What are you reading?

    Oh I was hoping for a thread like this. As much as I love video games, books are simply the best escapist material there is, there's nothing like the feeling of immersing yourself in a good book. Currently I'm halfway through a novel called "One by One" , by Ruth Ware. It's an Agatha Christie...

    Generally love everything created by Thomas Newman, what a breathtakingly talented composer.

    Tv Openings/Movie Intros That Really Stand Out

    I grew up in the 90s, some memorable ones are the intro to Men in black, the Lion King opening sequence, the Rugrats theme song, the Winnie the Pooh theme song, Peter rabbit intro, and the elevator sequence of Get Smart, though that last one was from the 70s I believe? Still love it.

    What are you currently playing?

    Frostpunk. I confess I'm slightly addicted to this game. Great impromptu boredom killer.

    are you going to buy mass effect andromeda?

    Okay, who the hell was praising Dragon Age Inquisition?

    Dragon age inquisition was a brave attempt to ressurect the series' name after the disaster of DA2 (which really wasn't that bad IMO) but I think it only half succeeded. It did much better in world design and length, but the plot was bland and the user interface was clunky, especially if you...

    Games that you've lost momentum with (stopped playing)

    Witcher 2 and 3. The controls are freaking terrible, so unintuitive. Alan Wake. Combat was boring and repetitive. Far Cry 3. Great game but I got stuck at one point and haven't bothered to go back. Skyrim. Started off great, but then I got to level 20 or so and the enemies were incredibly...

    I just got a decent Smartphone! (Please recommend me some games)

    Highly recommend frozen free fall, it's like candy crush but with nicer music and theme.
