The crushing load of insecurity behind the bandwagonners for this astounds me. I mean, I get that the geniuses who started Super-Straight as a dumb Fash joke would want to poke at the self-affirming crowd in the spectrum, but the other ones aren't even aware that this is cringeworthy satire...

I'm almost done with my new build (i9 10900K, 32 GBs, 2080 Super) and I'm waiting for my bog-standard modular ATX PSU to come in by mail. The thing is, I'm also working on upgrading an old Lenovo ThinkCentre for work, and I happen to have a 600W SFF PSU lying around, plus a compatible mounting...

Aaaaand I just built a 2080 Super rig, literally days before this announcement. Oh, well. Most offerings on the market still tend to expect something like a 1080 or its AMD equivalent for their Recommended specs - I don't see anything motivating my switching to a 3080 in the immediate. We'll...

Eh, I kinda like Fallen Order. It's a nice change of pace from the usual moans of Where's the next real KOTOR?! or Oh fuck, more Battlefront content! That aside, EA really isn't hurting. Fallen Order felt like a begrudging concession coming out of a publisher that expected another megamillion...

The only 8K content providers I've seen hyping up the format are, unsurprisingly, video game devs fresh off of the press junket for the RTX 3000 line and the upcoming "Big Navi" AMD cards. Most streaming services barely have a decent 4K catalogue, and that's at the mercy of your ISP. All of the...

Toss my name in the Good enough for 30-to-60 FPS differentiation pile, as well as the What the fuck is the deal with 4K and 8K resolutions anyway?! pile. I'm primarily a PC gamer with an occasional shift to console (Ghost of Tsushima has a pretty effective basic hook) and I mostly play in...

I can't say I'm surprised; I'm a returning member in a new coat of paint (board wouldn't let me log back in with my old credentials as IamLEAM1983, for some reason) and I do remember a few similar opinions of B-Cell's. That said, though, your list of suggestions is spot-on. I'd love Get to the...

There's a point where you're tempted to open an argument with "I don't wanna be that guy", only to realize that five or six other people in this same thread have already been said guy... Saying you've noticed that an arbitrary selection of games has been shit only tells me that your preferences...

I'm mostly playing Strategy titles, lately. Stuff like Surviving Mars, Frostpunk, Total War: Three Kingdoms, Civ VI and SimCity 4. On the off-side, I'm putzing around Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn's PC ports and slowly working on Izuhara's fog of war in Ghost of Tsushima. Honestly, all...

If your main criteria for determining what qualifies an "Excel Spreadsheet" game is its focus on pure optimization, then I guess Dwarf Fortress is the only obvious answer, with other lo-fi offerings like Prison Architect or Rimworld coming in close second. Personally, though, I've been...
