Trying out Star Citizen for the first time to see why everyone is comparing it to Starfield...

I have to disagree with the broadband. I had lan parties up until 2010. What really killed it was the lack of custom servers. People were getting tired of playing the same games, and nothing new had custom configurable servers.

Microsoft Flight Simulator– United States World Update Trailer

I've used it on a few of my devices since it came out. I found it helpful to avoid my phone thinking my thigh or butt depending on which pocket it was in was trying to activate the screen and do whatever. With it on if my hand blocks a camera...

Fine with that. For such an important game i'd rather them take the time.

Damn. I need 3 more of these to upgrade the second array in my NAS. Sadly not in the budget right now.

Nice, been several updates since I last tried because it got so bad. Was fun at launch, buggy but quite enjoyable.

I had weird issues before with an out of date driver. Thankfully its only hosed me once. This update does have some issues as my game will either hard crash to the desktop, or at some point my FPS will tank to 1 - 4 FPS. Really blows when that...

Back in the day, there was only one: GameSpy. One launcher for playing on line games only.

For the last few weeks I've been playing games trying to upgrade the drives in my aging QNAP ts-451+ from 8TB reds to 16TB gold's (they're popular this year :) After about a month of copying, factory resetting, swapping, rebuilding, sectors...

Black Mesa: Played earthbound when they released it. Just went through to play Zen. Game is still so much better than the original HL. Some of the voice acting could be better but great sound and more cohesive story and guidance. A few bugs...

Same, her 3a is working but getting sluggish and having some issues. May do the 6a if there is face unlock / a working fingerprint sensor. Otherwise maybe the S22 FE or something like that in the fall.

That is depressing as I had higher hopes for this and avoided spoilers.

Sounds amazing. I'll give it a go soon. I enjoyed the original half-life around its original release time, but it's much rougher to play now. This seems like a much improved experience.

" NVIDIA is going the whole hog with its upcoming Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, with the new GeForce RTX 40 series cards -- even in mid-range form -- expected to offer huge performance increases over the current-gen GPUs. Read more...

Story is more together than Valve was able to make it back in the original. They did an amazing job with it. Some bits I don't love on Earthbound and Zen levels but so much fun.

Black Mesa, never got around to Zen when they finished it so going through those bits.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is finally getting its Top Gun: Maverick tie-in expansion this month...the Top Gun content was originally supposed to launch back in 2021, but as the movie was delayed, so was the DLC...well, Top Gun: Maverick is now...

My nephew pre ordered this so I may pick it up to play with him. Enjoying Dirt Rally 2 when we get the time to mess about in that but he's more into the F1 stuff and with VR this may be a lot of fun... but hard to pick between VR and ultrawide lol.
