  • Nice!
    I’ve always been an Intel guy. But I have owned two AMD computers over the years. Both of those gave me a very unstable experience.
    High performance, but unstable.
    My latest pc is a Ryzen 9 3900x computer, and im definitely going back to Intel next time.
    My ryzen is very warm (which makes the fans become loud, first time I’ve had to switch to liquid cooling to be able to be in the room) and I’ve had a very unstable experience overall. Had to fiddle with energy settings and stuff to get it running properly.
    There has been several new games where I had to wait to even be able to play them due to crashes or inexplainable low performance.
    Darktide for example, still crashes for me, while my buddies old Intel pc’s runs it great and no issues. Totally missed out on that game as they are now done with it.

    Sorry for rant, but Im quite frustrated with this pc.


  • WWN is free, so I highly recommend!
    I’ll be happy if you at least take a quick look at other ttrpgs. :D

    DnD is obviously the most famous one by far. The problem is that it’s so famous, most people don’t think that there are in fact other games out there, often with newer ideas and better design, faster and easier mechanics that does not get in the way.

    There is also different styles to consider.
    The combat focused every PC is an unkillable superhero powertrip style fantasy, like DnD5e and Pathfinder.
    The lethal think before you act type old school style fantasy.
    The narrative Powered by the Apocalypse style games.
    The investigative thriller type GUMSHOE and Call of Cthulhu games.
    Etc etc.

    Im running my favorite of all time game Delta Green (great podcast here if you want to listen) as the main game right now and Forbidden Lands in between, for our fantasy fix. Great games as well!







  • Playing:
    Remnant 2, really fun!
    Doorkickers 2, a new update came out with new missions I have to conquer!
    Hell Let Loose got better again with the latest update, so I play that if I have the energy to shout orders into my mic (because no-one wants to be squad leader).
    Sons of the Forest is coming along nicely.

    Stopped playing:
    Gave up on Starfield. What a mediocre janky game with generic story. Frustrating and time consuming menus. It’s not massive at all. It’s just big empty rooms behind loading screens. There has been like 5% technical development since Fallout 4. They didn’t even bother to fix the mannequin NPC faces for their game “that has been in development for 12 years” or whatever.
    I cannot fathom how some people swallow that stuff and goes “10/10 game of the century” and pay 80€ for it.
    Sorry for rant.

    Looking forward to:
    Cyberpunk 2.0
    The infantry combat overhaul for Squad.
