PC gaming thread

considering this one is likely based in Florida (GTA5 was Los Santos aka Los Angeles), there SHOULD be a woman of color in the title. Just like in GTA 5, there were 3 main characters in the story side of the game and 1 was black.

I can tell you from conversations with friends who work in that industry (both Zynga and EA) that they fully recognize that females are 51% of the population but far less of a percentage of active gamers.

Anyone got a handheld PC?

I’m thinking of getting myself one but not sure which would be the best option.

Steam Deck Oled would make sense as I have a massive library of games on Steam, many of which are older titles which I would like to play at some point :rofl:. While it would be nice for it to have the longevity to be able to play new AAA titles going forward, I accept that is probably unlikely with this generation of handhelds and would be happy to focus on playing titles I already own.

I am also signed up to the xbox game pass so the ROG Ally or Legion might be a good choice too. Perhaps not as easy or as smooth as the Steam Deck, they are potentially more powerful options?

My main concern would be around the size of the screen and in particular whether any writing on the screen is too small to read (I had this issue with the Switch lite).

Anyone having PS Vita games they don’t need anymore :grimacing:

Yes. The screen will be very small.

I wouldn’t advise it. If you are interested enough to play games , get a proper computer / gaming laptop / console.

You can connect the steamdeck to the TV but what would be the point ?

Took me pretty much the entire of yesterday putting this together (accidentally deleting half of it at one point didn’t help :rofl: ), but put together a top 10 list of games I’ve played this year:

Thanks! :smiley:

Very well compiled video. Cheers , will check out the games.

You might want to do the worst of the year games as well…

I enjoy watching those, but feel they’re a bit mean-spirited for the vibe of my channel… plus I’m selective about which games I buy and feature, so I haven’t really played any ‘bad’ games as such!

I am mean spirited. Madden 24 might be the worst game ever made.

he’s been dead for 3 years, yet they still keep making the game.

Thanks.
I already have a PC and a gaming laptop (17 inch) but i guess i could consider a much smaller laptop that would give me the portability.

Only 20 more days until infinite Wealth is mine!

Just wondering if anyone had ever played the text-based mmorpg ‘Torn’?

I’ve been playing since about March last year and been enjoying it. You start off as a level 1 with $100,000 and nothing else, but the ‘endgame’ is basically up to you and what you want to do in the game, but essentially it’s to make money and reach level 100 I suppose. But you can do it whichever path you choose. Some of the higher level players have been on it for nearly 20 years, but I hadn’t heard if it before last year and found it by accident.

just (re) started New Star Manager, which was a popular game on here a year or so ago. Reminds me of some retro games including one from the 80’s called striker where you got to choose which club to play for in the English league or abroad and depending on which league you were in you got a number of cards giving you shots on the opposing goal from various angles of run.

I can’t wait to play Ghosts of Tsushima, it looks a gorgeous game.

It’s become time for me to buy a laptop. Mainly for the kid.

I’ve become hopelessly outdated with tech

How’s the Nvidia GTX 2050 as a GPU ?
