What are you playing?

@SN2716057 I used to be an adventurer like him.....

Currently dividing my time between "The Entropy Centre", "Gotham Knights" and some casual exploration in "Sable" Looking forward to "The Callisto Protocol" but may hold off until the holidays when I can just blitz it and hopefully any bugfixes needed have been released.

It's easy to outrun the guards of Skyrim because all their knees are shot.

What mods are using? Just curious

What mods are using? Just curious

Currently only PATRICIAN ENB & Widescreen Fix as all other mods don't seem to work.

Edit: I just reinstalled the game, so far all mods work again. But I play in windowed mode, atm.

Need for Speed Unbound has In-Game Issues with RTX 4090 that can only be fixed with VBIOS Update

Well that's not good..

Reference my avatar. since game went beta I play DDO almost everyday. Outdated UI, the most complex rpg D&D based game ever. Immense learning curve, (which drives away new players imo). F1 22', Solasta

I tried playing Subnautica again.

While the game is great and beautiful, I have a natural fear of the Ocean. Let alone an Ocean with Giant sea monsters who make loud roaring sounds in the water and randomly appear behind you and eat you.

Those damn Leviathans or Reapers, as soon as I see one headed my way I alt+F4.

LOL, are you also one of those unfortunate kids that got to see The Abyss waaaay too early for comfort?

That was a traumatic experience at 6 y.o. let me tell you. Underwater just wasn't the same thing anymore.

Funny enough I saw it not as young but it never bothered me. I dunno why but I always felt that movie was boring.

But I always had this fear of the ocean for some reason and never could explain it. It just makes it so much worst with colossal sea monsters who want to eat you.

Personally I have a mild to bad arachnophobia and if they are close enough/detailed looking in games even that way it can trigger it and ofc bunch of games have to have spiders in them..
It can be traced back to a childhood trauma with spiders and ever since that I can't stand them and get this unrealistic fear of them, those black spiders in Witcher 3 also made me feel very uncomfortable so I tried to avoid them. 'lets not even talk about those mutant spider things jumping on your gas mask in Metro games.. I would rather fight that mutated zombie bear again '

It ain't random though. You hear them, and you fear them, and you avoid them. Such a great game. It's a shame it hasn't gripped you entirely, and I will expand on this below:

Thief 2: The Metal Age. The year is 200X, so some years after the game's actual release. Dated graphics. Big maps. Remember the time when you were just dropped in a corner of a massive level with very unhelpful maps and no quest trackers or anything? Like that. There's a crypt at this level. Assuming there's stuff to steal down there I go down and just walk about. I walk around, there are some things to steal and so I steal them. I walk down a corridor and turning a corner at the other end (which is quite nearby) there is a thing. A demon? An undead? Whatever it is, it makes some noises and it scared the living daylights out of me and so I turn around, run up the ladder and run to the other end of the level to catch my breath. And that is how deep in the game I was. I didn't alt+F4. I didn't try to fight it. I ran, literally as far as the game allowed me, and when I had gathered my wits I went somewhere else. Stole other things and eventually did the thing I was supposed to do.

And that right there is the height of immersion. It had nothing to do with graphics, just writing and sound and design. Subnautica is basically on that level if you go in blind. I had no idea what the game was, and it was absolutely delightful.

But spiders are cool and nice!

Well OK.

Point of the matter is, while the game is great, giant sea monsters. Not so much.

It's truly terrifying without it being a horror game. Devs did indeed do a fantastic job.

I'll play more of it and try to complete it but avoiding the reapers seem to be an impossible task for me as they always swim faster than I do and catch up quick.

Let it consume you. You can run from the monsters, instead of alt-f4'ing!

No

Too scared buddy.

I have no willpower...I just bought 'The Callisto Protocol' and downloading right now. Sucker

on the PC? Oh man. Enjoy the stutter fest.

try not to go over your 2 hr limit... cause you may need to refund... its got terrible reviews due to not working right on PC.

in other news, I just got an email saying I had 2 free games come with my 13600kf purchase from launch day (its like 35 days late email I guess?), had no idea it came with free games when I originally got it. Antonline just sent me an email though, I got Redout 2 and Gotham Knight for free. cool deal

Will probably give Redout 2 a try sooner rather than later, arcade racing sounds fun right now

A bit of Skyrim SE to test the mods and Valheim to test my building schematics.

To hack apart with your sword or Mace or blow them apart with a lightning or fire spell. Been loving that since Diablo.

 

[LifeOnMars]

Oh man it's so beautiful maxed but crazy demanding at 4k with all RT and yes shaders most definitely causing stutter on first play. Patch is due to drop soon, I'll try tomorrow morning and report back.

EDIT - Patch released and game is fixed woop woop. Guess what I'll be playing all weekend

I never noticed this before, but in God of War PC game, it has Pagefile in red letters... does this mean I should try to increase my Page File limits? I'm on Win 11... any advice welcome

glad to see you having fun mate, that's what it's about!

That is the games way of complaining. However, you have 32GB of RAM. You don't need a huge pagefile. However, bumping it up to 4GB(4096MB min/max) wouldn't hurt anything. It would just take up more space on your drive.

seems the game thinks your page file is locked to 2 GB exactly: 2048. RAM also looks like total capacity and not usage. So yeah Perhaps its red because 2 GB is too small.

Half way through the Call of Duty 2 campaign, after that Red Faction 1.

After that either Serious Sam 2 or Far Cry 1.
