OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I always stay a month back or so on my Nvidia drivers. Only because of issues like this, everything will be working perfectly and then a new driver breaks something. So now I've got into the habitat of just sitting back a version or two.

Same. I usually read the driver benchmark/impressions thread on the NVIDIA reddit when a new driver comes out before installing to see the changes.

If you have a microcenter near by and want a 3070-3090 I'd encourage you to check every morning and night.

My microcenter nearest to me seems to constantly getting stock of 3070 and some stock of 3080 and 3090 occasionally showing in their site and available in store only.

They say limited availability so I don't know if that means 2 and I haven't went yet to see how quickly they actually go but I do know I've seen some be available for a day or two.

Worth a look for those of you wanting a card and have a microcenter within driving distance.

EA has crashed the Take Two acquisition of Codemasters, started a possible bidding war.

Selfishly hoping EA wins, as that means we'd probably get all the Codemasters games on EA Play...

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Are there any current games that would scratch the rampaging and wanton destruction itch? I'm thinking something akin to Mercenaries.

I bought Destroy All Humans this weekend and have been having a blast with it and reliving memories of the original.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is on sale for $5. All the destruction one could ask for. Plus, the multiplayer servers are still very active.

Just Cause series, Teardown is a fun game.

I just started playing Valheim with some people in my neighborhood.

I'm approaching 100 hours played in Valheim with a few friends, 3rd boss down this past weekend.

What is the general thought on Valheim. We have group that is very much into ARK but we may be looking for a change. My only concern is that I heard the replay value may not be there and with only 5 bosses I am not sure how long our group of 8 would require to beat them all.

I'm enjoying it a lot. Only done the first boss with nephew.
For me is not about the bosses but the building and exploration so your mileage may vary.

How are these types of games if you prefer to play by yourself?

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

This will probably get its own thread, but Diablo 2 Resurrected was announced today. It appears to be a 2D to 3D conversion of the original.

I'm well aware of the mess that was Warcraft 3 Reforged, but this is a standalone game that shouldn't affect owners of the original. Pretty exciting to finally see this happening.

Can't really link to anything now, but there's an announce trailer on Blizzard's site.

Valheim, Satisfactory, Space Engineers, Stationeers, Road to Eden, The Infected etc.. all have been fun solo.
The only one so far that I've done co-op is Road to Eden and Valheim.
I don't do PvP
Obviously if the game has co-op it just adds to it but not needed IMO.
If you like figuring stuff out, exploring, building a base etc.. (Which is my main preference these days) you have fun.

More excited for this than diablo 4. Diablo 2 was my childhood and I still play every now and then on the slash server
