  • Progressed a bunch more in witcher 3 but got burnt out again. Finished ugly baby and it seems a bunch of side quests become unavailable after isle of mists and I don’t have time to binge them nowadays.

    Tried to make progress in celeste and they bleed pixels but they were too hard. I think I’ll give up on golden strawberries and do the other stuff on celeste and might end up giving up on tbp entirely as the fire world seems impenetrable. The difficulty curve on that game is insane

    Currently looking for a short ish easy game thag I can just play from beginning to the end without getting stuck or feeling completionist fomo. Suggestions?


  • It really is. I often find myself avoiding long games with intermittent text or dialog (RPGs!) because I get bored when there’s none and want to listen to a podcast but can’t because then I’ll miss the next dialog.

    There’s also the “I’ve got something to do so I can’t deal with starting up a game” and then spending an hour on youtube





  • I can’t wrap my head around this comment. You think playing video games is a wealthy people hobby? Or are you saying the author of the article is a wealthy person who doesn’t work? And he has to remind us that becuase that’s apparently something rich people do all the time that I missed? Or is it that only wealthy people have time to read these articles? Did I miss elon musk promoting path of exile or something what does he have anything to do with this?

    The real answer doesn’t make sense neither, the article makes no mention of how much money the game has made, it’s just a surface level review.









  • These are more like last 2 week but anyways:

    • Finished Agent A after a year of hiatus.
    • Got hdr to work in Dark Souls 2 with the graphics overhaul mod and finished getting the 4 big Souls.
    • Got tired of the difficulty of Dark Souls 2 and decided to start a new random shooter from my library… Devil Daggers
    • Had a management sim itch and gave another shot at FTL, never got to win. Half the time I lost in a single encounter to things like never landing a shot on the enemy ship due to shields + misses or 7 people teleporting to my ship and wrecking havok. Other times I got too greedy.
    • Tried to figure out which way to go next in Dark Solus 2 by checking the wiki but kept getting sidetracked by things I might’ve missed.
    • Also tried to quench the management itch with shapez, but didn’t like it much. Just made me crave the factorio dlc more. Amazing music though




  • *HX - mobile workstation
    *H / *HS - laptop
    *U / *P - ultrabook

    Ryzen AI - current gen amd
    Ryzen 7x4x / Ryzen 8x4x - last gen amd
    Ryzen 6xxx / Ryzen 7x3x - prev gen amd
    Core Ultra 1xx / Core 14xxx - current gen intel
    Core 1xxx / Core 13xxx - last gen intel
    Core 12xxx - prev gen intel

    Generation is the most important factor for single thread performance, then power usage and lastly sku.

    You could go for an *HX or *H model from a recent gen for an upgrade or if you’re fine with the performance you had you could also get a *U model as those are cheaper, more silent and use less power. It’s actually surprising that your laptop wasn’t that loud
    Also the next intel generation is soon to come with big improvements I think, but it’ll probably take time for it to be sold
