Death Stranding with horses is what came to mind for me too so I’m very interested in this one.

Holding on to stuff longer isn’t necessarily a bad thing as the pc market was in a very wasteful state before all this. Still sucks though they way things have become :(

Yes but it’s likely going to be a 5600g and no dedicated GPU at that price point.

edit: 5600g + cooler, Asus a520, 16gb 3200 ddr4, 1tb m.2, 500w psu and case for £400 over here which isn’t far off the target. Entry level at best but it’s all upgradable which is the point.

Shits gonna suck when even this option dissapears :(

I read most of the article and I’m inclined to agree with what they say. The title does read as clickbait though but it’s just their statement so please read it for yourselves.

That’s a fair point. I feel that PC gaming was in a peak of consumerism with ridiculous prices and never ending “upgrades” so it’ll be interesting to see if anything changes. I hope it does and some of that knowledge/skill and enthusiasm for optimisation comes back.

This has been my default for a couple years now. Qwant search is ok at best but I mainly use it because I wanted an EU alternative with some privacy. As for Vivaldi I think its great, and especially with an OISD list with the built in blocker.

Those “online pass” days were grim. Xbox Live gold sub and I need an online pass to play BF3!

I’d say the easiest/quickest way to start is on a console with a headset and using your phone to manage the stream. Just sit down, launch a game and start chatting to yourself. If you have a console that is?

PC isn’t exactly difficult but you’ll need to set up and use something like OBS.

I think making and keeping it a hobby you enjoy is the key to success. Don’t burden yourself with thinking you have to be popular and just play what you want and when you want.

Mars Tactics is probably top now that Cairn was released last week. Actually honestly I’m most excited for the Coaches DLC for ETS2 :D
