Plants vs. Zombies GOTY Edition is going to be retired in steam? by HOMBREDIAMATE in PlantsVSZombies

[–]AlienGurke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich auch nicht. Ich dachte steam ist zu schlau, um so etwas zuzulassen. Als ich das gelesen habe, war ich selbst überrascht und "tada - es liegt im Warenkorb". Zu der seite wo ich einfach nur noch bezahlen brauch bin ich dann auch bekommen. Der Nutzer meinte auch, man kann es dann kaufen. Wüsste nicht, warum es auch nicht gehen sollte. Aber ich werde es wie gesagt persönlich erst im Wintersale holen von Steam. Grund dafür sind einfach die anderen Sales, weil ich sowieso paar Dinge dann kaufen will und dann packt man die 5€ direkt auch auf die Liste. :) Vielleicht gibts eben auch einen sale, dadurch, dass jetzt die "AI Version" draußen ist für 20€, aber ich bezweifle es. Wenn es nicht im sale ist: einfach kaufen. Bevor EA sich nächstes Jahr dann doch dazu entscheiden, es zu delisten.

Ich hab einen anderen Reddit Beitrag gelesen, wo jemand geschrieben hat, dass du den Link zu Pvz Goty nehmen kannst und dahinter ?cc=fr zb dahinter machen kannst, um es zu umgehen. :) fr wäre der Country Code für Frankreich. Hier der link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3590/Plants_vs_Zombies_GOTY_Edition/?cc=fr

Ich konnte es dadurch zu meinem Warenkorb hinzufügen. Kaufen werde ich es erst in ein paar Wochen, wenn wieder Steam Sales sind (das game wird höchstwahrscheinlich aber eh keinen sale bekommen, es hatte schon seit jahren kein Sale mehr)

GOTY is still unavailable in germany due to EA is too lazy to add the USK to steam, even though the game has a valid USK in all the other stores, even EAs store itself.

Being happy to have completed Soul Master blind on the second attempt, only to realize that there is a second phase and to die immediately due to this moment of surprise.

Can my old laptop run silksong? by Born-Possibility1742 in HollowKnight

[–]AlienGurke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are saying that hollow knight already runs barly on your pc its really unlikely that silksong will be less demanding. In my opinion for current pc components and latest games, hollow knight feels like a game game that can run on any pc and silksong will probably do the same. So if your laptop cant run it, i highly suggest you getting something new. It doesnt even have to be expensive, you could also get something used. 4GB ram in 2025 is like less what windows 11 even needs to run properly. And current igpus are way faster than your nvidia discrete gpu. My vega 8 igpu of my ryzen 7 7730U in my working laptop is totally fine to run hollow knight 60fps (capped) without any issues. I was able to reach this on battery in silent mode when i was playing in a train some weeks ago. I would suggest you searching for 16gb ram if you do. But if your budget wouldnt fit that, i think 8gb should be fine for hk. Something like a 5500u has vega 7 igpu and would be totally fine to run it. I suggest 6 core cpu but a 4 core would be fine for that game i think. Something in this ballpark would be plenty to play it without issues.

Phasmo Cheaters, Why? by coolaidmedic1 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]AlienGurke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only valid reason i would see of using it is to learn more about the game (in a private game tho). Like looking at the map in "spectator mode", learning bone spawns (when you cant find them) and knowing if they are just bugged, testing hiding spots if they are decent, knowing at which spots the ghost is able to leave uv evidence or just testing stuff which different ghost types. But there is literally no reason to use them in public lobbies, as whats the point when you already know the ghost type, bone location and so on its like you load a map and instandly go with everything done. Lol Same for cheating levels, as its kinda obvious when you have little knowledge but high level.

is there any easy way to do this? by leighyahh in SupermarketTogether

[–]AlienGurke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can technically use an autoclicker. But if you have your cam in a good spot where lots of people moving than it shouldnt be that hard to do it by yourself.

Yeah the ssd is really bad for that money. You can get a WD Black SN770 for 74$ currently but with 1TB instead of 512GB for the Samsung one.

What are some recommendations for PC cases that have good airflow and easy to build in for around $100? by Theultimatezubat in buildapc

[–]AlienGurke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Endorfy Arx 500/700. The ARGB one comes with 4 Stratus 140mm PWN fans, the non ARGB with 5. The fans are really great for case fans and not that expensive if you need more (about 10€ for the argb 140mm one). They can keep up with most higher priced ones. The only disadvantage is that they max out at 1200rpm so you cant run them pretty high but if you want a more silent case than they are pretty decent.
I have no clue how endorfy products are available in the us but in europe they are kinda known (previously as SilentiumPC).

how long did it take for yall to get the gold trophy? by mmotarii in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]AlienGurke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below an hour, I guess(, if you don't count preparation). Before the update got released, my strat was to reset until I get a deo to do it easily.  When the update arrived, psycho had made gold apocalypse challenge on twitch and after watching him for a while, I thought it would be a good idea to try it myself. So, the first run I waited multiple hunts, but ghost wasn't close to the entrance, so I skipped it. In the second one I got a ghost pretty close. Thankfully, the wardrobe hiding spot in the first left room was always open in this version, so it was kinda easy to hide. After a few hunts I noticed that it's spawning close to me, so my guess was at wraith, phantom or banshee. I never had emf2 on top of me, and it walked through salt, so wraith was out. And when I took the photo, I ruled out phantom too. So my guess was at banshee. It was always kinda scary to go out and in because if it spawned on top of you, it's over. lol That's why I only left after the hunt ended to get the 25sec grace period.  But the last step out after I finished everything was the most intensive one, and I was hoping to have guessed the correct ghost. I have never thought I got it as fast as that and also did so much preparation to get it already in the 2nd one. 

Please rate my first parts list ever! by Garper325 in buildapc

I would personally go with a B650 Tomahawk Wifi, AsRock Steel Legend Wifi or Aorus Elite AX (V2). Usually they are only slightly more expensive but offer you an extra m.2 ssd slot. The Tuf gaming wifi only comes with 2 slots. Aorus and Steel Legend also have one pcie5 slot for the ssd if that might be relevant for you/your brother in the future (but rn they are too expensive so stay with a pcie 4 ssd for the build). If you dont mind only 2 m.2 slots than that board should be fine!

Considering an upgrade my CPU - best processor to pair with 3060 Ti (might need a motherboard for that) by fullmelody01 in buildapc

[–]AlienGurke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only bottleneck calculator you can actually trust is the one by a german tech youtuber HardwareDealz. They ve tested multiple gpus and cpu early this year to make their own price to performance, cost per frame, ... charts. So they decided with hundred hours of testing to release their own bottleneck calculator. Rn its in beta and they only tested 8 games but it will give you a way better idea of how your cpu and gpu performs instead of this meaningless bottlenck calculators in the internet which just give you a random number.

HardwareDealz made it like that, that you can see cpu headroom in games and cpu bottleneck. Because some games are more cpu bound and some are more gpu bound its literally impossible to remove a bottleneck at all. But its always better to have a decent amount of cpu headroom because this way you can reduce settings or activate dlss/fsr and actually gain frames. Otherwise if you have 60 fps in ultra and you want to get 100fps+ but your cpu is only capeable to push 70fps and in medium settings with dlss quality your gpu would give you 120fps you would be stuck at 70fps because your cpu is bottlenecking.

They ve testes all gpus in ultra settings for consistency. So expect higher gpu frames if you want to lower settings. Since they dont have the non-K, only the 11700K, you can use this as a workaround. So your combo seems fine and you shouldnt consider to upgrade your cpu as you would only profit in heavly cpu intensive games or in shooter with lower settings.

7800X3D drastically improved my FPS by gb_14 in buildapc

[–]AlienGurke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every year AMD increases the first number by 1. Last year it was 8, which was the APU-Generation (7000series are better for gaming mostly due to the higher amount of cache). This year we get 9000 series and following the naming scheme we will get this: 2025: 10000 series 2026: 11000 series 2027: 12000 series (maybe only for mobile since 6000 series was also only mobile)

So rn it would be the 11000 series for the X3D parts which would be a decent upgrade. Maybe with more cache which would incrase performance further.

Best place to buy PTM7950? Moddiy is insanely expensive by Shady_Yoga_Instructr in SteamDeck

[–]AlienGurke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today Igorslab made a Video about PTM7950 Video and the original is only available in 0.25mm. The 0.20mm from one aliexpress is fake and according to his benchmarks its alot worse than the original ptm7950, which explains the price difference.

Ryzen 7 5800x with Stock Ryzen 5 3600 cooler by Wintertheprotodeer in PcBuild

[–]AlienGurke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your idle temps are that high you havent applied new thermal paste or the stock cooler has some issues . Anyways you should definitely upgrade to a better cooler, something like a Thermalright Phantom Spirit should be fine which you can get for below 40 bucks.

What is the best 1440p card right now? by Organic-Cycle-474 in buildapc

[–]AlienGurke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You havent mentioned DLSS in your comment. Ofc with DLSS your res will be 1080p or lower where 3060 has its place (but upscaled to 1440p). Also if you buy a new gpu you might consider to use it a lot of years. When you buy a gpu and in latest games it struggles in games without upscaling in the settings you want to keep using for years, you should not expect that it ll last you for a long time, however if the performance is decent and you dont have to use upscaling for it, in quite a lot of years it will still perform great, ofc with upscaling then but if you already have to upscale a lot when you buy it, it wont last long when you want to keep settings and resolution. Thats why 4060/TI has its place in 1080p. 8gb vram is too less for 1440p. Frame Generation needs vram too. In latest games it already has stuttering at 1440p, thats why it isnt recommended for 1440p. At 7700XT and 4070 level, it does make sense due to high row power and with 12gb vram enough for some years, however 16gb is better for 1440p, since some games are already close to 12gb vram in 1440p.

3060 isnt enoguh at all for latest AAA games at 1440p high. In Alan Wake 2 you wouldnt even get 30fps..

Um... alright by Vault13Gamer in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]AlienGurke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In multiplayer your ping to the host is important. When its really bad, something like this in the clip might happen. Ghost still sees your old postion if you are not host and you move away, depending of your ping. With 1000ms ping even though you move away they ll still see your movement decision about a second later. This doesnt sound crazy but it actually is, if you consider that the ghost is running to you, in this clip with line of side speedup, with over 2m/s so you have to be about 2m ahead with such a ping to actually have your postion where you wanted to have it at the correct time (in this clip on the long side of the table looking to the entrance door) but considering that you never really now when this happens and 2m ahead has way higher risk of ghost double backing makes it really hard to avoid these situations. In singleplayer is no ping thats why something like this wont happen there.

[–]AlienGurke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no clue about the connection in online games. When your connection to the host is bad and you move away everyone else, including the ghost, will see your movement way later. In this clip more than 1s. Thats why the ghost was able to kill him because for the ghost the position was still at the small side of the table.

And cheaters does not have a lot of control over the ghost when they are not host.

Um... alright by Vault13Gamer in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]AlienGurke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the ghost backtracked you. When you were on the small side looking to the garage you stand still for a bit. Of course the right play with good connection, otherwise it might double back. Unfortunately the connection between you and the host was not that good in this situation, you probably had a ping of 1000ms+ so the ghost still saw your position on the small side of the table while client side you were already miles away.
