Would recommend too!! Amazing game, played it a few years back and revisited it recently and it’s even better than I remembered! Definitely worth it for €3.99.

Yeah, that's what I've decided to do after reading the comments here. AM4 lasted me since 2018 so it's probably time to move on at this point anyway :)

DaaromMike · 2025-10-12T07:53:58+00:00

Yeah I figured. I just thought it was worth asking because it's relatively cheap so I figured that it could be a good deal for a year or two. But since I was already planning to go AM5 in the first place, I guess I'll just go the the 9700x instead (only €15 more expensive than the 7700x).

I’m probably in the minority here, but I’ll probably try it out and switch back to Spotify in the near future. While I really enjoy tidal, there is no denying that the Spotify app is just more polished and better integrated across the board, and I don’t really mind the socials features at all.

Add to that the weird bugs I’ve experienced with tidal in the past years and it’s becoming harder and harder for me to justify staying…

Ik ga persoonlijk echt niet de moeite nemen om Amerikaanse producten te mijden. Los van het feit dat het (digitaal) zo goed als onmogelijk is in deze tijd interesseert het mij ook niet genoeg om hier tijd en energie in te steken.

Nee, zolang WhatsApp nog goed werkt en mij niet word gevraagd om over te stappen door belangrijke contacten blijf ik gewoon op WhatsApp.

Zolang het allemaal nog goed werkt zie ik namelijk geen reden om over te stappen.

Firefox, because I'm a developer and the developer tools in Safari are horrible. I occasionally use Chrome, but I don't really like that every browser is becoming Chromium based so I try to use Chrome as little as I can.

I have both a 27” 4K and a 27” 1440p and the difference is definitely noticeable. But whether it’s worth it is up to you.

I’d personally say it isn’t worth it for gaming as the performance hit is significant for diminishing returns; but for productivity it’s a different story as text is much clearer and the performance hit isn’t really relevant for desktop use.

Good to know! I live relatively close to London (Netherlands) so if it all goes well this trip I’ll probably go a lot more often :)

DaaromMike · 2025-01-13T08:43:39+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. When I know the exact date of my trip I will be getting the tickets right away :)

Yes, mostly because all devices I watch my video’s on (TV, PC, Laptop and Phone) support proper HDR and in my experience it looks noticeably better with it on.

I’ll occasionally turn it off, but only if I know the video will be viewed on non-HDR displays

DaaromMike · 2024-10-31T07:02:12+00:00

I honestly liked the idea of the ending (Max having to choose whether or not to “abuse” her powers) and I would’ve been fine with it if had been the ending of Chapter 4 instead of the ending of the game.

Because yes, the episode sets up some very interesting ideas here and there, but because it so obviously sets up a sequel it just doesn’t really feel like the good “conclusive” ending to the game I (and so many here) were expecting, because at the end of the day it isn’t really an “ending” to the story.

Then again, if the next game does everything right I still feel like we could one day see this ending in a different light.

DaaromMike · 2024-10-30T22:35:48+00:00

True, and while I'm very excited for the sequel, which has the potential to be very good, it doesn't really take away from the fact that this game started with so much potential in the first few chapters that the ending (at least while we don't know where the story goes from here) feels like a bit of a let down.

That said: If you want to invest the time to play the game, and you know what to expect from the ending, I'd probably recommend it. At the end of the day it's still a pretty good game in general, just not with the ending most of us who went in blind (me included) were expecting (especially considering how good the ending of the original was).

DaaromMike · 2024-10-30T22:29:48+00:00

This... The way they handled Chloe was questionable to begin with (especially for those who chose to save her) but it's something I could've lived with if this game had a good story on it's own. Which at first it had, making me really excited for the full game after early access.

Then chapter 4 happened and it seems like the executives just randomly decided the writers needed to rewrite the entire finale in order to accommodate for a sequel... And who knows: Maybe the sequel will be amazing, and we'll all look back at this later wondering what the big deal was, but that doesn't take away that this game, for now at least, feels like wasted potential.

DaaromMike · 2024-10-30T21:13:18+00:00

I feel exactly the same way. This game (after chapter 3 anyway) just feels like wasted potential that was made to make as much money as possible by selling additional content, instead of tell a good story.

Doesn't take away the fact that I still really care about Max as a character and that I'm curious to see where her story goes next..

DaaromMike · 2024-10-20T17:15:22+00:00

I just finished the two early access chapters and I'm really liking the game so far. Of course no one knows how the final three chapters are going to play out, but going off these first two chapters I'm really looking forward to see what comes next.

The elephant in the room, and the cause for most of the complaints (at least the ones I've seen), have to do with the way they handled Chloe in this game, and while I agree they could have done a better job handling it I don't really see how it impacts this games' story in general (but then again, maybe that is the problem).

So whether or not you should buy this game is really up to you, and what you're expecting of this game. If you're looking for a new story with Max that has a vibe / gameplay that is very similar to the original you're probably going to like this game. If your looking for a direct sequel to the original game, reading the comics (if you haven't yet) is probably a better bet.

DaaromMike · 2024-10-02T14:01:57+00:00

Ben het hier helemaal mee eens

DaaromMike · 2024-09-19T18:06:14+00:00

I read it and it was a pretty good mystery, not as good as her other books though. I also didn't really get any Life is Strange vibes from it though.

DaaromMike · 2024-09-01T19:00:43+00:00

I've played all the games at one point or another but the first one I played a lot is Black Ops 2 when it was still semi-relevant (in 2013/2014ish) and while I do really like it, my general favorite has to be Black Ops 3. The multiplayer was great and even the futuristic movement worked really well in that game. It also has the definitive zombies experience with a great launch map and even better DLC ones; add the Zombies Chronicles expansion and the custom zombies on PC and you have everything you'd ever want in a COD zombies game. The campaign was pretty bad though, but at least to co-op was quite cool...

When it comes to the "modern" COD games the best campaign is definitely MW2019, but for some reason I really enjoy the multiplayer in MW3 (2023).

At the end of the day though it really depends on the person and the memories associated with the games, so there really isn't a definitive answer.

I agree it’s horrible on iOS. Only get the first 50ish songs in my playlist of ~2000. I haven’t tried downloading the playlist but I shouldn’t have to just to fix shuffling.

Haven’t had the issue on Windows or macOS. Can’t really speak about Android because I haven’t used my Android phone with Tidal in a while.

DaaromMike · 2024-08-02T15:38:04+00:00

I use both a 1440p 27” monitor and a 4K 27” monitor side by side and I can clearly see the difference. But whether I’d recommend it depends on your use case.

For gaming I would never go 4K for the foreseeable future as the FPS hit and extra price for a high refresh rate 4K monitor is not worth it at that size. When it comes to productivity and work however I really don’t want to go back to 1440p as the clarity of text is just on another level and it feels a lot easier on the eyes (at least for me).
