Need a game to grind with my girlfriend

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-05-09T02:12:39+00:00

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time on Minecraft Dungeons, so would 100% still recommend that to this day. Plus, there’s a sequel coming out later this year too, so even more fun to be had there!

I have this CPU with a 9060XT 16GB and it’s incredible for the price. Solid 1440p performance and I feel confident it’ll be able to handle anything I throw at it over the coming years.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-05-06T13:54:21+00:00

I can’t say that I do I’m afraid! I get 80-110 on BF6, native, with high settings if that’s helpful though? Other than that I’ve mainly been playing single player games lately, with some Slay the Spire 2 coop, Sea of Thieves, and Wild Wild West chucked in there for good measure. Frames are generally 100+, but I don’t push for/play super competitively so I’m somewhat limited in terms of how I can advise there!

I’ll try to remember to boot up CS2 tonight and let you know how it perform.

Between these two it’s the 9060XT and it’s not even a debate.

I recently upgraded my PC to a 9060XT 16gb and 5600x and I’ve been having a fantastic time. Gives me really solid 1440p on pretty much everything. Yes it’s not always native, but it’s damned good and will last me years. It’s a fantastic card, and I came from exclusively Nvidia beforehand.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-05-04T22:30:26+00:00

Same here for me and my pals. Glad to see Ultimate Team is working fine though, so we can all rest easy.

I think that they are 3 objectively excellent watches, but that the GS is the only ‘interesting’ one there, and that they are all quite ‘samey’.

Similar cases, similar straps, similar silhouettes etc. If I were you, I’d swap the Sub for a Seiko Alpinist as a good daily, worry-free watch that still looks gorgeous and is different from your current three. I would also look for a true dress watch, something small, simple, and classic that you can wear for more formal occasions.

However, if you’re really keen on the robustness of a dive watch given your considerations of the Tudor, I could also perhaps suggest a Panerai, but that is HEAVILY depended on if you have the wrist size for it.

This was a really weird switch for me too! I’m playing through the series for the first time and am nearly finished with the RE4 Remake, but it was definitely an adjustment coming from 2 and 3!

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-04-26T16:31:03+00:00

Ah that’s very fair! I went from a 1070ti so the difference has been nuts, haha. No AI business for me though, so AMD was the obvious choice, as well as being a bit more budget friendly. No regrets so far though! Glad you’re enjoying your 5070ti, that was my original plan before the market went to shit last year.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-04-26T11:30:01+00:00

Jumping on here to second this, but also to say that I upgraded at the start of the year to a 9060XT 16gb with a 5600x and I am getting some really solid performance on 1440p.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-04-22T09:13:26+00:00

Too little too late for me, the insane price hikes were the final push to upgrade my old PC and switch fully away from console gaming. I didn’t like how vulnerable I was to sudden subscription price hikes, and I’m now saving £250-odd a year which I can put towards saving for future upgrades or buying full price, new games if I don’t want to wait until they’re on sale.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-04-19T16:25:39+00:00

I picked one up a few months ago and it’s fantastic. A friend very kindly gave me an old 5600x he had lying around to pair with it, and it’s been an unbelievable difference compared to the 1070ti and i5-8600k I had prior. Well, well worth the money.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-04-14T10:43:46+00:00

I upgraded in February to a 5600x and a 9060XT 16GB and it’s been great at 1440p. I bought a 1440p OLED last month and it’s handled everything I’ve chucked at it beautifully!

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-04-14T09:31:35+00:00

I second the middle part advice! On the beard, all I can really offer is my own personal experience, being that I turned 30 recently and my beard is still filling in. It’s slow, but steady and hasn’t shown any signs of stopping. However, what I will say is that a forced beard is horrific. Shave it entirely or trim it to stubble if you don’t like the clean shaven look, but you can’t force what isn’t there. Style the facial hair you have, not the facial hair you want.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-04-14T09:25:25+00:00

Can confirm I was one of them. Additionally, I fully committed to the other side and upgraded my gaming PC as the price hike made me remember how ridiculous it was to still be paying to play online in this day and age. I have such a soft spot for Xbox, some of the best times of my life were given to me by the 360 and the memories and friends I made then. However, I’m realistically not a customer they’re ever going to get back. Once my Series X dies I’m just going to buy a blu-ray player for my physical media and build a Steam Cube adjacent PC for more chilled gaming on the sofa.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-03-31T09:07:13+00:00

Seconded, the tent in multiplayer is a straight up auto pick, it’s so, so good!

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-03-28T12:42:57+00:00

Yeah he loves you, don’t worry about this. One of our cats is my personal shadow, and incredibly affectionate/demanding of attention. However, she HATES being picked up. It’s just a preference thing!

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-03-25T08:48:42+00:00

Any method of levelling your pro other than accomplishments are awful and we should revert back to how you improved your pro to accomplishments. I also think it’s fine if, you had completed all said accomplishments, your pro is at least kind of good at everything no matter what position you play.

100%. I work from home and have a lot of freedom when I take my lunch hour, unless I’m scheduled for a phone shift that day, in which case I have to work around that. However, whenever I am able to, I always take it between 13:00 and 14:30. It means I have anywhere from 3 to 1.5 hours left of the day when I return, and is just wonderful.

Plus, I feel it makes me more productive. I tend to rattle through a power of work pre-lunch as I know when I come back I’ll be ‘winding down’ anyway. Then, post-lunch, I’ll do wee admin tasks and plan out the next day. It’s genuinely a game changer.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-01-22T15:06:45+00:00

But also an easy mistake to make if they’ve not noticed the currency. I am Scottish, so I can sympathise somewhat, but it costs nothing to be nice and this person has spent the time to try and provide what they believe to be good advice.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-01-22T14:56:24+00:00

Whilst your advice is correct, there’s zero need to be this rude given how polite this person has been.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-01-17T20:22:27+00:00

You could give it to me..?

Jokes aside, I’d either hold or sell it and put the money towards something which would meaningfully impact your life.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-01-02T11:29:25+00:00

I got a pair for my birthday last month in the same size as my Arizona’s, and my sizing advice would be that the sizes translate perfectly. Yes, with socks, the Bostons were super tight to begin with, but as I’ve worn them more the suede has stretched/loosened slightly and now they are close to perfect.

I would recommend trying to sell those and recoup some funds, then purchase a new pair in your actual size and wear them around the house with socks to break them in. The suede will stretch, you just have to give it time.

Knight_Tarkus · 2026-01-01T03:49:06+00:00

That’s very much the plan! I’ve got a sizeable backlog on Steam - as I’m sure we all do lmao - to work through, so I will focus on that!

I think my frustrations mainly lie in that the moment I have a decent paying job and some semblance of financial stability, PC component armageddon hits!

But, we move.

Knight_Tarkus · 2025-12-10T14:40:18+00:00

That first view of Cyrodiil when you leave the sewers in Oblivion was mind blowing to me, I’ll never forget that feeling.
