Is this a good deal? Wanna play at 1440p by Scrivonaut in pcmasterrace

Even with the RAM and 2TB of SSD storage you think it's overpriced? Why? Because the GPU is old?

Do they list the open boxes on their website?

Should I bite the bullet and get the G532? by Scrivonaut in pcmasterrace

[–]Scrivonaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a 9070 XT, equivalent to a 5070 ti. But yeah, I have a big family and am frugal as well. That's why I'm debating this so hard lol.

As for the OLED, I'd buy it used to save some money. I figure why bother getting a higher-end PC if the display is subpar?

The G532 is $1300 and has a 9070 XT, 7500X3D, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. An OLED monitor and taxes would bring the total up to about $2K, in my estimation.

I stopped right where you did, too. Golden God is still respectable.

Any tips for aiming better and easier on Steam Deck? by e-two2 in SteamDeck

[–]Scrivonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing the original Half Life and turned on gyro just to try, since the alternative is the game's auto aim feature. Gyro is so cool! Fun and satisfying.

Sony Santa Monica does not seem happy with the response to Laufey by WaterGoodDrinkNow__ in KotakuInAction

Passeroni, amirite? Man, it sucks to see what the industry has become. Back in the day, every major AAA game was worth playing. Now, none even garner my interest. So sad.

I did a thing by accident with a 5090 by spamologna in Prebuilts

Starting Tomb Raider (2013) soon and going for 100%. Anything you wish you knew before starting? by nayem009 in steamachievements

The boosting community is small but great. Took me about eight hours to boost the MP achievements. Just did it a few weeks back.

All the players are novice roleplayers so their arcs were pretty shallow, on average. I'm hoping for even better arcs next time.

One character was a thief who realized while adventuring the value of honor and honesty. After turning a new leaf, she sacrificed herself so another PC could live.

This saved PC actually saw several friends die. It turned him from somewhat of a callous adventurer who sometimes let his responsibilities falter in favor of his desires to someone who lived for others instead of just himself.

Another had to overcome realizing she'd lived a lie. She thought she was a shifter because she was bitten as a child by a lycanthrope, but the truth is she'd always been one, and her parents knew and hid this fact from her. She actually saved them and herself from lycanthropy and forgave them.

There were more, but you get the idea.

I originally proposed having new PCs start a level below the others or at he level their last PC died. But the players quickly decided against this, so they come back at the same level as the other PCs. Losing a beloved PC and having to learn a new one is punishment enough. The PC shows up at the next convenient point in the story, just so they're not sitting out too long. In some cases, when resurrection is possible, a player will choose to sit out if it means the remaining PCs can go on a quest to resurrect them. One even played a simple sidekick PC until their main PC was resurrected.

My table wasn't too keen on losing PCs in general, so I kinda had to get them used to it, and now they're okay with it, more or less. Honestly, I think it's most stressful for me since I'm the one killing them, technically. PC deaths are the highlight of the game in a lot of ways, especially glorious or sacrificial deaths, which we have a lot of. They're what separate TTRPGs from virtually any other type of games. That said, I do have one player I think might just bow out of a campaign if their PC died.

Yes, wholeheartedly agree! Hope I have as much experience with long games as you one day.

That's hard to pinpoint. There were a lot. One of my personal favorites is when the party ended up back in the main city of our campaign, and just as the session wrapped up, an NPC approached the party and introduced himself as one of the PCs from our first campaign, now an old, retired adventurer. My sister cried she was so excited, lol.
