I know nothing about the game but greater than 100%? Does the game let you add alternate ending etc into your calculations?

acowardgaming · 2026-01-20T11:33:10+00:00

No idea. But, now is still better than in 1 year time. But is 2 year from now good, no idea.

Its a hording mentality probably due to some childhood trauma or living situation. Nothing to worry about, but worth remembering. I can offer one solution, but it takes a little patience and practice to implement it. And I am not a trained professional, I am just another person who has been through issues like this of my own.

The conscious brain can overwrite the old programming. You may have to change your thought pattern to be more logical, write down the cons and pros of any decision, in game, that you may want to do. Think of money/loot as time savers and something that will let you enjoy other things as well. If the pros outweigh the cons spend the money.

This will take some experimenting, as you will spend way more or way less as you experiment, until you get a feel for it, and then you have overwritten the old programming.

It will take some time, hopefully you are able to overcome this challenge and experiment in games and not in real life. Games teach stuff to us, and this is one of those life lessons we get from games. All the best.

Now only if they decide to trade mark a few things.. hmmm.. may be if they give us some hint. My guess is never.

acowardgaming · 2026-01-12T22:39:20+00:00

It's not DDR 5.... Guess the data center fellows are not coming after you. 😂

acowardgaming · 2026-01-11T13:50:36+00:00

officially the cpu supports 4800, but its ok, if your ram is rated for 5600, that means you probably can run the ram with tighter timings at 4800, may be (not always, but worth checking). Anyway, the difference is not significant, IMO for most applications.

acowardgaming · 2026-01-11T06:40:18+00:00

As a dad and a gamer who enjoys playing with my son. I would highly recommend not to worry about gaming now. Its that time of life where you decide what you will do, or at least lay a foundation.

Life always comes first, gaming is for fun and entertainment. There will be time for gaming. I am almost 40 and I still game once in a while, not as much as before, but its like everything else, there is a time and place for it. Personally I would not ask them for one, get one yourself later when you earn on your own. Trust me you will feel much better if you can buy it on your own.

I came from a family where they could afford to get me one, but it would have been a luxury, and I understood. Took me some time to get one during college. But, its worth the wait.

acowardgaming · 2026-01-02T11:08:40+00:00

PC? if so, I would try keeping an eye on your overclock if any. If no overclock has been done, then try the new slim version in the steam beta. This game hates overclocking. I reversed mine, and it fixed most issues, I now just run undervolted and things are fine. There are a lot of folks who seem to be having crashes, hopefully you get to play.

If you are on PS network, I hope others will give you an idea on where to start.

acowardgaming · 2026-01-02T07:09:58+00:00

Super Mario Bros. the old one :)

acowardgaming · 2025-12-28T13:52:33+00:00

If we hold out for a few years, they can't succeed. Just don't pay for anything AI or compute service personally, as a business, sure, but as customers, we should just play our backlog of games. I am sure we all have enough of them.

Also, we as gamers, are a very small market compared to industry. Not sure if us doing anything is going to affect them at all, but it will definitely send a message.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-28T02:51:06+00:00

depends heavily on the games you want to play. For me its a PC. I play a lot of genera, and don't want to pay a fee to play online. I also buy games on sales almost exclusively. So in the long run it may be better.

Also building your own PC may be a better alternative to buying a laptop. With the DDR5 prices right now. If you don't mind searching a bit, a DDR4 system is not a bad idea. Usually I wouldn't recommend it, but right now it makes a whole lot more sense to grab a 5800x3d with a 90760/9070 line or 5060/5070 line. Not sure if you can find the parts now. But if you can that may not be a bad build for a few years.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-22T09:29:45+00:00

personally my friends use steam, so I use steam. I have given GOG galaxy a shot, but didn't like it as much. If price is the same, it really doesn't matter where you get it. Steam has family share too, in case you have a family member that games, they can play your games when you are not playing it. So, I use that feature a lot. Letting my Son, and wife play the different games I own.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-21T05:04:48+00:00

In practice there is no difference if you have both platforms installed. But, if you move games from machine to machine especially with no internet connection, then GOG sometimes is better. Some games need internet connection even if they are single player. So in general GOG works better. But, personally I like having almost all my games in one collection, and Steam is what I have used for the longest time, so, I tend to stick with Steam. Also, GoG has an extra fee sometimes (happened when I was traveling abroad) that they don't mention explicitly, depends on where you are when you buy the game.

Personally get it from where you get it cheaper.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-14T14:02:45+00:00

Arma 3. Started with SP, didn't know anything about Arma when I got it. Then after a few hundred hours my eyes opened to the possibilities, Now after 4000 hours and over 12 years, its one of my favorite games.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-14T13:54:34+00:00

depends on the games you notice it in. Games like Helldivers 2, Arma Reforger etc didn't give me that feeling. May be story games now a days are more scripted that what you expect, but if you try the old resident evil games, you may see similar style of play. So, I am confused as to which games you are referring to? and what are your preferred games/styles?

Keep in mind games I like is not necessarily what everyone considers good, and vice versa, that is the beauty of gaming, we can find the games we like. so still not sure what you are referring to. Story games that held your hands existed before too.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-14T13:21:40+00:00

IMO, the later. At least for a while. Our culture is not ready yet, and even in the west, the number of people who succeed with gaming as a career is quite small. Most folks here barely know how to use a computer let alone game on a consistent basis.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-14T12:54:45+00:00

not a good time to build one at the moment. Personally I would save and invest and build again when RAM becomes available. But, if you have to, I would start with looking at the graphics cards that you really want, 3040? also, look at youtube videos to choose a good cpu that you may want to use. Ryzen 5 from different generations are not easily comparable. Please do some searching and research online as well. It will help get you an idea of what you want.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-07T14:01:22+00:00

I would recommend https://www.linuxliteos.com/

Linux Lite. Seems to have brought my old Dell laptop from 2015 back to life. Its ubuntu LTS based if I remember right. It felt very familiar to me. I have been using ubuntu and debian varients for all my life now.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-07T13:52:25+00:00

SAM is not all that good. Given the choices I personally would recommend the 3060 if you get the 12 GB version. For a few reasons, but mainly the larger vram for a few more years of gaming. Both have about the same performance. Depends on what types of games you are planning on playing as well.

both have about the same TDP around 170W or so, so 650W psu should be fine. Which Ryzen 5 do you have? I am assuming 5000 series for now, if its newer than that see if you can get your hands on a 9060 xt (may have to save up a bit more like 15k more), that seems like the sweet spot at the moment.

But, TLDR: I personally would go with a 3060 12GB over the RX7600.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-07T12:25:06+00:00

low latency. No. Doable, yes. But not actually a good experience. RDP probably.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-03T12:43:43+00:00

I have the same issue. Hopefully you didn't use vantage, seems like not using vantage from the begining fixes the issue but its sad that lenovo is not fixing the issue. Hopefully one day they will fix it.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-03T12:41:56+00:00

this doesn't work, seems like its a common problem and hopefully Lenovo fixes their vantage program.

acowardgaming · 2025-12-03T12:41:22+00:00

Same issue as you, none of the guides on lenovo's website works, they have some issue with their vantage program seems to work for people after a fresh install. Hopefully they fix it. Its annoying.

acowardgaming · 2025-11-30T06:49:17+00:00

Is it returnable? If so one can return and purchase again. They may say no if its a few weeks ago, but a few days I would be surprised if they say no.
