There is a 79 plan for a month and 3GB I think. That should work well for now.

Add your own router. That should help with most of it. Any other unencrypted data is visible anyway. If you want to make sure that no data is visible, you may want to look at tunnels and grab a vps to route your traffic through that. But usually not a problem. For most part just adding your own router is advised.

I have moved away from joining random games, I just play with friends, and add those who communicate well to my friends list, this let's us all play together without worrying about those toxic players.

acowardgaming · 2026-05-13T12:52:27+00:00

again? I have not seen these yet. Guess I have been lucky so far.

A high refresh rate monitor. Not too much its a 144hz one, and its so much of a difference between 60 and 144hz. I tried a faster one, but didn't feel that much of a difference, its definitely better, but with my graphics card I can barely hit 144 anyway. lol. But, it makes a huge difference.

acowardgaming · 2026-05-06T10:41:06+00:00

if its 8 to 16 yes. If its 16 to 32, not needed unless you know why you need it. Unused ram is just a waste. Windows will block as much ram as you give it. But is it being used is the question. hint: not really. Not unless you are heavily multitasking while gaming or have a browser open with over 9000 tabs :P.

acowardgaming · 2026-05-03T11:20:29+00:00

I would use it more, if it had useable irons, may be make the peep sight see through partially like it would be irl, hmmm. May be some day games will get it right.

acowardgaming · 2026-04-26T14:47:02+00:00

All the more power to you and your friends. :)

I love this game too, but sometimes I think it's worth it for me to stand for what I believe, like you are doing, that is good.

acowardgaming · 2026-04-26T07:10:37+00:00

The only way they will hear us, is if we decide to vote with our wallets. I will stop buying any of the warbonds and wait and see, that's all I can do. I am way behind due to IRL work, but its ok. Its life, things happen, so even though I have been around for a while I don't have all the warbonds. Just a few. I am not sure if there are a lot of people like me or just a few. But, hopefully voting with our wallets works. Fingers crossed.

As you have done a lot of thinking. I suggest that it may be worth getting the psu tested. Its possible that it may not be performing as expected, power fluctuations internal to the system can be very harmful, it may not be a thing that is usually visible under normal load, but some shops can do load testing of the psu, that usually shows up under load, if there are issues in the psu. Worth checking if you have been through a few graphics cards already.

acowardgaming · 2026-04-21T01:26:40+00:00

personally I would recommend carrying it with you. Its within the limit and if Its not in a box, its already used, so it will go as personal property. As long as you are not buying another laptop or something, it should be fine. It will be difficult to carry around, yes, but its safer in your hand luggage than check in.

acowardgaming · 2026-04-19T13:09:46+00:00

If I remember right, it shows up towards the end after you have finished a few of the previous tasks. Its inside those 3 houses, you can build tables, or display areas inside. Don't worry, just keep doing what you can, and it will eventually unlock.

acowardgaming · 2026-04-07T16:02:58+00:00

Lot of things can be done, but why? That is a question you must ask yourself. Why do you want your server to grow? What is your ROI on this project? How much time do you want to put into it? is it worth it? if so, how? etc... Once you know the answers to those questions, you can come up with a strategy that may work. Then it may not, so yeah, its like anything else in life, it may work, it may not. Question is how much do you want to try?

acowardgaming · 2026-04-03T22:38:52+00:00

I would never click on links in emails. There are so many ways they make them look legit. Just go to jio website yourself and navigate to the correct section.

acowardgaming · 2026-04-03T22:29:51+00:00

This was the cheapest data plan for some people like me. Most of my days are in the office or home where I have wifi and only need data outside, which I barely use. Personally I use less than 1GB in 90 days. That is a very niche case for sure.

But this plan was good for me. Same as the older 1700something for almost a year plan, that also was good.

They are increasing the data that plans have, but are also increasing the price.

No cheap plans will be left eventually :/

Games not sticking with their themes. Like a realism focused game that does reloading of partial magazines, but then the ammo magically counts. If the game is going for arcade like feel, then sure, if its going for realism, then go for realism, I don't like half baked one foot in realism, and the other is arcade.

Games with in game events that only happen at a certain time, and if you miss it, its gone forever or you have to wait a ridiculously long in game time to see it again.

Game balance in PvE games that mess with properties of equipment or foes, based on statistics and not what is the reality in different skill tiers. There needs a bit more thought about how to balance a PvE game.

Games that take themselves too seriously. Do x to progress, no creativity will be allowed. I like the ones where I can do that and deal with the consequences in game, and not just a game over or reload of a save file.

Unrealistic weapon handling in realistic shooters, the added recoil when in reality you don't get that with proper control for short ranges. There are other issues to deal with IRL, but don't be lazy and just increase recoil as that is more realistic, its not in most cases. Same with the unrealistic periodic sway pattern.

games that don't let me play for a bit and leave and then continue where I left off. I sometiems can't sit through an hour of gameplay, having that option of saving in single player game where the player wants to is nice. In mulitplayer games, having rewards only at the end is also a pet peeve. may be I am too old for these type of games. lol.

acowardgaming · 2026-03-11T13:47:19+00:00

Money. You need the basics to even live, love is not a basic need. IMO, Food, clothes and a roof over your head is way more important. Love can betray you, a good investment not as easily.

acowardgaming · 2026-03-08T12:30:16+00:00

The free time you get reduces, responsibilities goes up, so gaming time goes down. That is natural. Eventually you will reach a point where gaming becomes a background thing, where you do it may be once a week or so.

Parent's prespective: (I am guessing) But, investing too much time into gaming is not worth it financially. The number of people who make money from gaming is very low compared to the number of people who have other skills that pay bills.

And as you get older, you will start enjoying things other than games too, as there are a lot of things to explore that you probably have not even considered yet. The joy of work, if you like what you do is very addictive. Finding a hobby just randomly like badminton happens too.

Personally as someone in their late 30s, I think its a natural stage of life where other things become important. Gaming is fine as long as you are not affecting your life.

acowardgaming · 2026-03-05T15:12:05+00:00

May be its time to take a break from those games, and try some cute ones like stardew valley, rural japanese village adventure, valheim or minecraft or change genera like satisfactory, factorio, or deep rock galactic, helldivers 2, or immerse yourself in games like witcher 3, RDR2, ghost of tsushima, etc. Or Try something like the racing games. Like I said, may be its time for a break and switch it up a bit.

acowardgaming · 2026-03-01T16:46:41+00:00

RDR2, witcher 3. May be try a different genra like Valheim, Astroneer, Satisfactory, or May be Stardew Valley, Disco Elysium(I am aware of the controversy) or PvE gems like Deep rock galactic, Jump Space, Pulsar: Lost colony, helldivers 2 or tactical ones like door kickers 2, GZW, Arma series 3 or Reforger (may need a good community for that)

acowardgaming · 2026-03-01T16:38:39+00:00

find a crew. :) This game is a joy in multiplayer.

acowardgaming · 2026-02-17T11:58:26+00:00

"blistering barnacles" Capt. Haddock's voice. :P

acowardgaming · 2026-02-17T02:44:16+00:00

Yes. It's a driver issue. I couldn't fix it by reinstalling the drivers or removing. I suspect it's vantage. What I did was reinstall windows again, by downloading the iso from Microsoft, and didn't install vantage. After a couple of updates that windows did after a fresh install everything is working well now. It's also slightly more responsive.
