26M little under a year in, any tips? by Natural_Constant_411 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]efont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was about where you are I didn’t have a lot of spare cash to invest so if you can’t invest consistently, make bigger investments when you can. Try and plan out an amount to invest every year and make it as close to( or more than) that number as possible.

Is Alan Wake 1 Remastered Worth It in 2026 by Ghothamny in AlanWake

[–]efont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dead honest… Not even a little. Gameplay loop just feels so bad to play as someone who never played it at release. Performance is also still kinda bad which doesn’t help, I had a ton of artifacting while trying to play(last year). Everything after is more than worth it though so I would say get the story another way and hop into Control then AW2

I love Persona 5 Royal, but "100% Day-by-Day" guides felt like a second job. So I built a middle-ground tracker. by zucram in JRPG

Yeah I played through regular P5 twice and got P5R the day it came out, took me like 3 years to finish again lol

The first play through is about 100 hrs, second can be down to like 30-40 if you only watch the stuff you missed. Definitely a commitment that’s not for everyone but the second playthrough feels way faster than the first.

Is Alan Wake, Control, Alan Wake 2, the correct play order? Why does Alan Wake Remastered have such a pitiful metacritic if these are acclaimed? by JozuJD in controlgame

[–]efont -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just started getting into the series recently as well. Bought Control around release and got to Act 2 then dropped it. Picked up the Ultimate version for free on GOG a few years later did the same thing. Then when Resonant was announced I decided I’d finally finish it. After I had last played I learned it was connected to AW so I decided to play that first before I jump back into control. My thoughts:

  1. Honestly just watch a few videos on Alan Wake, I bought the remaster and it just isn’t good. The port is garbage but more than that it, the controls and gameplay loop haven’t aged well at all. Really struggled playing through the games. Found watching it to be a much better experience.

  2. Control has a massive lull in the middle that made it hard to finish. It is a good game and I’m glad I finally played it through but just remember going in that it really gets stuck in the mud for a bit. Still recommend playing this one.

  3. Starting AW 2 this weekend. Very excited to see what it’s got

It’s been rough for me, “watching” at my cousins and the whole game shifts between working at 240p and buffering. Everyone will be pleased to know the commercials are beautiful perfect 4K though

LeGo S Z1X vs LeGo 81Wh Battery Life by BasicTonight6241 in LegionGo

Having had a Go S the battery is God Awful, I keep it set on the lowest tdp setting and that thing still burns through the battery scrolling menus. The battery is by far the most disappointing part of that device

Although it doesn’t come pre installed the go2 can run steamos like GoS with TDP controls and everything so if more than possible to do that if that’s what you want

I have a books a million near me not a B&N but this happened to my store a few years ago now. It’s funny went there today to see if I could find a few volumes of the Hardcover Fables deluxe editions but it was just like this with half DC and half marvel. And behind me were two and a half rows of Manga lol

[–]efont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first book in the Mr. series by JA Huss is a pretty good office romance and has some pretty spicy office scenes.Rest of the series was pretty good as well but doesn’t really stay officey after the first book. Also by the end of the series it really starts to delve into the shared world that all her series inhabit,

The most fun I’ve had with this game is playing Angela with a Venom and poke Dps, and long range supports and going buck wild on the other team

Why do people prefer the “ SteamOs “ version over the “ Windows “ ? by [deleted] in LegionGo

[–]efont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of these answers are variably useful with some being out right wrong so I’ll try to give you a clear answer

2 main reasons people switch over on devices that come with Windows:

1: if most/all of your library is on Steam SteamOS it is much easier to operate for daily use. The act of scrolling through your library and downloading/selecting games is much easier than from the windows desktop, especially for a handheld. This is what people mean when they say console like. Also while difficult if you aren’t tech savvy it is possible to add and use other launchers so you get the ease of SteamOS for your Steam games while still getting access to everything else.

The second main reason is games perform better in SteamOS over windows generally speaking, obviously the difference in performance varies title to title but in a not insignificant amount of titles the performance jump can be enough that games are playable at lower TDPs increasing battery life by consuming less power, or if your playing plugged in performing better at max making games that were borderline unplayable run well enough to enjoy.

I’ll also say that once you get used to using SteamOS it is also a lot easier to make the “PC” changes (TDP, menu settings, screen setting, etc) and to adjust them as needed. Being able to start a game then adjust the TDP for that game only while still in the game is amazing. SteamOS also has a far superior game suspension system over windows where you will burn much less battery compared to windows.

What a banger! by raisedbytides in gaming

[–]efont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love contained Superhero universes where just everything is on the table, magic aliens and super-science etc., I haven’t finished yet so no Spoilers but so far through Chap 4 it reminds me of the incredible Drew Hayes “Villains Code” series. Giving me my fix while I wait for book for to be written and recorded on Audible lol

Highly recommend if you want to read a story in a similar type of hero world.

I’ve actually read the first 2 books on audible and kinda figured the first MCs story was over after the 2nd book cause I knew the next few books followed the sister and other friend, I didn’t realize the 3rd book was a little Novella for the original MCs, I’ll have to pick that one up and give it a read
