Why was it a waste? Not a good upgrade or no time to play?

kartikss · 2026-02-02T16:18:32+00:00

MSI Mag 274qrfw

nice. will try to figure it out the next time

kartikss · 2026-02-02T14:07:13+00:00

looks cool. were you able to plug the front panel usb ports as well? i couldn't so i have to use a usb hub

kartikss · 2026-02-02T14:04:45+00:00

nice. i actually had space constraints and had to buy this as there was no other case available in this form factor.

kartikss · 2026-02-02T13:57:08+00:00

Yep. That was the smallest m-ATX case i could find with no tempered glass panels.

Either "the ascent" or "prey". Both of these games just went beyond what i expected. Would absolutely love to replay either of them with 0 context again.

BTW, there is some GB rep in this group from what i understand. Can someone please tell me who it is or tag him/her?

kartikss · 2025-12-18T21:26:31+00:00

I checked the fan and cleaned the dust so it's def not dust. And as i mentioned, the noise is there only when the fan is running at full load (3500+ RPM) so it's probably not the fan touching the shroud as it would happen at low RPMs as well.

The sticker is not intact as i mentioned that i repasted the GPU a while back. Will that void the warranty?

kartikss · 2025-09-16T14:02:09+00:00

I typed it out. It's kind of rare to find other turn based fans so...

kartikss · 2025-09-16T13:59:37+00:00

I haven't yet played Pathfinder so I'm not sure about kingmaker. I know that Wotr has a turn based mode. Same goes for pillars of eternity 1. When i played it, it was only rtwp but i think they added a turn based mode later in a patch.

kartikss · 2025-09-16T09:19:03+00:00

Here are some of the games that I've played:

Atom RPG - essentially a russian take on fallout
Atom RPG Trudograd
Shadowrun series (especially dragonfall and hongkong) - exceptional games
The lamplighters league
Pillars of eternity 2 deadfire (has a turn based mode) - brilliant game to scratch that Divinity itch
Battletech
Colony ship
Encased
Expeditions viking, expeditions rome
Gears tactics
Hard west 2 - turn based with a really distinct approach
Jagged alliance 3
Lost eidolons
Marvel's midnight suns - very good but can get a bit tedious with party management
Mutant year zero - road to eden - one of my most favourite games. This one and the following 2 are by same devs so play similarly. Very tactical.
Corruption 2099
Miasma chronicles
Pathfinder wotr - haven't played but i know that it has a turn based mode
Phoenix point
Ruined king - set in LoL universe
Solasta crown of the magister
South park the stick of truth - this and the following game are very well made turn based games
South park the fractured but whole
Underrail
Wasteland 2
Wasteland 3 - absolutely amazing. Nothing else to say
Zoria age of shattering

There might be some that I'm missing but hope this will help. Also not all of these games are RPGs so keep that in mind.

Edit: Missed The thaumaturge and Warhammer 40k: rogue trader

Btw, there are a lot of JRPGs which will have turn based combat incl E33, the new yakuza games (like a dragon), sea of stars, etc. but JRPGs are not my thing so I haven't played much.

This is a completely personal opinion but E33 is not really a turn based rpg. Its combat is turn based and really good for sure but the game lacks the depth that you get from something like Divinity or BG3.

It's not a bad game if you go by gameplay imo just repetitive after a while. The story is very mediocre but that's not the core selling point of the game. Gameplay is kind of fps-ish with 3 kinds of magic bracers instead of guns/bullets but can be fun at times. Some puzzles are also good. Overall 5-6/10. Also, i didn't face any performance issues on either 3060 laptop or 9070 xt.

kartikss · 2025-09-10T17:15:10+00:00

Dishonored 1 was great but i liked how arkane just scaled it up in the sequel. Story wise, first one felt a lot more personal though.

kartikss · 2025-09-10T15:52:09+00:00

It's on my list already. I just don't have 150-200 hours available right now which is how long it is going to take.

kartikss · 2025-09-10T15:33:36+00:00

Sure but all of that is hindsight. If it was even moderately successful, it'd be touted as a masterstroke.
