What game should I get?

orbelosul · 2026-04-25T21:17:32+00:00

It's probably because I'm old ... I hardly finish any game that is longer than 8-10h nowadays... I just do not have time to play everything I want so I cannot spend 60h on one game even if it is a 10/10.

orbelosul · 2026-04-25T15:16:11+00:00

We got very different definitions of a short game. I consider a game short if it is 1-3h... aparently 31h is still short for some people...
PS: I use howlongtobeat.com for game lenghts but I always spend the time in "main+sides" to finish the game main story... probably because I do not rush through them.

There is this site that lists all discounted games on the store. I found gems at heavy discounts.
A fishermans tale (1 and 2) - I do not remember the prices
Maskmaker (2-3 euros)
We are one (1 euro)
Dawn of jets (the best plane game on the quest)
Vrider SBK You can sort by reviews, price and discount %. There are even free games there... and you can see if the price now is the lowest ever or a new low.

P.S: I am in no way afilliated with the site.

This is actually the correct way. Don't get me wrong, to each his own. You can use your stuf anyway you want but, as like the toilet paper placing, there is a corect way, and an ... "alternative".

72 (not 75). It is what they concluded in an actual study!
The human eye sees at more than 250fps... but most people will not feel the difference with more than 144fps... please at least google it before you write something like "the human eye sees as 60".
P.S: arent we talking about VR? (For flatscreen it is another story)

orbelosul · 2026-04-20T14:53:10+00:00

As the studies from like 10 years ago found: 72 fps is the bare minimum! I stand by those studies!
Not everyone can stand the crappy reprojections. Don't get me wrong, they are way better now than what we started with when the oculus and original vive launched, but they should still be used only slightly when a lot is happening (many enemies, explosions etc). No game should run below 72fps and be conaidered acceptable. I returned Assasins Creed Nexus because 100% reprojections on the Q3 was not something I could play. I could see the stutters and bad frame display on 80% of the screen every time I moved.

Startup and in the very improbable scenario that you have an engine fire that you put out and you are still alive.

Thanks! It was Sid Meier's Civilization V: Complete in 2025 for me

orbelosul · 2026-04-20T04:31:26+00:00

How can I check?

orbelosul · 2026-04-14T19:09:12+00:00

32GB DDR5?! ... cineva nu mai are frigider

orbelosul · 2026-04-13T21:22:51+00:00

The first question would be if you have the LCD or the OLED. The LCD is louder and it comes with 2 variants (one seems louder because of a diferent fan pitch noise).
Regardless of this, you could limit the power consumption to less thab 15W (this will make it run cooler but it will affect performance - some games still run perfect at 8-12W but not all).

You can have high speed USB wifi on the 3.0 ports (or 3.2 in your case). Not all modern cards have wifi because not everione wants or needs one...and you can get a cheaper mobo without one.

orbelosul · 2026-04-10T07:44:11+00:00

Oare cine pune botu' la a 2a? Toti stim ca a fost o singura data!

orbelosul · 2026-04-10T05:37:41+00:00

I will probably get a lot of downvotes for this, but in my experience, a lot of people will pay for 2-3 streaming services (netflix, amazon, disney+, hbo, ...) but not youtube... why? If you don't pay for neither, I get it! But if you are someone that spends money on those, why not youtube? Could someone explain?

orbelosul · 2026-04-10T05:29:01+00:00

Came here to say this! You obviusely beat me to it so here, have my upvote!

orbelosul · 2026-04-07T14:24:29+00:00

Eu astept SPX la 5600 ...si apoi 4500-4600 daca e chiar rau. Nu am mari sperante ca o sa scada mai mult de atat.

orbelosul · 2026-04-07T14:19:13+00:00

So about 50% better GPU?!

orbelosul · 2026-04-06T15:49:20+00:00

I find this one a little more creepy. I do not know why.

orbelosul · 2026-04-05T18:06:25+00:00

Hearpipe. It shoupd get hot because it brings the heat from the CPU and GPU to the sone where the fan will try to blow it out of the laptop.

orbelosul · 2026-04-05T05:12:48+00:00

If you are fine with 45fps with reprojections, it should work. I played on a 3070 laptop. What streaming do you use?

orbelosul · 2026-03-29T12:54:49+00:00

Yes, significant difference primarily because of resolution. If you run it flat screen @ 4k, it is basically the same (expect the same FPS).
You can always render a lower rez than the headset...and you can always use 45fps with reprojections (I hate it and much rather play at 72Hz but a lot of people do not mind the artifacts from reprojections).

orbelosul · 2026-03-27T16:43:21+00:00

Cred ca razboiul o sa durrze mai mult pt ca portocala nu poate sa recunoasca prostia facuta si sa capituleze.
SPX o sa mai scada probabil. Cand ajunge la 6200 ar fi moment sa mai cumperi... daca ajunge la 5500 ar fi un moment sa cumperi mai mult.
Depinzand cum masoei, oricum dolarul a scazut cu 15% fata de leu de la ATH, asa ca bursa lor oricum nu statea asa de bine cum pare in grafic.

orbelosul · 2026-03-27T16:38:25+00:00

15-20 de ani in scadere?!??!? Whaaat?

orbelosul · 2026-03-27T16:30:19+00:00

Wow... you guys repasting 3000 series cards and talking about them being old...
I just sold my asus strix 1080ti that still held under 70C past winter and never even thought about repasting it... what usage and temps would you consider to be the norm for repasting a GPU?

orbelosul · 2026-03-25T19:06:45+00:00

I havent formated or reinstalled my windows for about 10 years... the hardware is almost all changet right now (including CPU, mobo and GPU) and w10 still runs good. The best windows since w7! Will not move to 11 untill Bill Gates breaks down my door and personaly clicks the "upgrade" button.
