I’ve been crushing maggot-filled mutant satanist-skulls.
The latest patch for Darktide finally made it functional for me.
If I cap it at 60 fps it does not crash every 20min anymore.
Darktide really did not like my Ryzen 9 3900x and rtx3080 “ufo rated” rig.
But now it works at least, and it’s fun.
Maybe a bit boring maps though.

100% svensk här och jag har samma problem.

Nice!
I’ve always been an Intel guy. But I have owned two AMD computers over the years. Both of those gave me a very unstable experience.
High performance, but unstable.
My latest pc is a Ryzen 9 3900x computer, and im definitely going back to Intel next time.
My ryzen is very warm (which makes the fans become loud, first time I’ve had to switch to liquid cooling to be able to be in the room) and I’ve had a very unstable experience overall. Had to fiddle with energy settings and stuff to get it running properly.
There has been several new games where I had to wait to even be able to play them due to crashes or inexplainable low performance.
Darktide for example, still crashes for me, while my buddies old Intel pc’s runs it great and no issues. Totally missed out on that game as they are now done with it.

Sorry for rant, but Im quite frustrated with this pc.

WWN is free, so I highly recommend!
I’ll be happy if you at least take a quick look at other ttrpgs. :D

DnD is obviously the most famous one by far. The problem is that it’s so famous, most people don’t think that there are in fact other games out there, often with newer ideas and better design, faster and easier mechanics that does not get in the way.

There is also different styles to consider.
The combat focused every PC is an unkillable superhero powertrip style fantasy, like DnD5e and Pathfinder.
The lethal think before you act type old school style fantasy.
The narrative Powered by the Apocalypse style games.
The investigative thriller type GUMSHOE and Call of Cthulhu games.
Etc etc.

Im running my favorite of all time game Delta Green (great podcast here if you want to listen) as the main game right now and Forbidden Lands in between, for our fantasy fix. Great games as well!

I run a ttrpg Delta Green campaign between Cyberpunk 2077 on pc.

Do Worlds Without Number instead of DnD. Trust me.
I also started with DnD and slowly realized it’s not a very good ttrpg.
You’ll see when your players start sighing deeply everytime combat starts because everyone knows that this will take the whole evening.

Tänker likadant.
Tittar på Areon och Malmstolen 4000 nu.

Imagine if Rockstar did a superhero game.
With their satire style on it. Like The Boys style.
Open world, some destructive environment, a deep character creator.

I could not bring myself to finish Starfield. Such an old feeling generic janky game. Fucking fast travel simulator. They didnt even bother to fix the NPC faces. Like 5% technical improvements since Fallout 4.
Fuck that expensive crap.

Also looking forward to the Cyberpunk update.
Now maybe I can enjoy it. Love that world but I think I had every bug at release.

Playing:
Remnant 2, really fun!
Doorkickers 2, a new update came out with new missions I have to conquer!
Hell Let Loose got better again with the latest update, so I play that if I have the energy to shout orders into my mic (because no-one wants to be squad leader).
Sons of the Forest is coming along nicely.

Stopped playing:
Gave up on Starfield. What a mediocre janky game with generic story. Frustrating and time consuming menus. It’s not massive at all. It’s just big empty rooms behind loading screens. There has been like 5% technical development since Fallout 4. They didn’t even bother to fix the mannequin NPC faces for their game “that has been in development for 12 years” or whatever.
I cannot fathom how some people swallow that stuff and goes “10/10 game of the century” and pay 80€ for it.
Sorry for rant.

Looking forward to:
Cyberpunk 2.0
The infantry combat overhaul for Squad.

It’s what you see like 70% of the game.

But not 800m in atmosphere to skip a uneventful hike.

Why would it have to take hours?
You already spend hours jogging on the empty planet surface in Starfield, because you cannot use your ship to fly 800m east to your mission marker.

God forbid we hope for technical improvements in 2023, for 80€.

Alright. In text maybe you are right.
Im a firm believer that if we like, sat in a bar discussing over a beer, and you could hear the tone of my voice and read my face, no-one would be offended.

It’s kind of difficult to explain this without telling you the whole thing.

Here goes…
Build outpost randomly.
Meet Bounty Hunter in close-by container.
Bounty Hunter asks for help with bandits, and to meet 1km east.
I get a marker on my map and on HUD.
I think “fuck, im not running 1km.”
I go back to my ship and open map.
I put my landing marker close to mission marker.
Click to fast travel.
Loading Screen.
Ship lands.
Get out of ship.
Look around. It’s a whole different map.
No marker on HUD.
Think “wtf”.
Fast travel back to my outpost.
My mission is there again.

Why did you think that was an insult?
Well, I guess everything can be insulting you try hard enough.

People seem sensitive here.
Getting their panties in a bunch because I asked myself if I was insane.
Never heard of that before.

Dude, just let me question my own sanity if I want to.

What you can do for 90% of quests is go to the planet map, click a new landing zone and land closer, skipping any exploration the game is trying to encourage.

This didn’t work for me. If you do this, a new instance is loaded and my mission does not show up.
