I hope you're right. I'm future proofing anyway by preferring DRM-free stores when possible.
Sure that's reasonable at the moment. And while it seems Gaben would never sell out, he is going to die at some point. What's going to happen to steam / valve after that?
GOG enabled regional pricing several years ago.
Personally I enjoy the complicated character building of Grim Dawn way more than the item hunting. This also means I will play a host of characters and eventually complete item sets and have the resources for crafting after half-completed character number 86. For me the grinding is mostly a test on the efficiency of my build.
Maybe look into Warhammer: Chaosbane. It has a point system that superficialy looks similar to Grim Dawns devotions or Path of Exile, but in reality it's super simple. And while you do collect items, they don't matter as much as in other ARPGs. The flip side is that it's kinda hard to fail because the game is so simple.
Maybe it's just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI
Coppelius is absolutely awesome. You get a theater-like show while they play headbanger after headbanger. Understanding German is a must though.
It's not just that characters make stupid decisions, the same characters keep making the same mistakes and nobody ever learns from those mistakes or grows as a character. It's so extremely frustrating.
The point is that an email address that is not in use except once to create that epic account is worthless to whoever buys it.
Well if they can turn fakeaccount53643@yahoo.com into money they honestly deserve the 50 cent they're getting for it.
How did you get started in the industry and would you recommend it as a job?
No, all performance-related GPU settings are at default (and I already tried a factory reset through the driver install). Temps seem stable at ~70 after an hour of Grim Dawn, but I'll keep the overlay with the metrics on for a while.
I didn't find such a setting but the fans are definitely running at more than 0 RPM once there is any GPU utilisation. But I'll check out the CPU game mode.
Everything was on default. I'll lower the values and see if that helps. Thanks!
I got a used PC from a friend, it works perfectly fine most of the time. But some games crash unregularly but reproducibly. When a crash occurs sometimes my screen just goes blank, other times I get a popup from the AMD driver saying "AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occured on your system."
Here are the specs: Graphics: MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT (driver version: 23.12.1, but I also tried several earlier versions) Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Mainboard: Asus Prime X570-P RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX, 2x8GB OS: Win10
Some games crash more than others, for example: GrimDawn crashes after a few minutes. TitanQuest runs for at least an hour. Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous (and Kingmaker) crashes after a few hours. Turbo Overkill crashed once (9 hours playtime so far). Neverwinter Nights 2 crashes almost immediatly if it isn't the first game I play after a reboot. Stellaris minimizes and I get the usual driver popup but continues to run fine afterwards (solid coding I guess). A lot of other games sometimes crash. But there are a also games that never crashed for me including: Deep Rock Galactic, Factorio, Redout and Tyranny. Older games tend to crash less than newer games, other than that I didn't really find a pattern in what games crash and which games run fine.
My friend says he never noticed any crashed, and given how some games are fine and how long even affected games can run before crashing I believe him.
I suspect the graphics card has some kind of fault, but is there any way I can verify that before I get a replacement? I already tried several GPU benchmarks, all ran through without a crash.
Can't speak for BruceTwarzen, but I'm from a fairly large city in Germany and I don't personally know any religious people. Side rant: Which makes the various privileges the catholic church gets all the more puzzling and annoying to me.
Is JavaScript a serious language? /s
Joking aside: One of Brendan Eich's books probably contains something resembling a style guide.
Since you specifically mentioned C# : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/coding-conventions
I'd be surprised if there is a serious language that doesn't come with at least some semi-official style guide. But usually they are not universally followed and everybody just does their own thing.
You're not gonna like this but, some unique tech that makes a game look 5% better isn't making the experience better than access to mods, or being able to play 30 years old games on the same machine as a new game, or being able to play on mouse+keyboard. Especially considering games that "exploit the PS5 capabilities" tend to be formulaic AAA games featuring gameplay mechanics that got boring 2 decades ago.
