What does this mean to the game on steam? Only delisting from the shop but still downloadable? Or will it be taken from my Library? I haven’t bought it yet, because I never heard of it. But it looks fun… So maybe while the sale goes on?

Ok, I need to ask this: have you got any karina hart content in 4K? Any set of pictures or a video?

When your board owns a free pcie slot, you could also buy an extension card to use all of you m.2 ssd.

Uhm, you description sonds more like planetside than the Tribes I played…

Was willst du?

Yeah, like DNU said, something more grindy. Or something difficult. So more like PoE where you can play thousands of hours without seeing everything or knowing everything. Or like Black Desert Online with its afk mechanics. Or a game with a lot rng like dwarf fortress or rimworld.

Or speedrunning stuff. But some kind of idle… 😅 indeed unexpected.

Well maybe it is because said games are my timesinks… Even though I haven’t played any game as long as he/she did.

Wtf… The review gets a whole other dimension with this knowledge… It’s more the “help me” of an addicted now…

Do you all expect localization is tied to laws for china? I realy don’t think so. Most games are split into global and asia/chinese versions anyway. Why should they remove these mechanics when it isn’t necessary for the market they operate in?

😄 there are a few:

• Celeste -> great platformer. Maybe the best I ever played.

• Tiny Thor -> another good platformer

• Sea of Stars -> I have some mixed feelings about this. All in all a good game. The visuals are fantastic. The story is ok (so far), the music is very cool. The battle is good but to be honest, for a round based combat system it has to be compared with games like final fantasy and it is much much flatter. Once you got the basics, no suprises will be left. And this is a pity. I expected the battle system to be the heart of the game… But it seems like the visuals are. 🤔 As I said, good all in all, but not as expected.

• Brotato: This could be my game of the year 2023. Awesome game loop. Nice for a “short” round inbetween…

• Cosmoteer: Awesome game if one likes to build stuff and management aspects in games. But not as easy as it seems first.

• Ember Knights: great co-op rouge lite. Played it when it was in early access and it was great already. I should take a look into it, now it is finaly released.

I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last “story” ending was Diablo 4 and I haven’t liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending… Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it… It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃

Before this I guess it was “It takes two” and it was great.

Casette Beasts is good also.

I have something to read for you :

My Request

It is a request of me from earlier this year. The boards I mention in the opening post are no good choice. But the Asrock J500x or J5040 (the one I picked in the end) are. For my needs it is enough of everything. Even if some users here think the celerons are “heaters that can do math” ^^

On the other hand, the cpu is soldered to the board. No upgrade without switching the board either… Even the SODIMM ram needs to be replaced when switching away from an itx-board…

On the other hand, it is less energy consuming than using an old desktop cpu etc.

The pico-psu is just sweet 😊

Edit: fixed link

I dont see any problem. Even without refund, what would be the worst case?

My guess: you need to play the game with vpn set to the netherlands? Not more, not less. Or is using vpn prohibitted where you life?

Well, a solution could be, to dont buy AAA-Games. Or only games that are worth it. No hype train purchases month before release, no blind trust in big names of games or publishers or studios.

At least demos are a thing again.

Ps: don’t buy battlepasses or skins in f2p would also help I guess.

I am not from america but our youth imported your moral/ethical/politics discussion shit on games. And it is so anoying. As if any company would care about moral integrity. Have you noticed that most companies which supported pride month with a little rainbow icon did not in all the countries where this is suppressed and forbidden?

The whole purpose of most companies is to gain money. And they will do whatever is necessary and legal in countries they operate in. And it is a own “discipline” called localization to exactly knowing about their possiblities 🤷🏻‍♂️ And like others said: most companies are up to no good. Energy, gas, food, clothes, cars… Pharma…

My advice #1: play the games, pay as less as possible. My advice #2: The field of indie games is great. I rarely play AAA. But I also just care about gameplay and don’t like stories in games anymore.

Some cool games: dead cells, children of mortar, ember knights, mario kaizo hacks, path of exile (is not indie anymore but great anyways), brotato, cassette beasts, cosmoteer, rimworld, elite dangerous, hades, rogue legacy 2, noita, stardew valley, subnautica, super meat boy and so far and so on 😉

At the moment I do exactly that. Learn proxmox, omv, influxDB and tomorrow grafana comes around to play 😉

Nevertheless proxmox and omv are the difficult ones if you never used a hypervisor before. And my toughest lesson was: software raid is pretty slow. This took quiet some time to realise that this was the problem.

But it is great to have a hypervisor to play around with, test different things in containers or vms and if you mess things up, just spin up another in a few seconds and try it again. It just feels less impactfull than reinstalling all stuff on one machine.

And you learn a lot about networks along the way if you aren’t already familliar with it.

It is very satisfying to read news about a declining Ow2.

They killed my all time favourite game, that I maybe played most ever since. But 5v5 and f2p where such bad ideas. Season 1 started, I played it one more week after and quited. I miss it, but I now there is no fun in this game for me.

Looking forward to new bad news about the game.

I have written a mail to the shop and asked them how to supply the power and if it is even possible with a picoPsu. If not, I guess I will take a Asrock instead. Using a regular ATX psu only for the one connector somehow feels not purposeful 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for your answer. the picoPSU is the next point that causes headaches. I have two questions about the pico.

How to calculate how much energy is needed without knowing how much the board needs? My actual HDDs and planed parts are:

• 2x 6TB WD Red WD60EFAX -> and I found the use 5.3W under load what means even with four of them they only need 21,2W
• a NVME like the WD Blue SN570 with max consumption of 3,75W
• a fan (maybe an be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm) for the case with round about 4W by max Speed sums up to 27,95W But the information about the power consumption for the board is missing.

It seems like a 80 watts picoPSU should be sufficent. What I don’t understand is, how can I supply the power with this psu when it is a 24-pin ATX but the board needs only 4-Pin-ATX?

Ah ok. Asrock is now an option too. Knowing they can handle 16gb of ram is a game changing information. It was the single argument against them. Because the price is much better.
