[Meta] Should we consider moving this community to another instance?
  • B0NK3RS B0NK3RS 2d ago 80%

    It's just not worth it. This one has 800+ users and moving it will get nowhere near as many to join. Also all instances have their problems so personally I don't avoid them completely and just block stuff as I see it.

    I would look for an RTX 20xx series GPU and then upgrade the RAM if you can.

    It's not boring me to sleep. I just mean that I'm only reading before bed now to help me relax and get to sleep.

    I'm still using reading mostly as a means to fall asleep but I finished Slow Horses on the weekend. Even after watching the TV series the books are very enjoyable.

    On to the next one!

  • Can anyone help decide what to upgrade?
  • B0NK3RS B0NK3RS 1w ago 100%

    Of the two options given it is definitely option 1.

    Personally I would consider an AM4 build if parts are available for cheap in your country.

    Yes it is.

    I can see why you felt that but all the characters in both games are so wonderful that to me it was the opposite feeling.

    I'm tired of every game being live service
  • B0NK3RS B0NK3RS 2w ago 85%

    It's easy to avoid the worst offenders. Also "live service" is a very broad term and covers a lot.

    One aspect that I really don't like is when games just seem to hang on too long with updates and/or DLC. Be proud to finish the game and move on to something new (looking at you The Long Dark...)

    The question can be asked for most things in life really so just do both options. Generally I'm a "value for money" gamer now but If something catches my eye I will make an effort to support it.

    What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?

    The Murderbot Diaries are some of my favourite novellas. They are a lot more interesting than the title may suggest too so highly recommend.

  • Which is better: Gran Turismo or Ridge Racer? (PS1)
  • B0NK3RS B0NK3RS 1mo ago 100%

    Very different games but I would say Gran Turismo is better.

    I do like Rage Racer more than both of these though.

  • One hell of a line-up for next year!
  • B0NK3RS B0NK3RS 1mo ago 100%

    It really would be the perfect way to leave Ducati.

    I wasn't a big fan of him either but this year I've changed my mind. I noticed more about him and the closeness with Aleix and do feel for him being overlooked for the factory team. It's all fuel for the fire though so I hope he can show them.

  • I'm getting quite excited for next year with all the teams/drivers now confirmed.

    Steep is such an under appreciated game. I dont think it sold well so was often dirt cheap but it's a beautiful chill experience.
