  • 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash

    Jump

  • I'm in the same boat. And borderlands is way better than destiny 2 in my opinion. I really love the gameplay of 3 and 4. I can see myself easily getting my money's worth out of it.

  • I've got a 6800xt and it runs really well on medium settings. Looks pretty good as well. Never had the game crash on me either. It's 60fps but I'm cool with that. Gameplay feels smooth at that and it's steady. No upscaling no frame Gen. 3440x1440.

    I have heard a lot of people are having issues with Nvidia hardware though.

  • 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash

    Jump

  • My mid range 4 year old PC must be hella premium. Because I've had no issues playing it.

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August September 7th

    Jump

  • Quite a bit of northgard with my wife. But I have really been wanting to goof off in Abiotic Factor with my friends. It's been hard to get together. Curse getting older and having other priorities!

  • Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened | VGC

    Jump

  • I thought borderlands 2 was great, but I spent more time playing 3. I'm excited to play 4 but there isn't a chance in hell I'm buying it day one. I want to see what the general reaction to it is before I spend my coin on it.

  • What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?

    Jump

  • And I'm cool with that! But my kidneys won't let me enjoy red meat so let's do lab grown tuna or chicken!

  • What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?

    Jump

  • I would rather eat a meal that doesn't pretend to be meat and just be it's own tasty thing. I don't need a steak, but I do want a delicious savory thing.

  • Alternatives to Twitch and YouTube for livestreaming gaming?

    Jump

  • If you wanted to you could host your own server with Owncast.

    Owncast

    I set one up on an old laptop and it worked well enough the few times a mucked around with it.

  • what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? [close this topic maybe?]

    Jump

  • Having a 6 and 8 year old is very time consuming! The good news is I have 2 nights a week of D&D which gets me a bit of social time. Though not face to face.

  • what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? [close this topic maybe?]

    Jump

  • Depends. I find making new friends very difficult because I don't have many of the same interests and the rest of the people that I naturally get exposed to via my kids, wife or life. I work from home and don't have much time for social hobbies. I go to concerts sometimes but I really struggle to make conversation with strangers. I can see how someone like me would end up being lonely for a long time.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • Endeavour OS! So far it's been smooth for the past 4 years. I've enjoyed it.

  • What's your Nerf?

    Jump

  • Mine is I have IgA Nephropathy!

  • New expansion "Visions of Eternity" announced!

    Jump

  • I sure enjoyed the last few. A new elite spec will be nice as well. Might get me into playing a different class!

    Jump

  • I love these posts and always look forward to them. Take care of your health! As someone who recently found out my health and lifestyle are about to change drastically. You absolutely need to make sure you take care of you.

    Jump

  • I really liked the book. I look forward to the movie!

  • What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?

    Jump

  • I love my Kobo Clara. I've read more in the past few years of ownership than I did the 10 years before. Plus I have a calibre-web server that it syncs with so I don't have to manually move things over.

  • This new game Jump Ship looks interesting

    Jump

  • It was ok. It felt like it needed something. The basic ship was clunky feeling to fly and the weapons felt mediocre. The enemies didn't feel fun to fight either. But it was fun with my friends. But I think that was spending time with them more than the game was. I walked away from the game not disliking it, but not having any particular interest in playing any more of it.
