Does look cool. This is one I'll have to keep an eye on. Thanks for the article!

Still one of my favorite games. I'm interested to see how it all works, especially the implants part, that's really cool

The other features kinda reminds me of some already existing mods, but with suck a popular game, there's bound to be some overlap.

Definitely gonna spend money on this.

I won't lie on this one though.... I'm not sure how many get emails from GOG, but the title of this one was something like:

GOG GIVEAWAY . SKYRIM SE....

I totally thought they were giving away Skyrim!! I want until I opened the email that I realized they were meant to be separate titles.

Haven't felt that silly and disappointed in a while, lol

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Yay i guess would of been way more amped for this if it would of happened say in 2012 a year ater the game came out but now reached that point where i know every area of the map I can be level 24/25 before leaving whiterun hold and without cheating maxed out blade and armour. But if you ve never played it seems unlikely but if you ve never played it great time to get it.

I've never played it.

Reason: I have doubts Vanilla Skyrim would be better than nicely modded Morrowind. And mods on Linux aren't exactly easy to do for this series, so I never bought it.

If I can ever motivate myself to finish Witcher 3, maybe I'll buy it. I wont have the time to play like when I was able to play Morrowind, but maybe it'll be fun.

Quoting: denyasisI'm definitely interested. But I want to see some good solid benchmarks. I know Ray tracing is all the rage, but I'd really like to see how it compares to cards from the last few years in general gaming.

If it's a good step up from, say my 1070ti and has a decent cooler, at that price, that's an upgrade I can afford!

I would say don't count on ray tracing just yet. I was trying Quake the other night and was getting around 500fps without ray tracing on my RTX 3060 laptop. After switching on ray tracing that went down to around 50fps. This was on FHD screen. On a WQHD (3440x1440) that number went down to around 25fps. So, the penalty you pay for RT is still pretty large and can probably only be afforded on RTX 40 series or something. If you have a big screen (big TV for example) then 4K resolution + higher frame rate gives you better payoff than ray tracing.

Thanks for the info! I must offer my apologies as well. I realized my post was not written well. I'm not really interested in ray tracing, but more general purpose gaming benchmarks. I should have been more clear now what I look at it. Ray Tracing is neat and all, but like you indicated, the tech doesn't really seem ready for general use.

I think it looks nice. I'm a bit partial to the red and pink ones. I think it would go well with my furniture (splash off color can't hurt)

I had to look..
In 2016, the MSRP of a 1080TI, was $499 (that was harder to find than I thought it would be, so I may be a bit off). In 2022, that would be about $615-$620.

I'm pretty sure my last build cost as much as a 4090... And I'm relatively sure it can still run anything released now or for the next few years, lol.

Side now, how would you cool that? I have enough trouble keeping my 1070Ti cool in my little itx case....

Yeah, at least in my town, I kinda think they used CBD as a bit of a rebranding thing. Downtown had a negative connotation as I guess in the 70's and 80's it was blighted. I remember when I moved here, some people were surprised I lived downtown and I regularly ran into older people that would refuse to go downtown.

Quoting: voxI can't get out of my head the sad story of Star Ruler 2 developers. It was not an easy game to jump into, because they innovated on the 4x/grand strategy formula and made a bunch of systems and game mechanics that were never seen in this genre as far as I know. And once it clicked, it was (and still is) the best game that I've played in this genre.

wishlisted this, I like the genre and it looks like a lot of fun.

No need to wishlist it. It's free and OpenSource (I think the assets might be closed, but are freely available with the Open source download). It includes the DLC. Pretty sure the GitHub link is pinned on the Steam forum.

Edit, here you go: https://github.com/BlindMindStudios/StarRuler2-Source

Builds just fine for me and is genuinely a really good game. It definitely experimented with some new ideas, which I think turned out pretty good.
