Jake's point about demos is a good one. There was a real accountability to them -- the developer had to show you something worth playing before asking for your money. That model has been entirely replaced by refund windows and early access, neither of which is quite the same thing. What I miss...

I know RDR2 has been out for years now but honestly nothing else comes close to its photo mode. The lighting, the landscapes, the way fog rolls through the valleys at dawn. Every screenshot looks like a painting. Just spent an hour riding through the Grizzlies taking shots instead of doing any...

I'd push back slightly on Half-Life 2 as a definitive all-time pick -- it's an extraordinary technical achievement for its era but the writing is quite thin. Planescape: Torment, Morrowind, Gothic II, Baldur's Gate 2 -- these are the games that actually had something to say. That said, Disco...

Still think Game Pass is the best deal in gaming. Between this and the back catalogue there's genuinely more games than I have time for.

Cyber Engine Tweaks is essential - it's the mod framework most other mods depend on. After that: - Better Vehicle Handling - Improved Minimap (zooms out properly when driving) - Appearance Menu Mod (change your look without stats) Those three make the biggest quality of life difference.

Yes please. The Vatican section nearly broke me. Would definitely use a trainer for a second playthrough to just enjoy the exploration.

Had the same thing happen with Cyberpunk after a patch. New trainer version came out the next day and it was sorted. Just keep an eye on the hub.

Skyrim. Not even close. Hundreds of hours across multiple characters over the years. And then mods add another lifetime of content.

BG3 co-op is genuinely one of the best multiplayer experiences I've had. The chaos that happens when everyone makes different dialogue choices is brilliant. Would join if the timing works.

Makes me want to upgrade from my 3080. Those reflections in the rain are incredible.

Curious what trainers are the most popular here. Personally I use the GTA V trainer almost daily and the Elden Ring one whenever I'm trying out new builds. The infinite stamina option in Elden Ring is basically essential for exploring without constantly resting.

That's within spec for a 4070 Super under heavy load. Nvidia cards thermal throttle at 83C by default but the 40 series boosted that limit. You're fine.

Welcome. What shooters are you playing at the moment? A few of us play Warzone in the evenings if you ever want to squad up.

No. Undervolting doesn't push the card beyond spec, it does the opposite. And you can reset to defaults instantly in Afterburner. Totally safe.

Undervolting is free performance. Your GPU runs cooler, quieter, and sometimes even faster because it doesn't thermal throttle. Here's how I did it on my RTX 4070: 1. Open MSI Afterburner and press Ctrl+F to open the voltage/frequency curve 2. Find the point where your GPU currently boosts to...

Yeah I run reshade presets alongside trainers on a few games. No issues as long as you launch the trainer first. The trainer hooks into memory while reshade hooks into the graphics pipeline so they don't really conflict.
