My favourite local (non english) source of gaming news rated game 6/10

Would that still be Morrowind?

Well, imagine Bethesda remaking Morrowind to mostly corridor walking sim since most side quests and all the optional stuff the game is filled with just cut out. Yeah, I don’t like the idea. And that’s exactly what I believe Bethesda is capable of.

They’d replace all the things that made Morrowind awesome for something dumbed down for casual player with attention span of week old puppy.

I can’t resist a system that allows for endless tweaking.

So you actually chose KDE, right?

Yeah, I only play at PC and it’s really nothing to write home about.

I certainly hope so. And I also hope it won’t be butchered. KOTOR was amazing, but it’s tough to even start it these days and once you manage to run the game, the UI and controls are… pretty outdated to say the least. And I’m saying that as a person who finished original Fallout games recently and who plays other retro games regularly.

It’s an amazing game. Definitely go for it.

It’s like nothing I’ve played before. Closest match would be probably old Planescape Torment. Not that it’s vastly similar in gameplay, but more like novel style writing, deep lore, focus on narrative instead of action, … Both games are long, slow paced and both make you think. Highly recommend!

Isn’t it on flathub?

Same for me. I was using foobar2000 back on windows. When I switched to linux I found out I set up my foobar basically the same as vanilla Clementine was set. So I was sold instantly. Later switched to Strawberry, because I felt Clementine is too long dead and it also started to glitch icons on newer qt for me. Strawberry is great.

Well, it is net waste for the company at some point. AMD is supreme at CPU now, their lineup is awesome for years. But look at last few graphic card generations. When was the last time AMD really competed in enthusiast market? It’s been falling short for quite some time so now they admitted it, cut r&d cost and just skipped high end while focusing on most selling segment. And from the reviews it looks like it paid of as 9070 looks like a hell of an upgrade!

Don’t get me wrong. Nv having no opponent is not a win, because they can and will charge even more for their top of the range. But I’m just saying this was a good decision for AMD.

Well, I’m on the other side and am happy AMD don’t waste resources on high end cards. Vast majority of people use low to mid range cards anyway, so why waste millions to just compete with nvidia, while most enthusiast people will buy nv anyway (because dlss, rtx, whatever hurr durr)? It’s just waste of money for negligible returns. I don’t even know one single person in my social circle that would have 4k/120Hz display anyway. Most (basically everyone) has either 1080p/144 or 4k/60 and that’s mid range happy rodeo. I do have 1440p/144 and I feel like weirdo among my friends (why you need this?).

It just stopped receiving updates, even security ones.

Well, how’s it supported? This is usually what kills these phones. Even brand like Xiaomi dump their non-flagship model really soon. I have one, bought as a new model, was officially supported for like a year. Great.

Planescape is awesome. The only game that came close to its story (and one I’ve played) is Disco Elysium, which is quite a feat. Given how DE is praised everywhere.

Since this came to effect, there’s nothing forbidding these authors to push update which has no new content except for maybe main menu “we’re still alive” sign…

Well, Tim Sweeny can suck his own wiener then. I have hundred(s) of games on Epic and I haven’t spent a dime there. And still won’t spend, because I have principles.

Yeah, better make another Concord…

Do you drive it with family?

If I was alone, this would be an option. With family, not so much. I’ve heard horrible stories, struggling to go uphill with 4 people on board, etc. And I live in a hilly area.
