I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

On this topic, if someone has just built a new PC, what games would you recommend?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Settlers of Catan or Carcassonne are two favorites of mine.

Go is also very nice, though the biggest challenge is finding someone to play with.

I've heard this "alpha" guy is eager to play anytime!

Pacific Drive stole 30 hours from me in the last week and a half

Cyberpunk 2077 is probably still one of the most demanding.

I got a new 3070 ti GPU back in like 2022 but my CPU is from 2009 so a lot of stuff has been bottle necked. I got everything but the case for my new computer. It will be here Saturday. I'm so excited!

I'm looking forward to Death Stranding and Helldivers 2 which both physically couldn't run on my CPU because they used instructions made after 2011 or something. Elden Ring wouldn't get more than like 20 to 25 FPS for me. So many little things I'm looking forward to.

I'm hoping they work with Linux, though.

Why not FF7R? The second game is coming soon.

I may play it when the story is finished - if the reviews for the full thing are positive. Right now I’m too worried they’re making a decade of buildup for a dissatisfying and confusing ending, just like Kingdom Hearts.

I’ve played a demo of Remake on my PlayStation and while I could project whatever conversational voices I wanted from text dialog back with the original, I just can’t mesh with the half-hearted anime dub voices (in either language). And I ultimately play JRPGs for their story. Thanks for the recommendation though.

The new Indiana Jones looks fantastic.

Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 got an update to graphics like 2 years ago, Returnal (3rd person shooter rogue lite scifi bullet hell that is fucking beautiful, was a PS5 exclusive but is now available on PC), the Spiderman games, god of war (2018, and the new one), Baulder's Gate 3.

Or uh.... Just install Path of Exile and play that for 3000 hours. I don't know man. You do you.
