Considering Nintendo selling very old games just emulated on their switch for almost full price I'd say people want both new games and their classics. The point is you don't have to decide which games to get. I play Baldurs Gate 3 but also Age of Wonders 1 or the early Devil May Cry games. I can actually play the whole DMC series on one device while my PS5 is collecting dust as every game costs more there than on PC and I don't have a big library of games.

Also I'd have to pay way too much money just to be allowed to play online on servers that Sony doesn't even run. Over the span of 5-10 years I'd have to pay probably around 400-800€ just to play online.

I'm not 100% sure anymore but my pc with an AMD GPU and CPU cost me maybe 1300€ and runs everything i want on highest settings so far. I think the biggest price point on PC is people getting duped by sites like userbenchmark to think they need an Nvidia card that's ridiculously expensive.

If you plan to do main story only, I'd say, go for the 2nd. However the first dragons dogma has bitterblack isles which is a giant dungeon designed to focus on pretty much nonstop action and multiple dives in, each getting further down and delivering powerful gear to help you get even further. It really helps to give you post-game stuff to do and i miss it in dd2 to the point of thinking about going back to the first one just for that part of the game

But on your new pc you can still play your old games which is not a given on consoles

This might be a weird one as the game is often blamed for not having difficulty settings, but Elden Ring. While it doesn't have a straight up setting that says easy, there's a lot of ways to make the game easier.

I really hate how Fromsoft put the "Prepare to Die" tagline onto Dark Souls when it came to PC and seems to develop into more bullshitty scenarios that kill you in unpredictable ways. Elden Ring has for example a lot of enemies that hold their attack for unintuitively long just to catch you off guard and punish you when you roll on the intuitive timing.

The community is to blame as well for the bad reputation of the games with people making fun of others using big shields and summons to beat the game. And herein lie the difficulty options of Elden Ring:

  • Using greatshields makes a lot of the game a lot easier
  • Using spirit ashes makes places that allow them a lot easier (as opposed to player and npc summons they don't affect the enemies health pool)
  • Using magic allows you to attack with little risk to yourself

You can also summon other players but i don't know if that makes the game easier: As noted above it raised the enemies HP so everyone has to do their part to succeed but if you are a caster you can mostly sit back and blast enemies from afar while your summons tank. Using player summons also opens your world up for invasions and while the invader usually is in a 1v3 situation they also usually know what they are doing and how to deal with such situations.

If you're still stuck at a boss, just go somewhere else and explore. The game is designed to teach you that lesson with the first actual boss but a lot of people take it as the game just being hard.

All of this is to say: it is okay to use the games integrated mechanics that make it easy. It doesn't make you less of a gamer. Elden Ring has such a beautifully crafted world and if you're looking very interesting lore and it's a shame that seemingly all people talk about is the difficulty. It is actually the easiest Fromsoft title if you want it to be as it gives you a lot more and more powerful tools than the other games.

(Also if you see a chonky looking gal in black full body armour called Sieglinde, summon me. I have great heals, a big chonky sword and love helping people 😘)

When the sun dies it will take the earth with it iirc so if you can wait until then you're good

That honestly sounds like a good idea. I might try that, thx 😊

 

I'm currently wondering what to do if my favourite recipes go offline or if my mom's special traditional dish where i have the recipe in written form gets lost. Do you have a (preferably FOSS) app to store such recipes? I'm currently trying Cooky which is FOSS but is difficult to use for cooking: you can't really group cooking steps well and when cooking a recipe you can only view one step at a time unless you're editing the recipe. I like however that you can tag the dishes so it's easier to find specific stuff like vegan or spicy dishes.

Makes sense then that entire YouTube channels got big by explaining said "boring nonsense".

Literally not, how Elden Ring multiplayer works.

  1. You can't invade solo host unless they specifically use an item for it

  2. If you are coop you open yourself up for invasions and since a session has a 4 player limit you're always either in the majority (aka ganking) or on even grounds if you decide to only summon 1 friend and let the invader live long enough for another to show up. If you invade you are pretty much always going to be in a 1v3 situation.

Only with friction. Without it you'll build exactly enough speed on your fall to the center of gravity that it carries you out to the same distance on the other side.

Think a swing on the playground. If you're high up and swing down you build up speed and that speed carries you up again, just that due to friction you have to input energy to keep going up to the same height.

Fun story: my dad built a swing for my niece recently and the friction was very low. When i tested it, i was swinging standing up and because almost no friction slowed me down I was unable to stop and got quite scared. I had to sit down while swinging and put my feet on the ground to break.

I don't know if it's a problem with my OS but i couldn't select audio sources. The button was grayed out and set to "all system audio" so I didn't use it as the quality of clips was worse than GPU Screen Recorder. I just want to watch stuff on the side while playing games without that audio getting recorded but i heard doing it through OBS has a bigger impact on performance.

Bazzite: funktioniert einfach

Hatte mal Ubuntu probiert und war nicht Fan. Bin jetzt seit ein paar Monaten mit bazzite unterwegs und musste nur ein Mal das Terminal öffnen, weil die einen Fehler mit dem Schlüssel zur Authentifizierung der OS Versionen gemacht hatten und neue Updates einen anderen Schlüssel hatten oder so. Bin echt erstaunt, wie gut alles läuft.
