After playing FFXVI for about 5 hours, I'm stopping for a bit because my room is getting uncomfortably hot xD I'm playing at 4k max settings and actually getting 60fps for the most part, so my PC is cooking lol. I think this is the first game to really stress my system like this.

The game is really good! I'm enjoying it a lot. So far, I think the combat has leaned to the easy side even though I have it on the harder difficulty, but considering I'm only like 1/10 through the game I'm sure it'll get harder.

A lot of people were comparing the story/setting to Game of Thrones but idk, it still seems VERY much like Final Fantasy to me. Feels more FF than driving around as a boy band in a car shilling Cup Noodles that's for sure

@xianc78 sims 3 is actually a horribly coded game. I'm willing to bet they did away with the open world just because it had way too much of a performance impact and made things break often. After a while playing on a save file, especially with lots of expansions, the game can take 5+ minutes to load even on newer hardware and you need mods just to clean things up. I'm not surprised they shifted away from open world.

Personally, I do like sims 4 more. I think it actually works better just fundamentally. But I do miss the personality and the customizability of sims 3.

@deprecated_ii not all the time, but they do sometimes. That's a great way to get your stuff sold.

Ahahaha, the first side quest in FFXVI is to collect wood, which is exactly the same as my game xD well, kind of. More like the first side quest you can reasonably complete and the one you probably should do first.

@deprecated_ii it's a two way street sometimes. I know Kingdom Hearts on PC had issues with AMD cards for a long time until it came over to Steam. AMD finally released a driver update for it and then Squenix fixed it further. I know a lot of emulator devs seem to have more trouble with AMD cards too and if anything, they should be the ones I'd most expect to get it working.

On top of that you have a lot of features Nvidia cards have that AMD just can't seem to match. It's rough. They have advantages in price and sometimes in raw performance, but the former doesn't mean a lot when you're buying an expensive card anyway, and the latter doesn't mean a lot when Nvidia has so many tricks to make games perform and in many cases even look better at the same time. I'd only get an AMD card if I was primarily interested in playing games that don't support newer Nvidia features anyway, and I wanted to play those games in higher frame rates and resolutions.

A lot of the time I see people arguing in favor of AMD cards, it is solely because they are competition. Like, their entire place in the market is to make sure Nvidia doesn't get more greedy and dumb.

That is just talking about their graphics stuff though. I'm not as well versed in AMD vs Intel processors but it seems like it's always going back and forth with who can have the worse issue. Historically, Intel has been more efficient and runs cooler so that's kind of what I've just stuck with, required motherboard upgrades be damned.

their actual reasoning is that they don't want players to feel like they are losing their progress when they go to a new game. BITCH THE OLD GAME IS STILL THERE I'M NOT LOSING SHIT!

so apparently sims 5 is more or less cancelled and they're just going to keep updating sims 4 forever. lol, lmao even.

@j one guy writes what's on the prompter and the anchors just get paid to read what's there

@Mr_NutterButter i didn't like half life 2 very much, but i'd still be interested in checking out a third game. would be pretty cool.

@Suzu @supersid333 i still think it's better than the previous system, since now we can both be playing games at the same time :3

@LukeAlmighty "drinking to forget" only works if you're drinking enough to be functionally asleep all of the time. it's not good for you at all. depending on the person, it might take your mind off of things by helping you relax a little, but that's really it.

@LukeAlmighty facing a common enemy did bring us together once upon a time...
