I randomly started playing Death Stranding again. I've finished it before a few years ago and it's a great game but playing it now on hard difficulty with no assists items or lethal weapons makes it more survival like and it is even better.

consoles are a big source of e-waste

Surely pc components are an equal source of e-waste? Personally I think PC gaming is in a weird place with all the unnecessary RGB obsession and endless consumerism of upgrades.

presumably already existing

I think you'd be surprised how uninterested the average person is in owning and using a pc nowadays so we can't easily assume that.

lose their relevance over time

Also applies to pc gaming... It's not like consoles stop working when a new one is released.

Anyway I'm not here to argue for one or the other as they can just happily coexist.

I have a Series S and quick resume and backward compatibility are the best features. The current generation is generally underwhelming though so I'm not surprised if pc gaming is on the rise.

It's not like there needs to be a winner here. Console or PC gaming is just a personal preference and will always coexist.

Some of the campaign missions are really good with a nice variety too. I've been re-playing some on the hardest difficulty and it's a real time hog but good fun to spend 2 hours on a mission!

Call to Arms: Gates of Hell Ostfront

I haven't checked recently but last I heard HW3 was not good. Homeworld is one of the best of all time and even Deserts of Kharak is very good too.

It's not all about performance and the price of what you suggest is triple that of a 5600G.

I probably shouldn't have used the word "upgrade".

I don't collect anymore. I do still have a small amount of stuff that I enjoy but overall it's too expensive, not enough space, unreliable media etc...

I was recently thinking of changing to a 5600G or something to replace my 3600X + R9 390 combo. The GPU is so power hungry, runs very hot and is noisy that an AGPU would be an interesting upgrade.

Football Manager has taken hold of me...

So far I've promoted from 6th to 5th tier, stayed mid-low table for another season and now I'm aiming for a top 10.

Also finally have some decent youth players to work with. I really need to improve the first team too as almost everyone underperformed last season.

I don't even consider myself a huge fan of the sport but I love the management part of it.

send help

Something like re-gifting games and/or a way to trade them back to the storefront (discount % of future purchases etc.) would be interesting.

Squad and Squad 44 but if you think 8k players is dead then they are maybe not for you.

Tell that to the players...

I'm done with consoles now. I'll keep what I have but if the current generation is anything to go by it is just not worth bothering anymore.

I play games with my wife every now and then and it's great. I wouldn't say regularly but every few months we'll play something like State of Decay 2 or Astroneer and get really in to it for a week.

Not had a chance yet but I'll give a quick update when I do.

As long as it stays customisable I'm fine with it.

I mostly play on the Xbox anyway even though the dashboard is frustratingly full of ads and basically all customisation was removed...

I have claimed most of the games and some have been real gems. I've bought a few games too because they were the cheapest option.

Personally I don't have a problem with the Epic launcher as it's just a launcher which is fine by me. I use GOG Galaxy anyway and I'm not a fan of Steam either so don't care about that aspect.

I don't really bother but I do have some related stuff like unofficial patches and fan remakes/mods of my favourite games.
