True and real

We pass the ps5 controller so we each get an npc during combat and do splitscreen for the world.

Is local coop different from online coop? I'm playing through the game with a friend right now, and we both have our own small party, and control two characters in a fight. Or maybe I just misunderstood what you meant.

I dropped Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire for the time being. It's good, but I just don't feel it right now. The ship travel does suck though.

Then more coop Baldur's Gate 3. We are now in Act 3, about to go into the city.

BG3 is part of the reason I stopped playing Pillars 2, since I got a lot more into it than I thought. That's why I started another solo run, trying to make it through Honor Mode. So far, I died twice in Act 1. First time was the three Intellect Devourers shortly after the tutorial. Second time was to the Gnolls that siege the two dudes in a cave. That one, I could have survived, but did some dumb misplays and paid the price. The current run is going pretty good, although I had some really close moments. The Spectator fight almost took out my party, same with the Robots in the Underdark Tower. If I die again, I'll probably change to a custom difficulty, where I can save, just to learn the game and fights more, before I try again. I severely overestimated my game knowledge.

I also beat Windblown a few more times, and moved up to the final difficulty, but barely did any attempts since then.

While this is classic Valve non-communication, apparently the devs were hacking or reverse-engineering some closed source stuff, that Valve might not have agreed with.

Just so we are clear on how the mod works on our side, there is no leaked code involved. We're using a build from 2020 that has security exploits and a hacked dedicated server to be able to even play online while working on it internally.

The mod cannot be released in this state

This is all just some third-party information, I have no idea about this and don't really care about Counter-Strike.

Square was really scraping the barrel for this one. "Good graphics, that you can change!"

Changing how many NPCs could be nice, and I'm probably gonna need DLSS for upscaling. AMD and Intel users might have to wait for a mod, since there was no mention of FSR or XeSS.

What does that have to do with anything?

They've already said it's all because of DLSS 4. The 5070 needs the new 4x FG to match the 4090, although I don't know if the 4090 has the "old" 2x FG enabled, probably not.

Both figures are without DLSS, FG, whatever. Just native 4k with Path Tracing enabled, that's why it's so low.

The sketchy marketing is comparing a 5070 with a 4090, but that's not what this is about.

50% improvement not enough for you?

The 4090 gets like sub 20fps without DLSS and stuff. Seems like a good improvement.

On the site with the performance graphs, Farcry and Plague Tale should be more representative, if you want to ignore FG. That's still only two games, with first-party benchmarks, so wait for third-party anyway.

I unlocked the final difficulty in Windblown. However, I'm gonna play the previous one a bit more, to get some more reps, since the stat increase for enemies seems just insane.

Then I played more Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire. While the game is good, it took me a while to get into it. I don't like getting around with the ship, it's just super tedious. When you don't enable enemy scaling, the world is also full of enemies, that are far too strong for you (I did beat some fights, the game said are probably too difficult). Now, after 25h I'm level 10, can do more stuff, and it's getting more interesting.

Finally, my friend and I continued our Baldur's Gate 3 coop run, and we just made it to Act 3. Because this is a Dark Urge run, and we are pretty much killing everything, there was a bunch of stuff we couldn't do in Act 2, so it felt a bit short (except for our month break or something), although we did spend a lot of time in combat.

Same, but sometimes a co-op game for me as well, to play with friends.

It had 2.4 million players at launch on Steam, so I guess a few people played it.

Just take one of the other gazillion GOTY awards. there's bound to be one that's just right for you.

Finished a run in Windblown.

The Germans united to get the Simulator game to the top, so they can work in a game, after they get home from work.

The Steam Awards are mostly just "what's my favorite game" or "which game have I heard of" for all categories. It doesn't matter if the game fits or not. For Wukong it's additionally "where was the game made", since it's one of the few high profile Chinese games (outside of China) and Steam has a lot of Chinese users.

It's not as elegant, but you might be able to give them some Steam Gift Cards and recommend some games.
