I dunno any good 4k ones in that range. But 1440p on the other hand...

I got 2x Dell s2721dgf way back at the beginning of the year, and holy shit it's the best computer thing i ever did imo. (As a former TV only gamer.)
I also use this monitor and can confirm, it is amazing. It is a better version of LG 27GL850-B ( same panel).

Game streaming continues to suck. The fact that you have to rely on other companies in regards to your game experience continues to be terrible.
This piece of news is interesting. Thank you for sharing it.

However, I like this thread better when it's mainly about Steam. What do you think about creating a thread for talks about cloud gaming / game streaming?

Sure, go ahead. Don't care for cloud gaming, found it on r/pcgaming so felt it was worth posting here, but you are right, should be in a cloud gaming thread. My mistake.

I don't care about cloud gaming either. It is just that I like my threads clean of baits.
There is no bait? Geforce Now streaming is just playing the lottery more than before with your Steam library in terms of streaming quality.

Technically speaking GFN is somewhat related to Steam, because it is another way of accessing your Steam library so if we are going with the logic that only Steam-related topics should be handled here then I think it is fine.

Anyone interested in Onion Games and/or Love-de-Lic should definitely follow the Onion Games Youtube account.
They have been posting a lot of great, informative videos, with English subtitles, that are well worth watching.
Random ramblings, showcases of Japanese indie games, behind the scenes content, their videos, like their games, are a beaufitul "mess". :cat-heart-blob:

The latest video details how a Russian film influenced the game Moon: Remix RPG Adventure.
Really interesting stuff.

I don't know about 4k/60 monitors, but is there any specific reason you're skipping out on 1440p? You can get a good quality 1440p/144hz monitor for that budget. Even if you don't care about higher framerates, at that budget it's probably a better value.
Mostly just because I mentioned that i was getting 1440p 60hz to a friend and they asked about framerate and when I said I didn't wanna work my pc too hard while getting good picture quality, they suggested I may as well go to 4k. I have a beefy pc (3070 and ryzen 5600x) so I figured since I don't play a lot of AAA games that would be best.

I could go for 1440p instead if yall all think that's better for the price
This was originally what I had my eye on before the suggestion:
Amazon product

While you can do 4K in many games with a 3070, especially with DLSS, the card is much better suited for 1440p/144hz, especially with only 8GB of VRAM.

I was going to say your best bet is to search for "Best Soundbars under 100 dollars" and check to see if the same ones are mentioned a few times anc check those out. I gave it a quick look to see if there's any meaningful results and RTings were top reply and they're always a good place to start.

I have done this but I am trying to find some word of mouth.

Just tried Forza Horizon 5. The vibration on the XB1 controller feels excellent! Every car feels very different to drive. I turned down some settings so my 1080 Ti didn't need to go 90% usage, but the game still looks amazing. Spectacular experience.

Now hopefully Playground games knows how to make a good RPG :baseballblob:

TBH, I think 1440p display with Gsync/Freesync will work better for not stressing your GPU than a 4K60 one. You can set the framerate to whatever you want.

Even if you're not planning to game on it that much, 144 Hz is so much easier on the eyes. I don't know if it's only me, but my eyes don't get tired as fast as when using 60 Hz panel. I have 60 Hz monitor at work and 144 Hz at home, both IPS, so I switch between them pretty often and I feel less tired after 8 hours when using the one at home.

I'm ready to be disappointed. Though to be fair, the C&C remaster was actually pretty good.

The sad part is thinking of how many "game series the fans loved back in the day" they have that are dead.
That tweet isn't loading for me, what is EA doing with old IP now?
And why is your answer not 'reviving Crusader'?

"New scoop tomorrow - EA is bringing back a game series that fans loved back in the day " from Tom Henderson

And oooohhhh, Crusader is a good one. Those games were so much fun. I wouldn't even mind if it was "only" a good remaster.

Personally, I'm always hoping for Wing Commander, but as I said, I know I'm going to be disappointed...

Well, not to be too cynical, but New World userbase has shrunk quit a bit. It's not totally a bad move for them.
It's not too dissimilar to EGS tactic, buying users.

Is it though? They are simply giving those who were already playing through family share the ability to continue, so in a sense they aren't getting "new" users.

Well, my point (which is unprovable, yeah) is that if New World was still at 1 million users they wouldn't offer copies. But you are right too, it's more subtle than that.

Edge of Eternity got another big update. Kinda irks me a bit. The game's supposedly out of early access but still has massive updates coming out. Not just like new content, but overhauling large swathes of the game. The balancing section makes it look like all the math and numbers got completely reworked, for like the third time since "release".
Yeah, it's slightly annoying. It's great that they are still continuing to improve it, but I bought it on the last sale shortly before it went out of EA under the assumption that then it's "done", but that was one year ago and their post-launch roadmap still includes 2022. To be fair the 2022 stuff seems mostly post-game/new-game+ kind of stuff, but there do seem to be new things that affect the entire game, so it's a bit of a wash.

Does anyone have Humble subscriber discount and an unused coupon for Soul Calibur 6 Season Pass 1? Does the coupon work with subscriber discount? And how much is it?

Looked at the price of Blue Reflection 1 on a whim.
I won’t ever play that game it seems.
