I dunno if it's a good computer, probably not, and even if it was I wouldn't want to get it or anything. I just like how aldi is like "hi I'm a grocery store, this week's deals are meat, jaffa cakes, chainsaws, and this computer"

Both Aldi and Lidl have been doing pre-built towers and laptops since they opened here in Ireland.

In the early days they were great bang for your buck and a couple of my friends bought them for Burning Crusade era WoW but the machines lasted them for years because the specs were pretty good.

What's the deal with exchange places like CEX? Are there ever good deals in there? The one near me had OOT 3Ds for twenty pounds, while it's like 14 on amazon prime. Everything else seems to be only 5% ish cheaper than new, if that.

Prices are only okay when it'l last gen stuff and even then it's not much cheaper.

Even if you were to put a good graphics card in there, you're going to be very limited with that duo core processor. AAA games now, more and more, are needing 6+ core CPUs.

Looks like the PSVR review embargo has been lifted. The verdict so far: It's nice tech that's slightly pulled back by the use of PS4's hardware, especially the awful Move controls.

What most people consider "indie development" currently though is just how video game development functioned prior to the 3D era, with the key difference being that people actually finished the games thy made instead of ripping people off with Early Access

Even then Mount and Blade first came out in 2004, so they beat Minecraft to the punch at pioneering the early access model by about half a decade.

ages and ages ago, so they probably removed all the skill from Warlocks because people were quite bad at underusing them, and they were loving amazing in the hands of a good player

The last time I played, warlocks had a mechanic where they'd do more damage to one target if they had dots rolling on other targets. Blizzard basically gave warlocks permission to be scumbags in every encounter despite the handful of fights that required you to keep certain enemies alive for fight mechanics.
