Do you feel the same way?

if I am playing on PC and my frame rate is swinging rather quickly from around 60-70 back up to 120+ rapidly, should I turn down the graphics until the frame rate is steady? I can't tell much difference to be honest.

what's your monitor's framerate?

Unless your GPU or CPU are getting overly hot then I wouldn't worry, unless it's bothering you

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

In games with a lot of frame variance it can help to set an FPS limit to put less overhead on the CPU and create a smoother overall image, since the frametime won't be jumping all over the place.

Holy poo poo this looks cool.

Also speaking of The Witness, every time I hear In the Hall of the Mountain King I immediately flash back to The Challenge.

(Also Anitra's Dance but that comes up less often in media)

The last one is something I am so, so happy I nailed on the first attempt.

Something I really like about Tohou Luna Nights is the item screen tells you which section of the game you are missing powerups from. Something I don't like is that money is so so so so so so much more valuable in your inventory than ever actually spending it that its ridiculous.

Awoo.


Since Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is hitting Steam soon, I'm curious if it's worth playing Rebel Galaxy, which I've had in my backlog for... a long time. Is it worth playing now, or just count it as a loss and pick up the second?

I'm playing pillars of eternity 2 and it's astonishing how much better Baldur's Gate gets when it's turn based and not shackled to D&D rules

I knew the basic idea of the genre could be good from DOS2 but that changed a lot more. PoE2 basically changed the bare minimum from the old D&D games needed to make them playable.

I tried and quit PoE 1 three times over the years. I found the combat confusing and often too hard. Is the second game notably better?

I was actually just thinking about how useless overscan settings are in games, but I guess sometimes they are still necessary.
