Last year I got a new job and rewarded myself with a GPU upgrade. Went from a 1080 to a 4080 and I did the exact same thing - immediate 2077 playthrough, and it's been incredible.

Oversaturation is something I think about a lot in gaming. I think we're already at the point of oversaturation inside certain genres - especially some live service genres; but when will we reach the apex where even the "blockbusters" struggle?

Same delusion that people who "don't pay attention to politics" live in: it feels nice, sunshine and rainbows, no right-wing slant in MY Labour party, no siree.

Outing myself as a weak pinky-finger gamer. I'm a mouse button croucher and have been for over a decade.

It depends on the game but usually I put prone on CTRL, and games without prone like CS, CTRL is for grenades.

Damn is that the IMI Negev Light Machine Gun? What an interesting name, I wonder why it's called that? 🤔

I find these situations funny too because they predominantly start like a toxic "I can fix them" relationship.
Till their name has enough recognition.
Then the media are asking for access.
Then the cash hits the back account.
Then the grift truly begins.
