The goal is to have 4 colossus on the circular edge of my volcano, and I’ve got one done so far. Dyed it with a rune, and it looks amazing. Inside I’ve hollowed out a tunnel for boats, and started building my cafe and an area for cooking as well as a winery. Nothing fancy yet, but I’ll get there with time.
My new 2080 video card is nothing short of amazing compared to the old 760 I was using, and I have (so far) absolutely zero complaints. The crashes and video driver errors that previously plagued me are all solved, and aside from some issues like WoW not showing initially after I upgraded the card (I needed to delete a configuration file from my WTF folder, then it worked fine) it has been smooth sailing. Here’s hoping it stays that way.
Last night I spent quite a bit of time just driving around in Euro Truck Sim 2 – it felt so good to get back to playing that game, and now it looks even more incredible.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
I’ve been using my GTX 760 for so long that I practically forgot what it could be like to play on beautiful graphic settings without any crashes happening. Guild Wars 2 was especially problematic, I couldn’t play without crashing unless I turned settings down so far characters looked like potato sacks.
I had sporadic graphic driver crashes with WoW if I ran anything else at the same time, and it was getting annoying. It kept telling me to update my drivers even though I had, many, many, times.
My husband ended up going into town yesterday and buying me a brand new 2080 and wow, it’s amazing. Instantly my computer suddenly liked playing games. Graphics on high, GW2 and WoW no longer crashing, I am tickled at this upgrade. I hope it lasts a few years because ouch they are not cheap.
Aside from the graphic card I also got a bit of good news about applying for partnership with Medal – they accepted my application – yay! Medal is what I’ve been using lately to make video game clips. Similar to Forge in the past, they let you take 15-30-60 second clips and host them online for others to view. Since I haven’t been doing too much streaming (lack of time) taking clips is a fantastic way for me to get a little video out there within my regular gaming session. It’s not a huge amount of news, but it really made my day.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
HumbleBundle can be hit and miss for me some months, but there’s usually one or two winners tucked away even if I am unsure of it. A few months back I got Purrfect Date in one such bundle.
It’s a visual novel / dating sim so I don’t want to give too much away about the story, but it’s well written, very cute, and well worth grabbing it if you haven’t yet.
I tend to keep my steam wish list pretty up to date – and this is what it looks like:
No real surprises when I look over that list, I tend to stick with what I know I like – aside from the AC series which I’ve actually never played before and was curious about giving it a try. The graphics are just beautiful, and I’m a sucker for that (even if you can’t tell because lets face it, I’m currently playing Dwarf Fortress…)
What does your own wish list look like these days?
