These $16 magnetic charge cables and micro USB adapters are some of the best bang for buck I've ever gotten for USB related items.
I got my mice and keyboards set up with these magnetic tips, so that I don't have to push a cable into a crevice every time I charge. It just magnetically clasps and it's charging. It's sooo nice.
It's amazing how the little things can improve your experience so much.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a game I've had my eyes on for a while, but I have always felt very mixed on it, as it looks like more of a Borderlands' 3 DLC than necessarily a full title. And I'm not even saying that is necessarily a bad thing, Borderlands 3 is one of my favourite games ever, but if they were going to charge me the full price I was hoping it would be more than what looked like just a reskin.
And thankfully now we're getting closer to release and more info is being released, we're starting to learn what sets it apart and I must admit, I am getting pretty excited. There are some really interesting classes which apparently you can hybrid together, a proper melee focus including tiers of melee weapons with different buffs, arsenals of spells rather than grenades and a bunch of crazy companions. I am hoping this will be a lot of fun.
Man, I dunno if it is because of the i-frame framerate link or maybe the hit boxes are messed up due to the higher resolution or behind the scenes twiddling or because I am using a different weapon or whether it is because I am playing with a mixture of friends and randos, rather than the kanji Gods, but I am finding Rise much harder on PC than I did on Switch.
I remember absolutely blowing through this game on Switch. I remember finding the earlier parts of the game the hardest, once I had some decent gear/weapons, my momentum always seemed greater than any monster thrown at me (up until the Apex Event quests which were so rough).
I personally loved that, as I felt like I only ever had to grind out of choice rather than necessity and got a continuous sense of progression.
However, in Rise PC, we seem to constantly hit walls. I think it was around 6* hub it just became completely unfun to try and beat any of these monsters with a party of less than four, so we opened up the party to randos for the first time to fill in missing slots. This certainly made things easier for a while, but it does sorta feel like every other monster is some kind of wall that takes a good couple of tries to best.
Like I don't remember on the Switch version monsters just doing such insane amounts of damage. Like two hitting you when you are in fully upgraded, best gear at that point of the game, stuff. And hitting attacks that can literally take all the faints in one attack. That stuff was common in World, but I don't think I'd ever seen a team wipe on the Switch Rise? But it has happened multiple times during the PC playthrough.
And for the record, I still absolutely love this game, but if you are one of the "the game is too easy" fellows, please play the PC version and enjoy it pummelling you into the ground.
Ended up going with the smaller included mousepad since it was self adhesive, and I put velcro on my keyboard to keep it from moving, as well as velcro on a wrist rest to keep it from moving.
Ohhhh it's so good. So so good. I love it!
Played some Gears 5 and wow, what a blast that was
I remember a bunch of people last year told me I'd love a game called Wildermyth but for one reason or another, I just never got around to it. Well, now I have and people were right... I do love this.
It seemingly uses procedural generation and RNG to allow a single person to be taken through a D&D style campaign, as you create a team of heroes, send them off on adventures and just hope you get to see them grow old and retire before they die in battle, or are afflicted by some terrible curse or something much worse?
And seemingly the story can just sort of continue forever if you wanted it to? As characters have children who when they get old join your team as new heroes etc
The only negative I've had really so far is because it is procedurally generated, it can lead to some odd narrative developments. One of my party was cursed and seemingly turned into an immortal skeleton, but beyond initial responses to it, no character has ever reacted to this living skeleton wandering around since. Like my party is just sat in like a farm with regular people and everyone is so casual about this skeleton just sitting there.
Or there was one character who was mourning a facial scar they picked up, due to triggering a trap. This would be fine if they weren't cursed earlier in the story and were slowly turning into some sort of bird woman... Like I think your giant crow head is of greater concern than a slight nick above your bill.
@Protagonist My god we are actually getting another game in the series? I never played the games, but from what I know, they have just ported V over and over again, or maybe i'm just stupid LOL.
I'm very happy for GTA fans!

Nah, now you need a recliner so you can play lying down, @JaxonH .... With a special TV mount to swing it into position for that! & a robot to bring you drinks/ snacks, etc
So this slightly relates to gaming, but I thought people on here would be able to help me best. We recently got my son a laptop, and in setting it up I just connected it with my Microsoft account. I don't even use anything from them other than my computer and don't even know why I have one other than from playing Solitaire. But now our computers are connected. He changed his desktop wallpaper and it changed the one on my computer, too, to the same one. Is there an easy way to give one of us a new Microsoft account without losing all of our stuff? He plays Minecraft and so I don't know if creating a new account for him would cause him to not have all of his Minecraft maps and such anymore. I'm not sure if there is anything for me to lose by creating a new one other than Solitaire progress (which I do not care about at all), but I don't really want to lose like all of my online bookmarks and such because I have a lot of important school and work things that might be difficult to track down again. Thanks.
@Xyphon22
Not sure. Probably need to Google it and read up on shared accounts.
@WaveBoy
Looks pretty good. Intel i7 with RTX 3080.
But for that price, with certain concessions in RAM, NVMe, Cooling, etc, I'd suggest checking out CUK and at least seeing how they compare.
You can customize your build by selecting upgrades from drop down menus. And I believe for around the same price you can get a full 3080 but with an Intel i9 CPU, a 2TB NVMe SSD, 32gb RAM, AIO cooler, etc.
I have the Stratus Micro which has a smaller footprint but there are multiple case options to choose from
@Snatcher
If you're gonna do PC gaming... do it right.
After all, who says PC gaming has to be sitting upright at a desk with a monitor? LayZboy recliner + Couchmaster lapboard + 4K OLED TV = console gaming experience. Throw in a Dualsense or Switch Pro Controller with gyro aiming.
@BruceCM
I actually tried the Luge VR game laying back in this recliner to match how I was lying on the board in game and almost had a heart attack when I hit the back of a semi truck at 110 mph

I have been playing this game basically non stop in every spare moment I could find. Think it might be my new GOTY 2021. The procedural generation does lead to some repetition/odd or missed story developments and some of the longer campaigns can end up becoming pretty brutal towards the end due to some design decisions and while both of those things on their own could potentially ruin a game, this is such a special game these massive issues become just minor annoyances in the wonderful experience that is this game.
