I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m here now…

It’s not all about performance and the price of what you suggest is triple that if a 5600G.
I probably shouldn’t have used the word “upgrade”.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 1 week ago:
I was recently thinking of changing to a 5600G or something to replace my 3600X + R9 390 combo. The GPU is so power hungry, runs very hot and is noisy that an AGPU would be an interesting upgrade.

Football Manager has taken hold of me…
So far I’ve promoted from 6th to 5th tier, stayed mid-low table for another season and now I’m aiming for a top 10.
Also finally have some decent youth players to work with. I really need to improve the first team too as almost everyone underperformed last season.
I don’t even consider myself a huge fan of the sport but I love the management part of it.
send help - Comment on Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming? 2 weeks ago:
I’m done with consoles now. I’ll keep what I have but if the current generation is anything to go by it is just not worth bothering anymore.
- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 3 weeks ago:
I play games with my wife every now and then and it’s great. I wouldn’t say regularly but every few months we’ll play something like State of Decay 2 or Astroneer and get really in to it for a week.
- Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic? 3 weeks ago:
I have claimed most of the games and some have been real gems. I’ve bought a few games too because they were the cheapest option.
Personally I don’t have a problem with the Epic launcher as it’s just a launcher which is fine by me. I use GOG Galaxy anyway and I’m not a fan of Steam either so don’t care about that aspect.
- Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t really bother but I do have some related stuff like unofficial patches and fan remakes/mods of my favourite games.
- Comment on GTA3 on the Sega Dreamcast is incredible 4 weeks ago:
Probably true. A lot of the fans, like me, are from day one and never left.
- Comment on GTA3 on the Sega Dreamcast is incredible 4 weeks ago:
For a console that lived a short life the fan base is absolutely amazing.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 4 weeks ago:
F1 Manager 2024
I like to play it while watching a movie on another screen.
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 4 weeks ago:
Get them a month (or 3) of PC Gamepass so they can play everything and find out what they like.
- Comment on What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good? 5 weeks ago:
Skate 3
I’ll just load it up, find a new spot and make some clips.
- Comment on Favourite games to play around Christmas time? 5 weeks ago:
Shenmue
Well normally I play it every December but not this year as my Dreamcast and PS4 were put into storage and I haven’t had time (or space) to get them back out.
- Comment on What games did you complete in 2024? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve completed a single one this year as I like to bounce around and play lots.
Most of the games I play are also single player and none of this “games as a service” crap so I am very bad at finishing anything.

Colin McRae: Dirt 2
I really wanted to play something arcade (and without all the bullshit of cosmetics and jackpot spins etc that modern games have) etc so I downloaded a copy of Dirt 2 and it’s been great fun. It handles really well and actually looks good when upscaled.
- Comment on *Everyone liked that* 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t go that far but I do block users that post this shit.
- Comment on Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 2 months ago:
State of Decay 2, I’m not normally one for zombies but so far so good. I need to convince my wife to join as it could be more fun in co-op.
- Comment on Witcher 1&2 are probably worth playing 2 months ago:
I was looking at these just yesterday. I’ve not played any (but have all 3 in my GOG from freebies) and the age and look of TW1 kinda put me off but you’ve convinced me to give it a go.
- Comment on PS5 Pro is struggling to improve some games, despite its power advantage 2 months ago:
No thank you Sony.
- Comment on Retro Streaming Platform Antstream Adds Five Net Yaroze Games to Its Lineup | Tech Raptor 2 months ago:
Psycho and Gravitation are the best ones.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 2 months ago:
I have one game with 1000+ hours and that is Squad. It’s the only online game I play anymore as it is the only game that has teamwork/communication (it takes be back to Battlefield 2 days) and none of the shit like battle passes etc.
My gaming habits are just playing lots and never finishing anything… but I have fun still.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 2 months ago:
I agree with all the replies I’m getting but people are literally going round in circles with the outrage over digital licenses.
Buy physical, backup your media, download illegally or do what you need to do to show businesses that things need to change.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 2 months ago:
You did buy something, a digital license that comes with it’s own terms.
I agree with you by the way but it’s been 20 years and people still act surprised about this stuff.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 2 months ago:
I’m all for these lawsuits etc but people need to wake up to the fact they don’t own anything digital, it’s been this way for years now so no excuses.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 months ago:
I’m not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I’m a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 months ago:
Future Cop L.A.P.D
I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 2 months ago:
Wreckfest multiplayer is great. Getting in to 1st position makes me sweat just trying to survive the carnage! It normally ends badly but it’s so much fun.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 2 months ago:
There were many great racers around the Xbox 360 era and before. I feel like since then I can count on one hand the amount of good ones.
I think it just not as popular anymore but then also if they don’t make them we can’t play them!
Wreckfest, Circuit Superstars, Art of Rally, EA WRC are some excellent newer games to try.

Plex is good and the Plexamp app for music is excellent.

F-Zero GP Legend Tekken 3
It’s a tough one. The list could be endless!
