Nice month for me, Children of Morta and One Step from Eden are on my wishlist. While Shining Resonance Refrain I was interested in, a shame it has Denuvo.

I'm undecided, if I pass this month.

Overcooked! 2, Children of Morta & Indivisible I have on PC GamePass

Maybe I'll get it for Still There & Frog Detective 1 + 2.

I need to have a closer look first. Many of the games listed I don't know yet at all.

It was my favorite game for a long time, until I couldn't play it anymore due to the T&L problem mentioned above.

Ah! Nostalgia. Now I get it.

I hope it lives up to your memories.

It does. Even better than I had remembered, since it had a hidden turbo feature (The game is rather on the very slow side)

MSI mistakenly reveals 8-core/16-thread Intel Rocket Lake-S CPU-Z specifications

New Microsoft Surface Laptop With 8-Core, 16-Thread AMD Ryzen 3780U Spotted in Fresh Benchmark; New Models Inbound

3780U instead of 4000 series???

Were you expecting MSoft to go with Zen 3?

The 4000 series were Zen 2, the 3xxx are still Zen+ and totally outdated by now, both on performance and on power consumption.

Here's something that's weird...

One of developers of Dragon Quest XI S on PC has posted/pinned a tread on how to close the game on steam... in 20 different languages... And the way they suggest it is to press the Alt F4 command instead of you know... The Exit Game button which they put in...

Return to the the main menu then try to exit the game without loading into a save...

Look what mainboard they are using. Those fucking bastards.

So the 980 Pro 2TB surfaced and it got me thinking about my storage setup.

The 2TB one will probably be around 500€ when it launches, which is pretty much on par. The 1TB version is 200€.

Then I got thinking about maybe using 2x1TB in RAID0 instead to have a cheaper and faster solution.

Then I realized my future mainboard only has 2 m.2 slots, which would mean I'd have to either use SATA or another PCIe slot for my system drive.

Then I checked if there is even a performance gain of putting a 7000MB read SSD in a RAID0 and I came to the conclusion that it's probably gonna be heavily bottlenecked by the onboard RAID controller.

Then I also realized that I only have 20 PCIe lanes on my CPU, which would mean one of the 2 SSDs would have to go through the chipset, which sucks.

So after going through that whole rabbit hole I have decided to stick with the 1TB version for games and 250GB for the system unless the 2TB are noticeably faster.

Also if anyone has documentation about the performance of onboard RAID controllers I'd appreciate it. I couldn't even find out what the RAID controllers on Asus mainboards are called. Is it some weird stuff built into the chipset? I would have to assume there is a dedicated RAID controller somewhere on the board, right?

I know onboard controller can't hold a candle to  dedicated ones but the technology has come far and I assume high end boards are using something pretty powerful.

I'm amused that PCgamer still hasn't bothered to pub an article on Phoenix Point hitting Steam, but then again, the devs haven't bothered with their marketing for it's Steam release either. They've even called Steam's release "year one edition" with a markup style discount.

Devs could have had my money a year ago, but Cyberpunk's out next week, so you snooze you lose I guess.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Do you really need the extra speed of the 980Pro?

I'm just saying because while it's only Gen3 and the speeds are limited to 3400MB/sec read and 3,000MB/sec write, the Corsair P400 4TB is just a bit over the price of the 2TB 980Pro, and while I'm sure you'll notice the extra space, I'm not sure you'll notice the extra speed.
