Surprised to see my GPU so low in the boards.

RX6600XT with only 0.43% market share.

Slight increase in 4060 (non-TI and TI) usage across the board.

Yup, approximately what I had in mind, under 15% of the original player base.

The grinding needed in D2 and D3 didn’t feel as tiresome as it is in D4.

It might be that I’m becoming older, “grumpier” by the years and that I don’t have the patience and time to grind correctly anymore.

Exactly. They’re maybe the minority but every one who played D2 and D3 with me along the years have given up on D4 after a month. They preferred going back to D2R.

I wonder what % of the player base has disappeared from the game since launch.

Interesting, I’ll be a day one buyer, it seems fun!

Sadly, they won’t change the naming scheme as more naive people still buy in the “micro” aspect of the name.

It’s never too late to learn a language. However, French is one hell of a step coming from English.

French is my main language and even if I’ve been speaking it for close to 40 years now, I still learn language exceptions and rules today.

Still, I’d give it a go if I were you, learning something new is always fun. Enjoy!

Good, and it deserves it. I bought multiple copies over the years and sunk way more than 3000h in this game. Congrats Mojang/Microsoft.

I don’t know much about Acer’s proprietary software but there must be some place that you can set your battery to charge up to 60-80%. If you plan to use it while plugged most of the time, choose that option, it will extend your battery life.

Yes, with the proper care, your laptop can last you many years. It all comes down to how you handle it and maintain it.

It is. However, if you can grab it through Gamepass Ultimate, go for it. You could buy a couple months worth of subscription and cancel it once you’re done with the game. It would be cheaper than buying it upfront.

Oh don’t misunderstand me, I know it’s meaningless.

I was just wondering why some people are stuffing up their numbers and calling out other gamers for having less expertise than them based on playtime.

Thanks for your answer!

He’s a doctor in an ICU unit. Our job just doesn’t let us play at work (and it’s a good thing).

Thanks for your answer!

I like it the way it is, even if the number of weekly/monthly posts has drastically dropped recently.

However, it is not happening only on PC Gaming; most redditors who left Reddit following the 3rd party apps closure backlash are going back there anyway. My province’s Lemmy community (New-Brunswick) hasn’t seen a new post/thread in the last fifty-ish days.

I know that I should do more to keep the communities I participate in alive but I’m still getting used to Lemmy/Jerboa.

Bottom line, PC Gaming is doing alright. Thanks for your work!

About Pokemon, there’s a studio (Crema) who made a Pokemon-like game called Temtem. Different mechanics (stamina instead of PP, 2vs2 instead of 1vs1 etc). I’m in my second playthrough and I can guarantee there are going to be plenty more. I’d check that out.

Ray tracing enabled.

Good, let it rot at the bottom.

If only shareholders could see what is happening and change their mind on what is a good, appealing game (à la BG3).

I’ll keep dreaming.

I read the article more as; AMD is the one to currently offer sub-300$ (CAD) gaming-capable GPUs as opposed to the prices of the RTX 3060 and upwards. Hence the “Watch out AMD” as they could lose the only spot they have a grip on right now, low-to-mid level gaming-only GPUs.

I believe they know the market share AMD has is nowhere close to what Nvidia has.

I do too.

Brand new AM5 low-to-mid range complete gaming build for under 700$? Count me in.

I do run 1440p/120Hz on most of my games and I don’t even have the 6650XT (I own an ASRock PG 6600XT).

It would be more than enough for most titles in medium-to-high settings at 1440p/120Hz. Some recent games (yes, you, Diablo 4) will max out the 8GB vRAM so you’ll have to tinker with settings until you hit a sweetspot but it manages 1440p.

Edit; as I wrote the reply, the card price increased to 400 CAD. Keep looking for deals, add them to your saved/watch list and order then.

This would be a decent GPU if you still play in 1080p/144-165hz, from the MSI store on Amazon.ca
