Nothing's in stock and everything costs twice as much as it should because of Brexit. Yay! New computer (at some unknown point in the future)!

GTX 970 , 770 and 1070 were at $300 if I remember correctly .
They changed the name to RTX , everything is +$200 or +$300 now if you can get it at launch price ... otherwise it will be 2x or 3x the price from scalpers Maybe I should wait a few years and buy used instead . RTX 3070 cost near $1000 in my place... I paid 100000 for a new house , 1000 for a mere graphic card no thank you Laptop: Mini PC ::
If you are persistent, and I mean PERSISTENT, you can get a 3000 series RTX GPU direct from retail, scalper free! We got our new GPU by watching Now In Stock and just, trying over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... Took over a month but, got one! It's here!
Fortunately the situation is only going to get better from here. It may not happen speedily, but, it's improving. If you don't want to deal with all of this hassle, just wait it out!

Playing Sekiro on a dance pad I couldn't beat this game without trying so many times on a PS3 gamepad and this guy did it without breaking a sweat .... Laptop: Mini PC ::
With the 1.09 patch, Horizon Zero Dawn's biggest bugs are all fixed, and I've picked up the game again! And wow, they fixed -so many bugs-. There are still a few, but no big ones. Like, Frame pacing is correct now, HDR is working correctly, grass reacts to aloy, all animations are 60fps, the weird jumps after a camera cut are fixed, shader compilation is now live rather than all at the start, a bazillion crashes are fixed, just, wow, this game is tremendously better than it was when it first released on PC! I'm very glad I waited to play it.
Now that I'm playing it again, I'm changing things up and playing it on Very Hard. And much to my surprise, it's designed SUPER well. "Hard" in video games so commonly means "bullet sponges" (ugh), the game being an ass toward the player, or even taking away or making extremely difficult basic functionality like saving. All if those suck. But this game does hard difficulty really well. It boosts armour of the enemies, and cranks their damage to you WAAAY up, aand yet, I can still OHKO many enemies by hitting their weak points, and stuns and other effects work the same way. Due to their tough armour and NASTY damage, it pushes me to fully utilize the extents of the mechanics. Like, if I dodge a Sawtooth and pop it a few times and repeat, it's going to take forever, and two hits from he Sawtooth is all it takes to kill me! So just dancing around and popping it is no longer a good strategy. Instead, I need to take out its armor, then freeze it, and stun it, and pop its blaze canister, on and no. It makes the really awesome mechanics it has useful. And it feels sooooo great to play. It mates very well with the steam controller, which lets me do very precise aiming without aim assist while playing on our HDR TV. Very nice! So yeaa, Very Hard, native 4k, max settings on everything, HDR on our Q9FN, and mouse control without aim assist on my steam controller. I'm adoring this playthrough! It's still a great game, but now even better than it was back on our PS4 Pro!

Stop making me want to replay Horizon Zero Dawn. I already beat it on PS4 Pro and got all the Suns
Hopefully Cyberpunk 2077 will be as polished as HZD in 4-6 months (sooner is better ofc). So glad I side-stepped the PS4 version of CP'77 and went PC. I really like how Guerilla Games stuck to making HZD better instead of letting it just be another "okay-ish" PC port. Impressive that they did the port, kept improving it, and are busy making the sequel.
I'm on my 2nd playthrough on PC. Still need to beat the game on Ultra Hard Mode. Shield Weaver outfit + maxed out Adept weapons evens out the difficulty. Adept War Bow maxed out for Freeze + Adept Hunter Bow maxed out for Attack makes short work of Thunderjaws (easy < 20 second kill). Banuk Werak Chieftain outfit is nice to never have to worry about recovering health. Last time I played, I was at 28 for Ghost Levels, so... 2.8 million xp... Yeah, I play this game a lot...
CP2077 and HZD have completely different problems tho
I took FFVII on Switch since I still have to play this classic. Backgrounds are very blurry but since since I already spent 10 hours on it, I'll finish it on Switch. I tried the Playstation version with native resolution and the CRT Royale shader, it looks way better than any of the ports, that's frustrating. But the x3 speed and disable random battles options on Switch are great.
From France with love.
