Heh, I still have the original Delta Force.

(no idea if the disk is still good, but...)

:)

Valheim: Ashlands is out now with a supremely cool animated trailer

I used an existing world. No issues. We never explored that far south (for just this reason).

It is intense.

Remember folks: Git out the fire!
Red water: bad!

:D

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: ShabbyXRecently started Valheim over the hype with the expectation that I won't like it (not into survival games in general). But damn, this game is fun!

Won't forget my first encounter with a troll that's for sure.
You never forget the first time you get killed by a falling tree either lol
Nope! (of course, we do try to smoosh anyone else when chopping trees. Agility Practice, that's it!)

Going to have to either make sure the fire thingies don't go to previous biomes, or see about upgrading roofs.

(gotta wait for mods to update before playing. sigh)

:D

Not buying that pile of fecal matter twice.

I was really really disappointed with D4.

I don't want to give M$ any $ but... conflicted.
Keeping my WoW sub as next year is the 20th anniversary.
Still have my stupid fallout 1st sub (mostly for the junk storage and the cheaty world).

Oh, and M$ published a HowTo install Linux? A rather decent one too.

Don't give a rats patootie about consoles anyway. :P

Guess I'm just gonna have to see what they DO in the future.

(if they ever put the windows GUI on top of a Linux kernal and make their own distro...
well, that'll be the time to snag a keg. My brain will be thoroughly fried)

mumble....

(yes, I really really hate M$)

If I set monitor scaling to 125%, then steam seems to be the right size.
Everything ELSE is too large though.

sigh (and the scaling button in steam does nothing)

Scaling? bwahahahaaha!!!

Farking thing is totally borked.

The scaling option does absolutely nada. turn on/off no change. nuttin.

Fonts/pics are GINORMOUS!! unusable.

I've got 2 HD monitors and a 4k one. 4k in the center, hd on each side.

1) steam always goes to the left monitor. (#1 in settings), open settings/anything in steam, goes to monitor 1.
2) I can't even tell what size the fonts are, but oh 32 or so? Icons are also huge. (same scale)
3) Where are the bloody borders? Oh, right, morons are doing it as if it was a touch screen. Um, where is my clue by 4?

btw, this doesn't happen under windows. (same box, dual boot) ... well, except for no borders, but you have an area to grab to move the thing, and it remember to go on monitor 3. (right hand one)

OH, this is a beta version, right.... um.. HELLO!!! I did not opt in to to it! Oh right, someone messed up and pushed it to everyone. (it's in the forums)

NO, I'm not happy about this version. Bugs are one thing, but dagnabbit, do NOT push a touchscreen interface onto the PC.
aka, console vs PC. (yes, it is a pet bugaboo of mine)

harrumph.

AND GIT OFF MA LAWN!!

;p
