Intel reveals brand new desktop processors along with their Core i9-10900K flagship

Still getting an AMD CPU. Can Intel be trusted? I wonder what "tricks" they've used with these new CPUs to be competitive.

And talking of "ME", it's high time I disabled it finally!

I'm getting really close to a CPU/MB upgrade from my i7 4790k. What to get though? :D Really tired of Intel's nonsense. I'll be sticking with my GTX970 for the foreseeable future though. I would certainly jump on an AMD GPU if it suited me but very happy with nVidia right now.

I've only played about 30 minutes, I couldn't take it :D I will get back to it at some point though!

I've nearly finished my first run through and I'm enjoying it a lot. The Xen levels are gorgeous.

Quoting: stuffThere will be several Options for moving, including one to move "normally". (I think it's shown in the 2nd video from Valve if I remember correctly).

Hah! I only watched the first and third videos

Thanks to all for commenting. I do think it looks great and would love to play it.

I don't have VR or plan to get it any time soon, due to cost, but would like to try it at some point. The thing that's bugging me in these videos is the movement. "Leaping" from place to place ruins the immersion, or so I would have thought. Is it not possible to move "normally"?

Quoting: JanneAnd if you do have some spare cash, it's worth mentioning that Mindustry, Wesnoth (and perhaps others) are available on Steam for pay. You can support the creators with a bit of coin and grind those sweet, sweet Steam achievements too.

Can I echo this sentiment :) I've very quickly racked up 80 hours in Mindustry and it cost just a few pounds(£)

Have you played Slayaway Camp? A killer-puzzle game that's genuinely good fun

I've had this ages and it's great for revisiting for a quick puzzle or two between the more "time sink" games I own. The style is excellent and amusing and the puzzles can be quite tricky, then you kick yourself when you finally work one out!
