I got a great deal on a 1950X setup due to a NewEgg sale, and it’s been a powerhouse for various “serious” tasks, but each individual core is pretty anemic and that does hurt it in a few games. If laptop cores are matching or exceeding that, I feel confident in sticking with AMD for the next little while.

Did you play Zero Dawn previously? How are you finding Forbidden West, play-wise? It feels “heavier” to me, somehow. Maybe I just got used to fully-upgraded Aloy in HZD…

I’m working on getting all the ending dialogues for Metal Slug Tactics right now. It’s a fun turn-based tactics take on the Metal Slug franchise with a dash of roguelike. The graphics maintain the series’ hand-animated aesthetic and the sprites are super-cute, but the most rewarding part is unlocking skills and weapons for each character to allow bigger and more ridiculous combo moves. Other than that, Stormworks, my “second job”.

Should I mail them my money, or d’you think they prefer it… Wired?

Yeah, making Valve watch Microsoft throttle their Zune360 in the cradle seems pretty cruel to me.
