    If you haven't tried them, give Ori a go. I finished Ori and the Blind Forest, it was amazing. Then I went on to Ori and the Will of the Wisps which builds on the first one. So in the first one you'll be unlocking stuff and in the second one you can still do all those things and some extra stuff you'll have to select according to the situation.

    Beware though, some of the things they expect you to do can be challenging.

    Play on PC if your monitor supports HDR, otherwise Switch'll do fine.

    Fair point on the gods thing but in my language (and also English and German and probably some others) there's one named for the Sun and one for the moon. But yeah I like that the Portuguese don't really make it too complicated or random and just number the days.

    Except for the missing first and seventh day. Also if you're north western European centric you might have a problem when naming starts on Sunday. Segundo is dinsdag in my mind.

  • Why do shows on streaming platforms waste time with "previously on" recaps?

    I think there are loads of people that watch several shows at once and get their wires crossed. But there are platforms that are able to skip those

    Still need PayPal for some transactions that require a credit card. In the Netherlands, credit cards aren't as commonplace as in the USA since we only pay with money we actually have.

    I'm not saying I discredit your argument, I'm just angry at companies requiring either a credit card or PayPal (or even worse, those buy now pay later deals).

    Crisps or air fryer party mix containing stuff like frikadellen, chicken nuggets or bitter balls. If you don't know number 1 and 3 then I feel sorry for the sad life you have lived up until now and urge you to get off your ass and find a snack bar somewhere between Zierikzee and Delfzijl.

    This is essentially my situation too. I spend quite a bit of money on these small purchases for hobbies. But I'm easily clearing a couple hundred a month to buy stocks, save, do something really stupid, et cetera.

  • Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution

    I think primarily all the systems using like Skylake and Kaby Lake cpus will now flock to Linux after win10 support is over. The i7-7700K is still a beast so it'd be a shame if that becomes e-waste. I think we'll see it getting used in home media servers and the like. My old i7-4770 is in my home server with Arch Linux and it does great.

    I am in the exact same position there. My wife uses her laptop only professionally now, she used to game on it but she has a Series S for that now. I once asked her if she wanted windows 11 on her laptop since it meets the requirements, she's way to afraid it'll be too different so switching to Linux will be too much of a hassle

    Yeah I think you're 100% correct but a guy can hope. For my country, if it's gonna touch them in their wallets I guess we might see a change. On the other hand, most folks walk around with 8 year old fucked up laptops that desperately need replacing anyway so they'll just get that new one after all.

    Headphone choice

    Hey all, I've narrowed it down to 3 options: AKG K371 (at €149) AKG K361 (at €104) AKG K182 (at €69) Use case is just at my desk. I have CX Wireless for on the road and wireless listening. I like a full low end and defined, crisp highs. I mostly listen to soft easy listening like Mazzy Star or rougher rock bands like Evanescence, Bad Omens etc. I also listen to melodic electronic music. I've read a lot of reviews and I can't really decide on the soundstage. For this I've chosen AKG because I have the K512 mk2's now and I've been very pleased with them. As for comfort, I need them not to clamp after an hour or two. I don't mind having to pause every now and then. Any other recommendations welcome. But bottom line, I think 69 for the K182 is a great deal even though the K3x1s might be better cans.

    Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23). Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT. Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier. I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along. Thoughts?
