Yup brand new DD. So far they asked for a clip of the wheel.. I send them a sound clip of the grinding. hopefully the turnaround time is quick.

 

We've been hooked on No Mans Sky lately. Seems like they've made some pretty big improvements over the past few years compared to the reviews/gripes from launch. I really wish at least one developer would manage to get terraforming right. Doesn't seem to matter what game it is, I either end up having to excavate my base out of the side of a damn mountain because the terrain respawns, or it's so poorly optimized that the frame rate drops are insane.

 

I have about 70 hours on NMS.. 55-60 of them on good progress.. update happened, savegame got corrupt. Started fresh, played few hours.. new update happened, again save game got corrupt. I havent touched it since.

 

I've been playing ready or not with my friends and it has been so much fun. Probably the most fun i've had in a video game in a few years.

 

Valheim update.. Caves update for the Mountains biome went live yesterday.

• New crafting materials: Red jute, Fenring hair, Fenring claw, Cultist head Trophy
• New armour set: Fenris Coat, Fenris Leggings, Fenris Hood (equip all at once for an extra bonus!)
• New weapon: Flesh Rippers (Fists Weapon)
• New build pieces: Red jute carpet, Red jute curtain, Standing brazier

 

Been trying to learn some rally. Just ordered this bad boy.

 

Currently playing and loving Elden ring. I got a real soft spot for Fromsoft games. I wished they put a bit more of Sekiro's combat into it, but the world is fantastic.

 

I'm still playing Empire. It's been 2 years and I'm in one of the top alliances now. If anyone wants to play LMK and I will help you move up quickly.

 

Lost Ark for me. North America East Ladon server.

 

Started playing State of Decay: 2 with some friends. Enjoying it so far, forces you into much more of a coop experience than some of the other zombie survival games.

 

I heard good reviews about state of decay 2 but after what the developers did with State and Decay 1, i'm definitely not supporting them. They forced an update that forces you to buy the new dlc or you cant play the game you purchased. They nearly got kicked off of steam for that nonsense.

 

Wow, what a load of bullshit that is. The only reason we're playing it is that we picked up Game Pass subscriptions so it was "free" to download.

 

Sooo i've been eyeing some rumblers for my sim rig.. Finally decided to pull the trigger.



This one is in the back rest. I will be moving this further up. Currently jiggles the kidneys which is a no go.



This is the butt shaker.



The amp i'm using.. 2x50 but in reality it's more like 2x30watt which is more than enough.



Wired up.



I'm using Simhub for telemetry and signal. Currently I have it configured for ABS locking, tire slips, track details and so on. Simhub activates the rumblers based on telemetry, not sound even though it uses a sound amp.

After driving for about 3 hours i like it. Just as i said gotta move the one in the back up a little bit since currently it rumbles right on the kidneys and will knock all the stones loose.

 

I've had my Steam Deck for 3 weeks now. At first i was kinda "meh" with it since i'm a mouse and keyboard guy. But once i got used to the controller again, i absolutely fell in love with it. It makes going on these long cross country trips a little more relaxing. I've gotten back into platformer games and i'm having so much fun.

If you're on the fence about getting one, don't be. If you got the time away from your PC, get it. It's worth the price IMO.

 

Speaking of portable gaming.. I have a 8" Tablet.. a simple OTS cable and a ps4 controller and i can play ps1 games.

 

Found this beautiful gem!!!

 

I played the **** out of that game. Downloaded extra cars from sketchy sites on the internet and everything. It was a simpler time, and I was in elementary school lol.

One was a monster truck that could go over 250mph but could turn hardly at all. Had to download across three different floppy disks, which took forever to download over dial-up.

 

They added a download link to the video. I lapped few laps on it. far from perfect but it's fun

 

Makes me want to get a portable gaming tablet for work. Glad I found this thread. Might need to start searching.

 

Here's something new brewing. Direct Drive Logitech wheel
