I used to play CS back in the day and a friend convinced me to go to a LAN party. Now I thought I was a major pothead back then until I met those guys at the LAN party. A few of them started out with a gravity bong on god knows what, but it was super strong and my vision was like no longer normal after one hit. Didn't seem to affect how good they were though.
Yesterday I played Liftoff for 30 mins (to keep my skills up) and then last night Fallout 4, which i definitely shouldn't play.
Strangely, I was thinking about Enemy Territory the other day. Yes I played it a lot for about a year. I think when I got fed up with CS 1.6 I ended up playing RTCW:ET. I played medic or engineer class, most of the time. Then the game seemed to die for some reason. i went to CS Source after that.
Well, I've added Elden Ring to my library. I hear it is much like Skyrim in size and i'm looking forward to spending a few hundred hours exploring it, finding every secret and learning item locations. Oblivion is also on offer currently. But until I can upgrade to a 5th gen Ryzen 5 or 7 I don't think it will run all that well.
My attempt to upgrade a few months back failed when the motherboard (purportedly good for 4th gen and 5th gen Ryzen) failed to work with a Ryzen 5 4500 on any BIOS version with any hardware configuration. But it works fine on 2nd and 3rd gen. It's a B550 chipset. Currently running a Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 2080 Ti, with 32GB Ram, but for Oblivion i think I need either a 3700 or maybe 3900 or a 5700, but don't have the budget for those sort of upgrades right now.

I'd be interested to hear how Elden Ring is.
I'm still playing Fallout 4 and Dawn of Man but I've just been looking at Atomfall in the spring sale. I know it has mixed reviews and is flawed but how many games are set in the Lake District?

Elden ring is amazing but it’s unforgiving but once you beat an enemy after dying 48 times in a row you’ll jump up an start pumping air doggie style or at least I did several times
You are very correct. It's very grindy though and the ball rune farming location at Lenne's Rise, I must have spent hours there pushing up my stats. I started out my first build and got pulverised in every dungeon and after 69 hours made it to lvl 100 and then I managed to start beating some bosses. It is way more indepth than Skyrim.
My first build was the same one I play in Skyrim, a Spellsword type build. I'm now doing my second one after learning a lot of stuff. The main problem I had was I didn't use better equipment or at least i think that is the root problem. I was at lvl 50 using lvl 10 weapons and armor. I found an Ash called Carian Grandeur, applied it to a Claymore and then after that I smoked about 15 bosses back to back. I do admit to having the interactive Elden Ring map open in a browser and I watched about 50 YT videos to try and get a handle on all the mechanics of the game.
I'm still playing it and it works well for my obsessive needs.

I would say to try Elden Ring if it comes up on Sales again, but I wouldn't pay full whack for it. I got my copy for £33 and it was worth it. It is like Skyrim, but more advanced. The game map is absolutely massive, like maybe 2x larger than Skyrim. If you do, just accept your first build will be imperfect and is more about exploring the maps and learning the mechanics, of which there are a lot. I suspect you would need to put a few hundred hours in to get to a level where you understand the game.
Atomfall looks good as well. Have you tried Fallout London?
Mostly Subnautica VR, Fallout 4 VR, Skyrim VR, Elite dangerous. I need to get back and finish KCD2, but just been reading about the Fallout 4 London VR port so that's not likely to happen soon

Looking at using Xemu Xbox emulator, I want to play Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell again in chronological order.. I was a kid last time I played them and rushed through them all

Treated myself to a month of PS Plus and got fairly good at Gran Turismo, won a couple of races and had some good one's starting from the back, now it's run out again so it's back to the ol 16bit Sega

Played Elite on my BBC computer the day it came out. Miss that game, mind blowing wire frame graphics and all. The slick remakes are.. slick remakes 8(
I had the first Outer Worlds, absolutely hated it. It was sold as an open world and was nothing like an open world. Open world to me is Skyrim, Fallout 4, Elden Ring, etc. That wasn't. it was just a handful of boring quests and small, linear maps.
Still have that. Bought the original a week after it came out and played it for about an hour and never touched it since. Not my cup of tea.

I'm after Stalker 2, (new) Oblivion and DL: The Beast. i'm not sure if any will run on my current system. I suspect i need a better CPU for one thing.
So I bought a new MSI motherboard at Christmas so i could eventually upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5800 and this damned board will not run anything over 3rd gen and I tried every BIOS version, five different sticks of ram and it just wouldn't post. I threw in an old Ryzen 2600 and it boots without issue. CCL took it back, tested it on a 3950 and it worked fine, but refused to test it on a 4th or 5th gen, which was very telling. So on my hitlist at some point is possibly a Ryzen 7 3800X or Ryzen 9 3900X, but leaning more to the 3800X at the minute. That should remove any cpu bottleneck.
The other problem is video. I'm still running an RTX 2080 Ti and I think I would need at least a 4070 or 5070 to run either of those games with decent framerate, but I can't drop that kind of money on a video card right now.
Same with ram prices. I mean WTF!! 32GB of DDR5 for £400 and that's not even the top stuff. Thankfully I bought a lot of other older stuff and stockpiled it, in the last couple of years when it was on offer, so i was sat on 64GB of DDR4 for this build and had bought several m.2 drives and other SSD early last year and in the prior Black Friday, so I was squared away on that front, But when it costs less to buy the RTX 5070 than to buy 64GB of ram, something is very wrong with the world.
