AMD Gpus right now are the ones that act as space heaters though.

i was going to counter with a picture of an nvidia waifu because im 100% sure that exists
but that was not a good google image search so no thank you
but that was not a good google image search so no thank you
Not sure if this is the right place for this so I apologize in advance. I have two monitors and I'm trying to determine which is the best for Destiny 2. My GPU is a GTX 1080.
I primarily used a ViewSonic XG2700-4k 27" Display, IPS Panel, 3840 x 2160 Resolution, 5 ms, 60 hz.
https://www.viewsonic.com/us/monitors/shop/elite-gaming-monitors/xg2700-4k-2.html
However I recently purchased an Asus ROG Swift PG279Q which is a 165 max hz, 2560 x 1440 resolution, 4 ms, as a secondary monitor.
https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q/
Which of the two should be used as the primary gaming monitor? Also note I play the PS4 Pro as well and would love to know which would be best for that as well. Any info you guys can provide would be GREATLY appreciated.

It's an EA game so Origin bound for sure
Getting it there myself
I sincerely doubt EA would put that game on another storefront besides Origin.
first of all, its a EA game so its Origin.
Second, if youre going by "this game uses UE time to panic" then 90% of the games these days would be EGS exclusive.
Honestly this beats Anthem flight suits of the later years.Are we forgetting what graphics card packaging used to look like?
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4039118/palit-x700-box.0.jpg)
Yup, I knew it was EA. Was just thinking how funny it would be if it came out on EGS due to EA making their own store to get rid of Steam so many years ago. Maybe it was only funny to me...
I don't see Epic ever convincing EA to buddy up. Its new releases are more or less Origin-exclusive these days.
Why have a gpu waifu when you can have a frog instead?
Or Creepy Ethan Hawke.

Is it true that Saber Interactive are no longer working on Quake Champions? I haven't found any official source, only these threads, and they've never been listed on the Steam page under the developer section so it's tricky to find out. It must be tricky working on a game running on different team's in-house engine.

There was something with Curators I was interested in. It seems like there are a hell of a lot of bot networks inflating follower accounts. Twice in the last couple of weeks I've been inside curators that have 5-8k followers but generate next to no click through traffic per user. One was a joke meme one and the other was a "serious" one. For example the serious one:
Way under 1 view influenced view per follower. Now compare to mine and another one from a PCEra user, they are generating around 39 and 140 views influenced per user!
I wonder what Steam Devs see when they look for curators to offer games to, is it just the follower count? As there seems to be a hell of a lot of curators out there gaming the system for free games. The one from the first picture had been offered 100s of games, I've been offered 9.

Might be worth throwing an email to Gabe and tweeting a few people - Valve peeps, random devs - to raise some awareness of it?
That was how it used to be for me as well, I could anonymously buy credit from a kiosk, input the 16 digit code, complete transaction. From one point on I couldn't pay without using a paysafecard account, which account by the way I had to verify with personal information before it was usable for transactions. Mind you I don't know if those changes affected all the markets paysafe operates on, maybe it's a domestic legislation thing. The one undisputed point though is that is not a universally accepted method for online stores, so might as well setup a cc for e-shopping
It must be bugged. There is no way I get 8k views from 35 subscribers. Or I have the most hardcore followers on Steam. Maybe.
Edit: Actually, it is the total number of views since the creation of the Curator page. The weekly number (~30 to ~150) views look reasonable.
These are the stats for my two Curator pages:

ok finally decided to finish sekiro
final boss fight wasn't my favorite, but it was fun. it was so weird seeing a normal, non ultra obtuse ending, but that's been the weird trip this game has taken us on
sekiro is definitely one of my favorite from games, it finally took a departure from the formula big enough that it made me excited again. it wasn't only wildly different in gameplay but it told its story in a new way and had an again unique yet familiar tone that was for once not completely hopeless. the combat system does lose a bit of its luster by the midgame, with a lot of fights starting to look the same and not just for the literal repeat bosses. i felt like phrostetics were kind of a missed opportunity too, they sound cool in theory but using them is too situational and it generally feels safer and more effective to just swing your sword instead, even in the cases you would optimally use them
to me that didn't matter tho, the boss fights still left me shaking at the end and the process of reattuning my brain to forget all these years of rolling to the side felt really rewarding, and the story is probably my favorite out of them all. having recurring characters with real conversations that are more than one note rambling into madness feels so fucking refreshing you wouldn't believe
i did the savescum trick to see all the endings and ended up going for the
sacrifice yourself
i played a little bit of ng+ and well, idk how much longer i'll continue. i like the idea of having some new bosses but there's little incentive to replay the whole game if you can't really switch playstyles. the lack of rpg elements does make replaying it a lot less interesting, tho i'll consider fooling my brain into caring about the last few remaining achievements as an excuse to play more of it
idk!
Yeah curators system is totally broken for devs from what I have read.
On otherhand, I heard it's very useful if you can boost (or pay for boost, eg. on one of steam key giveaways) to farm free games and posting generic reviews so you don't have to spend time on those so you look "active".

I'm nearly done with 7th guest, man what a tideous game. Nearly no fun at all.
Better of with a Prof Layton game, if you feel the itch for some puzzle stuff. :/
Buuut - I installed Ori yesterday and had a quick look if it runs fine. Once more I needed xinputemu for my Logitec gamepad to work properly, good thing I have that always in reach. And no remapping of the controls either, though I should be fine with default. Controls itself feel good, and Ori is animated so adorable!
And holy shit at the music, it is amazing! You get goosebumps just from the logos showing up!
Can't wait to really dive into it next weekend.

With a mere 22 followers, I've gotten a little over 4,000 "views influenced"
That's with 251 reviews though, which is kinda absurd. I really feel like I should be doing better.

Ori is a treat. Incredibly fun. The "escape" sections are somewhat divisive, but I enjoyed them immensely.
I almost bought the 7th Guest remake because of a coupon I got (presumably for owning the original version). Read some other mixed reviews/impressions when it came out. Sounds like it was the right choice to hold off.
I didn't look to much into it back in the day, but that's always mentioned as the hardest part, where some even quit. I hope, I'll be doing fine. ^^ I think they even said already, that there won't be any in the sequel, because of that..?
I was a bit bummed when they only offered discounts instead of a free upgrade; seemed still a bit pricy to me. They implemented some nice things - I would love to have subtitels and fast travel through the map. But it's def not worth the price.
The puzzles aren't something special and the pacing is my biggest issue, cause everything is so slow. Walking around the house is slow (and you have to do it a lot, and constantly revisit places) and every puzzle is also animated in a way, what makes it very slow. On top during your actions is always some dialogue you can't skip, and the game pauses for it. So, you try around at a puzzle. 2 clicks - pause. 2 more clicks - pause. And so on. Oh, you reached a dead end and the puzzle restarts. And with it the dialogue. Hurray!
That makes every puzzle a pain in the ass, even if you would enjoy trying it out. I was quickly using a walkthrough, just because of that.
Nothing. Which is apparently all that's needed on this site unless you're a troll in PC threads.
I realized something during my ban, I don't even enjoy coming on here anymore. It's constant arguments and trolling and bad moderation, day in, day out. I'm done. I'll be around in the discord, but I need to take a bit of a break from here.
And no, questionnaires on Discord will not magically make me believe you're going to improve your moderating. We've heard this shit before - Actions speak louder than words.
One thing to keep in mind about destiny 2 is that the aa solution, on pc, doesnt seem that great. It really benefits from resolution scaling or high resolution. I couldnt force aa through nvidia control. It just doesnt seem to work.
Maybe 1440p is enough though. If not downscale from in game menu.
Got Battlefront 2. Was getting that Star Wars itch and I think I could enjoy the campaign at the very least.
So many questions... There's a Discord? There are questionnaires? How do you join? I thought the Discord was closed some time after the site was set up.

I can't fathom how pubs/devs could look at those percentages and say "yeah, we don't need that audience"
Even if Epic paid you, you probably want to sell your next game. And we already know how vicious and patriotic the Chinese are (in regards to perceived insults or overlooking their importance).
Bought an TCL R617 55" to replace my 10 year old 1080p Emerson 40" that I use for my gaming setup. I'm excited but also kinda nervous to see how my R9 390 will handle it. I fortunately learned within minutes of the Amazon purchase that I need to use the Displayport with an HDMi adapter. It would have been a bummer for it to get here and not be able to use 4k.
I'm used to still being able to max out stuff for the most part with the 390. I know that won't be the case with 4k gaming, but I'm hoping it will still be a big enough improvement that even if I end up running things at 1400 or even 1080 for the really demanding games to keep a nice FPS it will still be worth it. And Ill have a TV capable of going full 4k60fps when that becomes viable for cards in the next couple of years.... Right?

I feel like there's a big gap in people knowing how big Steam actually is outside the Western world.
Countries known wholesale for piracy turned into paying customers cause they were given an easier/cheaper option.
Sony learned this early on also by making huge strides outside the Western market with the PlayStation.
Been playing through Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko's Hysteric Birthday Bash. I knew this was going to be a more wacky game, but I've still been surprised at just how funny it is, while still mixing in some traditional Corpse Party horror/tragedy at the appropriate parts. Definitely an odd ball game, but I'm enjoying throwing myself back into this world again and seeing all of the characters in a different environment.
You haven't seen anything yet.

Dev did good job by adding language support for China.
When I was deciding on my current PC and getting a PS3/4, I found Steam did not separate regions up into pieces and then serve them with different standards. It was what ultimately led me to get into PC gaming in the first place. This was way back when though so things were different then but the fact that Valve did not separate the store out and you could take part is sales was a plus for me into getting full into PC gaming.
