Valve recommends launch week discount unless you're really big to boost your game up the top seller list during launch week for more exposure.
I see Fata Morgana so yay.What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

Without knowing the reason of your hatred of Civ, here's my summary.
The combat is not as quick and concise as HoMM. It's much more detailed.
The city buildings aspect is much more detailed than HoMM but not near Civ.
TLDR
Combat Complexity: AoW > HoMM >>>>>>>>> Civ
City Management: Civ > AoW >> HoMM
Just a correction. AoW isn't a RTS it's a 4X with tactical combat.
It's quite embarassing, they haven't touched that abomination in over 15 years. Not saying AMD's driver are better overall but they at least invest some money into the user experience. No idea why NV bothered to build GeForce Experience, yet still haven't put all the other settings in there.
Yeah, I know i want the 2TB SSD, but I don't know if I want to pay 2TB SSD prices lol.
Good news is that a few drive repairs later, everything is working fine. Should still look into replacing this drive more than likely, but I'll cheap out a little bit longer.
they never brought it to steam so I never bought it :shrugemoji:
I want to upgrade from a 1060 6GB to a RTX 2070. My brain (and wallet) say no but my heart says dooo it right now.
It would be something like a 80%~ish boost in performance or something like that (depends on the game, of course), but, if you do end up getting it, make sure you have a good enough power supply, since the 2070 needs quite a bit more power than the 1060.
I have a 550W Corsair bronze, according to pcpartpicker it should be enough, what do you think?
Yeah, should be fine, though if you intend to overclock, I would avoid manually overclocking (CPU as well, depending on what CPU you have) just to be safe (the small overclocks from the custom models should be fine too though).
My CPU (i5 8400) cant be overclocked so I should be safe from that. In general I don't like to overclock because I always feel that I'm going to screw something up haha
2 hours into The Room and it's creeeepy. It's not so hard that you get irritated and run to Google, but you still have to use your head to solve the puzzles. They got the balance just right. Performance feels a little laggy though when rotating the camera, even when I lowered it to medium graphics. So I just bumped it back to 'good'. Might as well look good while it's creeping me out.
I think Square is aware. I'm curious what their expectations for Left Alive are...
The budget obviously isn't huge so I think they're gonna be okay. And for me, it's the most interesting title of March. :D
Looks like MGSV but with mechs and an actual story. Hoping it finds it's niche!
MRORANGE I just beat Hard West. Final set of missions in the lsat campaign were ok, not as good as their predecessors IMO, but it's core concept is welcome.
I think I'm one step close to being ready for XCOM :P
Added!

Ah, yeah, then it should be completely fine, the i5 8400 has a rather low power consumption to begin with. ^^
I don't overclock as well, though in my case it's because I don't want the power consumption of my PC to be too high. xD
I've even underclocked my CPU a little bit, i7 9700K, I lowered the turbo clocks a bit, I kept the turbo for 1 core load at the default 4.9 GHz, but reduced the turbo by 0.1 for each aditional core, ending at 4.2 for 8 cores load instead of the 4.6 default. <-<
No, the ending where you leave your waifu is not valid for the waifu challenge.
For Lossless Scaling, it seems to be aimed more at older or 2D games, something Nvidia probably isn't interested in. And for modern 3D games that can run natively at super high resolutions, I guess they would rather you bought their latest graphics cards to run them at native resolutions and high framerates rather than give us a good scaling method for older hardware. But yeah I'm sure they could do it. I would really like a checkerboard rendering solution on PC.
So the last items I got from my bonus pay finally arrived, was waiting on my Nike AF1 ID and the Anne Pro 2, this was my Christmas haul this year:
Anne Pro 2 - It's a mechanical Bluetooth keyboard with white Kaliah switches, very nice typing experience, also ordered a set of custom keycaps off bangood but they won't be here for a while.
They keyboard did come with some coloured key-caps which does make it it pretty nice already. Really loving the 60% keyboard, I can understand they hyp behind them.
Also picked up some NikeID Air Force 1 High's
So comfy.
Managed to snag a deal on the apple watch series 4 cellular - life changer.
Also a orngae strap of course.
PS1 Classic that was half-price, played it once... now in the closet like the snes classic.
This was an interesting pick-up, this guy in HK does clear shell DS refurbs so picked this up, It's okay, the D-PAD is not great but it could be the rubber contact, will need to look into this.
Some good old Joop. I buy a few of these at Christmas as they go dirt cheap.
Embarrassingly I didn't previously own this:
Some more light reading.
Audio Technica ATH-C200BT, really glad I got these, I am not a big fan on in-ear headphones with those removable rubber things as they never stick in or I lose them, not in the UK yet so had to order them from japan.
Street Fighter Capcom mug.
Which heats up to show a hadouken!
My £3 mouse got upgrade to a £14.99 mouse, the G203 is nice but still getting used to it.
Also RGB:

Haha told ya
And it gets better and better I'd say. I could barely get through the latest one, The Room: Old Sins. Had to use the hints many times
Damn, you are rich! But in all seriousness that keyboard looks awesome. I am going to check it out.
Yeah, I was reluctant to buy a way too big PSU on my new build, but everything has been fine with it. I don't think I've never OC a GPU before, too.
Congrats! Anne Pro 2 is great. I prefer the Black one myself (with the blue switches). I went this these keycaps to go with it: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/70691 (Ironically the keycaps cost almost twice as much as the AP2, but whatever)
Oh I was just talking about myself not playing it at launch, I actually wanna buy and play it, it looks like a corny game with PS2 tier VA and story and I mean this in the best of ways.
Looks like a dye-sub PBT kit. Those will last forever. And quite cheap too. You found a good deal there.
Had the original Anne Pro for about a year and loved it. Only issue I had was the bluetooth would disconnect every once in a while when typing, but overall it wasn't bad enough to warrant plugging it in. Wonder how the latency has improved in the second one.
Hitman 2 has really nice textures for the amount of variety present, almost justifies being 120 gbs
Edit: the character faces in Last Light are so bad and waxy, weird since the rest of the game holds up super well.

35% of the active Sea of Thieves players play on PC. That's a lot, for such a broken store. In august, 5 million people had played Sea of Thieves.
Was expecting more PC announcements from Microsoft today, but I guess they've pushed them to a different date.
