    How old is your smartphone?

    Less than a year on my current one, but I kept my last one almost 4 years. Hoping to do the same with this one.

    Championship/EFL Thread 23/24

    They've had an unbelievable season. Crazy to think they didn't even win L1 last season and both teams they came up with are in relegation danger.

    *** The Official macOS Sonoma thread ***

    Has anyone used OpenCore Patcher to get Sonoma onto an older Mac? Wondering what the performance is like.

    Where to buy Mac mini

    I'd second this, although there are sometimes decent offers on at other retailers.

    Far Cry 6 5/10 A fun way to pass the time for a few evenings, but too generic. Felt like a reskinned FC5. Moved on to Tears of the Kingdom... almost finished it. 9/10. Amazing!

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    It's come such a long way. I tried Cyberpunk on the OG Steamdeck shortly after launch and the performance was so patchy. It was just about playable, but not enjoyable. Now, especially with the OLED deck, the performance is amazing. Smooth, reliable and with good fps.

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    Currently replaying stuff I've not played for years via the SteamDeck. Finished Max Payne 3 for the first time in 10 years. Really enjoyed it.

    What's your personal GOAT ? (Game of all time)

    Bioshock. Literally a masterpiece in every way. Story, level design, atmosphere, gameplay, moral system, acting... Everything is perfect.

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Did anyone do this? I'll give it a whirl if not. Edit... Not sure where the results are at the end of the test (I've not done this map on csgo before). Seemed to average about 90fps. Power draw was about 18w, so 2ish hours of battery at those settings. Resolution you wanted wasn't an option...

    I paid last Tuesday. Shipped on Thursday afternoon. Nothing on tracking since then.

    Valve announces the SteamDeck

    Nice. How are people getting on with other launchers? I'm expecting my deck later this summer but like most people, I have games spread across Steam, Epic, Gog, RStar, Ubi, Origin, etc.

    GeForce GTX 1630 Review

    I'm a big supporter of low end cards... It's a huge gateway to PC gaming for kids. The 1030 was a pretty decent card for £70 back in the day. The entry level performance on this is fine, but who on earth is going to buy it at £180?? OCUK have a 1660 listed for £199. An entry level gamer on a...

    Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. 6/10 Not quite as good as the first one. Story is a little formulaic but as a free game on EA Play, it was worth doing. Finish it in 3-4 sessions so it isn't long.

    RTX 3050 - starting at $249 (msrp)

    GT1030 runs Fortnite at 1080p Medium settings with comfortably 60fps+. I guess I'm just lucky that the popular online games at the moment really aren't demanding.

    RTX 3050 - starting at $249 (msrp)

    Same boat here. My kids play Fortnite, Rocket League, Roblox and Minecraft. A 1030 runs all those fine at 1080p.

    Crysis Remastered - 4/10 Money grabbing superficial remaster. I've bought Crysis twice before, on disc when it first came out then a few years later on steam. There was no way I was going to pay for it again, especially at £25, but it came to EA Play recently so I gave it a go. Graphics are...

    *** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

    The PC Health check thing seems dubious. It's saying my 1 year old Surface Go isn't compatible with 11. Surely that's not true.
