    Do you still have an optical drive?

    Civilization VI

    It's a steam bug - seems the checkout can't deal with £0.00 - just pick a really cheap game (which you will have to buy ) and also have it in the cart to buy and it'll go through for free - That's what I did and it works (had all the DLC previously - not anthology)

    pretty much the only one I bought that was released this year (since it's been the worse year ever for releases imho) Wildermyth

    Top 5 PC Games ( 2011 - 2021 )

    I went and had a look at what I have the most hours on for this - In no particular order Civ 6 Skyrim Cities : Skylines XCom Grim Dawn LOTRO would have had a honorary mention but it was published 2007 (still better than most 'modern 'MMO's imho

    ****** Official World of Warships Thread ******

    Already petitioned PEGI about WoWs rating - ATM it appears everything with WoWs is hidden behind some some of gambling scam , Note: you never see the odds of any of the lootboxes published by WG (and that's after being caught out by the community multiple times) and even after that a lot of...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 with 27" 1440 Monitor

    yes - that's what I run - 1080GTX with a Dell S2721DGF (1440p 165Hz) Games like World of Warships / Civ 6 run easily at 144Hz at max settings , however more modern games may need the settings reducing or accepting lower frame rates . The monitor you've linked is Gsync compatible so you...

    Humankind - Amplitude Studio's take on Civilization

    I've played it so 1hr last night and a further 30 minutes today, Unfortunately it's not hooking me at all . Should have guessed really as I never truly got into Endless Legends or Endless Space either) I've requested a refund which is a pity as CIV 6 is the game I have the most gametime on on...

    ****** Official World of Warships Thread ******

    Once a good game spoiled by bad game decisions (CV's , subs etc ) and Ruined by a shifty scummy dodgy legally dubious company that goes all out to prey on the vulnerable well over 10% of their CCs have now left - and pretty much all of their more Higher Profile CC (excluding one certain CC that...

    What is the most you have spent on a game?

    possibly EQ1 since I played for 7 years - so 7 x 12 x 12.99 month sub + all the xpac till Gates of Discord Also games like Civ 6 and especially the Paradox games (City : Skylines etc) - the DLC costs on those soon add up (mind you I probably have more than my moneys worth on those) I just...

    Is anyone else fed-up every new game being a crafter?

    Rather have crafting anyday compared to the other fads we've seen - PVP and battle Royale for example (both game modes that require minimal effort by game developers to create )

    *** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

    TBH - the Whole ED development process has always seemed non-focused to me. I was a Kickstarter backer and even back then they kept messing about with the game design (e.g. the having to be online all the time change and the killing off the promised offline mode) I've taken a break from ED...

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

    Can't run it but then again I run a PC and not a pretend MAC (plus I think I probably wouldn't run it as is anyway as it looks horrible ) (actually I use a Mobo with a legacy BIOS as I run some hardware that doesn't like UEFI bios so I'm definitely screwed there)

    New Dell IPS S2721DGF 165hz gaming monitor

    I'm using a 1080 with mine and not getting any flickering with GSync , I'll have to check if I have DFC switched on or off - (I suspect off as I vaguely recall reading somewhere - DFC and VRR (essentially GSync) definitely don't like each other )

    Mainly AKG K550 mk2 here - powered from arcam A28 headphone socket (the dac is a chord 2qute feeding the amp). Does the job for me for both music + gaming , when I need to use headphones , though to be honest I normally using either MA bronze 2 speakers for close head listening or Tannoy 8XT-Fs...

    Sound output 24/192khz from PC

    Use the USB output - Optical typically only supports up to 24/96 ( quality of toslink cable actually isn't too great so 24/96 tends to be the default) - Coax tends to support up to 24/192 - USB on windows 10 supports up to 32/384 with USB Audio Class 2.0 -That should work (I use it myself...

    Lego Worlds -depending on the age of the kids - my nieces co-op it whether they are visiting (ages 8 and 11) There's also plenty of Board game conversions than everyone can play (Talisman , Ticket to ride etc) plus there's a lot of free to play MMO's (LoTRO comes to mind) that the family can...
