Harold Halibut (Multi, XP'd on PC) Experience life on FEDORA, a spaceship crashed and floating in an endless ocean, from the POV of Harold, FEDORA's Everyman janitor.

Do you like Point & Click/Adventure games? Play this. It's that simple. Brilliant animation/art style. Good narratives. Great voice acting. Excellent music, including a couple licensed surprises. I very much enjoyed this game. Absolutely worth the price of admission. #CoSoGaming #Gaming #PC #Steam

Observation (Multi, XPd on PS5) You are SAM, an AI tasked with the operation of a space station. Or are you?
What's happened? Where is the rest of the crew? Why can't she, or you, remember? Strange symbols float in your lenses. What do they want? Uncover the mysteries surrounding the Observation, and yourself, in this Sci-Fi thriller as you assist Emma Fisher via your various functions on the station. Very enjoyable 👍 👍 #SeriesX #GamePass #Gaming #VideoGames #CoSoGaming

Gris (Multi, XPd on Series X)
Gris is hard to explain. You play as a girl that's lost her voice, and her world is crumbling around her because of that. It's a stylish puzzle platformer that hits the feels button hard. You aren't quite sure what's wrong, but something is and everything is dark and sad to start with. You are attempting to fix it and bring the color back to this strange world. Def recommend. #Gris #SeriesX #GamePass #Gaming #VideoGames #CoSoGaming

Well shit, sounds like my kinda party.

Seriously tho, fuck these completely unserious people with iron pineapples. This shit is why I cut the cord a decade ago. Don't sub to any online equivalents either. The hell I'm giving Fox any money.

(My mom is a retired librarian. Pretty sure I would have noticed if she was packing BDSM gear and a coke spoon to go to work.)

https://returntogracegame.com/ Return To Grace (MultiP, p/on #SeriesX)
At 2-3 hrs, RTG is a short walking sim set on Ganymede in 3820. As Adie, explore the Spire complex and find out what happened to an AI named Grace, and whether you can "revive" her.
This is a good mostly on rails experience(couple places the path "branches"). Good writing, voice acting, music. Walk speed is a bit slow. I noticed a few graphical glitches, but nothing game breaking. 👍 👍 #Gaming #CoSoGaming #VideoGames #GameReview

Sooo, I did a thing. Upgraded my PC to AM5 with a 7600X. Here's a link to my Tumblr post about it. Hopefully somebody finds it informative and/or amusing? There's some links to benchmarks I've run at the bottom, too. https://www.tumblr.com/blackknight95857669/743882388455718912/finished-pc-build

Spent about 4 hours with WoW yesterday, mostly in Valdrakken. It was playable again.. This i5-6400/RX6800 is so much better than the previous i5-920/1050TI. Could manage 30fps+ at the "7" graphics preset (High, I guess?) Getting set up for the AMD 7600X upgrade. Gonna assemble most of the main board, then pop out the old one so I can swap over the DeepCool heat sink. Drop in the new kit and see if it boots. Then, testing. Then, games. #CoSoGaming #PC #DIY #Upgrade #AMD #Gaming #VideoGames

Man BG3 is good. Playing co-op w/friend that gave me the CPU I'm about to upgrade (she started me down that path lol) Last night we did some of the Goblin Camp (we play 2-3hrs at a time every few days so, not far yet). Freed Volo and took out a good chunk of Goblins inside the keep. Went back to camp and friend said "Hey, talk to Volo, I wanna see what you do."
Those of you that know, yeah I let him finish, and laughed maniacally as I watched him book it outta camp. #CoSoGaming #Gaming #PC #BG3

Newegg tracking email showed today. The final.. oh why bullshit myself, the Next upgrade for this PC is due the 28th. That would be:

Ryzen 5 7600X
MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI
32GB G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5 RAM
Team Group/Team Force 2TB M.2

And, the CPU is currently being sold with a free Team Group/Force 1TB SATA SSD. Bonus.

That, paired with this PowerColor RX 6800, should make this a fairly ok beast, I've just realized...

I've made a huge mistake.

Currently in the middle of a total rework of my WoW UI. Discovered almost 20% of my mods weren't being updated by the CurseForge App. Fixed that. Tossed/replaced mods older than DragonFlight xpac. Logged a blank alt/full UI alt. Blank (just a broker display/FPS counter mod) is getting 10+fps more than full UI. This is pretty good, as it used to be almost 30fps difference, heh. Don't pay to get lazy with updating your UI, lol. Still WIP to get that FPS diff closer. #PC #Gaming #WoW #CoSoGaming

Slowly dipping my toes into BG3, been a while since I played a game this dense. Just level 3, about to get to Karlach.Also picking up speed in American Truck Sim(huehue). Doing Quick Jobs, building up cash to buy my own truck, cause fuck the "loans" the "Bank" offers. I'm real impressed with the DeepCool Gammaxx GT CPU cooler I bought. BG3 keeps this i5-6400 pegged at 90-99% use and it never breaks 50°c. Glad it's AM5 compatible, gonna upgrade with a 7600X soon. #PC #CoSoGaming #Gaming

I've gotten everything reinstalled/setup and the one thing I can't get to run is Fallen Earth (old obscure MMO recently revived). Process that previously worked fails. AMD card is sus, as it's the only change. I'm not finding anything to confirm it tho. But, all things considered, this PC is delivering a consistently good Linux AMD gaming experience. Something I wouldn't have thought possible a decade ago. I can almost get into this PC gaming thing. Almost. #PC #Linux #Gaming #CoSoGaming

I have now played both BG3 and American Truck Sim (I like a good sim for podcasts, what's better than cross country truckin?) for about a half hour of gameplay (BG3 character creation ate an hour lol). Thankfully, Mangohud worked for both of them. So I can say that with this setup (i5-6400, RX 6800 16gb, 32gb ram at 3066mhz, PNY SATA 500gb SSD) BG3 ran at 60fps at Ultra in 2K, AT Sim at 120fps at Ultra in 2K. Better than I expected. CPU is sweating a bit tho lol. #PC #Linux #Gaming #CoSoGaming
