the new amd laptop CPU's that just started releasing are sensational performance, straight up beats some of the highest end consumer intel DESKTOP cpu's, in all multi threaded work. and they are fairly cheap.

btw WTF is with those fake-out ads for mobile games which depict some BS which has nothing to do with the actual game? They typically involve some weird situational puzzle where a supposed player is pulling large pins out of a structure and theres falling lava etc. So fucked up
Are you saying that Gardenscapes has not become incredibly complex since it first came out?

Yeah I saw that when this guy (I think he's good, but you experts can tell me I'm totally wrong) mentioned that this laptop was surprisingly worth it for the price point as a thin laptop. Not that it's intended for gaming in any way (I mean he was playing average looking games at the lowest settings for good fps), but still he seemed to be really hooting about the new AMD chips.

It's almost as if a genre that takes advantage of "whales" isn't run by ethical companies.

I mean if only it was in to begin with, I would maybe have the same attitude as you. But paying for a product, then for them to patch in kernel-level drivers is... Not cool. Sure you can just crack it then, but why should they need to, and why should they give up playing the game online for that?

This isnt really about the DRM, more about the 0 level kernel access they impose on you. I dunno maybe watch the vid, it's not really a 'stink'.

The home scapes and gardenscapes ones are so weird too, like they had that one sexual one where like the dude is tied up to a bed.

I also like the mobile ads where it looks like A candid video of like a dude holding his kid talking about how you can win real money playing solitaire or whatever.

That and the ones where he's breaking out of jail literally confused me into looking up the game to see that it was still the same a few months back. I thought it had gone some crazy direction where he's taking revenge on people wrecking his gardens and gets thrown in jail then escapes to setup more deathtraps for his neighbors.

which I may or may not play if it was an actual game

Mafia 2 and 3? Yeah ok I guess. *PATOOEY*

This is the true God. The best game to ever come from the Czech Republic.

Mafia 1 babyyyyyyyy!!!!! Wooooo!

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-05-19-2k-formally-unveils-mafia-1-remake-details-mafia-trilogy-bundle

And luckily I'll be able to enjoy it in the Czech audio. Such a huge difference when hearing the English version. Just don't feel right. Loses all its charm.
Hell if you could have Czech audio and English subs that's that I would recommend to you.

I kinda liked finding out why the police in the richer parts of town where suspicious of you even if you didn't do shit. It's cause your character is black.

Better exploration of the concept than David Cage putting his fucking androids in a concentration camp at the end.

The game itself felt more like a sequel to that EA Godfather 2 game than a Mafia game.

The story concept was good, but the game, even beyond the repetitive gameplay, was fundamentally wrong.
Mafia was good because of the grounded tone and restricted gameplay style, turning it into another GTA close was idiocy.
In Mafia 1 you had the get gas, couldn't go over the speed limit, and so on.
RDR2 felt more "Mafia", in that sense, than Mafia 3.

And even the activities, Mafia was a linear game set in a large, unified map, it was never supposed to have side shit and "stuff to do", in 3 they straight up put that side shit as the stuff you MUST do.  :lol

Mafia 2 got that a bit more, but its story was so uninspired and botched (in the second half) that it didn't really matter.

This is spot on and I've always been bewildered at the love Mafia 2 gets. I think it was babby's first Italian organized crime drama exposure. Mafia 1 was very much a realistic and different game design wise than GTA III or Vice City.

Mafia 2 has so many things botched in it's story that it's a very funny and interesting game, rather than something of great quality.

Reminds me of the guy who runs the dockside warehouse where Vito's father worked. Same voice actor as Vito's BFF Joe and you can really hear it. It's not often you hear actors with less range than David Hayter.

I liked Mafia 2 mostly because of the atmosphere and presentation. Game looked great and the detail was nice. But yeah the story was kind of amateur hour. Just a really shitty version of Godfellas.

Mafia 3 had excellent gunplay. Man does it feel good. But the mission structure was just so lazy and felt like filler.

I almost went with the 9900k, but ended up with 3900x. I do play csgo at high refresh rates, so the max is somewhat important to me, but I havent come to regret the 3900x purchase at all. Really runs like a fucking dream.
