    Finally been actually playing some Star Wars: Outlaws having owned and started it months ago. Don't play many (any?) ubisoft open world type games so have been enjoying it.
    I also picked up Dome Keeper after the free weekend a couple of weeks ago, can see myself giving that a go every now and again for a while.

    Just about to start that soon on PS5, had it for months. Repeated bouts of flu have put pay to gaming for too long now, need to get back on to help keep my sanity.

    On my list on next pc games to pick up. I heard a rumour there may be an update soon (?) and that the universe is a bit sparse at the moment?

    How you finding it?

    I know you did ask me direct But i had thought on Starfield, Desptite allot of people having Mixed Thoughs i enjoyed my time with the game, The big Capital planets feel small but have a fair amount of things to do, Then most plantes are Barron *think the Moon from Mass Effect** where they get the Odd little Moon base ect, Most planets are just Desert style, not come accross many *earth esk Planets** but it felt a BIG game but with BIG empty spaces, from what i understand they Added a Car as a method of transport to get around planets now, i got distracted with all the side quests and side story missions becoming a bounty hunter ect so no clue bout the actual main story.. usual your special as you touched a thing, The designing of the Ship was Fun, The designing of the Bases felt like an After thought. DONT buy the DLC it wasnt worth it for £20.. maybe £5.. But its a ok game Worth a play through imo, I just went in thinking I can do my own Firefly story and thats how i designed my ship and went round doing odd jobs.

    Wasnt a Fan of the Compaions, but i just left them on the ship :confused:

    I tried it on Game Pass on the Xbox, and bounced straight off it. Dunno why, but I just couldn't get into it.

    I have not gotten too far in it yet, just 3 or 4 hours so far and I have been taking things pretty easy. So far, I am liking it, the questline that I am on now (Vanguard Terrormorph) is pretty good, nicely written, good couple of twists in it and some pretty cool locations.

    There are a LOT of mechanics that I need to get my head around, even with knowing Fallout 4 so well, but I shall definitely be sticking with it.

    Also interested in how you get on with Starfield as it's on my radar.

    Fallout 4, I've given up on. Just doesn't draw me in. And I have over 100 hours accumulated over two or three restarts...

    It’s really come a long way lately. Yeah sure, Fallout 3 isn’t exactly new, but you’re still talking about running a game written for x86 and Windows on ARM hardware.

    From what I understand, Valve’s partner Igalia have been putting a shitton of work into the FEX x86-to-ARM translation layer and the Mesa “Turnip” drivers. It might be in Valve’s interest to do so - it’ll help them shift Steam Frame when (or if) it eventually launches - but the great thing about open source projects is that everyone benefits from that effort.

    What's Game Hub?

    I know I could Google it, but generally the explanations here are better.

    Started Star Wars Outlaws on PS5.

    Have to say thoroughly enjoying mooching about the SW universe as a crim.

    Much fun.

    Think it always helps that I get to games long after release so they've usually patched out most of not all of the bugs.

    Its like a 3rd party emulator for android(might be available else where) but its allowed me tonconnect my steam account ans play PC games on android using proton ect to run.

    It drains the battery fast but i got a power bank. Not sure how well other games will work but just thought try fallout 3 as a bench mark .

    Only word of caution is that there is concern around the fact that you have to log in to Steam and the developer is apparently based in China.

    However, I’m fairly sure it supports Steam Authenticator QR code logins, so you don’t have to enter any credentials at all

    Note: have not used it myself, just repeating the “concerned warnings” I’ve seen posted around Reddit, in case this sort of thing concerns you. Personally… if QR login is supported then I have no concerns at all, and bear in mind that many of these “concerns” often boil down to astroturfing or tinfoil-hat paranoia.

    Yeah, cheers for that - good to know. I went to look it up and saw it was made by "Shenzhen Chicken Feet Technology" or something similar and a few little coloured flags did get raised. There were a couple of one-stars that didn't think too highly of it but can't remember if these were more technical in nature (I'll have another look).

    I used the QR code and steam guard. The alternative is don't link it from Steam but useGOG on your pc and apparently you can just then drag the installer into this and do it that way avoiding accounts ect

    Honestly… my worry isn’t the Evil Chinese Government having some kind of access to my Steam account. Evil UK Government and Evil US Government can already get some kind of access to my Steam account basically any time they want, and I’d never know about it.

    I’m far more concerned about credentials being leaked/breached due to piss poor security, and losing my Steam account to some runny shitstain scammer.

    iRacing sub is expiring in a couple of weeks and I'm not going to renew. It's great, but any further progression now is likely going to cost a lot with a) a full price subscription and b) additional cars and tracks at around £15 a pop.

    So I decided to give Le Mans Ultimate a go. Bought the game and a lots of additonal content from CDKeys (Loaded) and so far I'm really enjoying it. Of course it's more limited in scope than iRacing but significantly cheaper and the multiplayer has been great so far.

    If you like GT3 and GT4, Assetto Corsa Competizione is great too

    I've got ACC on Xbox but the online races are a little sparse of players.
