They don’t advertise it, just message support from your .edu email and tell them your username. They’ll apply it and let you use the STUDENT promo code. It’s 50% off the year plan so $5 a month.
If you think its cool then follow suite youll find yourself better off. When I was younger I’d bought trash games as friends where playing online, I don’t do hype any more, if anything when I see a large marketing push I question the monitory input that’s been diverted from the development
I guess so, as it's fine to leave a game in the gog/steam library for a long time, but several games taking up tens or hundreds of GB on disk is a hassle.
On the other hand, I also notice that I have much less commitment, I discard them easily and often without giving them a real chance.
It’s pretty decent if you liked Bethesda’s other AAA games. I was actually surprised that there was even some amount of spaceship piloting at all - I just assumed it would be 100% fast travel.
However, the game runs like dogshit - even on my decently mid-range system, it takes 15-30 seconds of loading between menus, and I swear I spent half the time I played waiting for the game to load. I assume that this is meant to take advantage of the Xbox and PS5’s faster memory and DirectStorage, but on PC it’s borderline unplayable
not the guy, but I have mine on a Sata SSD and I don’t think my loading times are the same as his, so I’d expect either slow CPU or on a Hard Drive (going against the minimum requirements that the game should be played on a SSD)
That seems pretty crazy, I wonder what the variance is. I have a 5800x3D on a B550 with an M.2 NVMe and the longest loading screen in game I’ve had is hardly 3 seconds. The actual longest loading screen is just the startup with the Starfield menu at maybe 5 to 8.
Yeah my experience is the same, I rarely mind all the loading screens since most places load almost instantly. And if you grab jump and stuff from the cockpit it does cut scenes for the loading screen kinda like mass effect.
I am most concerned about the logistics of mouse and key slouched over a table sitting on the couch. Maybe some sort of desk setup in front of the TV? 1080p monitors are very cheap second hand. Sometimes thrift stores have them even.
I appreciate that you’re doing this on a budget. The only thing I can say is that a monitor doesn’t represent a significant portion of the build budget. A basic monitor can be had for under $100. Honestly a lot of tech-oriented people have extras laying around. I’ve had 3 extra 1080p monitors in my garage for the last few years. It’s entirely possible that someone may be giving one away near you.
I recently finished Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. it’s a fun game, but I’d say it was a bit expensive for the overall length and simplicity of it. Still, I really enjoyed it.
I also downloaded the free version of Shadow Warrior on GoG. I am not playing it blind since I watched Civvie-11’s video on it already, but it’s way harder than I expected. It’s my first time playing a build engine game, but the weapons and combat feel very intense and satisfying to use despite the technical limitations of games back then. I think I will keep on playing on “who wants some wang” for now, but it’s taking some perseverance. Lo Wang is hilarious though, and it’s making the game way funnier than I expected. If I keep on enjoying it this much, I may give other old shooters a try as well.
Usually you do not have a static IP anyway. Sure you could probably backtrace the DHCP of your ISP to the date yout that IP got issued…But that is IMO a bit overly paranoid.
Though to be fair’ I don’t know why they don’t like VPNs for signups. Most likely to enforce IP based bans for not following rules or for entire banned countries.
If you don’t really care about the rules, just do it on signup but don’t connect US -> DE but instead US -> US. That way they may not care enough to enforce rules.
One tracker even mentioned that the rules are there. Some are strictly followed (like naming rules), while others are not followed as strictly.
