Perhaps they’ll make a sequel, A Slightly Longer Hike.

Subs of which they can often take 50% commission on.

Any of the main games by Quantic Dream are of similar artful quality I’d say. Really a playable story with choices impacting the plot and twists and discovery that keeps you hooked. I liked Beyond: Two Souls the best, but Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human aren’t far behind.

Life is Strange is great in that same vein too.

I’d recommended PC part picker to determine compatibility with all your upgrades. You can tinker with different setups fairly easily and have the costs easily accessible. I believe there are also tools to determine likely bottlenecks, but I haven’t searched for many lately.

GPU will definitely be the biggest cost, but also likely the most noticeable improvement. RAM is fairly cheap, so you can bump up to 32 Gb without much expense. Not too familiar with Intel CPUs but it’s possible you might create a bottleneck with a GPU upgrade. Not the end of the world if you’re fine with upgrading that later too.

I’d gladly pay for a reasonably priced service (probably no more than $20/mo, but even that is on the steep side) where I could watch whatever game I’d like with no blackouts. Unfortunately, that doesn’t exist, so, here we arr.

I can’t help much on that front. If I’d like to watch on the TV, I do the same and just cast from a laptop or PC. There’s IPTV, but it’s a whole other rabbit hole that I’m not familiar with.

It is a great example of how an industry can survive with only self-reported effectiveness. I remember a freakonomics episode where it was shown that very infrequently do companies get a positive return on marketing spending. It will be very interesting if that industry ever collapses.

Oh definitely. Its essentially a massive case of ‘it’s difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends on not understanding it.’

It’s a very noticeable improvement in realism in games that do this. Quantic Dream games have also done this, even in Heavy Rain from 2010, and it really goes a long way in making a game into a story.

If quitting the game is more complicated than alt+F4, I often just alt+F4 after saving.

I would be very interested in those Tarkov modes/mods you have, OP. I got into it a bit but would just get mangled by well geared groups of players too often that it made it quite frustrating.

E: disregard, I found your other comment with the details.

As for memorable games, I played all the Quantic Dream games recently after seeing someone play Detroit: Become Human on stream. The story(s) in each one are amazing and unique in their own ways. They make you feel emotion and you’re immersed in the character’s experience. Their facial mocap really takes the games to the next level. The emotions just feel so real, which I find many games fail to do with only janky animated expressions.
