doing so little XIII-2 progress that I might aswell set it aside because im not going to finish it before Atelier for sure (and I want to play Atelier day 1 if only to justify the day 1 purchase...which technically I havent done it yet lol).
One thing tho, I finished chapter 1 and did the time travel thing, there was A LOT of nodes in that time travel screen to choose (well not to choose because I could only choose the next one, but eventually I guess) so maybe the game isnt as short as I was lead to believe.
Then I foought a giant hand, this game is weird. I see they are going to put those quicktime events during normal battles, which im kinda ok with I think?
Still no monster taming tho, but I stopped shortly after fighting that giant hand.

Right, I forgot that one.
Disgaea 2: 6,473 ± 2,310
Which is decent, considering it was launched very late in January.
Please post it here, I am really curious about this game, it seems pretty damn ambitious.
Regardless of which games we'll end up with, the porting job will at the very least be decent given SEGA's track record.

There's a new bundle at Bundlestars. $1.49 for 8 middling to decent games.

Thanks. Ended up ordering a G502 after doing some reading. Pricier than I initially intended but everything I've seen points to it being a pretty solid choice. It's on that spreadsheet, too, so that's good to know!
I almost went with a Corsair M65 Pro because it was cheaper and I liked the looks more but that tacky "sniper button" on the side looked like it would get in the way and be annoying as hell.
Damn that looks cute :-O
... lets hope the gameplay is nice too

Those are some decent games. I didn't have Dark, The Last Door S2 or Consortium!

What do you want to overclock ?
Good thing i rarely play AAA games then
Anyway, thanks for the info!My other option is to not upgrade at all this month, and wait until i return from a work trip in several months, at which point these cards might drop in price enough to justify not buying them right now. Atelier in 4K though...
Speaking of which, i was actually able to fully fund this purchase with Berseria card money. Thanks, Bamco!

The biggest danger would be overheating, and so long as you're attentive to what you are doing, it shouldn't be a real issue. It can also cause additional stability and crashing issues that you may not even realize are happening, but it's not like Windows computers are all that stable anyway.
Oof, I was thinking it would be $10-$15 at most for lowest tier, wasn't expecting 15£. Glad to see it succeeding though.

To add on what was said hardware has a lifespan. If you are pushing voltage that will get shorter.
Will you replace the hardware long before it dies anyway? Very likely.

Didn't try overclocking my CPU yet, but overclocking the GPU is super easy. Just download MSI Afterburner, run it while playing some demanding game and play with the core clock, vram and voltage sliders until you can see artifacts ingame. If you encounter them you gotta turn that specific slider a bit down again. Doubt you can fry your card with Afterburner. Keep in mind that your final values in one game can still be unstable in some other game. Overclocking is fiddling a lot with values until everything works perfectly in every game. People say that overclocking can shorten the lifespan of the hardware, eh whatever, NVIDIA only allows voltage increase to a certain value, I say it's pretty safe to do... Every card manufacturer on earth wouldn't supply you with their Overclocking Software if it would be that dangerous.
Overheating. If you were to do it and consistently have an overheated state regularly, you will likely reduce the life span of the component in question.
As far as Overclocking goes, it's pretty damn safe if you keep an eye on temperatures to see that it is doing well. Looking at my own machine, which is already a small form factor machine and thus much more susceptible to higher temperatures, I have a decent heat sink on my i5 6600k and moved it from 3.9ghz to 4.4ghz and the temperatures are well within reason under-load and at idle.
Similarly the GTX 1060 has been overclocked, but I didn't experiment much at all; about 150mhz oc to core and 500mhz oc to memory. No problem at all with temperatures. Just used games and the odd benchmark to make sure when stressed consistently the temps are good and the same when idle

If you don't know what you're doing, it's probably not something you should be messing around with. OC'ing isn't really going to get you the crazy speed you think it will.
That being said, it's not as hard or complicated as it used to be 17+ years ago, most motherboards have built in auto settings, that are pretty safe. Go that route if you are die hard about it.
I highly suggest you don't OC your GPU though, you are going to run into more problems than its worth. Unless you are running a refferance card, most manufacturers already overclock their cards to safe levels and anything past that can cause issues.I'm not saying it will for sure, but it gives you a higher risk of things happening that most people will blame on something else like the OS and not their overclock.
Again, I don't think OCing in this day really is that big of a deal and just because you are running a higher clock speed doesn't mean your PC will just up in performance all that much. Again, if you are dead set on it, read up and just try the auto oc on your motherboard, it's good enough as a starting point and take your time. Good luck dude!

I've had my eye on sunless seas for a while but I'm not sure I could avoid getting a space version of that game.

Singleplayer game next. Kinda sad that it needs an AmA to get things done, but they took action and that counts. Good job!

Yeah, absurdly annoying. Two other things I have wanted for many years now:
- move the Steam pop-up "Toast" when the mouse cursor is in the same position while in game
- Add tag / review / developer / publisher / purchase date / features searching within the Library of the client.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
My "want list" is too long to even mention
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Thanks for the responses. My PC atm sits at 30c idle, and about 75 at most depending on the game.
Realistically, how big an improvement could I see from Overclocking? Or is it not worth doing? I think my CPU is at 4.4ghz already if CPU-Z is to be believed (I bought pre-built)

Is there any way to add F2P games that have been removed? I have some items in my inventory for F2P games that are no longer available and I'd like to try and bind them to my account. I'm guessing I'm SOL.

If you bought pre-built and are already at 4.4ghz, then you are already overclocked.
Never noped so fast on a game then when I went "oh this sword of asumi has a nice thumb" and clicked it

Um... that doesn't sound right. What 970 do you have? Like manufacture? You should be running something like 1497Mhz or something along those lines. The 4.4Ghz is your CPU clock speed
