As someone who just spent about 4 hours last night converting all my screenshots to save space, I really recommend you curb this stuff early.

Delete the 1080p screens, and use FastStone to convert all of the 4K screens to 98% JPEGs. The quality is very nearly identical, but the file size is about half. If literal pixel perfect quality isn't necessary for you, you can go to about 95% quality and make the file sizes even better.

Nah i will only take 4K screens when i am able to push resolution that high (that means older DX9 games).

And i usually upload them few times per week on Flickr so i think that my HDDs will be fine :D

The groupees trading coins are now live... and can be used to buy bundles (but not preorders), it seems.
Nice. But I only got one coin when I should have recieved two from the two bundles I bought. Sent them a message about it. Hopefully just an error.
Groupees coins are sneaky. Went to buy a $2 bundle with my $3 groupees coins; because it was a "$3 coin", I don't get change, so it cost me the whole coin to get the $2 bundle. And of course, Groupees almost never does $3 bundles, they do $1-2 bundles, and then they do $4+ bundles. So you're either going to lose some value on the coin, or you're going to have to pay them the balance. Sneaky sneaky.
That's too bad. They should definitely give you a $1 coin back in that case. Something to have in mind when buying things with the coins.

How do they work? I have 0 coins, do you get them from buying bundles? Do they not retroactively award them?

I guess it wouldn't be a very interesting game, but it would be nice to have the option to just keep doing what you're doing, working for your masters, and maybe finding and reporting possible rebels.

Also, I'm pretty sure they mean "dystopian." Because a Utopian society would be perfect, and why would you want to disrupt everyone's perfect lives?

I noticed that too, but figured maybe the player character is just a troll.

Good to know. I have the same coin as well, and I haven't seen a $3 bundle in a long time.

94% of reported monitors are 1080p and lower.

It will be interesting to compare this sample with data from 2016.

I don't think it will change much.
GPU are not improving at a pace to outdo game requirements.
Most of PC gamers are not even able to hit 1080p60 in many of new releases, why would they go with 1440p or 4k monitor?
I know this forum is skewed with higher representation of top tier of GPUs, but honestly, anything above 760 or equivalent in a PC is a luxury most of the world can't afford.

I am terribly sorry to let you all down people but unforeseen technical difficulties likely mean I won't be able to join you all today. My DVD drive just suddenly died and after updating my graphics drivers from Geforce experience I only get video signal over my DSub from motherboard. I can't boot into Windows at all. Getting stuck at load screen.
As you can understand I have my hands full for the rest of the day :/

Have fun y'all! Wish I could join.

Huh.

It's weird. Every time I start up a new run of Dark Souls I burn out on it about halfway through and have no incentive to continue.

I remember absolutely loving my first playthrough of the game but every run after wasn't nearly as fun for me (tbh I only did one complete run). I think I enjoyed the constant discovery of new things (both gameplay-wise and lore-wise) and there just isn't anything left for me to find that I don't already know about. I basically have a complete mental map of the entire game and there's no surprises left.

It kinda sucks because I love the game but don't find enjoyment in it anymore.

Now time to wait for DS2 SOTFS to have a sub $20 sale -_-

Bombernauts currently in Early Access up for purchase. Limited time price $8.99 or 4-pack for $17.99. And if you're buying the single game, it gifts you a free copy for a friend. Very tempted.
