Nah, it's both now. I call the new category Swumbles Empoisoned Jumble

Star Wars. God help you if you actually like The Acolyte or the sequels, they'll flay you alive while they harass everyone involved in the making of.

Seems they're starting to, given Dragon Age won't be using the EA App

 

Unfortunately the BBC has decided Australia doesn't get to watch any Doctor Who that was released before 2005 or is a spin-off. So uh, anyone got a plex share or torrent with the lot? Immediate preference is getting the same versions as what is available on iPlayer in the UK, but would settle for DVD rips if that's what's available.

How's the heat on it? Using a PC (desktop) with slightly higher specs than yours, but no problems on High settings. Heavy framedrops like that could mean your CPU is getting throttled due to overheating (based on my old laptop which was a 960M and i5-6700HQ)

Similarly, what settings are you running at? I'm sitting on a 2060 Super (slightly above 2070 in power), and can't get it above high if I want more than 30fps.

So yeah, two biggest things are temps and settings.

Hard agree honestly - as an Aussie, American exceptionalism tires me. For what it's worth, there is The Expanse, that compares colonisation of other worlds more to British colonisation (and Roman, for that matter) if that interests you

Starfield, like a lot of sci-fi, compares the early days of space travel to the old west. With that said, at close to 30 hours in my first character, there hasn't been a single time I've engaged with the cowboy stuff. It's largely attached to one of the two biggest factions, which is a group I haven't engaged with at any point so far, with one exception being an encounter with one member of that faction as part of a brief, radiant quest.

So yeah, you can completely avoid it! Happy gaming!
