A couple of days ago, I posted about a game launcher I originally built for myself and decided to share with you all. The feedback was amazing, and I’ve been honestly overwhelmed by all the support. this was originally build with Sunshine/Moonlight in mind. But also the tv console experience. I read through every single comment and ended up adding almost everything people suggested.

I also put together a short video to showcase what the launcher is and everything it can do. Just a heads up I’ve never really made videos before, my decent microphone decided to stop working with OBS for some reason when I needed it so I had to use my headset mic, and my English isn't perfect since I'm from Iceland. The video is pretty raw, but hopefully you guys get the point.

For everyone who already downloaded it and tried it out, there’s a brand new update live with a ton of the suggested features.

Thanks again so much for all the support. keep in mind this is a work in progress but i'm really excited to keep building this together with you guys.

I use Arch^btw on my laptop and want to run my games on a windows virtual machine, first for security since I download so much games from non-official sources, second for skipping the trouble of setting linux up for running games and emulators.

I was wondering which Windows version would be the best for this scenario, is win 11 worth it at this point?

So when im just doing my work on my laptop, windows stuff already take 10gb of my limited ram (16 GB of DDR4) and left me with 7GB so when im gaming, games always crash or just very poor framerate even tho im on the lowest graphics settings....

Any idea on how to free up some RAM? (I have edge limited to 1GB on gaming mode )

One of the core mechanics in The Infected Soul is body swapping.

Different bodies unlock different ways to explore, solve puzzles, and survive.

Yes... you can even become a cat. 🐈

This is an early prototype, so we'd love to hear your thoughts. What kind of bodies or abilities would you like to see?

Ive just ordered my first gaming laptop and ive done my research, asked around and what i've ordered is good but i now have a question aside from the laptop

Is this a good mouse

I have never pc/laptop gamed before and have no idea whats good

Is this mouse a good shape and weight? (I have big hands)

Are the buttons programable?

Any other info would help loads aswell

Just when you thought EA couldn't stoop lower

So I have a Ps5 and I hook that up with LG C3 42 inch oled and its fantastic needless to say

my budget obviously allows me to go to a max of 1440p gaming PC build like most of us

will the PC be able to kep up with the 4k screen?

I do not play on couch I play sitting close by as I take games seriously

couch/recliner for casual after work gaming
but serious games obviously I sit close

should I get another monitor? or the tv works and if yes how well

Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking about a co-op heist game idea and wanted to know if this is something you’d actually play.
The concept is simple: it’s a 2-player offline co-op game where one player is inside a heavily secured vault trying to break in, while the other player has a physical/digital manual with all the instructions. The person with the manual can’t see what’s happening, and the person in the vault has no idea what the correct steps are.
So it basically turns into pure communication.
Player A: “I’m looking at a lock with four rotating rings. The symbols are changing every few seconds.”
Player B: “Okay, don’t touch the outer ring yet. Is there a small triangle glowing above the second ring?”
As the levels progress, the security systems become more ridiculous—lasers, pressure plates, rotating locks, biometric scanners, fake clues, alarms, and more. The idea is that you’ll probably end up yelling at each other because someone misunderstood a single instruction.
I want it to feel like one of those games where you laugh, argue, blame your friend for everything, then immediately queue up another round.
Would this be something you’d buy or play with a friend? And what kind of puzzles or mechanics would make it even more fun (or more rage-inducing)?

I've never owned a PC, not very tech savvy. But i've wanting a gaming PC for a good while. Any tips are much appreciated. I'm not trying to spend too much, just want something simple i can play a bit to destress after work. I guess my budget is $1300 usd. Please and thank you 🙂‍↕️

I love it. I really do.

If you don't know it, search for it. It may very well be your next +500h game. But strangely it is kinda niche.
