Enshrouded gets wet! This is a pretty big change to the whole game world. I've been playing a lot lately. I love the desert biome.

Borderlands 4 "min. requirements" include Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16gb ram and  RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, with 100GB SSD space.
Recommended = 3080 gpu.   And ofc probably that's for 1080/60fps. And UE5 engine. And Denuvo this time.

 

Then again, recently taken a look at pricing in the "good old times" over the longer term, e.g. loss of value over time. If you'd bought a 8800 GTX Ultra at the peak of the price and tech advancement wars, but a couple months later you could have purchased it new for like half of whatever you bought it for, no kidding. You can take a guess what that means when you decided to sell again and to upgrade... The same goes for any card during those years. My 3060? Is still sitting less than -30% off its MSRP in shops despite being released in early 2021. 3080s still sell for decent money on used markets as well. And the real pros more recent sold their years used 4090s with a net profit, despite no Covid nor Crypto craze in sight. Thus, a historical first in the history of PC hardware: people coming out richer some time after buying enthusiast hardware than before doing it.  

Plus, there's an entire generation now that doesn't even know how actually demanding real PC show cases used to be. Even trying to run those things on hardware released two, let alone six years earlier would have seen you laughed out of the room. Ok, this is Borderlands and no Crysis. But still.  
 

 

Where was I? AH:

 Ugh, that new Outer Worlds 2 companion trailer is pretty meh. Even visually, those supposedly special "companions" look like something that may appear on-screen by pushing "random" in a Bethesda-style character editor. Yeah, I get it, it's all part of the joke. But if it's all a joke, why bother? Then again, what counts is the RPG inside of the RPG. The Outer Worlds 1 certainly left some room for improvement...
