I guess I always have it my head I'm the object I'm controlling rather than the camera following, so my brain defaults to more direct control? I do tend to favour "in-cockpit" / first person view.

Standard unless there's and flying involved, either in atmosphere or space, then I invert Y. Can't imagine ever inverting X, that just blows my kind. Been playing since before WASD was a thing, so I've seen most implementations I guess.

It's pretty dead for the main part, at least for discussions, but there does appear to have been an uptick in posts the past month or so.

"Manure, I hate manure!"

Maybe clean-up after the Enchantment Under the Sea dance?

Working for me in Windows 10 using a GTX 1660Ti om an aging Intel i5-3570 so anything from the last 10 years should be fine. My HDR monitor is running over Display Port rather than HDMI I should mention however.

I had the same issue with NVMe, but you can get 4x PCI-E cards to install them on. Wouldn't work as a boot drive but it's great for a games installation space. Just check installing another card doesn't drop your GFX from the 16x. My old ASUS Gene V had two 16x style slots and an extra 4x so I could manage to add one card without dropping the GFX to 8x.

My XBOX has the internal 1TB then 4TB of USB3 storage for 360/XBOX One games (or Series games I'm not currently playing). Main PC is 500GB SSD Raid 0 System drive, 1TB NVMe data drive and a 6TB HDD Storage Space. Then my NAS has 20TB (RAID 5) of space for everything else. (Including a full set of install files of any games I bought via GoG since you can keep their DRM free install files just in case GoG suddenly disappear)

Podcast wise: Rebel FM, though after all these years it's more just to catch up with them than the actual talking points, but always enjoyable.

For deep dives into specific games Cane & Rinse (full disclosure I have met and consider friends some of the guys involved).

For Indie Games, The Sausage Factory by Chris O'Regan, which these days is hosted by Cane And Rinse is a great way to hear directly from the game devs themselves.

You may feel a little prick.

You'd do it for Hedy Lamarr!

From 2011, I thnk this was on the original Samsung Galaxy (Can't find it only to confirm), the one with the "sticky out chin". This was my first true smartphone after having used a Blackberry Bold I think, before which I had a Blackberry Pearl, and before that Dell Axim alongside maybe a Nokia 6820? How far we've come!

Edit: I think this might actually have been from my HTC Hero... probably shortly before I move on to an HTC Desire or maybe even the Desire itself.

Edit 2: It must have been the Desire, resolution of 480x800 on the screenshot.

So a surprise attack is redundant?
