Is there a way to do that on my current hardware? That was not really my question, though. ---

Well, I just started No Man´s Sky. It´s not bad I guess. ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > Well, I just started No Man´s Sky. It´s not bad I guess. Not initially, though it does tend to get repetitive sooner or later. I bought it about a year after release (also on discount) and it was fun enough for the first 20-30 hours. I had some problems with the atmospheric flight mechanics (planets appeared to rotate faster than the ship was able to move, which seemed weird) and I never was able to shoot anything down during space combat, but overall it was well worth my 25€. ---

I paid the current 18 € and for some gameplay that doesn´t stress me out too much in this heat it seems just about right. ---

I’ve started playing [Little Nightmares](https://store.steampowered.com/app/424840/Little_Nightmares/). ![littlenightmares-janitor-900_c1-0-899-524_s885x516](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/c/c12051ff61de797ba2c0e46410814acaf8218d56.jpg) It’s not bad, but after just playing Inside it doesn’t really match up. It’s a similar style, though. I don’t think it’s scaring me as much as it’s supposed to. Maybe I’m just desensitised. ---

I think I may have reached a point where “scaring me” might not be the correct expression anymore. More like “admiring the unusual”. This looks beautiful to me and I guess I´d enjoy it from that standpoint more than expecting to get scared or anything(unless that is supposed to be the appeal of the game, I don´t know). ---

Yeah, I know what you mean. It does a good job of that, though Inside does a much, much better one. I happily let myself die a few times in that game because it was so intriguing to watch. ---

I suppose a little in that it’s too hot, but I could play something out here on the balcony. (Where I’m currently watching the It series from 1990 on my laptop.) I just haven’t felt a particular desire to play anything over doing other things. 😉 I always play more games in the winter months anyway. But yeah, I couldn’t play anything that requires a proper GPU even if I wanted to. Sure, let’s pump more heat into the house… 😃 ---

Yeah, the heat is the main reason for me not playing much of anything at the moment,too. ---

I built myself a base inside a cave that I carved into a mountain. It´s a work in progress, but it´s a good shelter from radiocactive storms and agressive killer drones. 🙂 ---
