    Path of Exile 2

    It's far tankier and can do all content easily for just a couple of div as entry with one button game play. You'll be spending far more to get to the same level of power on deadeye. At unlimited budget deadeye will edge out on MS, but that is it as damage numbers don't matter by that point as...

    Path of Exile 2

    I made the swap at 78 from ED/C. Just adding the xbow and like 3/4 of my passive tree changing. Then at 84 I swapped gear completely and was able to fix my passive tree from the gaps it was filling. I bought everything for super cheap 1-5ex, then desecrated which got me really solid es +...

    Path of Exile 2

    Ok more praise for the lich xbow build. Cleared T4 everything and basically got a wash trade to go from L18 -> L19 requiem pushing over 1.2M tooltip dps. For ~3.5 div invested this is the best build I've played so far based on budget, clear and survivability by a long shot and nothing comes...

    Path of Exile 2

    I was bored this week and decided to give this a try before it's nerfed for being fun. Thanks for posting or I wouldn't have touched the game again this update. Spent about 2 divs total on this char and can clear T15s so far np. Only have 7 div so his final build is far far away =D.

    Path of Exile 2

    Yeah bow is basically the best way to do anything atm for safety. I ran hollowed palm for early/mid, but it just gets outpaced hard by a moderately good rolled qstaff. I'm sure with some sort of ev/es stacker it is probably solid, but again still out classed by qstaff so why even bother.

    Path of Exile 2

    Got around to finishing the new stuff. Neat monster types and boss fights. Zones are still comically large even with checkpoints and sprint. I bet the fresh season campaign is going to be 100+ hours for the average gamer by the time GGG finishes the other acts. Leveling experience felt harder...

    Path of Exile 2

    Should be soon it's usually ~2 hours or so before launch. Just make sure to relaunch steam. Edit: Steam is live now.

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Surprisingly I use mine all the time. It has become the primary living room TV gaming system at home and is with me almost always when I'm traveling. It works well since all the local couch coop games are basically pixel or similar graphics and third party games and software like...

    I dont remember which of you linked these back in March when they were preorder, but they finally arrived. Work great on PC. Got everything running on SteamDeck, but it took a little effort. Got all the GH/RB games and like 5k other songs. https://crkd.gg/products/lp-bluebuerry-burst-multi-platform

    It's just garbage bros. Literally bag it, drop it at one of those parking lot trailer donation places and enjoy freedom. You will never miss things you don't use daily and it's a good habit to toss shit you don't touch after 6 months (unless it's seasonal like a snowblower). I went in many...

    Grounded 2 (Obsidian entertainment)

    I think most survival games are boring slop, but completed the original Grounded and enjoyed it the entire time. I would skip the second until it's actually released though since this is just early access.

    Hell Clock (Rogue-lite ARPG)

    Yeah it's not well optimized. I thought it was just the steam deck, but I played today on main PC @4k res and I go from 240 monitor cap to ping ponging around ~100ish with some builds and mob density and the load times while shorter were still pretty noticeable. The visual clarity goes out the...

    Hell Clock (Rogue-lite ARPG)

    Almost finished Act 2. There is a decent amount of depth for build variety and game is still unlocking skill tree and abilities.

    Hell Clock (Rogue-lite ARPG)

    Pretty solid loop. Took me about 3 hours to clear act 1 and then called it a night. Act 2 skills seem neat, excited to try them out. Runs OK on Steamdeck. Long load times and some major fps drops with a couple of builds I had going.
