dark sector while fun is not really geared towards modern displays.

any resolution above 1920x1080 will cause gfx to go bonkers with smearing (some have had success with editing the config file "not me") works if running it in above resolution but if you happen to have an ultrawide screen you will have to accept letterboxing (black bars on the side).

controls are also a little wonky as it is a very very old console port so a bit like the first ports of resident evil 😄.

No issues with the display (1920 x 1080 is my max resolution in the Laptop), but certainly, even customizing the controls, it's somewhat strange to handle, but playable. But is needed to put the aiming sensibility at the minimum, because , if not, aiming is very "nervious" and not very precise.

But yes, it's clear that it was originally a PS game, optimized for gamepad, apart only autosaving on checkpoints, worst, no difficult settings, hardcore by default. I'm currently playing it, dying 6 times in the prologue.

Can't believe nobody mentioned yet that PREY is free on Epic right now. This game is absolutely incredible! Loved every bit of it! You can also grab Jotun on Epic, which is short and nice, but ob

got both an ultrawide and a 4k display, funnily the 4k display is the one it has less problems with since it is standard 16:9 so it looks ok even in 1920x1080.

my ultrawide is an older asus 3440x1440 100hz so a mix between a 2k and a 4k screen and many older games have trouble with it sadly (letterboxing smearing etc), looks stunningly good when the game does support it though.

bad luck :) though be carefull with the models from samsung with external psu's they have a nasty tendency to either blow up or just go dead (bad caps) shortly after the warranty period has passed.

had two samsungs and the psu died that way on both, well i still have the other one but i bought an aftermarket psu for it and it still works (going on 5 years now).

Free games are always nice, but the gameplay is way below TDM standards. Too linear for my taste. At least for the couple of minutes, I played two of them...

Agree, these games are nice for an half hour break without complication, even better playable as the before mencioned Dark Sector, which handling is a mess with keyboard and mouse, graphics not so much better than these from this browsergames it's only longer and more complex.

But also free games can have a good standart, as some from the DigiPen Institute which are on TDM level.

I was always put off by the visuals of vampires survivors. Eventually, I tried it on my cell phone and it was a lot of fun. I think the phone is also a very suitable platform for this game, because the controls are extremely simple and you don't mind the bad visuals as much as on PC or console.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

Sifu is free on Epic right now, but the offer ends in 50 minutes, so be quick. It is an awesome game. It adapts the combat system of Sekiro and extends it in interesting ways.

Looks like the last daily one is going to be Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a game I bought on GOG (Royal Edition?) but have not played.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
