    I had to play with the compatibility settings to get Heroes of Might and Magic 5 to run.

    If it's on GoG. It might run better. Because they often have older games running on modern hardware

    That’s where I got it.

    Now riddle me this.

    I’m noticing with some games that tweaks to settings like this that get it to run, sometimes when you try to run it again without changing anything it will crash.

    Ok, for those who use emulators, Retroarch is probably the worst creation imaginable. It crashes more than Amazon trucks.

    I have a ps5 with a 32 inch 4k smart monitor, play the finals every night lol, also I use t-mobile home internet on 5g network for 55$ a month i take it with me everywhere i go, almost no lag and if it did happen it would after like a bunch of games for a few seconds but very very rare. I have a very powerful desktop at home i really want to take it with me but I have no idea how that would work, how to keep it steady from all the road bumps and stuff, it gets really bumpy alot of times.

    I've been pretty burned out of MMOs for the last decade or so. But I'm liking what I have seen from RIOT's new MMO they have been working on. The world is called Runterra, from the lore they've created and enhanced over the last 15 years or so.

    RIOT makes free to play games and they've done well staying clear of that pay-to-win crap. They have a lot of unique, original content and ideas. Elves, paladins, archers... they don't do any of that.

    The game is speculated by RIOT to be released 2026, October.

    I don't really get into cartoony, silly games very often. I prefer more realism with human characters... like Cyberpunk, Kingdom Come Deliverance, The Witcher, etc. But for whatever reason, I got on board... and I really like it. It's crazy fun.

    Here's a good video that shows the world (it's already finished) and explains a lot of the lore.

    I play on my gaming computer with 3x 27" gaming monitors...For the purpose of three monitors is one for the main monitor for the game the other two monitor is due monitor my GOXLR audio interface settings for my Shure SM7B microphone. The other monitor that I use is for when I want to record something that I am doing in a game or make voice recordings while gaming.

    If you're not streaming you don't need nearly that much but even still you can do it all with one monitor and a stream deck.

    Red Dead Redemption 2. It's the best game I've ever played. Although, admittedly, I'm not really into gaming.
    My 71 yr old friend told me about it, and now I'm hooked.

    Apparently, gaming isn't just for young people anymore. Kind of like facebook. lol
