The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait

I've claimed every game that Epic has offered for free, and have never given them a cent.  I just looked at the number of games in my Epic library, and was shocked how high it is.  195. They've given out 195 games.  I feel a little bad for not giving them any money.  Not that they need my money; they rake in billions from Fortnite.

I always buys my games from Steam.

I generally buy my games either on Steam or directly from the developer.

The only games I have bought on Epic's store are Far Cry 5 Gold, Far Cry New Dawn, and the Control season pass (I got Control for free with a graphics card), all of which I bought when they were on sale with one of Epic's $10 off coupons adding to the sale discount.

I had been running the same 23" 1920x1080 (FHD) setup for the past 8 years.

Having two programs side-by-side on the same monitor was never satisfying, as the programs were always cramped.

 

This week I upgraded to 27" 2560x1440 (QHD).

Look at all that space I have in CodeLab when running it on half the monitor.  Now I have no excuse for not writing more plugins. 🤪

(Yes, I know I took this photo way too close to my desk, which caused it to have a distorted perspective)

 

For comparison, that laptop is 15".

 

So why did I post this in the gaming thread?  Because these monitors have FreeSync. 😁

Control is free on the Epic Games Store until June 17th.

Just like when they offered GTA 5 for free the demand is causing issues with the Epic Games Store desktop application.

I bought Age Of Empires 3 Definitive Edition on Steam.

It is a fun game, but the recommended system requirements are crazy.

 

Microsoft recommends a NVIDIA GTX 980 or AMD Radeon R9 Fury for playing at 1080p.

Recent update to my Doom Box has it playing Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom & ......Hexen :devlish:

 

20201101-153501      20201101-153551

 

I can get it playing Quake by booting to FreeDos. Unfortunately there is no sound. Getting it to play Quake 2 has utterly defeated me :(
