Thankfully there are preservation projects working to keep Flash games playable in their original form. The only question remaining is which you should play. We’ll answer that question, and explain the best ways to play them, below. How to play Flash games in 2020 The Flash preservation project Flashpoint allows players to play thousands of Flash games offline by emulating both the game and a local server to mimic the original site....
Technology has gotten wilder since GTA 5’s original release, and this list reflects some of that. Better performance with upscaling, and VR (because I love VR) have come to Los Santos, along with model swaps, remade maps, and gang warfare, so here’s our updated list of the very best GTA 5 mods. Before we begin, you should consult our handy guide on how to install GTA 5 mods. Follow it and you’ll have a good basis for working with the many files below....
The WD Blue SN550 is a great value SSD for those after a quick yet wallet-friendly NVMe drive, as it offers PCIe 3.0 speeds for the same sort of prices as slower SATA models. You’ll need to make sure you’ve got a compatible motherboard with a free M.2 slot in order to use it, of course, but most modern motherboards come with at least one M.2 slot these days, if not two or three depending on how fancy it is....
Jalopy Jalopy is a driving game that truly understands the absurd ambition of road trippery. You have been gifted an old banger, the Laika 601, by your generous (if bedraggled) uncle Lutfi. It is a cramped wheely bin of a vehicle, based on the Trabant 601 of 1960s East Germany. You will need to change tires, mix fuel, swap batteries, and wrestle with various innards to keep your rusty little friend from dying by the side of the motorway like an unlucky rabbit....
However, I put it to you that the real crime of 2021 is the current state of graphics card box art. It’s just so… bland and sensible these days. Not like the good old days, when Palit’s robo frog was giving you the evils from on high with a menacing grin, PNY’s purple Verto face could turn you to stone with their piercing, cybernetic snake eyes, or… whatever the hell’s going on with that goblin up there....
Somewhere between these two poles lay the realm of the Animals, not that they were really animals, but clouds of eyelash-thin mandible, grot and sparkle, like rotten food on the point of becoming a school of tropical fish. I loved Animal World. I used to spend hours trying to mind-hack my way into it. I was pretty shocked to find its likeness in Sluggish Morss: Pattern Circus - an irresistibly strange, gristly, sorrowful, comical and inventive album of creatures, songs, places and phrases from Jack King-Spooner and composer Helena Celle....
This guide will show you how to create the best Fischl build in Genshin Impact. Below we’ll cover everything you need to know about Fischl, including wishing, weapons, artifacts, ascension materials, talents, abilities, and constellations. Best Genshin Impact Fischl build for DPS Best weapon: Skyward Harp Alternatives: Viridescent Hunt, The Stringless If you’re using Fischl as your main DPS, try the Skyward Harp or Viridescent, which increase CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate respectively....
On this page, we’ll go over our best build for Ayato that can be adapted for either DPS or elemental support, since these are his two strongest roles in a party. Best Genshin Impact Kamisato Ayato build for DPS or Hydro support Best weapon: Haran Geppaku Futsu Alternative: The Black Sword Ayato’s strongest base talent is his Elemental Skill, but equip him with the right sword and he becomes a dab hand in normal melee combat as well....
Xiangling is a solid fighter, placing respectably on our Genshin Impact character tier list, which becomes a lot more important when you take into account the fact that Xiangling is one of only two characters (alongside Barbara) who you can claim completely for free after completing the Prologue. Xiangling is powerful enough that you might well consider her as your party’s main DPS character, though she is most ideally placed as a sub DPS....
This still leaves a selection that isn’t exactly bursting the deals sack at its seams, but hey, at least they’re in stock. I’ve also checked around to make sure that these are in fact the best prices for their respective cards, and have excluded GPUs without any particularly decent offers. For now, then, these are your best bets if you’re either in desperate need of a replacement graphics card, or aren’t inclined to wait until later in the year, when AMD and Nvidia are both expected to reveal new models....
All this comes from a livestreamed interview with excellent YouTuber and Twitcher “Northernlion”, who made his name with a nine-year (and counting) Isaac Let’s Play series. NL’s one of my favourite vidfolk and it’s a good chat: With Repentance launching on Wednesday, that’s a big focus of the chat. McMillen said they were busy testing, as much as anyone can with such a complex game with so many items and interactions, and he really wants this launch to go well....
You are now, no doubt, standing from your desk and roaring in furnace-hot outrage, that I have been such a deceptive little horror. “A city,” you bellow, so hard that one of your vocal chords snaps and pings out of your mouth like a rubber band, “cannot be a boss!”. You try to snarl the word “clickbait,” but it just comes out as a grating, painful honk; I have the stage once more....
A big digression about trains and commuter rage this week, as well as a shocking update from Matthew re. the farewell fizzy drink tour. But most exciting is that the Cavern Of Lies is replaced this week by a Cavern Of Announcements! Yes, we have very special news indeed, and you have to listen to at least two thirds of the podcast to find out what it is. But it is genuinely incredible....
Because there’s no Matthew, I change the Cavern Of Lies into a cavern of moral judgement for Nate, and make him run a gauntlet of some of the most important choices in Dragon Age Inquisition with no context. He turns out to be both authoritarian and kind of wholesome as an Inquisitor. Music is by Jack de Quidt. Links The Nate Gambit this week is for RimWorld, where he gradually turned his commune into cannibals obsessed with bears because it was economically sensible....
If you’d not followed along with The Forgotten City before, or played its Skyrim mod campaign, it’s a time looping murder plot all about the Golden Rule. Not the one I got taught in school though. This one’s a bit more fire and brimstone, where everyone in this ancient Roman town is doomed to be turned into golden statues if any one of them commits a sin. Say, has anyone written down what things are considered sins?...
Get the LG 27GL83A gaming monitor for $249.99 (was $299.99) We’ve covered this monitor a few times, so I’ll keep this fairly brief. The 27GL83A hits the current sweet spot for price versus performance, offering an upgrade in both physical and temporal resolution over your standard 1080p 60Hz monitor - 1440p gives you plenty of detail for text and visually dense games without stressing your graphics card too much, while 144Hz provides a huge boost in clarity for fast-moving objects while also reducing input lag, a great help for FPS, racing and other fast-paced game genres....
“The tyrant Heavenly Peter has escaped your clutches, and you have been tasked with the mission of finding him,” according to Procession. Your pointing and clicking is assisted by what it calls a “verb coin” system, which you can see in the trailer. Instead of guessing what sorts of things you might be able to do, clicking on stuff reveals possible actions to perform. Poke a sleeping guy’s face. Slash off the skirts of a suspiciously tall lady....
The fifteenth door of the calendar is incredibly stylish, and you can hear some amazing tunes on the other side. But, er, there also appears to be blood seeping out from the other side. Oh dear… It’s Paradise Killer! James: Paradise Killer is a real diamond. You’ll know if the vibes are for you as soon as you hit the title screen, and that vaporwave/city pop, synthy sound oozes out of your blue and pink screen....
We’re having another bite of the time loop apple, with Outer Wilds’ Echoes Of The Eye DLC. Matthew Castle: Is it against calendar rules to include DLC or expansions? Well, if ever a game taught us the joys of colouring outside the lines it’s Outer Wilds, a game about a time loop and the loopholes that might just knock you out of it. Even more so than Outer Wilds, Echoes Of The Eye is a story about breaking through and busting out....
