So, raytracing is the new gpu trick to look out for when upgrading next gen.
Intrigued but also terrified by the possible hit in processing power.
A bit like nVidia hairworks then.

Aye the tech is cool and the something that will be the way of doing things in the future, but for now the new Nvidia cards are a ripoff and a con in terms of the marketing. If anyone happens to be considering pre-ordering or knows someone who is, please don't. The new GPUs will only be a little faster than the current iterations for a LOT more money. The raytracing stuff when enabled in games is a massive performance hit on these first wave of RTX cards, even the 2080ti was struggling with holding 60FPS at 1080p in the demo titles.
Raytracing may be the furure, it'll take a while before gpu tech catches up.
The new cards with all postprocessing on seem to adhere to 1080p as stndard resolution. That's quite a bit down from 4k.
Ouch!

As part of an awesome birthday present, my sister got me Virtual Springfield on PC. It's a Windows 95 game. I installed it on Windows 10, and that has been fine, but when I try to play the title I get a CD error message.
Two Point Hospital, spiritual successor to Theme Hospital, is out. I have it downloaded but won't get a chance to play it until who knows. Really enjoyed the original though so high hopes.
Armello is one of the most charming games I've had the pleasure of playing. That art style, the animations, the sound design, and music, it's a world I love spending time in.
It also helps that it plays so damn good, and especially with friends. The temporary alliances, the inevitable backstabbing, just brilliant stuff.
Edit: The DLC packs are on sale at Humble as well. I'd recommend The Bandit Clan for anyone who wants to dip a toe. You get four new playable characters (as with all the DLC's), a themed dice, and clan ring. I'm a fan of all four but Sylas is my fave, gaining an extra sword (with pierce vs King's Guards) for every wanted level can make him an absolute terror.
