Mutazione is a real fucking delight.  Kinda Oxenfree style point and clicker, lovely aesthetic, great writing.  Everyone on the island is a mutant and that is fine.  I like the main characters fashion style too.

You’re not supposed to play the games you get free from Epic.

I never bothered sticking H2 on my SSD, the load speed stuff is overrated for a lot games. Hardly chomping at the bit to boost into a Hitman level 5 seconds faster. If your laptop only has an SSD, then I feel bad for you son. Games do not respect that small format size these days.

It's not the load speed that's the issue, it's pure size. 

I mean, tbh, it's a small problem, because I'm still ok for space and I now have d2, AC Od and Cities loaded. Hades coming, and then the rest I'll want are all 2d indies. It'll just mean a little discipline for not playing multiple AAAs at once. Can add ssd storage later anyway.

Media and everything else is all on old laptop streaming so there's nothing else to go on this one.

(FWIW, Our main monstrosity of a cities map was taking 7+ minutes to load on old lappy. have a mod that shows timer and whats not loading from assets. Down to 2+ on the new laptop.)

For NVMe’s standard on slim laptops, 256gb or 512gb is the norm. Most laptops have at least one extra slot for another NVMe slot.

Yep, it all is compat. Checked before buying.

I took the hit on storage to avoid the small ssd and big hdd thing and because it allowed upgrade on all important specs. Graphics card. Screen, ram.

As it turns out when I looked, I still have over 200gig space with hades loaded too.

All is well.

Also, have to give big shout to "everything" search app from void works. You can actually find things. Middle finger to epic not having cloud saves. Had to faff and transfer.

Who has more than one gaming PC?

Well one isn't strictly for gaming but I play Disco Elysium on it.

People who upgrade their laptops but don't get rid fo the old one?

I'd say cloud saving is most useful due to clean reinstalls, crashes, drive errors and other pc goodies.

Cloud saving is great until you get caught out by something that doesn't have it after a Windows reinstall or something. Always best to double backup anything you've put a lot of time into that you care about.

So it might be too late but it turns out you can choose which missions to install and uninstall in Hitman 2 via the DLC tab in the game settings menu on steam, just saw it on twitter

I too have been blown away by my recently purchased ACER i7-9750H RTX 2060 laptop, but only in so much that i've been playing previously owned games with new found graphical clarity and framerates that'd make a blind man weep with joy! 

But, its still the same old games, so its not wow-wee yet! 

The way i see it, i'm all set up for the next year or two and don't need to jump on the new consoles this Christmas. Also, its still a laptop which i can use for work on my travels, so its a win-win in that regard. 

BUT! The fan noise is noticeable (as with all laptops) and it did make me dig out my wireless gaming headphones, which given my lockdown DIY skinhead, don't bother me as much as before. lol!

My biggest joy was Divinity Original Sin 2 cross save from my Switch (of all devices). I've bought that game 4 times now because it is utterly brilliant, but i'd played a lot on Switch on holiday last year, so to be able to jump back in on my 4K TV with Ultra settings was simply wondrous! 

I bought Disco Elysium in the Steam sale, but i'm waiting for my wireless keyboard & mouse to arrive before settling into a comfy chair. 

PC gaming does not have to be sat upright in an ergonomic chair. Unless you're strapped for space, then deffo.

It is, I made a thread for it that nobody bothered with.
