So, is there actually a good Gsync monitor available? All I'm seeing are models with severe to disqualifying QA issues...
Anyone has a model they can recommend?

If you want IPS 1440p/144hz there's a bunch of monitors but they all use the same panel and it's a total lottery quality-wise. TN Dells (S2417DG / Dell S2716D) are great but not as cheap in Europe.
New TN 1080p/240hz monitors (like the Asus PG258Q) seem pretty good.
There's also a bunch of 35" VA ultrawides with gsync coming next month.

Getting some real annoying screen tearing in Momodora: RutM. Normally it is an issue I don't always notice but here it's really distracting.

It's a gamble to be honest, I bought the IPS version of Acer XB271HU and I had to return the first one due to severe bleed light bleeding. I got really lucky with the second shipment. It's perfect. Make sure that you buy from a retailer with a decent return policy.

The game is trying to tell you to stop playing it so you have more time to try other games again.

According to the steam forums those things could help: 1) Make sure your game files under Documents\My Games\Rocket League aren't Read-Only.
Running Steam as Administrator will usually fix this so the game can have correct Read/Write access.
or
2) Delete your Replays.

Deleting replays and then waiting for Steam to resync seems to have fixed it for now!

Must've been using up all the cloud storage.

is that the dishonored? because i thought the gmg loot boxes were just cheap shovelware nobody gives a fuck about

also, it was already used :(

edit: by parsnip I see, better than some random lurker, enjoy!
 
Grabbed Dishonored, thanks.
����

No prob!

Yeah that was the only thing of note, the rest was bundle trash, a few which of I didn't have though. These are different than the mystery bundles, these "Loot boxes" have a chance for GMG gift cards and relatively new games.

Did anyone work out if that G2A bundle was legit? (As legit as G2A could be, that is)

I couldn't find anything in the thread, other than the initial shock, and hypothesis

Codemasters confirmed that it didn't supply the Dirt 3 keys.

ow yeah i forgot about your freak chance miracle. kinda tempted to get it because of that, fingers crossed for dark souls 3? :(

Oh I'm sure I'll buy more eventually.

Yeah it was some crazy luck but i wouldn't do it again... i think.

Chances for anything worth more than 15$ (In 7/10 boxes) are probably 1 in 1000.

Edit: I actually got another one (10 pack) after that first with Battlefield 1/50$ Gift card and got games that i gave away here. Also they were all duplicates from my first box and few more. So yeah... chances are minimal.

No idea, there's this article on pcgamesn that would explain why Superhot is in it: https://www.pcgamesn.com/g2a-direct

but for the other games I have no idea. I mean the Syberia keys might be the ones the devs gave out themselves on their website, Dirt 3 might be the ones Humble gave away before it got delisted, but then it doesn't make sense how they got 60k keys.

Codemasters binned the Humble keys that hadn't been used by the "expiry" date. It's why there was an expiry date -- keys don't actually expire, but they can be blacklisted.

I think the SUPERHOT guys signed up with "G2A direct" some time ago... that part could be legit

They're intentionally devaluing their product, while not promoting a sale?

Seems circumspect. The rational answer is the entire situation is completely bogus.

Started playing Lords of the Fallen this weekend. It's nowhere near the quality of the Souls games, in pretty much every way, but I'm enjoying it more and more as I progress (and get to terms with the sluggish feel of the combat). Apparently the game is 15-20 hours, so I can see myself finishing it.
 
some DLC from the MWNL thing...
