    Receiver and Receiver 2 are both wonderfully strange first person shooters. They’re slower paced games, with more tactics and running away than most fps games.

      Receiver 2 looks very interesting. How do you find it to be playing with a floating gun?

      I could see you being interested in Unrecord.

        My main gaming computer died before Receiver 2 came out, but I still play the hell out of the first game. (on minimum settings…) It mostly plays like a first person shooter, but you start with a random gun, and then have to load and reload it with various button presses.

        The limited ammo and somewhat deadly enemies turn it into more of a stealth game with massive skill requirements for shooting accuracy.

        The world is empty except for turrets and flying gun drones, which somehow makes it rather creepy.

        Overall, it’s a great game, and I wish I had the time and money to rebuild my main rig so that I could play the sequel.

          How old is your system? Would it not be inexpensive enough for you to build a new cheap system for a performance upgrade? What hardware do you need to have a fully functional system working again?

            Right now I’m on an old laptop. As to getting my main system going again, It would be easier to just rebuild it from scratch. It was old enough that I needed an upgrade, and then I started getting random faults, but nothing that I could ever identify properly.

            Windows stopped loading properly, so I switched over to Linux, which kept things going for another two years… And then that stopped working properly.

            And then I ended up having to move, and now I don’t have room for a large gaming rig, which is another reason why I’m on the old laptop.

            I’ve been saving up, but well… I can at least say that my bills are paid and I’m not in debt.

            I’ve found that in my life, I either have money for a fancy gaming rig, or the time to play games, but never have I really had both at the same time. Sometimes I have neither.

              You can live at ease with not having any debt weighing on you.

              I was thinking maybe you could do a 4 core i3 13100, B660 board, 16GB DDR4, and RX 7600.

              That would beat a 8700K and Radeon 580.

                I actually had a nice gaming rig all priced out before my recent, surprise move.

                Now I’m looking at laptops. They might lack the raw power of a full gaming rig, but the space savings are more attractive at the moment…

                But that’s something for the future, I have to rebuild my savings a bit more before I start thinking about spending large chunks of it.
