What a beast!!
My new PC from @PCSpecialist, powered by a @NVIDIAGeForceUK RTX5090! #ad#RTXAI
Switched to an @AMD_UK 9800X3D CPU too for superior gaming performance. Its even running Tarkov at 4k no problem🤯
Living, the wait is almost over.
The HUNGER Open Beta and Early Access are drawing near.
Watch our reveal trailer to discover when you’ll return to the Chateau.

Stopped watching when it went 3pp, more out of protest than anything, but I tuned into a couple of rounds a few months ago.
A couple things I didn't like were the pickaxe & digging holes meta, nade spam is still kinda crazy, still not a fan of RPG's, BDRM was crazy in pro play from what I saw. This is a while ago now, things might have changed.
Point is, there's so many things that take away focus from the top tier gunplay this game has. So many talented players out there, and a lot of the time it's ruined by the camera perspective or utility spam. So many potential good moments are robbed from viewers.
Pro PUBG peaked in 2019/20 imo, it was a great watch back then. Great gunfights, teamwork & positioning won games, (a little RNG too). Simplicity, now there's honestly too much shit going on, PLUS 3pp. It's fucking mad.
@papakowclutch I'd just finished a game where it was all "spam to get up or spam to do this"
Literally in the intro to a new game and the brain took over and just assumed to spam everything. I was betrayed.
Seeing all this PvP VS PvE debates on here, surely the full sweats understand that the normal dude only gets a few hours a week to game, compared to their 6-8 hours plus a day right?
The disparity between casual & sweat has never been wider, & the money involved in streaming & gaming has inspired a whole generation of gamers to take it seriously. Imagine all those millions of young kids Ninja & Shroud inspired in 2018/19, they're now late teens early 20's & GRINDING.
IMO, SBMM solves some issues but adds others, (increasing queue times & making high level SBMM insanely unfun). PvE modes seem to increase the games playerbase, but at a cost of the PvP modes, which become super sweaty or ratty with only the experienced players left.
Having played pro, & now a full time variety streamer (I'm shite) I've seen both sides of the coin. One thing's for sure, we need each other for our favourite games to thrive.
Interesting problem for game devs to solve, & most prominently in my mind is HUNGER.
How do you make your game fun for new players who play 2 hours a day, but also fun for experienced dudes who grind it 24/7 without compromising queue times or fun, & who do you prioritise? The causals or the sweats?
I'm in a hospital waiting room, sorry for the essay. 🫠
@mikeb300578 Yeah I think so. Some balancing changes are needed for sure, I mean there's some mega broken builds if you have legendary armour etc.
It's rough, but so are all extraction games solo when you're learning.
We finished Valor Mortis today, & started Silver Pines. This is off the back of the Hunger playtest & GTA 6 coming out next month.
Fucking good time to be a gamer, actually spoiled for choice. Loads more good games too honestly, these are they ones I've played the past 2 weeks.
