Looking for games (preferably action focused) where at every turn the player character is getting attacked by something or some sort of catastrophic scenario and constantly getting hurt by one thing or another. Guys who are just really going through it. Bonus points if the main character is a regular guy and not some badass soldier or something.

Games I've played like this:

• Uncharted
• Last of Us
• Tomb Raider
• Resident Evil 7 & 8
• Alan Wake
• Batman Arkham
• MARVEL'S Spiderman

Discounting the beaked hoods because I feel like those would be suspicious in any era.

Expedition 33 was the last game that earnestly made me cry. It's very hard to move me to tears, so E33 holds a very special place in my heart. I'm looking for games that hold very heavy and meaningful emotional weight with occasional moments of levity. There's very little that can actually make me cry and I need games that can break through my stoic, autistic shell and feel something. Ideally games made within the last decade.

I know next to nothing about fragrance, so I wanted to defer to the experts on what might be some common mistakes when applying and wearing fragrances that diminish scent faster. I know a big one is not showering or putting on dirty clothes, which I'm already ahead of, but I'd like to know if there's anything more I should be doing.

I just got AC: Black Flag Resynced. My 2nd time ever installing a Ubisoft game on Steam and I get the same error message I got last year with Assassin's Creed: Shadows. The game will give me an error message stating that I've installed it on an HDD and that it strongly recommends I install it on an SDD. I know for certain I haven't installed it on an HDD because right before you install the game, Steam gives you a pop-up letting you choose what disc you want to install it to and my HDD doesn't even have enough space for it. These two AC games are the only games that have given me this strange problem.

If not, what is the closest equivalent?

I took a few good months off after getting half way through Vault of the Damned, now I'm back trying to defeat Thol on mayhem 6, but I'm struggling. Can anyone recommend builds that don't need perfect .01% god rolls, can kill hordes of enemies in a reasonable time, and platinum Thol without niche interactions that require me to push like 5 extra buttons in a very specific order in quick succession? (my hand-eye coordination is really bad). I also don't care about one-shotting bosses. Defeating them within a minute or two is fine with me.

Preferably an incarnate build but others will work as well.

Edit: This post DOES relate to Borderlands 4!!

I live in a two story home where the WiFi router is located in the living room and my PC is located in the room directly above it on the second floor. the guy who set up our home internet said running an ethernet cable through my floor to the router downstairs would not be possible with the way our house was built, so I resigned myself to a regular wireless connection. Our provider allows us to switch between 2.4 GHz or 5GHz or which I'm currently using.

I am aware that 5GHz is not as good at penetrating walls as 2.4GHz, but I would like to know to what extent and if I should just switch to 2.4.

Edit: I should add that I live in an American 2-story suburban home built in 2006. I know that Europen homes tend to have thicker walls and floors on average.

I'm looking for single-player games with similar experiences to games like the Arkham or Spider-Man where you genuinely don't know what's coming up next. Games with stories that take you on a dramatic emotional trip from start to finish.

I have a request for you Chris Stapleton fans. Think about Tennessee Whiskey and how that song made you feel while listening to it. Now think of other songs that made you feel the same way. Then share those songs/artists in this thread. (They don't have to be love songs, just earnest and soulful)

Let them make their silly little tweets and videos with same thumbnail of Faye screaming with "Sony is DONE" in big, red, bold letters 20x times over. When the game launches, it's gonna sell over a million copies in over a week. They'll cope about the sales numbers for another week or two saying they're fake, and they'll move on to the next game to crusade against for the next year and a half.

My Russian friends! I have a question for you guys. I've decided to try the Russian dub for my third playthrough. I don't watch much any Russian media at all, so I have no frame of reference tmfor what good Russian voice acting sounds like. I do know the English dub is kinda cringe and awkward, but it still sounds like the VA's put their heart and soul into it. What I want to know is how well does the Russian voice acting stand up to other Russian language games?

Games with minimal HUD elements like Metro or Dead Space where most, if not all, the relevant information you need as a player is built into into the world to preserve immersion.

Preferably games made within the last 10 to 12 years.
