Hi,
I want to tell you about GamePassCompare.com the website I created for the last 6 months.
I was allowed by the mods to make another post after the previous one was deleted for too much caps lock, I got too excited and overdid the capslock, it’s my first website after all (Dev Journal)
The website was created to compare all gaming subscriptions, right now it has Xbox Game Pass, EA Play, Ubisoft Plus, and Stadia Pro. I hope to add PS Now this week.
And there is also the option to compare your ENTIRE Steam wishlist in less than 3 seconds.
I was working very hard to make it, read through each and every comment I got from various subreddits and already implemented some requests since the last post. I got a very long list of changes coming up based on that feedback, it gets me so excited to see that people are enjoying it and care to make it better.
Hoping to get your support once again, despite posting for the second time in a week, I’d love to hear your feedback. …
#Introduction
With so many games releasing nowadays, I think it’s easy for the good ones to get lost in the shuffle. I’m going to list 50 local multiplayer games releasing in the future. This is just a tiny fraction of what’s on the horizon, as Steam alone received 9886 games in 2020, likely several thousand of which featured local multiplayer (although quality control isn’t the best on Steam, that still gives one a lot of options).
I’m going to order the games by release date. If the game does not have a tangible release date, I’ll place it in the list based on what I think is more likely to come out first, based on marketing material and communication from the developers. Platforms listed is just what’s known at this time.
#Games Omitted from the List
A. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands [NOT CONFIRMED]
I was looking at the metacritic and the game was at 75!
But looking at streams and videos, the game seems to be everything a Mario Golf game should be. I was wondering if people’s experiences were at 75 or if the game is better/worse than that.
So I’ve been a gamer all my life and have always had irl friends to play with but lately I’ve found that as I’m getting older my tastes are changing and I find myself drifting away from what they want to play and end up playing mostly solo now. But this means that a lot of the co-op games I would like to play aren’t really an option because I know my irl friends wouldn’t even be interested. I always end up joining Discords that have LFG channels but I can never bring myself to put a post in there to say I’d like to host/join a game.
​
Does anybody else struggle to put themselves out there and make new friends to play with or is it just me?
Gamers have enormous power in their hands in the form of money they pay for micro transactions. If the quality of the game is bad they can literally force the company to get it better by not purchasing cosmetics or other stuff.
Take for example Apex Legends. The game is plagued with audio issues and cheaters. Literally everyone, be it causal/serious gamers or pro-players, complaints about it on twitch/subreddit and yet nothing gets fixed. But imagine if for just the genesis collection event(launching this June 29), everyone swore to not purchase anything unless the issues were fixed. The impact of that kind of money loss would absolutely force EA to fix these issues. It would force them to care about their community of gamers and actually listen to them.
It just pains me so much that majority of people don’t realize that the power to fix the game is in their hands. Please spread the word. Let’s start this revolution with this event in Apex Legends, and it can continue to …
Like many of you, I was quite disheartened to find I would need a plugin chip for my motherboard (ASUS ROG Maximus 12 Hero) to support the Windows 11 TPM requirement.
This morning I read the linked article on Ars Technica. After learning of a firmware version called PTT Intel) that ships with many newer processors, I went back into my BIOS settings. Low and behold, I had the option to enable PTT on my processor.
AMD option is called fPTM
My system now qualifies for the Windows 11 upgrade.
Good luck everyone. It’s definitely worth checking before chasing the purchase of a plugin chip.

Edit: Corrected setting to PTT for Intel, added AMD verbiage.
I wouldn’t consider myself to have very high standards when it comes to enjoying games that aren’t modern. I find games like Doom I/II, Half Life, and Halo CE to be just as fun as when they released, primarily because they were so mechanically simple it was hard to “age” anything outside of visuals. But then I go back and try to replay something like Witcher 1 and I spend most of my time playing the game with a frown, the jank permeates the entire experience.
Where does New Vegas fall, how has it aged? I’ve been in the mood to play a good RPG and this one always comes up in the discussions.
