Performance question about Elden Ring in 2026

So, with the upcoming Steam Autumn Sale, (october 1st) Ive been eyeing a few games, Elden Ring being one of them. I've never seriously played a Souls game before but I really like the setting and world of Elden Ring, I like that it's open-world rather than linear. (like other souls games) I'm not a stranger to difficult games, but I will admit that most of my gaming experience is with strategy games, and I haven't played many action-based games in quite a while.

It has to be a deck of UNO cards. Can't be having extra cards mixed into the deck. But can have cards be removed from the standard UNO deck for the sake of game balance.

After what I felt was a strong start with the original Spider-Man.... it's been kinda uneven since. It's like the first game having such a good story was an aberration as since then, the characters have felt undercooked and underdeveloped. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of how they keep killing villains off too which means more often than not, they don't get to reach their full potential. But that's just me. How about all of you?

Spider-Man Web of Shadows is still my favorite Spider-Man game, and now I've played it on the Wii

Back in 2008, Activision published Spider-Man Web of Shadows, developed primarily by Shaba Games, with support by Treyarch.

I played it on launch or a few months later, and hadn't played it for over a decade until I got my hands on a copy for the Wii... Read more

Ice cream with miniature pies has lived rent free in my head since childhood (which video game food do you really want to try?)

Everyone who's played Simpsons Hit & Run knows what I'm talking about. The very first mission in the game has you going to Apu's store to pick up some ice cream with mini pies in it. That always sounded so fucking yummy to me. Another one is the sinner's sandwich from Deadly Premonition which I actually made and it was fucking delicious!!! Not a punishment at all!

Anyways, anyone prefer the Remake versions? Think the remake versions fit the games story vibe better?
