Flying over New York City and wilderness in the snow

Invidia has one on their twitter account that shows a plane on approach over a road with traffic, and overflying what looks like Rome. Amazing detail. That one doesn't appear to be on Youtube but your can find it on their Twitter feed NVIDIAGeForceUK (apparently the forum blocks Twitter redirects)

That is crazy tech. In a good way.

While not PC Gaming related, it's time to send up a

My first game special mode was in Amiga Fighter Bomber, if you name your pilot Buckaroo you have unlimited fuel, I was amazed when I learned that I used to put some secret key combinations for my old programs, which are doing some silly stuff.. and told them to only a few tester that I like.. Good old days.. now I fix the button sizes.. But I'll change that.. I hope.

Yea, back when I was writing code I used to always drop something goofy in that I never told anyone about, just because it made me smile when I would run it.

I had a professor in college who was a COBOL expert. Because COBOL was so verbose and "English language" he used to write subroutines that read like a fairy tale when you read them but produced the proper business output.

When my oldest brother was studying computer science at uni there was only one course. I remember playing a program that was stored on a cassette and thinking it didn't sound very interesting. Mum still has a box full full of punch cards she uses for shopping lists.

Finally got Metro Exodus on steam once the embargo was lifted. I love this game! It feels more like the original imo. I didnt think I would like the weapon customization but it grew on me. Especially since I could make a great combo. Started the Sam's Story dlc and like it so far. Overall it's better than last light

I play Witcher 3 but not that often since I'm quite busy with my auto shop.

Playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance right now (picked it up for free on the Epic Store when it was their free game of the week). The fight mechanics suck wind but the game itself is pretty good, and battle is only a small part of the game (so far).

My three sons and I all downloaded Halo CE just made available on Steam as part of the Master Chief Collection that is releasing all the Halo games on PC this year.

We had a blast with it last night, reliving our days when the oldest one was in college and the four of us would get together online to catch-up and snipe each other from "across the map".

I still suck at the weapons, but get me in a Scorpion and I can at least hold my own.

I play puzzle bubble PC games. These days, criminal case and bubble witch saga are my favourite.

I hit level 26 a few months ago but got busy with school. Winter quarter just ended a few days ago so I deleted my saves and started a new game. Level 9 now. Biggest difference is I never even tried Gwent in my earlier attempt. Anyone have some worthwhile quests or hacks for early-game? I'm trying to do things I didn't do the first time, also largely ignoring mindless looting.

Can't wait for the FS2020 release. I upgraded everything on the desktop for show prep.

I downloaded free Digital Combat Simulator last night but it took so long to install that I only had time to play for a few minutes. It looked pretty good from what I saw. Limited free a/c and regions but lots of paid upgrades available.

Anyone play Disco Elysium? Thinking of giving it a go. Looks interesting, but TBH I'm not too much into RPG.
