I'm 130hrs in but I'm still pre-Moonrise Towers, currently wandering around a poisonous bog of some sort, so no spoilers please

I'm finding the game repetitive and I think it's my own fault? Am I taking the game way too slowly by following every narrative thread and opening every crate etc?

Should I skip some narrative beats?

Should I change my team's subclasses to mix up combat?

Any advice appreciated

Loved the tomb aspects of Tomb Raider and the more puzzle'y parts of Uncharted, any other favourites in the genre regardless of age?

I'm on pc and switch

I'm not very tech savvy so please bear with me.

I bought a premade in 2018 and I've only updated the graphics card and ram since then. I'm using a 55" Samsung TV as a monitor. It's really starting to get sluggish/finicky. Gaming example: it can run BGate3 on medium but starts having issues any higher.

• Processor: Intel Core i3-8100 Coffee Lake CPU, 4 Cores, 3.6GHz
• Graphics Card NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8gb
• CPU Cooler: Intel Stock CPU Cooler
• Motherboard: ASUS Z370-P Motherboard
• Memory: 8GB DDR4 2400MHz Memory (2 x 4GB Sticks) + Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G36C16U4B 3600 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Memory Kit, 16GB (8GB x2), CL16, Black
• Hard Drive: Seagate 2TB Firecuda Hybrid Hard Disk

EDIT for more info

It's hooked up to my TV because I use it for everything from simple browsing, YouTube, streaming TV/movies, to gaming. For games the most taxing is something like BG3, but I can't think of anything else in terms of taxing programmes.

I don't think I'd have a use for it if I kept it. Even if I kept the hard drive I'd have to research How and What To Save To Which Drive On Your PC, but if that's what y'all recommend then I can.

I'm not against investing a few grand if it's the right money spent at the right time, if that makes sense? My worry about changing individual parts is the standard worries about installation and compatibility, but if it's too soon to be changing the whole rig then I can get over that

Noob here

I have a wooden sheet of plywood that acts as a protective topper for an outdoor bath tub (don't ask). I'm looking for a way to add folding legs to the underside that will rest in the bath tub when the topper is on, and fold out to form a table sitting alongside the bathtub while it's in use

I just noticed that when I look at a game which I know nothing about and Steam says "Mostly Positive" I tend to immediately get suspicious

Whenever I enter a discord it's like walking in halfway through ten conversations happening all at once.

Unless you go all-in and follow everything being said like you would a personal/private discord, how do you navigate them?

E.g I can search for "cleric" and try and parse the latest conversations but it's janky

No one is on Lemmy because they like shitty corps so I need your help

I'm at a loss. Increasingly whenever I order New on eBay or wherever, the order gets fulfilled by Amazon.

When I complain to the site I bought it from they shrug.

I'm regularly paying more for items and still funding an undeniably awful company
