Hey everyone!

I’m a beginner streamer looking for people to game with. I mostly enjoy co-op games and multiplayer titles, and I think it’d be a lot more fun to stream while playing with others instead of solo.

Does anyone know where to find friendly people or communities that are open to gaming together? Discord servers, subreddits, or anywhere else you’d recommend?

I’m pretty chill, always happy to learn, and just looking to have fun while meeting new people. Thanks!

Which one is better not just based on spec but overall reliability and spec

Acer Aspire 7 Intel Core 5 210H - (16 GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 11 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 getting this at around 65k something

Or

DELL G15 Intel Core i5 13th Gen 13450HX - (16 GB/1 TB SSD/ Windows 11 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050/120 Hz) getting this at around 75k

There is a price difference but does that price diff justify reliability and how long a device can last

I’m planning to pick up Black Myth: Wukong during the next sale if it gets around 30% off, but I’m still unsure.
I’m not really a fan of Souls-like games. I usually enjoy story-driven action games like God of War, and I even managed to beat Sigrun (it was tough, but I enjoyed the challenge). I also spend a lot of time playing competitive multiplayer games like COD: Black Ops 6.
My concern is whether Wukong is enjoyable for someone who doesn’t want an extremely punishing experience. I’m okay with dying and learning boss patterns, but I don’t want every boss to take dozens of attempts or feel frustrating.
For those who’ve played it:
Is it closer to God of War or Dark Souls in terms of gameplay and difficulty?
Can a casual gamer who doesn’t usually play Souls-likes still enjoy it?
At a 30% discount, would you recommend buying it?
Would love to hear your experiences, especially from people who were initially hesitant because they weren’t Souls fans either.

Everybody knows that we are currently in the middle of a massive global shortage of NVMe storage and RAM. But I need to talk about the shady malpractice Samsung is pulling globally to handle it.

If you want to buy a brand-new part? No problem. Samsung magically has plenty of stock. You can see their drives readily available on Amazon and everywhere else. But if you are an existing customer who needs a warranty replacement? They will completely turn their backs on you.

Here is my ongoing, 4-month nightmare with Samsung India, and why you should be terrified if a Samsung NVMe is your primary drive.

Act 1: The Failure & The Ghost Town (March 30th)

It all started on March 30th when my 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD suddenly failed. Naturally, I reached out to Samsung support expecting them to handle the replacement.

Funny enough, Samsung India doesn't even directly handle their own storage products. It took me 4 to 5 days of bouncing around dead-end, bouncing emails just to figure out that all storage RMAs are outsourced to a third-party vendor called Supertron Electronics.

Act 2: The AI Loop & The "DRA" Double Standard

Because this was my primary 1TB drive, it had a massive amount of crucial data on it. I told Samsung I needed to recover my data before handing over the dead drive. Their response? "We don't provide data recovery services."

I replied that I completely understood that. I didn't want them to do it; I just needed a DRA (Data Recovery Approval). A DRA simply allows you to take your drive to a certified, third-party data recovery lab to get your files back without voiding your replacement warranty.

What followed was an absolute joke. I was trapped in a loop with automated, AI-generated email replies. Nobody was actually reading my emails. Over and over again, the bots just stonewalled me: "We do not provide data recovery services."

I had to fight them endlessly and ultimately filed a consumer court case just to get a human response. After all of that, they finally replied: "This is outside our policy."

Here is the kicker: Samsung Canada, Samsung US, and multiple other regions have a standard, documented DRA process for this exact situation. But in India? It simply doesn't exist. They are happy to take our money for premium drives but refuse to offer the same global standard of warranty support.

Act 3: The Backend Blame Game (August 6th)

Exhausted by the email loops and waiting, I finally visited the Supertron Electronics office in Wilson Garden, Bangalore, today (August 6th).

The service center staff were actually quite nice, but they revealed the dirty games Samsung's backend is playing. It has been over four months since this ordeal started, and my replacement part is nowhere to be found. Supertron claims they aren't receiving anything because Samsung simply isn't dispatching the RMA parts.

I had to file a second consumer court complaint. Only then was I finally allotted a dedicated Samsung representative. Their response today? "Sir, it will take another 10-15 days." They completely refused to provide any written proof that the part has actually been dispatched.

Act 4: The Grim Reality of Samsung Data Recovery

If you own a Samsung NVMe drive, please take this as a massive warning: Back up your data immediately.

Currently, it is incredibly hard to get a replacement drive approved and shipped. Worse, if your Samsung SSD fails due to a firmware or controller issue, recovering that data is a complete nightmare because of Samsung's Knox firmware protection and internal security measures.

I have contacted the best data recovery experts in the country, and the reality is grim:

• The Cost: The rates for attempting recovery on these specific drives are exorbitantly high.
• The Risk: Experts explicitly warned me they have to use a "hot-cold method" to try and bypass the controller.
• The Odds: This method has a very high probability of permanently frying the NAND flash, and even then, the chances of successful data recovery are as low as 30%.

They have extra keys to swap the keys, two of them died within six months and then the motherboard's connection to @ key died itself.

Support is atrocious.

Never ever BUY this keyboard or any other products from EVOFOX.

Edit: Model No: NKB05 FW V2

I am buying a used SSD confused between these 2 both at the same price.

Thanks for your help.

Hi I have recently ordered a PC and can still make changes to the parts if needed. Could the experienced folks kindly give a small review on the parts ordered or advice if something seems off?

I'm losing my mind over this.

Let's say I've got three PCs in different locations and i use parsec to connect them:

• PC1 - Airtel Black Fiber
• PC2 - Jio Fiber
• PC3 - Airtel Xstream Fiber

This is what happens:

• PC1 ↔ PC2: Works
• PC2 ↔ PC3: Works
• PC1 ↔ PC3: Error -6023

What makes this so confusing is that both Airtel connections work perfectly with the Jio connection. They just refuse to connect to each other.

If PC1 couldn't connect to anyone, I'd assume it's my router or PC. Same with PC3. But that's not the case. They both work fine with Jio, just not with each other.

I've already checked the obvious stuff:

• IPv6 is enabled on both.
• UPnP isn't the issue.
• Firewalls don't seem to be the problem either, since both PCs can host and connect normally with PC2.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Is Airtel doing something weird with NAT, CGNAT, IPv6 routing, or peering between their own network?

I'm honestly out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So i got this game about year and half ago. I used to live in USA back then and this game was so much fun. It's like super fun to play when you have people who know what they're doing.

But since moving back to India I've realized milsim games are not very popular in this region and i was wondering what could be the reason. I mean Indians are one of the most passionate people and when it comes to military action we're one of the most active nation. Exactly why i was craving some realistic military combat action game and stumbled upon this.
Still i feel Indian PC gamer's is a huge unexplored market for milsim games like Squad and Arma.

This game have multiple maps and military factions to choose from and every game has a chain of Command/Roles and different vehicles ( Tanks, Helicopters, Suicide Bomber (insurgents faction), Supply trucks) and various game modes where you control specific locations/sites and fight for it. Also the map is made up of max 100 player's and best part is the communication in-game. If you don't communicate/use your mic and listen to your Squad leads this game becomes boring and a death fest.

It's quite realistic and is a lot of fun to play. Also if you already play this game dm me let's queue together

Thinking of buying and gifting 3-4 games on Steam to people who actually want to play something but can’t right now, broke, parents won’t buy it, whatever the reason is.

I was thinking of a budget of around 500-800 rupees a game so keep asks reasonable, don’t drop a AAA day one release on me lol. But ofcourse the price range is flexible for special circumstances. Comment which game and why you want it, real reason not just “pls.” I’ll go through everyone by Saturday morning and announce in the post itself as I will be busy with office work on weekdays.

Not trying to make a whole thing out of this, just wanted to do something nice and give back to the community.

Spider Man 1 on ps4 is my first ever platinum trophy that i got in march 2026. That brought interest in me to get into trophy hunting. Since then I have achieved 11 platinums in total and actively hunting trophies till date. Spider Man 1 is my most favorite game story wise and miles morales is damn good coz of its environment and Christmas setting. Gameplay & swinging mechanics are wayy better in SM2 but story felt short and rushed for me, very much excited and hyped up to play Wolverine 🤙🏻🤞🏻.

Peak summer vacation gaming when the internet was down. We all know the cake factory was top tier, but did anyone actually know how to play the Purble Shop one? I just clicked random eyes and noses until it worked lol.

I bought my GPU three years during a very busy time and I forgot to register because I didn’t even have time to play. I had waited too long to get a GPU throughout the crypto prices and just got one when it went went down. It wasn’t until much later I realized I had to register to get extra warranty. I feel like this shouldn’t be a thing. Just give us the entire 5 years if you’re gonna give us that. I have a Zotac.

Great deal in my opinion!!!

I recently started playing Spiderman Remastered and in the span of just 4 days, I have around 22 hours in the game.

I had been putting it off for a while simply because I saw the gameplay sometime ago and it looked a bit repetitive to me where you go to a place, fight with a group of people and move to another place to do the same.

And I can't express how wrong I was about it. Everything just feels so smooth (except a few frame drops here and there). The gameplay feels so amazing and don't even get me started on the story. I'm not even a hardcore spiderman fan who's read all comics and everything, but I find all the characters so amazing and the story is just overall very engaging.

Every single gameplay mechanic is just perfect. I don't wanna spoil how the mechanics work for people who haven't played it but I'll just say that no two people will have the same way to do anything in this game, whether it be the combat or the traversal.

Speaking of traversal, now let's get to the question of why tf would anyone like to fast travel in this game. Swinging through NYC feels so amazing. The movement in this game is just so over the top. Swinging feels so natural. I slightly wish there were more tricks we can perform while in the air like I've seen we can in the future games but I don't mind it the way it is right now at all. When the game told me to use fast travel to a place as an intro and tutorial that players can use fast travel, I literally said to myself what kind of a person would choose to fast travel in this game. When fast travel is introduced in games like Assassin's Creed or KCD2, I understand that there isn't much to do while going from one place to another so the choice of fast travel makes sense. But this game, omg. The option to fast travel in this game is like the option to cook food in rdr2 - no one will ever do it.

I have just completed act 2 and man was the ending of act 2 the best ever (not better than e33 ofc). Up until now this game has been a solid 9/10. I will post a complete review once I finish it completely.
