Looks like Prey is free again on EGS for may 12. I snagged it on one of the one day Christmas giveaway and have enjoyed every minute of it.
It includes the critically acclaimed DLC, which I've yet to try.

So playing Salt and Sanctuary, I swapped out my sword and board for a pike. Kind of aimlessly leveling up stats at the moment, mostly aiming at things like buffing up magic for healing spells, or health buffs. Did about one strength and one dex each.
I see a mace is rank S in strength, while the pike is rank C or B in either category. So does a higher rank mean more damage? Like, will I do more damage with the mace at a comparable strength level then with a pike by leveling up strength or dex on that weapon?

Hard mode totally isn't worth it. They say hard is technically supposed to be for coop, and it shows.
Bullet spongy things actually rush your position and force melee or running away while you get hammered. Not fun.

I actually don't find Gears that difficult. My friend and I have beaten the first game on Insane...it was tough but I find it fair...though its been awhile.
Coop is easy, single player is doable but not fun because of cheapness designed around coop.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I don't find these games cheap.
I actually believe Gears 1 is more difficult playing in coop because those branching sections can be incredibly tough on harder difficult levels. If one person dies during those sections, it requires a reload.
Newer games allow AI to revive so they are not nearly as bad.
Set up the latest Kega Fusion. Looks and plays phenomenally.
Gunstar Heroes ho!

Speaking of retro gaming: The community is full of snobs.
If you paid more money then a Nintendo Switch is worth for a Framemeister to play on original hardware for that 200 dollar Dreamcast shmup, they'll let you into their little club. But if you emulate legally bought roms amounting to 7 dollars on Kega Fusion, or play faux shmup games like Crimzon Clover, they don't want to know you.
Like a man's worth is in how much money he spends, instead of the hobby he has. Being frugal used to be a virtue.

Kega Fusion is awesome in spite of its age, but filters are very hard to find. Actually had to get some XBRZ multithread options from a Youtuber who had a cloud link.
Also fiddling with Retroarc's Genesis Plus GX core for the first time. Seems to work OK, but my god is the front end hideous. It's like they designed it to be unintuitive.

You'd think a laptop from 2019 would outperform a desktop from 2014, but no.

Well, the integrated Intel 620 laptop was much much better at Supermodel emulation (Star Wars Arcade trilogy and Sega Rally games and such)
Worse at other things like Doom 2016.
So yeah, maybe this AMD laptop just has really bad DX support or isn't using all 12 cores properly or something.
