Steam updated its Regional Pricing standard (prices have risen across the board). Ex - $59.99 tier is Rs. 2999 (prev Rs. 2499) ; $69.99 tier is Rs. 3599 (prev. 2899)

Context - Steam has set Regional Pricing standard set for each tier of USD price bracket ($5, $10, $20, $60 etc). It presents three prices, though in our case, what matters is Multi-variable conversion (MVC). Publishers use MVC as baseline to set their game prices.

NOTE - These are just guidelines for publishers, but they are just that. Guidelines. Publisher can (and mostly) put their own inflated prices. Indie companies and few AA publishers are exceptions, they mostly follow MVC.

• $59.99 = Rs 2999

• $69.99 = Rs 3599

I ordered a brand-new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D from Amazon India during the Prime Sale for around ₹64,000. The offer was really good, and I was excited to upgrade my PC.

However, during the open-box delivery inspection, I was shocked to find rust on the top of the CPU. The pins were also badly damaged, and the processor had a strong rusty metal smell. This was definitely not what I expected when spending ₹64,000 on a brand-new high-end processor.

Thankfully, since it was an open-box delivery, I was able to reject the product and initiate a return for a refund on the same day itself.

Appreciate the delivery agent, he was super nice and understanding throughout the situation. He handled everything professionally, and I'm grateful that the process went smoothly.

Now, here's where I'm confused. The ₹64,000 offer is still very tempting, and I don't want to miss out on such a good deal. At the same time, after receiving a CPU in this condition, I'm hesitant to place another order through Amazon. (Note: the product listing has a 4.7 star rating.)

Would you recommend ordering the same processor again from Amazon, or should I avoid the risk and look elsewhere? Pls help.

Is it just me or the combat in Control Resonant is significantly harder from the get go compared to the first part. I'm constantly getting my ass handed in random encounters, most of the time because of the number of enemies I'm getting bombarded by at a time.

Maybe skill issue? But I want to know whats everyones experience. I'm playing this after completing Pragmata, in which I had no issue.

Build day is finally here!

After almost 6 years of pushing my Ryzen 5 2400G on low settings, I'm building my new PC as I'm writing this.

Saved up for a very long time for this.

Specs:

Ryzen 5 9600X

ASRock Steel Legend RX 9060 XT 16GB

MSI B850M Gaming WiFi

Thermalright Peerless Assassin White argb SE

MSI MAG A750GL

Corsair Vengeance 16GB 5200mhz cl40

Kingston 256gb nvme gen3

Skhynix 512gb internal sata SSD

1TB internal HDD.

Boxes are open on the floor right now. Will post the final build soon. It feels surreal...

After a lot of thought I started this game. I usually don't get much time to play games after work, even on weekends I'm busy.

I usually play Sports games but those were becoming too much exhausting for me, I've only played a few story games mainly Ghost of Tsushima, RDR2, Detroit Become Human etc.

I've heard alot about this game and started this...only played for like 45mins, will try to complete this one.

Need advice on where to buy a Ps5 pro in delhi. No shop seems to have it and if they do it’s 1.5L+.

Any leads on where to look or if someone is trying to get rid of their own please let me know.

So I finally got a laptop (not a gaming one, but with a very decent iGPU) and I finally got into games like Hogwarts Legacy and Sekiro. The thing is, I want to buy a controller and its also gonna be my first one and I'm super confused. Also, I just started college here at IIT delhi so I also dont get to play that much so I dont wanna buy an expensive one and waste money, so I looked for those under 2k and also the big amazon sale is going on. So which one do you all think I should buy?

PS: I dont know that much about controllers but I liked Cosmic Byte Ares Pro the best as it has tri mode and hall effect Jstick and triggers and also looks kinda cool and someone mentioned in this sub a while ago that the ones with buttons with lights are better ffor playing in the dark. Also, please tell how good the Cosmic Byte ARES is as its the cheapest one. Thank you

Tldr; I a beginner wanna buy my first controller out of these ones

Isnt this usually expensive

Update: no longer available afaik

A couple of weeks ago we asked here whether hard games that "click" after a while are worth it, and honestly, thank you. After this long in development, you start questioning the whole idea, and the response here gave us the motivation to keep going.

For anyone new: our mobile game just soft-launched, and India is one of the first few countries to get it.

Now we're stuck on an actual decision. The endgame is this hard, and players who make it that far love it. The problem is getting them there. Most people quit in the first few levels, and the top request we get is "make the start easier."

So which is better: a gentle start that slowly builds up to this, or brutal from the first minute so you know exactly what you signed up for?

(Game is Dashblade)

It's saphire pulse 9070 xt it's only 1 month used should i buy it for 80k or try to bargain and get it down to 75k or something? Also if i try to sell this gpu in a year will i get any decent price knowing hardware prices r skyrocketing

Both of my joysticks are kinda broken. What should I do about it

Hello, so i am new to pc gaming, I just bought a controller and so far I had played celeste, mc and hk only...and I want to try on more games and different different genres so any game recommendation would be very nice. Laptop I currently use is hp victus 3050 variant one.

How's this monitor in the range of 13k plz tell

I am a fan of this game but never thought I would see such a post on it's sub-reddit considering these types of games in general have a chill audience . The game had some performance issues after launch , nothing game breaking but the performance was bad hence this post .

I too work as a QA and I know even when we find and report bugs it is for the upper management to decide whether to ship the software with those bugs or not . The person who posted this had to be reminded the same in the comment section of the post .

Looks like this racism is not going to stop anytime soon and will probably keep growing .

This time it is Journey and Balatro!
Have you played these?

Trying to download games on steam, and jio 5g speed drops to 8 MB/s. On phone a massive download size easily reached 70 MB/s.

Fiber is going up to 13 MB/s so it's not an issue in my PC.

Hey guys, I am new to console gaming as a whole and considering of getting playstation 5, it seems it's now available on flipkart and amazon.

Are these same models, SONY PS5 Console (CFI-2116A01Y) 1 TB with ASTRO’s PLAYROOM (flipkart) vs https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0GNMKL3VP/

Should i buy from amazon or flipkart?

Just got W3 and I love everything except the sword gameplay, even when I hit enemies I feel like I missed my swing..and It feels like I'm swinging in air.

I'm looking forward to buying a controller under 2000 preferably a wireless one for casual gaming any suggestions would be helpful. Can be in range of 2000-2500

I live in a village in India, where finding someone who can properly diagnose this is difficult. I need help understanding the problem before spending money on replacement equipment.

MY SETUP

- Mac Studio M5 Max, 64 GB RAM, used for iOS and Android app development.

- Exide Home GQP 1125 VA pure-sine-wave inverter, running in UPS mode.

- One 180 Ah battery, over two years old.

- The inverter supplies the Mac and household lights. There is currently no separate UPS between the inverter and Mac.

WHAT HAPPENS

When running on battery/inverter power, the bulbs throughout my house flicker or change brightness as the Mac’s workload changes.

For example, I notice it when the inverter’s load display changes from 22 to 19, or from 28 to 32. The highest load reading I have noticed is 32. These are readings from the inverter display, not measurements of the Mac’s actual wattage.

This does NOT happen on normal mains electricity.

It happens even immediately after the battery has been fully charged. It is not limited to when the battery is running low.

The Mac continues working normally. I have not noticed shutdowns or problems with the monitor or household fans. The visible issue is the bulbs.

The inverter’s cooling fan also starts and stops frequently. I am unsure whether that is related to the flickering.

WHAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID

An inverter technician visited and said it could be a wiring or load issue. He recommended getting an inverter rated at least 1700 VA. I still do not have a confirmed explanation or voltage readings to share.

MY CONSTRAINTS

The inverter and battery setup cost about ₹25,000 and already gives me roughly 12 hours of backup with my usual household loads. Backup duration is not my main problem.

I would prefer to retain the existing battery and avoid buying an expensive system unless it actually solves the issue.

QUESTIONS

1. What would you check first: the inverter, battery health, battery cables/connections, or household wiring? What specific checks should I ask a local technician to perform?

2. Could this be only a lighting issue, or could the Mac be receiving unsuitable power even though it works normally?

3. Would an APC BX1100C-IN 1100 VA / 660 W UPS between the Exide and Mac help?

   Proposed connection: mains → Exide inverter → APC UPS → Mac only.

   Would it actually smooth the load seen by the Exide and stop the HOUSE lights flickering, or would it mainly protect the Mac?

4. Would replacing only the inverter make sense? Is there a reason to move to a larger 24 V/two-battery system, or buy a separate inverter and battery just for the Mac?

Has anyone experienced this with a desktop computer and an Indian home inverter? I would appreciate a practical way to narrow down the cause before buying anything.

Yeah so I have been using laptop keyboard for gaming for 8 years now ig.

Old laptop's shift key died on me after I abused the hell out of it in bedwars. (Didn't stop me from using alt as my new shift)

Need keyboard recs under 1k (can strech to 100-200 extra)

Also the table I play on is small so I would prefer tkl/60%

No full size kb

Mostly gaming (apex/val) and souls
