April-May-June 2026
I have been waiting to upgrade my PC, and I did finally get around to that. Some of my more graphic intensive games my PC was struggling through, which is why I've been avoiding a lot of my bigger, prettier graphic intensive games recently. Built the new PC, and the GPU was the bane of my existence. It has a 4mm clearance in the case! Nearly thought that I snapped part of my GPU off (well, an important part. Part DID snap off!), so that was some stress I didn't need. There was an hour or so I was thinking I would have no GPU haha. And then once I got it all working, I sat down to play and my headset was playing up (which I've also been having issues with..) so then decided to get separate headphones and mic this time rather than a gaming headset, which seems a lot better so far. It is now done, and now I can play more recent games. 007 is playing brilliantly now it has all been fixed. I have a few games I'm excited to be able to play now like Clair Obscur which has been waiting in my backlog since Christmas.
PC Build Chaos - CLICK
If you are planning a PC build.. make sure your GPU has a lot more clearance than just 4mm. Otherwise you are in for PAIN. But it is done, and hopefully this will carry me through another 7+ years.

Cute little idle game
I really enjoyed this game - pretty much just putting books on shelves :D Some of the book titles were interesting to note as you went.
Recommended if you like organising things.
As a librarian, it does remind me of the days when I used to do shelving - but more fun.
You are a stone.
That is the game. Also weird events that happen, and actually really beautiful for screenshots.
But again, you can't move. As you are a stone.
Super fun and strange game.
I realised near the end, that the game needs DLC to 100%, so it's Beaten for now and going back into the backlog.

Bought
Free
getting 007 with the gpu seems like such a steal, the game looks amazing!
It really is! I wouldn’t have bought it without getting it free, but very happy I’m playing it.
It feels like a Bond movie: travelling to lots of places, events that feel like story beats in one of the movies. It does feel strange because they have had moments when it feels like it has reached the height of the story, and then continues on and still keeps building.
Fun game.
My only criticisms of it so far are no Photo Mode, and the online play thing can be annoying and disconnect. You can play offline, but if you start online and are disconnected it pauses the game. Also no manual saves, just checkpoints. I accidentally clicked restart check point instead of resume game after completing a section and then had to replay it all.
I think I’m nearing the end of the story (maybe?), but so far its recommended!
Some good looking tower you have there!
Have fun with 007 and the new gpu!
The tower is so pretty - very happy with my choices, even through the effort of putting it together!
Thank you! 007 is going great so far, feels like playing through a Bond movie :)
Seems like they nailed it then :)
