I’m Also GTA 6 Ready

Back in the 2018 Flipkart Big Billion Days sale, I bought my first laptop, an Acer Predator with a GTX 1050 Ti, for ₹50k. It carried me for almost 8 years. Last month I finally upgraded to a proper PC for ₹1.68L. Didnot build it from scratch, got a prebuilt deal on reddit which was so tempting that i had to get it.

The build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
Motherboard: MSI B650M Gaming WiFi (DDR5)
RAM: Acer Predator Vesta II 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30
SSD: XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe
PSU: MSI MAG A850GL (850W, 80+ Gold, PCIe 5.0)
Cooler: MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 360mm ARGB AIO

Was it worth it?
Totally. It feels like a dream come true.

I've been playing since CS:GO, moved on to CS2, and earned my 5-year badge. Now I'm going for the 10-year one. Fps shifted from 60 to 360, it felt like iam completely in new world.

I also started COD MW and MW4 (2026) on this PC, and the gameplay is smooth as butter.

Going from a 1050 Ti laptop to this is a different world.

Please do upvote if the price 1.68 seems the best deal i could have got.

I have realised I truly enjoy deduction games and these are two of the best games in that genre.
Have you played them?

Tried to give this shot the GTA VI vibe!

Got the Razer Barracuda X Chroma for 7.8k from Amazon Festival sale. It was up for 8.8k I used my card for extra 1k off hehe

Guys, I have an ASUS TUF F15 with an RTX 3050, and I want to change the thermal paste. I’m not sure which brand would be best for a laptop. I also need a thermal pad for my SSD.

My total budget is around ₹1,000–₹1,500, including the service charge. I’m planning to buy the thermal paste and pad myself and give them to a shop for the replacement.

Can anyone suggest a good thermal paste and thermal pad within my budget?

Yo! Just got this beauty (gamesir cyclone2 with the dock) from amazon for 4.9k using card offers. Def legit.
I just sold my ps5 and wanted to replace the dualsense with this one as i game on my pc a lot.
Initially i wanted to get a legit xbox controller or a ps5 controller but thats when i went all in and researched about all the differences: for example - the type of sticks (potentiometer, hall effect and tmr) ; the polling rates; all the stuff we research on to make us justify spending extra lol. But on the contrary i found this cheaper than the ps5 and xbox ones and it was a nobrainer with the amount of features it offered compared to the other two.

Initial impressions, crazy good quality for the price.
It feels really grippy on the hand and the thumbsticks have a nice tactile feel to it.

What i disliked about the controller:

issues ive noticed coming from a dualsense is that the R2 button on the dual sense had more give compared to the cyclone2 ifykwim and also the vibration motors are way too strong on the left side i had to adjust it to the lowest setting. (My hands were literally in pain on the highest setting)
Other than these all smooth sailing for now.

What i love:

I play a lot of switch games using emulators and im able to connect this as a native switch pro controller without any extra mapping tools or anything i was mind blown (coz im used to mapping the ps5 controller before every game i play lol). The gyro worked flawlessly too whichwas really surprising!
The gamesir windows app!!! Sucha responsive and polished app. Tons and tons of customisation options.
The sticks feel very responsive and guess what, you can customise their sensitivity too.
The lights, omg the amount lighting changes you can do is crazy def feels overwhelming in the beginning and i literally spent about an hour to set it up.

Final thoughts, if ur on the fence on getting a controller for ur pc and have the budget just go for it! Def worth the money. Will make an update post in the future after further use. Let me know what i shud look out for (if you’ve used this) and if u have any questions feel free to drop a comment! ✌️

So i always wanted to try persona games as I like rp and into anime artstyles and stuff. Today I got to know that persona3 reload has demo version and downloaded it. Loving it soo far, already done a hr into it and it's exceeding my expectations. Am looking to buy it. I want to know from fellow persona players that for how much the games goes on sale and how to enjoy the game at fullest!! Thanku in advance.

So I had recently bought a PS4 slim 1TB from game loot after looking for days in offline stores and OLX

Console was very clean with no damage signs

UI felt laggy but i thought it was decade old console so expected and didn’t give it much thought

First game i played on this was RE4 demo

And after that i downloaded GTAV which suspiciously after downloading took 5 hours to boot for first time

I thought this is how PS4 first time booting time for GTA V might be

It worked with no lag or glitches even ps4 silent

But luckily i thought maybe i should download more games to test and put elden ring on download immediately

But as soon as it made it to phase 2 of download (approximately 40gb) console suddenly started making weird clicking sound and console started lagging and crashing

I thought it might be corrupted download but it’s HDD faulty

Gameloot response through gmail has been very late but atleast they accepted my console for warranty claim

I was being very patient but somehow they took 16 days (still not received yet) with NO info regarding what’s wrong or if they have fixed it yet

It took 2 days of spam mails for their response “we replaced your ps4 faulty HDD”

This gotta be unusual for HDD replacement for taking this long?

As they said it will only 4-5days

when i called them and made this clear to them that it just feels like you guys were wasting current warranty time period to me and going with temporary fix so it’s safe to expect that my main console warranty that has been out of my hand should be extended back?

They refused

I asked for Repair sheet or proof that the HDD you replaced on my console is true

They refused again

Idk if I’m unreasonable

But this is been such a anxious and stressing experience for me that i haven’t even informed my parents

As a 13 years old my parents were gifting me a phone instead i insisted for a ps4 or any hardware to play elden ring smoothly as I got addicted to this game from my friend’s ps5

pS4 seemed only option for my budget

So if anyone looking or planning to get a PS4 from gameloot

Don’t BUY FROM THEM

Like imagine playing your fav song and hitting some balls while at it 😳👌🏻

Found this old newspaper cutout from 2013 that I pasted in my notebook when I was just 11yo.. 🥹
Back then, we had a basic PC that was actually my dad’s work PC. For me, though, it was everything lol. I used to spend hours playing loooot of games including GTA VC, SA and GTA 3 on it.
When I saw this news about GTA 5 in the newspaper, I got SO excited that I cut it out and pasted it in my notebook.
Funny thing is, I didn’t even know buying games was a thing back then ...I used to get pirated games from friends on pen drives. And consoles? I didn't even know consoles were a thing😭
I always thought that someday, when I start earning, I’ll finally buy and play GTA 5.
Today, while going through my old notebooks, I found this page again. Mann, time really flew.
And now, I’m actually going to play GTA 6 on launch day with my own money. That 11yo me would’ve gone crazy knowing this.
From playing pirated games on dad’s work PC to playing GTA 6 on day one. Life really comes full circle sometimes.
Ngl, feeling super nostalgic rn. Little me would’ve never believed this. LFGGG!! 🔥

so i built this pc this year back when i was in kolkata from vedant computers but i’m in delhi currently and i’m looking to move my pc. now.. the issue is, i don’t have the box for the y60 cabinet 😞 and i’ve called vedant computers multiple times but they’ve been slow with telling me how else they can help me ship it. initially since i got it from there, i was willing to pay them shipping and get it shipped here but now that i’ve mentioned i don’t have the box for this cabinet, the responses on my end have been quite bad 🫠 idk what movers and packers to go to either

if anybody has suggestions or can help me out in this case, please tell me 😭

(ignore the messy setup)

I've been noticing unusually high data consumption on my Tata Play Fiber connection, especially when downloading games.

Two recent examples:

• COD MW4: Downloaded ~73 GB, Tata Play reported an increase of ~170-180 GB.
• Phantom Blade (27 Oct): Downloaded ~138 GB, but consumption jumped from ~2,500 GB to 2,811 GB on the same day.

I checked the WAN statistics on my Nokia G-1426G-D ONT, which has been running for 17 days:

• Nokia WAN total: ~1.30 TB
• Tata Play app: ~2.81 TB

I understand these totals might cover different accounting periods, but the repeated spikes after downloads are concerning.

My PC is connected via Ethernet through an Archer AX10 in AP mode. I've also checked Windows network usage and LAN/WAN counters.

Has anyone else experienced inflated data usage with Tata Play Fiber or other Indian ISPs? Could this be double-counting, delayed reporting, or something I'm overlooking?

Would appreciate some technical insights before escalating this further.

Ideally for gaming and local ai development/ generation.

I want to know if there are other options to consider in terms of components.

Are the prices higher than the market?

My current Gigabyte 240 GB died within 3 years, ig due to frequent writes.

Prices are so random currently. But I tried to narrow down to two options which fits my budget.

PNY CS900 250GB

WD Green SATA 500GB

I am getting both for the same price. But WD doesn't specify its TBW. Since it has more storage it will likely have higher TBW?

I also had ADATA SU650 512GB but people at many places are saying it comes wil QLC NAND?

Please help me make a choice. Maybe it doesn't matter since all are entry level?

Telling this from virtually any game's experience

I have some extra money sitting around with me so I’m thinking of purchasing 2-3 consoles and rent it out. Is it a good idea to do this. I’m also considering opening a gaming cafe but not sure about how much that costs and what is the process of doing the same. Please do let me know your thoughts👽

I don't really use shotguns but this time I had to fight fire with fire

I have seen so much that western cartoons and animation have licensed games on pc and console anime also has licensed games and live action movies and tv shows from foreign countries have licensed games even indian movies have licensed game but why there is no licensed game based on indian cartoon for pc or console i only see hypercasual mobile game why not have licensed game for pc or console

Metroid Zero Mission (2004) is a metroidvania game like Hollow Knight of current times. Metroid is the OG pioneer of genre along side Castlevania.

Metroid ZM is a remaster of the original Metroid from NES (1986) but expands on it. I started playing Metroid Dread and in-between thought of trying it. It ended up being so engrossing that I left Dread gameplay in-between to finish this one. The puzzles, difficulty, powers all are so well done.

It is a punishingly hard game. I leveraged the save and rewind system of retroarch well and still it was quite hard. Can't imagine doing without it, even in 1986.

Highly recommend playing it with an emulator like retroarch with a game controller.

Right now its costing me approximately 3,50,000 with 4 years on site warranty and couple of accessories

10K cashback and 12months No cost EMI are over and above the price I stated
