Hello! I'm SirNinja and this is my userpage on PCGW. Unlike most wikis I edit, I tend to do quite a bit here, including creating pages, uploading "clean" cover images, and adding sections/fixes to pages in need. I have a 4K monitor and will be testing quite a few older games for compatibility.

Useful stuff

Things every PC gamer should have.

  • GameSave Manager (GSM). Easy way to back up saves for games both new and old. Works very well with:
  • Dropbox, or a similar data-syncing utility. Use GSM's Sync & Link feature to make symbolic links to Dropbox and, bam...auto-cloud saves for nearly any game.
  • Enhanced Steam. Adds so much useful stuff to Steam you'll wonder how you got by without it. Also lets you customize pages, getting rid of stuff you don't want (curator box, anyone?).
  • Steam Idle Master. Made by the same guy behind Enhanced Steam, this gets you every trading card you can possibly earn, as quickly as possible. You don't even have to have the games downloaded!


Also, because it blows at least one person's mind every time I post it: you can use the URL steam://checksysreqs/[AppID] to have Steam automatically check whether your PC meets the system requirements for any game. (Look at the end of a Steam game's store URL to find its AppID number.) Try steam://checksysreqs/17300 to answer an age-old question...
