    Mod problemas with Skyrim Anniversary Edition?

    Sounds like your question and particular situatuion is unique enough that asking questions of others is pointless. We dont know what mods you use, and its not likely a single other person out there has the same mod list. You wont get an answer that is 100%.

    Are CD Key sites like ENEBA/Kinguin a scam?

    If your patient, with games on Steam at least, there is more or less zero reason to ever go grey market. Just wait for a sale. Ive picked up 80% of my library for less than $10 - you just wait for the sales. Or you can choose to be impatient, go gray, and most likely nothing will happen. If...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    Im getting tired of the conflation of AI and Automated as well. This annoys me greatly. A food making robot is nothing special or new, nor does it contain any actual intelligence - just various sets of instructions that are, boiled down, based on complicated if/then/else statements, loop...

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    I decided to move over to a USB DAC last year - my recent motherboards have been short internal slots, this was a great decision. I picked up a FiiO E10K last Feb and have nothing bad to say about it. Absolutely solid output, I use the aux out on the back for my 2.0 speakers on the PC, have a...

    Pacific Drive

    I went ahead and pre-ordered yesterday, seems promising enough and is priced very reasonably.

    Cities Skylines 2

    The issue here is that you state it is unacceptable and beyond terrible, passing it off as unplayable on far better systems than mine. It is not unplayable, by a long shot, for the type of game it is. You can choose to base your opinion off of the one metric that literally doesnt matter in this...

    Cities Skylines 2

    Sorry, faded since I have HDR on, but I dont consider this unplayable in any way? It certainly is not bringing my system to its knees, since its running in windowed mode with wallpaper engine running around it, and a YT video on a second monitor.. 42 FPS in a city with 200k+ pop, all settings...

    2024 Game Drought?

    One of these threads comes up every year, No, there is not a "drought" - you just arent interested in what is coming. Every year, more and more titles are released than the year before. There will never be a lack of new games.

    Dave the Diver

    I did no looking into this game and bought it because quite a few friends who I share very similar gaming tastes with were enjoying it. Far more effort than I thought it would be, and I lost interest very very quickly. I dunno, didnt appeal to me in the least. Did maybe ~25 min of play...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    I absolutely share many of the same fears and it is something I have seen repeatedly with new backers. People dont do research into what the game is *intended* to be, and get angry as systems are implemented which improve complexity and slow gameplay down as it gets closer to the *intended*...

    Optimum speaker setup for PC gaming?

    I thought so as well, but on doing research, 5.1 documentation from Dolby and the like refers to the back left and right as "Surround left" "surround right". and 7.1 adds in "Rear surround left" and "Rear surround left" According to that, when you add 7.1, the 5.1 "Surround Left" and "Surround...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    But roleplaying isnt real content! STOP HAVING FUN! Just figured I would get in here ahead of the normal naysayers and get their arguments out of the way. I didnt know anyone was doing full on stuff like the cruises, but I knew it would be coming. Passenger and leisure/touring stuff is going...

    Optimum speaker setup for PC gaming?

    Just because sound comes out of the speakers does not mean it's in 5.1. You can pipe a mono source through 5.1, doesnt mean its surround. Very few games and programs on PC actually support 5.1 or higher natively - software and (In cases of nice recievers) hardware upmix and virtualize...

    Optimum speaker setup for PC gaming?

    2.1 is the ideal for maximum compatability and quality across all titles. People who have physical 4.1/5.1/7.1/etc are a *microscopic* amount of an already tiny market, and the bulk of people who have that do not have it for PC use, but for home theater. If you are looking for "best setup...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    I guess the game Ive been playing is all in my head, yeah? All those pixels I bought and get to use in that imaginary game also dont exist outside of my head? Damn, it was a nice dream until you came along and woke me up.

    Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th

    Because Plex only transcodes over local network / High enough upload speeds if you're an idiot and fail at life. Otherwise, you wouldnt be able to play your content remotely anyway as you cant upload fast enough for it to be seamless. When I play a 4k HDR 10 bit file, it plays at the same...

    True STALKER

    Im skeptical that the mod even uses the game files/requires any stalker installed at all - someone without the game installed should try to install it. The install is massive for stalker, and goes into its own directory. At no point does it ask for any information about other stalker installs or...

    Monitor menu popping up

    If I had to guess, your monitor is connected via HDMI? My guess would be somehow HDMI's CEC is sending commands from the GPU that your monitor interprets as the menu button. I dont know a solution, but thats the only possible way I can see this happening as CEC basically acts like a common...

    Half-Life 25th Anniversary

    You're slightly wrong... VGA is a resolution, an adapter card/gpu, and a connector type. They are all part of the original VGA integrated graphics chipset on the PS/2 before it was unloaded to external.

    Half-Life 25th Anniversary

    Software rendering is without a dedicated 3D capable and is a method old old old games used. VGA is one of the oldest standardized adapters, and the earliest versions of VGA were not available as separate add in cards, but built into the IBM PS/2 systems at first, one of the first "onboard"...

    Cities Skylines 2

    You misremember if you think the first has as much content, and as relatively smoothed out, at launch as the second does. There are many issues with Cities Skylines 2. Many many many issues. But a lack of content that is more and better than the original at launch is not one of them.

    WoW: 10th expansion; The War Within

    This will now be the first time I have skipped not one, but two expansions in WoW. I think the game is finally dead to me. Zero interest in WoW after all of the changes over the years, and while I enjoy classic and WOTLK, its not enough anymore to be worth the money. I only play it thinking...

    Cities Skylines 2

    When you are developing it based on the same engine and code, sure. This is a whole new game. Like it or not, it is impossible to be "the same". You're asking for something impossible. They DID implement TONS of improvements over the launch of the first CS, so again.... compare the product to...

    Cities Skylines 2

    One thing I want people to be cautious about when comparing 1 and 2 - CS1 is a fully fixed and released game, with dozens of DLC and years of additional effort put into tuning it. CS2 is a brand new ground up release. Its starting the same place CS1 did at launch. Compare the launch...

    Cities Skylines 2

    I dunno, 5800x, 128gb ddr4, and 4070, I dont have any issues playing it.... But I also dont watch the FPS because I dont care. Its smooth at max on 1440. Dunno the FPS.

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    If you didnt want to do multiplayer, you installed the wrong game as SC is all multiplayer.. There is an EAC installer in the SC folder after install, I dont remember which subfolder. If you're using HOTAS in a dedicated setup for SQ42 or SC, you will either have that mapped for walking...

    Thats nice, thanks for your observation. Nobody else in the history of this thread has made such an observation, oh man I must re-evaluate my entire life now. What have I done?!

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    Heres the thing..... against light or medium targets, you arent going to outdo the raw DPS, and most of those targets are not going to have armor thick enough for it to make a meaningful difference. The F8C is an anti-fighter heavy fighter - its not for hard hitting penetrating attacks on heavy...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    Thats far too much thought and care put by people into cosmetics. I imagined there would be an uproar from the people who got it with the high level concierge solely on the fact that it went from something only they had at the moment and others would have to earn down the line to everyone being...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    Buddy brought to my attention yesterday that there is the F8C event in game with some tickets randomly scattered in loot that give you a 1 day free rental and the opportunity to buy the ship on the store. I got home, *first thing I opened* had my F8C gold ticket in it! Went and traded it in...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    With SC, I feel you either go all or nothing - a minimum of two sticks, or stick to kb/m as they are incredibly well refined in this game for controls. Theres really no benefit to going a single stick or a stick/throttle over kb/m unless you just prefer to use them. For ease of play and what...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    Im pretty sure the Carrack cargo does not open at all when on the ship, even when fully functioning as intended. The three cargo bays are completely detachable and swappable module slots - you just drop the cargo bay to be filled up when that is functional. Until then, yeah, probably no chance...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    *shrug* Ive had two play sessions, yesterday late evening and today mid afternoon, both ~3-5 hours long... on the same server, with zero issues. It honestly surprised me a bit. Done a little bit here and there aside from these two, but most are 20-40min bursts lol Im not using the new stuff...

    Planetarian : Reverie of a Little Planet Its a VN and I dont think its available on steam anymore, but I have it on my old account. Cried like a bitch at points. Narcissu, same deal, except I think its on Steam still. I played it many years ago, so I have no memory of it.

    Strategy Guides for Games Future Press

    I remember having Prima guides for a few games I loved - Roller Coaster Tycoon is primarily the one I remember having. Had a couple others, but not many - I only bought them because I was super into the game or whatever.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Did you not play the original Stalkers on their releases? If the game didnt come out buggy and crashy and remain so for years, it would be like an Elder Scrolls game with fluid character walking instead of it looking like they have a stick up their rear - eg; not actually a stalker game.

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    Im not really sure what to tell you - as with most large open world, open ended games - there are quests you can do. Theres a few storylines around the verse that are 5-15 missions. The bulk of the gameplay is, and will always be, using the mechanics provided in the game to play out your own...
