    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    It really did feel just like Tribes Ascend with nothing new to it... played one round and uninstalled :(

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Fair point, I liked most of the single player campaign in prior versions but each had some very agitating parts.. and with limited game time now I wanted to play with my friends.

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Ah, I disable in game audio channels before ever playing :) Been doing that since before CS:S started tapering off. Much better experience without any of that in any game.

    Grand Theft Auto V

    I've heard a lot of good about it but I went online and never looked back lol. One of these days

    Grand Theft Auto V

    I have yet to play the single player campaign beyond what was required for it to let me go online lol. Should probably do that at some point.

    Sigh, another notch in the I need to upgrade punch card lol :(

    Do you generally prefer smaller phones or larger phones?

    I like a medium size. My 5T was a great size for me. Similar to my work S21 FE but it feels a little bit large, no complaints though. My personal phone is the S22 baby version. For typing its great one handed (I have larger hands) but can be a little tight at times. Screen size I'm more...

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

    That is true, movement seems a little janky at full speed and weird things happen that make everything look off.

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

    I don't sprint at full speed but I do run. Because I do have limited time and by time I get to the ship selection panel its been 10 to 15 minutes and after a crash or two I'm almost out of time to play so I need to get back there quickly if I hope to do anything.

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

    .1 was eh. I wandered around Orison as I had not been there yet. Soon as I got to spawning my ship usual crash lol. Will try .2 in a week or so if I have the time.

    Looks decent enough in the video.

    I want a new GPU for VR!

    I have the Reverb G2 on my 1080Ti. Limiting yes but I am surprised how much I can tweak the settings in some games to enjoy it and still have a decent looking experience.

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

    Yeah I like his quick runs. Especially if I am between real play periods in the game. Board Gamer is not bad as well but they are much longer and I find myself skipping through or just looking for Noob's succinct cuts lol.

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

    Indeed you may very well be correct on that. And in another 480 pages we can laugh about it. Though as another said they have no planned end just ongoing expansion. But will be be out of Alpha by then? :)

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

    I don't mind reading or seeing fresh criticism for the game... if it comes, and they have certainly earned just about all of it. But the same few always griping about the same things does get a bit old at almost 480 pages. There was even a second thread made to discuss the issues and...

    EKWB Lays Off 25% of Workforce, Blames Lower Watercooling Sales

    My upgrade cycle went to crap when parts prices went through the roof and were never available so I am snug with what I have for another 2 years likely. Maybe more. EK would have had some more referrals from me but they decided to downsize the aluminum line which had great performance at a...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    That sounds like someone thought about how not to tank the servers entirely on launch day.... Lol what a thought :o

    Half Life: Alyx

    I had fun finding the perfect little box for me to carry around grenades, ammo and HP packs in lol. Before I enter a room I set my little OCD box down, fight return, restock, resupply and carry it to the next area haha.

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

    Better than the mess it was so I'll give it a whirl once 3.18 is more "stable". Want to be able to actually go out to the boonies and explore but not have to return home when I log out. Persistence was very poor back then lol.

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

    Nice, awesome it works much better now than before. Prior you had to spawn one, fly it off then go spawn another and hope things were still there when you got back. Are you able to equip ships to the larger ones through mobiglass yet? The snub should spawn inside and with the Carrack so I...

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

    Indeed. Once they fix the initial failures of the next patch I'll jump back in for a while. Been since 3.11 I think since I last actually played. Been too busy. Looking forward to some cargo runs and mining. And some more exploring if I can get my snub, rover and Dragonfly in my Carrack...

    Quake Champions Official Thread

    Same, was fun as a mod and beta back when they actually had night maps like the larger train yard which is why NV goggles were in the buy menu lol. I really liked CS up to 1.3, after that it took a while to get used to the gimping in 1.5 but it was good. I hated 1.6. I remember valve demoing...

    It's official: Unreal is dead

    Quake Champions was very interesting at the start but the balance was not there. They tried to incorporate too much into it that removed the "skill" aspect of it. While I understand wanting to draw current audiences in through those things they are used to it just doesnt work in that style...

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

    Everything I own is playable. The only one I waited on was the Carrack but I was happy to wait getting it for a nice reduced rate on the gray market.

    Keeping a tablet charged when tethered?

    Slow charging sounds like either the port is not giving you the full gusto or the cable cant deliver the power. Port on the tablet could be an issue as well but sounds more like a lower quality cable giving you what it can so your usage drains more than it can charge up.

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

    In the interest of being fair, do you notice how every time anyone posts in the thread everyone who wants others to hate it as much as they do for some reason come out to all say the same thing they have said for hundreds of pages? :) If you can try it out during a free fly event to get your...

    Best or some of the best Android smartphone ?

    I would say everyone has crap support. I have not needed to use Samsungs support for a device problem but their billing (paying for devices and shipping what I paid for) is a bit of a headache. Google doesnt want to be bothered and their hardware can be hit or miss though good software...

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Air Traffic Control for tower (arrivals) and ground movements. Got some issues but it is a new iteration from their prior Tower!3D Pro but some improvements and potential. GR Wildlans was fun.

    HTPC - no more?

    I do it to back up what I paid for. It also gives me control over my media and I can enjoy it without needing the internet just in case that is offline for whatever reason. If I am on a business trip I can easily stream my content to me and keep going, including my mobile and transcode. If I...

    Who here is keeping their 3 series and skipping 4 series nV cards?

    Same. Mine is on water and I can push it to the power limit without any issues. If I had a spare card I would do a shunt mod or something to give it a bit more headroom but temps are never out of control and most games I play are at 5760 X 1200. Old 60hz screens as well until they die so long...

    HTPC - no more?

    I wouldnt call it inferior by any means to use the TV or a PC, each has positives and downsides but it depends on the user and use case. But as you are evidently locked in and rockin' in your camp (y)

    HTPC - no more?

    When I went to rebuild my HTPC I decided to go with a solid NUC. Minisforum and it is GREAT for my needs and beefy for the $350 price tag vs what I would have paid for a full new PC with similar specs. I decided I dont care about the optical drive. If I need one I have it on my maid desktop...
