I have yet to spend a penny and yet I have 3 steam games (one of them was a gift, kind of 2), and 4 games on Origin. :)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 31, 2014, 02:29 AMThe bright side of consoles being way behind PCs is that integrated graphics can keep up XD.

Looks amazing and plays well despite the fact that I'm still using integrated graphics. :P

I have civ 5, minecraft, the forest, antichamber, and kerbal space program.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 07, 2014, 02:02 AMYeah it looks very good on PC. Runs great too
I am stunned by how good Tomb Raider looks. I only played on a SDTV, so my higher resolution monitor makes a huge difference. :)
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 10, 2014, 03:32 PMI know what you mean. Always get distracted on the internet and stuffs
There's one thing I hate about PC gaming.
It's the fact that it is a PC.
On consoles I really just want to play games and if I want to look something up or whatever, I can just walk a few feet and go on my computer or just pick up my tablet.
On PC, I really want to play games, but its like there's so much distraction that I don't.
It makes no sense, I know. I hardly ever do.

Oh, TF is the same really. 48 hours free beginning when you start playing, I believe. So add it to your collection even if you don't download yet!

Origin won't go online!
Quote from: ethomaz on Aug 23, 2014, 02:38 AMIndeed. But can I start next month/year?
The 48 hours free to play start just when you play the first time... so you can start to download today and finish on monday and play 48 hours.

BTW people on GAF are reporting the game is dead... like take minutes or more to enter in a game... fudgy low community on PC.

Speaking of Origin.
I dont have a single game on Origin that I actually purchased. I have 16 games on Origin - some were part of humble bundle, some were part of the On the house deal and some were just extra redeemable steam keys.
Quote from: Pezus on Aug 29, 2014, 06:23 PMWhy?
I have like 4 or 5 Origin accounts. The main one has probably around 10 games if I include the on the house stuff, the others 1-2
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 29, 2014, 06:24 PMDue to them giving games a while back. They had a few to choose from but only 1 per account.

AC 3 sucks...Extremely boring in my opinion.
Sands of Time is an amazing game. Loved it back in the day on my PS2, and I recently replayed it on my PC as well.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Sep 21, 2014, 12:40 AM
I've completed only one...AC1.
Surprisingly, it was my most hated game (possibly most hated game EVER) and yet it was the only AC game I completed. I tried AC2/3/Black Flag and either Revelations or Brotherhood I don't remember which one exactly.
Quote from: BasilZero on Sep 21, 2014, 01:28 AMIt was too repetitive. The graphics part didn't bother me at all, it's just the entire game was go to a city, do some of the same boring mission to reveal your target in the city and go kill him. Rinse and repeat for literally the entire game. I mean I understand it's an "Assassin" game and you're supposed to kill people, but at least they should have had some better side missions or something so the game wouldn't feel so repetitive.
AC1 was.....OKish but I guess I would of been more impressed if I didnt play it in low settings (due to the fact that I didnt have a good GFX card when I first played it) - AC2 was fantastic! I'm playing AC Brotherhood now and loving it!

Quote from: BasilZero on Oct 01, 2014, 03:06 AM8/10 for me. Story was pretty good but the game itself was very boring to play. I love a good story in my single player games but I also want the game to be fun to play because to be honest that is what pushes me to continue playing a game to the finish. If a games not fun I just won't bother.
I agree - it shouldnt be Game of the Year - it should be Story of the Year though :P

So are you telling me I should not play Darksiders 2 at all? If so you should know my answer to that...
Its still Halloween themed for me :o - I dont care about the environment design of the game - I'm talking in terms of the theme of the game, cast, etc.
(I already played Medieval on PSP - didnt like it as much.)

Honestly Darksiders 2 is a pretty bad game. Though, I'm not sure how you equate giant dwarves with Halloween...
About Medievil:

Quote from: Riderz1337 on Nov 05, 2014, 04:56 PMIndeed. You can download almost any of my games to your PC as long as I authorize your PC (which can be done remotely if I just give you a temporary password to access my account on your PC). The only "catch" is that only one person can play a game in my library at the same time. It's not really a catch in my case though since I don't play very often.

8 games and slow internet.
The Witcher - steam sale 2$

Fallout 3 GOTY - SS 6.79$
Fallout New Vegas - SS 6.79$
Bioshock - Steam-ish Sale 5$
Bioshock 2 -Steam-ish sale 5$
Bioshock Infinite - Steam-ish sale 7.50$
Far Cry 3 - sale because of my Far Cry 4 voucher 10$
Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 07, 2014, 04:03 AMBecause if I decided that I wanted to play a game one day, I'd have to wait at least a full day. So I have it all downloaded.
No I mean why you download all of them at the same time o.O.
I usually download a game - play/finish it then back it up game and save file to my external HDD - delete the game on PC but keep the save file - rinse and repeat with another game ;o.
Although I do keep a few games such as Left 4 Dead 2, CSGO, etc.
Those are some great games! Play bioshock 1 - its good ;)

Looks like the Ubisoft games are back on Steam :OO
Quote from: Raven on Nov 08, 2014, 04:00 PM
I think that considering no one uses Uplay because it's garbage that they need to go on a big marketing campaign and improve the service before they even consider moving away from Steam. Though I can imagine that they may very well lose a lot of sales even then because of how popular Steam is. It could also hurt Steam, though. They already lost EA titles after Origin came out. If any more big publishers pursue their own thing it could be bad news for Valve.
Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 08, 2014, 05:58 PM
Probably a mistake or a change of heart?
Actually each time you play a ubisoft game that came out after 2009 - you are automatically using uPlay due to the fact that the DRM requires you to log in before you are able save or even play the game. Its much more forcing than GFWL where it just prevents you from saving a game but still play the game.
Quote from: Raven on Nov 08, 2014, 06:01 PM
Haha. Goes to show what games I haven't been playing on Steam since then. I'm still not sure who it would be worse for. Ubisoft or Valve.
Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 08, 2014, 06:24 PM
In terms of how the games are operating? I would say neither - the end user is the one who has it worse since they need both uPlay and Steam to be on to play one single game......
Quote from: Raven on Nov 08, 2014, 07:44 PM
I mean in regards to which company would take the bigger hit from it. Would it be Ubisoft for making their games digitally available only through their own Uplay service, which no one seems to like, or Valve for no longer be able to offer Ubisoft titles?

Low settings with edge AA made Kingdom Hearts unplayable.

This is my third computer.
First one, I got in 2008 or so, was running a Pentium 4. Wasn't even able to run Age of Empires 3. But I did play Age of Empires 2.
Second one, I got a year ago or maybe 2 now, CPU was much better.
It was a Athlon X2 6000+/Radeon HD 4200.
Age of Empires 3 yes, but any game newer than 2008 or so was a no no.
So my first 2 computers I got from family members and were outdated by quite a bit.
This year I decided I was going to build my own.
-Intel i5-4690, 8 GB Ram
Got that far about 3 months ago, finally got a good GPU.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Nov 25, 2014, 05:25 PMThe CPU on the consoles are not the best. AMD CPUs are like half an intel CPU. I think the numbers I see are like 60%; plus the CPU is clocked very low compared to most new PCs. Newer PCs might have a CPU that runs some 3 or 4 GHz. Mine is 3.5. Whereas the consoles are 1.6, and 1.75.
I was thinking with all the future games coming out being built with 8 core in mind for the consoles that quad cores would be almost pointless in a years time.

Why 1600? and not something higher?

I think next march will be when the new/final dev kit is set to be revealed. I know I'll be getting one at least.
Would have got one sooner but I only have a laptop that I could play on right now. It runs games great, but that's at 900p(native screen size) 30fps. 1080p 75fps would kill the game visuals.

Okay, So i just got my computer parts in the mail. I wanted to set them up tonight and see if i could get it to post. but the problem is i had to separate the heat sink from the cpu and i forgot to buy more thermal paste, Now it still has the factory thermal past on the cpu but it isn't perfect. Do you think i'd be okay to turn it on to set up the bios till i get thermal paste?

My laptop's hard drive is only 750GB which filled up fast with all the work I do. I've been using an external 1TB hard drive to augment it.
For this new PC I'll be moving over the external 1TB hard drive and making it internal so that I have 3TBs of hard drive space, which should last me at least until VizionEck releases hahaha.

I'm needing a new work PC.
CPU is most important for me, as well as SSD and what nots that make programs and applications run faster. Having a good GPU would be nice but it's not too important to me.
Here's just my general thoughts right now: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9PCHQ7
Now to go through and trim the fat!!!
CPU stays, but what else can I cut corners on or find better deals to bring down the price? I feel investing in a good PSU is important since this computer will be on 20 hours a day. All savings from efficiency are worth it. Case wise it just needs to be functional. Don't have any care about looks.
Do care about sound though. Anything to make it silenter is worth investing in imo.
You guys have any input?

I'd get this hard drive.
Would you be able to skip the GPU for a while at least? The CPU has an integrated GPU, not great, but it does okay.
Otherwise you could look into getting the GTX 960.
I've got the same case. :D
Quote from: Legend on Jan 28, 2015, 09:51 PMI actually got that same HDD too.
Nice hard drive find!
What would be the advantage of skipping the GPU for a while? Are prices expected to significantly drop soon? Yeah a 960 would be a pretty viable option.
How do you like the case? Are the fans too fast and loud by default? Can they be controlled? Any issues fitting your 970 in it? Which 970 do you have?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 28, 2015, 10:58 PM
CPU - you said keep it.
Motherboard - probably cheaper options, but quality would be questionable.
RAM - probably your cheapest option.
SSD - you said keep it
HDD - 99$ 3 TB. Keep it!
Video Card - I recommend the 970, but if cost is an issue the 960 or even the 750 TI ought to be good depending on your needs.
Case - cheaper options are available, will probably lose the amount of included fans though.
Power Supply - recommend not going cheap on this part. Probably the sweet spot for price/reliability.
Optical Drive - can you take one off a different computer?
Quote from: Legend on Jan 29, 2015, 12:31 AMCPU- Sweet!
Yeah the CPU I can get at my local microcenter for only $280 so it's a great deal too.
Motherboard could probably be cheaper yeah. I found one for $40 lol.
RAM-Neverdies is either crazy or crazy lucky. I was telling him about my ram and he called it "really overpriced." Apparently 2 years ago when he made his PC 8GB of similar quality ram was only $45.
SSD-I can go for another one, probably smaller too. I just need a SSD in general and this one seems pretty good.
HDD-YES!
Video Card-I'm thinking 970. It can be the part of the system that I splurge on for personal reasons :)
Case-yeah
PS-agreed
OD-I throw out all my old computers and such. Hording runs in my family so I try to avoid it any way possible.
I'm feeling pretty good about it overall though. Got the price down considerably compared to where I started.

I went to pcpartpicker and it is so intimidating because theres hundreds of builds around the same price and I have no idea which one would be the best
I know now I will need at least one thousand two hundred dollars canadian to build a good PC sorry for not using numbers my keyboard is so iced up right now
I want to make one that is a little big future proof as im sure i can get one now for like seven hundred or eight but i want it to last for a while plus i want to play all the latest games on high settings sixty fps
I guess Ill wait till next holiday probably by then they will have a ton of price drops because right now twelve hundred is a bit much and it sucks that the canadian dollar is messed up in comparison to the american dollar everything is so much more expensive now

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 30, 2015, 04:20 AMOnly thing I really need is OS Mouse and Keyboard
Like Legend said. The CPUs come with fans. Very rare that they don't. I haven't had any issues with the included fan.
Mouse, keyboard, monitor, the optical drive, network card and speakers I already had.
Mouse, Keyboard can be gotten pretty cheap 20-40$.
Monitor is going to be somewhat expensive depending on size/resolution. And you could use your TV.
Optical drive maybe 20$.
Network card, difficult to find, but may be able to find one for 20$.
Speakers, 20$ maybe more for better quality. Less if you know where to look. If you're using your TV, not an issue.
As for the OS, that'll probably be the most expensive thing, barring a new monitor.
Keep in mind those are US prices.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Jan 30, 2015, 04:18 AMPersonally no. I don't like to mess with stuff. Not a lot of benefit from it, in my opinion.

Quote from: Riderz1337 on Jan 30, 2015, 04:24 AMOS would cost you probably 80$.
Only thing I really need is OS Mouse and Keyboard
I just recently bought a new thirty two inch TV that may be a bit big but later on down the line I will get a monitor in the twenty inches area they dont usually cost as much as a TV
Also I would have to get a headset now lol after using the ps gold headsets i just cant go back to using the speakers on my TV
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Jan 30, 2015, 03:59 AMThere's really no way around that. We're just lucky PC games are console ports. That delayed things. Like I got myself a Geforce 3 back in the day. It lasted me a year before I had to replace it. It was top of the line when I got it. Like I didn't replace it cause I was in school and switched to laptops for a few years. I built my machine about two years ago with a gtx 560Ti. It's lasted me till now, a little longer than my Geforce 3 did. But that's because I don't game at 1080p on my PC and console ports have been holding PCs back. Though I can run Crysis 3 at max settings at 720p and it's fluid. The situation would be no different if I had a gtx 590. That card shows up at minimum specs now. I'd still have to replace it now either way. Mid-range is always the best option. Always think now when building computers.
I just mean I want to get something that I will not have to replace in the near future
I do not want to get a mid end GPU right now and then have to replace it in a couple of months
I would rather get something a little more high end so that even in the near future I probably would not have to worry whether or not my pc could run a game
Quote from: Pezus on Jan 30, 2015, 03:38 PMYou do realize the 560 stopped showing up as minimum spec? For any cross gen game, it's still useful, but it won't run Unity. Hell it has trouble running Watchdogs at medium settings at 720p.
560Ti is definitely not obsolete yet. It still runs games at medium to very high (depending on game) at 1680*1050 or 1080p.

Quote from: Legend on Jan 30, 2015, 05:28 PMYeah, with a 970 even, you can't get a 60 fps average on Unity when playing at Medium settings.
Lol never use Ubisoft games aa a benchmark. Specifically Unity runs bad on any system.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 30, 2015, 05:28 PMI lied about when I got it :P. I forgot how long its been since I stopped making apps. I got it June/July 2011.
The 560 TI came out in 2011. So 2 years before you had it. It was barely high end when it came out.
The 560 TI is what Watch Dogs recommends, either software issues or maybe somewhere else you have a bottleneck.
The 590 is about the same as the GTX 670 though, so something to keep in mind.

Quote from: Legend on Feb 03, 2015, 05:14 PMYeah I have and it's not jumping with the lag :/. Kind of weird. I think I'll just ride along for now and see if it fixes itself by tomorrow lol
Have you tracked the cpu during these spikes? Is it jumping to 100% or doing anything strange?
With google I couldn't find anything like that.
Quote from: Pezus on Feb 03, 2015, 05:01 PMNever had that issue.

Found a perfect and cheap case at microcenter, but they were out of stock. So I went with last year's version of the case. Lost a usb 3.0 port but saved $5. Case ended up having a window in it so I guess that's nice.
Right now I'm putting in the dvd drive plus storage, then on wednesday I'll get the psu+ram+mobo so I can finish it up.

Might be the power cable.

Bad idea, in my opinion.
The GTX 970 will be good enough to run the OR at pretty good levels, it may require turning down some settings, but that's better than SLI.
SLI is getting better, but it often has issues with stutter, and stutter is the death of good VR.

Well SLI is getting or has already gotten an update to the way it works for VR. Basically one card will run each eye.

A tweet from the oscars last year was so popular that it caused twitter to crash. Then that caused it to kinda be a saying for meaning something's so popular that it crashes the website. Then kim kardashean made it a common phrase by having it on the cover of her magazene photo. Since then I've seen tons of things saying it.
What's annoying about it is that people don't say it as an exageration. They litteeally think kim's butt broke the internet for a bit.

Well i had my wife do a test, it's running about 35/6 today. But now I should get 100/10 with the upgrade.. I'll have to call them after work. I despise call service. They act like you don't know what your doing and have you do all the same shame you've already tried before calling.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Feb 21, 2015, 01:17 PMI can be wrong. I just remember port forwarding was to give you wired like connection speeds.
I'm not saying your wrong, as it does make sense. But it help a lot with my old router. It was doing 12 down and after portfowarding it was doing 40.
This new router tho... Portfowarding does noting, Dmz does nothing, shutting off the firewall does nothing.
I have a tech coming out today. He better have a few routers with him cause he isn't leaving till its fixed.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Feb 21, 2015, 01:21 PMI thought port forwarding was to bypass security checks or to have better connection to services like VOIP, I'm sure a lot of people that are HxC PC gamers are hard wired and utilize port forwarding. I remember setting up port forwarding for Dust514 on PS3 for the game itself as well as VOIP for that game separately and it did improve those connections.

What Basil said, it is an enhanced version of the old game. So Steam and Twitch support among other bonuses.

Space engineers sucks. Might be a good game, but the tutorial is non existent. Once I figured out kinda how to do things, it was just boring.
Then I got inside a huge ship and it was awesome! Then I piloted the ship and it sucked. I'd rate it a 6 on my scale.

I'm referencing this postSpoiler for Image:
Why did you mention MineCraft as an example when we were talking about Early Access :O
I'm just saying I dont like MineCraft so using it as an example as a game that I potentially like is wrong because I dont like it to begin with :O - in other words there are no games that I like that were Early Access on Steam and playable before their actual release - that is what I meant :o
Again like I said before - I rather wait for the full actual release and not play an early access/beta game. Play it for a few minutes or so to see how it is but long term no.
StarBound was released to be able to play like 2 years ago or so? I've played it then and havent touched it since.

Purchase Bioshock 1 on Steam - get Bioshock 1 for iOS/Android as well.
Dont have to share files or anything.
Just a nice feature that will never happen cause companies want to nab that $15 and Google/Apple will have a hissy fit if people get games that can be played on their platform that easily ;p.

Quote from: BasilZero on Mar 07, 2015, 05:07 AMI honestly don't think there will be consequences. People on PC will probably stay on steam and xbox players will probably stay on xbox.

This works until I unplug my headphones, when the laptop still tries to play through the headphones (which are no longer plugged in) instead of switching to the speakers. I have to set speakers back as the default device for it to work. Any way I can make it so it switches automatically?
Oh and I've just noticed that it doesn't even recognise the microphone part of the headset
Quote from: BasilZero on Mar 07, 2015, 08:58 PMNo its with everything. I've been through all that and nothing works.
It should automatically o.O.
Is it overall sound that is affected or by a certain program? If its program, I know like Axon I use I had to relog in order to get sound through my headset.
If not - did you try control -> Sound settings -> recording tab? I remember having to fiddle in there once before to get sound working once :x. You might have to disable something or enable something.

Vive looks good, but in an alien way.

Well i got a gaming keyboard, it's mechanical and I love it. And it's heavy enough to knock someone out. I also got a Bluetooth adapter so i can pass sound to my sound bar. And a flight stick that i though i could use with war thunder, which it wont so i might be taking it back.
I'm afraid i wont be able to actually game on this living in this apartment. Having the computer and ps4 on at the same time with nothing running kicked the breaker. I really don't know what i can do about that... Which sucks.
Quote from: Legend on Mar 10, 2015, 01:35 AM
How does the breaker work for your apartment? Is it just one circuit for the whole thing?
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Mar 10, 2015, 01:59 AM
So i think i might have a bad breaker, it's got to be. I have a 850 watt power supply, that isn't running full load either and it's tripping the 15 amp breaker and that should be 1400 watts before it trips.
Quote from: Legend on Mar 10, 2015, 03:14 AM

However the projector and stuff are on the same circuit right?

I got H1Z1 for my birthday.
Visually, some things look awesome. Other things look terrible.
Controls have been a pain. For some reason 95% of the time, (that number is actually too low) most of the controls don't want to respond. I'm not sure if that's because I set it up for the controller or the game or something else. I've been sitting here watching my character crawling away from a zombie for the past ten min. I think part of that is that the sensitivity is too high, but I can't stand up, except one time I got lucky and he did what I wanted. Punching worked the first time, but its not working right now.
First time I was stuck under a tree crouching only able to turn the camera and punch. Tried the keyboard and the controller didn't let me stand up or walk away. :P

The OS is still marked non-genuine. The pirates will get the required updates, but they won't get any of the special optional updates or features. They think that they'll convince them and they'll see the benefits of a genuine copy and move to getting it. (Or so they say).

How it been going in game for you?
Quote from: Legend on Apr 18, 2015, 07:34 PM
Good at trading, bad at everything else haha. I spent a bunch of credits on a fighting ship and some nice guns, only to find out that I didn't have enough energy to power it. When I pulled out my guns, life support and other systems would fail. So with only a few credits to my name, I went back to trading. After building up like 15 grand, I outfitted my ship with a mining laser and refinery so that I could try mining. Took a long time to get anything usable, and the money was pitiful compared to what I'd get from contracts and trading. So I switched back to contract work.
Then like an hour ago I decided to go all out with trading and not bother with contracts. I sold all my mining equipment and weapons, then got a total of 12 cargo spaces and a better warp drive. Since then pretty easily I've made it up to like 80 thousand credits!
HBU?

Found some gold and it wont let me hold it now. Really wish the game wasn't so sand box and gave you a starting path to make it more fun. Maybe star citizen will be better.
I have no Idea how the xbox fan base it going to take this game. I don't think they'll like it much. looking at the games that do sell on xbox and this.. It doesn't stand a chance to do well.

I think I really just want to learn something new and apply myself in new areas.I think if I liked coding enough I would start to create a game(probably nothing profressional, but just my own side-project). That would probably require languages like C++ though. For now I just want to learn something that's good for beginners and to see if I really like coding.

Hmm... you bring up some good points! Maybe they should all get 33.3%? IDK. I just don't think sitting on the ip is worth 45%(most) of the revenue. They already got their sale from the game. One could argue it's 100% the modders labor that's on sale. One could also argue the modder couldn't sell it without the game exisiting. One could argue this is only possible through steam invention of the program. I think all getting 33.3% sounds very fair. Also on the 25% is better than 0 thing. The same could be said for bethesda since they couldn't profit from this before. If my previous comment or this one sounds too aggressive I apologize since that is not my intention.

When money is involved, community policement doesn't work. Piracy in the form of paid mods being re-uploaded as free will get low scores but still exist none the less.
Also, Steam's refund policy that bans you from using the Steam Community Market for 7 days has been expanded to include refunding mods purchased from the Steam Workshop (http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/33zsp0/steams_refund_policy_that_bans_you_from_using_the/)

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on May 05, 2015, 03:07 AM
It's unplayable, I went into a game of elite which the internet told me works very well with SLI in the hanger i was getting 14 fps. WTF? I was getting a sold 50 before that. The stutter is like taking 3 or more transpires of the same photo and spreading them apart slightly and it fights back and forth. So i thought maybe it was hitting the wall of my projector, so i cranked Mufti sampling to 4 times native resolution which i think is 4k and still the same shame. BTW, I guess it wont be the projector because I've seen the FPS counter display 400 and no such stutter. If i can't come up with a solution by weeks end i'll just return the card and forget about it.

Technically yes, but pretty much no.
In most cases a 3rd party steals credit cards and buys steam keys. They then sell the keys to these resellers. The resellers like cdkeys have protection since they can claim they don't know where the keys come from.
I certainly wouldn't trust any of them, especially since every once in a while Steam tracks the stolen credit cards and deactivates the keys.

So I plugged in my old plasma just to see, It's only 720 so i ran 4x native resolution and was getting an average of 95 FPS with everything all the way up to the max. I'll run a test here in a bit with one card. It seems i'll be able to run VR @ 1440 75fps? But i have a another question, One cpu is running about 65 C while the other is running 75c. What temps are you guys seeing when running your cards and whats the breaking point? Should i look into some cooling?

Biggest thing is that you've got 2 big GPUs sitting next to each other.

-the second one isn't getting as much air as the first one. So it gets even hotter.

Okay, So I did a few benchmarks on War thunder For Sli, I was starting to get pissed because at 1080 I was getting worst performance in SLI than on a single card.
But then I deiced what the heck. I'll run it at 4k. The game maxed out averaged 45 FPS with a low average of 30ish, And with SLI 75 FPS with a low of 60. Not bad, I could probably turn off most anti aliasing and get even more FPS as it wont be needed in 4k Down sampled.
It's weird that it produced a gain at 4k, but a loss at 1080.
Ran the test again with anti aliasing off with a high average of 89 and a low average of 65. A decent gain.

Maybe try over clocking first. Don't want to push you into getting a new CPU when you might not need one. Especially if the issue lies elsewhere.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on May 16, 2015, 07:55 PMWhy wouldn't you have it on then? Looks much better
That is max, Uber sample off. Only change. I think with it on I was getting 100 fps or something.

Anyone know when DDR 4 is coming out?
Quote from: darkknightkryta on May 17, 2015, 06:59 PM
I guess I should have asked about the mobo first.
Though those prices aren't bad. I think I spent 120 on my DDR 3 ram 4 years ago. I was thinking of making a new PC. Though I was thinking of making it at Christmas time. I was thinking of going mini-itx. Then replacing the desktop upstairs with my old one.

Quote from: BasilZero on May 17, 2015, 11:58 PMYou know I impulsively bought Valkyria Chronicles without even realizing it.
Dayum, VC and Killer is Dead are the titles I am interested in - the rest I either have or no interest.
VC was $5.99 if I remember right few days ago but that Killer is Dead price is tempting but I'll buy it later.

Getting a 1080p monitor.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on May 22, 2015, 06:14 PMHave my PC set up to a gigantic TV and a little monitor.
What do you game one now?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 22, 2015, 06:19 PM
Have my PC set up to a gigantic TV and a little monitor.
To play games I need the TV set as primary, but that means turning the TV on and logging in that way.
So I'm getting a 1080p monitor so I can clone displays.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 23, 2015, 07:44 PM
Three issues I have with gaming on PC.
Monitor - would be nice to use TV at times and monitor at others. But this is getting fixed.
Speaker - same as above.
Controller
Would be nice if everything got set up for me automatically.
Monitor should be good.
Thinking of setting up a few batch files or something that starts up at the same time as steam to set the appropriate settings. But it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to do that. :P
Quote from: BasilZero on May 23, 2015, 07:48 PMI can already do what?
o.O
You can already do that though o.O
My only issue with PC gaming is that some games are exclusive to other platforms (i.e. ME3, etc on Origin).
Other than that I have no other issues with PC gaming.

You answered your own question in your 2nd post lol.
Also I use the xbox 360 controller since its the only wired one I can find :o
Plus I dont have to do anything extra or special so I'm fine with it. I may use the DS4 in the future but at this point I might as well not lol.

Quote from: Legend on May 23, 2015, 11:13 PMThis'd be a good idea.
Or write a program that swaps screens without telling windows. Then have that automatically launch on select games.
Well at least this would be the cheaper option...
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 26, 2015, 08:41 PM
Made some great progress with what I want to do today. :D
-Did some digging, there is a controller set up already there, just have to set it up.
-Monitor came today, already set up.
-Sound is another matter, but very easy.
So close to a console like set up! :D

Not doing anything with the OS.
But Steam's big picture mode is basically made for controllers. For me, it's close enough. :)

What monitor did you get? I'm trying to decide what to buy right now. So many choices..
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on May 27, 2015, 12:23 AMNo idea.
http://www.amazon.com/PB278Q-27-Inch-LED-lit-Professional-Graphics/dp/B009C3M7H0?tag=bestmonitors04-20
I'm thinking about getting this one. I can get http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-28-Inch-Definition-Monitor-U28D590D/dp/B00IEZGWI2?tag=bestmonitors04-20 this one for just 50 more but even running two cards will be difficult to keep up with 4k 60
I was also thinking about running 3 monitors but of course it would only be 1080, Not sure if i could get away with running 3 monitors higher than that, plus i could get all 3 for the price of the two listed above.
what do you guy feel is the better set up.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on May 27, 2015, 02:11 AM

And dat bazooka!
Has good sounding gameplay, a great IP that can easily outclass Minecraft as far as third party support, and is a clone of a clone of itself.
Will it overtake Minecraft? Heck no(unless Microsoft screws up), but it'll finally give Minecraft competition.

I ask a lot of questions mainly about DLC since I'm still kinda new to the whole DLC thing ;p

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jun 08, 2015, 03:35 AMThe problem is many games don't hold my attention for more than two hours . so 90 percent of the games I buy I could have refunded. Once this spreads to steams profits they'll quickly dump the system .Well, your attention span actually won't pose a problem. The current policy states that you can get your refund if you do it within 14 days of purchase or spent less than 2 hours of total playing time.

For placement you rotate the camera by holding the right click and moving the mouse. Scroll to move up and down I think I remember. Use wasd to rotate parts.
ive been doing sandbox to try and learn all the basics. making massive rockets and such lol im great and building rockets that can get WELL past escape velocity, but havent really figured out stearing lol my probe will also be my first ion drive
this game is insanely addicting ..

To make great rockets you really should use asparagus fueling. Have lots of engines and lots of fuel tanks per engine. Start off with all engines being on, but all fuel is coming out of two tanks. Then when the tanks empty you drop them and their engines.

Quote from: Legend on Jun 20, 2015, 03:24 AMyupOne last question. If I warp it blows up and if I revert to launch not all my parts are in the rigjt place or connected. Is that because my cpu cant handle it so some stuff gets dropped? Lol when I launch at normal speed 1 ingane second takes about 3 real lol

I wish i could connect my wheel but the stupid clamp it came with wont work on this desk. I'll have to figure something out with it. And i think i'm missing a cord. I have to find that too.Yes 1440p is noticeably better. :)
is 2560x1440 a noticeable improvement over 1080?
No one wants to answer this question :(

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jun 22, 2015, 09:44 PMI've come to the conclusion the nividia's drivers are also shame. So i guess i made the mistake up leaving my monitors in extend mode last night and letting the computer go to sleep. Come home today, try to turn it on and no video on the screens. So after fiddling around a bit i left on hdmi unplugged and got video on one screen, made sure extend was off and plug the hdmi back in and it shut off both screens, tried again on the second gpu. Same thing. So I then used windows tool to set everything up and it's all back to normal.Nvidia drivers sometimes make me scratch my head. I had problems with the GPU recognizing my older TV with sound all of a sudden when it had worked for months before that.

That's weird.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 03, 2015, 02:24 AMI think I want to make Don't Starve Zelda. I keep thinking of ideas and I think I've locked down the art style. It's going to be very different from those two games. But still share from them as well. You can follow the story path or survive and build even both. I was thinking you could start out as a preteen, sent out one you own. With every year that passes you'll grow. Some things will only be able to be done once you're old enough and strong enough. I've got a lot of ideas so far, but they are so jumbled it might not come out right if i tried to explain it all to you guys.Would you play as zelda or link?
Quote from: Legend on Jul 03, 2015, 01:13 PMWould you play as zelda or link?
Also yeah that'd be awesome if you got your indie game made!
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 03, 2015, 05:19 PMIt all depends on how your are sent out on your own. If it's a hero's quest then I'll most likely force a male character. If it's something like your village get attacked and you're the only survivor then there will be a choice of gender. I was leaning towards the first.Why does the hero need to be a male?
Quote from: Legend on Jul 03, 2015, 05:21 PMWhy does the hero need to be a male?Time period. Some Indian tribes would send their males out on a quest once they reached a certain age.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 03, 2015, 05:24 PMTime period. Some Indian tribes would send their males out on a quest once they reached a certain age.Oh gotcha. So you have a setting and everything figured out?
Quote from: Legend on Jul 03, 2015, 05:34 PMOh gotcha. So you have a setting and everything figured out?Yeah, pretty much. before guns. So your main tools would be an axe, bow, spear and a sling shot. I haven't deiced about a sword yet. I thought about having one in the game. But it being super hard to find.

Gezz. I'm going to have to stop crop in flickr . It make it really blury. Looks much better on my screen.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 04, 2015, 06:01 AMThanks, Now to get it over to blender! Which i have to relearn what I did know. But that's okay. This is going to be a more advance bow. I figure the starter ones will look more like a branch and will have very low power. I'm thinking this is something you'll be able to build during you teenage years.Is it a 2d bow or a 3d bow?
Quote from: Legend on Jul 04, 2015, 04:24 PMIs it a 2d bow or a 3d bow?Well it's a drawing. So right now it's 2d.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 04, 2015, 04:28 PMWell it's a drawing. So right now it's 2d.But in blender you're going to remake it in 3D?

Quote from: Legend on Jul 04, 2015, 07:33 PMYes it is!I think blender is much better. At least right now. Plus I can't find any good beginners tutorials. Everyone expects you to have some knowledge. Even when clicking on videos with 101 or basics in the title.
So is blender though lol

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 05, 2015, 03:58 AMDat double quote. :PYou could also have the owl send messages/go on quests!
Both, I think of him as you're watcher while you're young. And as you grow older you can tame him and have him hunt small prey and fish for you. Maybe even help out in attacks you might not survive or run away from if something wasn't there to get in the way.
I'm thinking running into other humans will be rare. You main dangers will be animals in the wild.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 05, 2015, 04:29 AMCould scout out areas in advance as the owl. You know, kinda like watchdogs with the cameras. Set up a strategy and then go for the kill.Gamey, I don't want to do realistic, one I'll be lucky to make it at all, and realistic is getting boring. So much of the same. It's like people are afraid to do something different. But it will be hard. Take killing a deer for as an example. You won't have a cross hair to tell you where the arrow will go, you'll just have to know how it Flys and where it will land from experience. Plus getting ylto close will make it run off before you can even line up your shot.
Are you going for a realistic game, or a gamey game?

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 07, 2015, 01:13 AMdang it. So I was building my 3rd person game from scratch. Followed everything to the T. What happend when I went to test it?Welcome to the world of unskilled debugging!
Well AWSD all acted like the same function. After about an hour checking and double checking I said fudge it. Closed it down opened the pre made 3rd person Blueprint and everything is the the same. I can't find a single difference. I actually believe this is the blue print he builds in the videos. And I know this because he set some stupid high jump and it is still present in the 3rd person blueprint. Anyway, I'll just go off the pre made like I had planned all a long. I really wish I could figure it out though. It's just not worth the frustration, because I'm sure later down the road I'll want to Hulk smash my PC.
I did learn some, so it wasn't all lost.
I already got the Speed and jump and stuff set the way I think I want it for now. Took All of 10 mins.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 07, 2015, 06:20 PMSo I figured out how to import models from blender to UE4.Don't do it, unless you're only using it as a placeholder.
How do you guys feels about using other peoples models in your game?
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 07, 2015, 06:24 PMAnyone going windows 10 day one?Probably not day one. Will wait to see how compatible it is with my dev programs.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 07, 2015, 06:24 PMAnyone going windows 10 day one?Not day one. I'll read other people's impressions on it before I decide.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 07, 2015, 06:34 PMDon't do it, unless you're only using it as a placeholder.Well I didn't want to use anyone's finished models. As they don't match what I want to do artistically. But for example I found a low Polly horse that needs more work. So texturing and and rigging. By the time I'm done with it it it will basically be mine as it wont resemble the original work at all. And the license said I just have to add his name to the credits.
Even free games have to follow copyright laws.
If you can make sure the models are open source or have licensing allowing it, then even still I think it's best to not use them. You want your game to be one of a kind.
Quote from: Aura7541 on Jul 07, 2015, 06:45 PMNot day one. I'll read other people's impressions on it before I decide.I went ahead and reserved my copy. It will download to your PC and you can choose when you want to install it. I'm on windows 8 and while I've gotten use to it I can't help but to feel that windows 10 will be better no matter what.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 12, 2015, 04:19 PMGreat, I'm now scanning my computer for viruses. I got an email from my internet provider that claimed one or more computer behind my fire wall is infected with a Zeus Trojan. I don't visit any weird sites on this pc. So i'm guessing i got it from VGC, if my pc is the one that has it. Close to 20,000 files scanned right now and it hasn't found one yet.Use trendmicro for an online scan or use Avast. Avast has a pre-windows scan. Makes it better to find virus' who hide from virus scanners.

From the sounds that my pc is making right now it looks like I need to look into a better cooling system.
Correction, 70 fps and I gain 15 to 20 fps every time I drop down a graphics preset.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 19, 2015, 03:34 PMThe SSD upgrade seems to have cut my boot time in half. About 20 seconds till I can enter my password for windows. My MB bios takes longer to do it's thing than it does to load windows now.Sweet.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 19, 2015, 03:44 PMSweet.yeah, but it seems I can't actually use anything on the old drive. So I got to figure that out. I may have to nuke it i'm not sure. Like I want to run the latest games off the ssd and the old ones off the standard drive. I can't seem to be able to do that right now.
So you have it all working?

Not sure if there's a way to shorten that in the bios set up.Makes sense. Program installations usually can't be copied from one computer to another, so I guess that's the root of the problem.
Yeah it seems I will have reformat. It's counting that as a different computer and that's why I can't run anything off that drive currently.

I have my windows set to skip login, and it took about 20s from clicking the button to being back in chrome.
How fast does yours manage it?
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 19, 2015, 05:25 PMSo I disabled password and login. IT's 20 seconds from cold to desktop.Yeah since that's what I get, it sounds fine to me haha.
And skipped the bios logo, didn't change much.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 19, 2015, 05:45 PMYeah since that's what I get, it sounds fine to me haha.I'd like to know the Doctor's cold boot time if he thinks 20 seconds is bad. I mean that's faster than any console or phone for sure.

Quote from: BasilZero on Jul 27, 2015, 12:14 AMI honestly wouldnt be surprised if we see it up and running next year or in early 2017 to be honest.Supposedly somehow the PS3 has been progressing faster.
Xbox360 is a completely different system compared to the PS3.
Mainly the reason why we havent seen much PS3/Xbox360 emulation updates is because majority of the coders were working on other projects or had this sense of justice of not creating a emulator early in a systems' life.
The days of Dark_Alex are gone :(!

Basically, in order to change your text size, you have to change the size of everything else, icons and everything. In other versions of Windows, you can choose to just change the text size. You can't here. For me, this is a pretty egregious omission/cut feature.

No idea why anybody would pay for premium solitaire access, but as long as they're not shoving it in my face, I'm whatever on the subject.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 29, 2015, 10:21 PMMake a DifferenceI've always thought he was a good developer.
Hi guys. First of all, I wanted to thank the community in general for the huge outpouring of support through emails and in the forums. I know a lot of you are concerned about me or think that I'm stressed out. It's true that I'm stressed a little; but it's ok because the result was good. I've worked very hard this year, almost non-stop, to produce good games for this series. Even though there may be some debate as to how "good" the games are, I did my best to provide some good scares and a good story. All I can do is judge from the Steam reviews that I've been mostly successful; so I'm very happy about that.
It's true that there has been a lot of hate toward me lately; on the forums, on youtube, etc. And I'll be honest, it's difficult. It's difficult when people seem to dislike you only because you've found success with something. I think some people have this idea that I spend my days swimming in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck, cranking out games with no effort, then laughing all the way to the bank. The reality is quite different, and I think that people who hate on me for being successful are misguided.
Did you know that last year I was working at Dollar General? I worked as a cashier. I had three bosses who were all still in high school. Before that I worked at Target in the backroom freezer, unloading frozen foods. I haven't had a successful life; and now that God has blessed me with some success, I'm doing my best to be responsible with that success. I don't party on weekends, I don't get drunk or sip martinis. I spend my evenings playing Megaman 3, buster only, with my kids. And I try to do good with what's been given to me.
I guess the reason I'm telling you all of this is to make sure you know that I'm human. I have a lot of flaws, and I've made a lot of mistakes. My games aren't perfect, and they never will be. But something more important that I want to convey to all of you, is that you should never listen to people who criticize success simply because it's success. Being good at something is something to strive for, not something to demonize. Criticisms of my games are fine, and a lot of times the criticism is valid. But there are a lot of people out there who will hate anything that becomes popular, just because it's popular, and hate anyone who becomes successful, just because they are successful. "Haters gonna hate." –as they say, but I want you to know that focusing on someone else's failure or success is the wrong way to live. People who make videos bashing other people are like people who run into a public square and scream into a pillow. They'll get attention, but they won't change anything. If you strive to be like them, then you'll spend your life screaming into a pillow as well, and your life won't mean anything.
The best emails I get are from people who have chosen to pursue game development because of the games that I've made, or people who have decided to do computer science, or learn programming. Who will be the next game designer? Who will make the next game for Markiplier to play? Make sure that it's you! People who hate success will never be successful. Focus on your success, and your story. People always ask me what college I recommend, or what programs I recommend. My answer is to just go forward, practice. Just GET to college, study hard, be awesome at what you do. Make sure that you are next year's big success story. Don't fall into the pit of people who have given up on making something of themselves, and make sure you make EVERYTHING out of yourself.
I'm getting too old for this. And when I retire someday, I'm going to want to sit down at a computer and play YOUR games, read YOUR stories, and watch YOUR videos. Don't fall in with the people who have already given up on themselves. You are tomorrow's next big thing. :)

Right click the windows 10 thing, it'll say "go to windows update" and then click on that. Then mine says "failed to update" then when you click on that, there's a list of updates.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 31, 2015, 03:57 PMThis is how the update goes.Yup.
-Windows update downloads the "get windows 10."
-You have to reserve a copy.
-It downloads the windows 10 to the windows update thing that was always in windows 7/8
-After it is done downloading. It lets you know that it is down downloading and you can install it.
(http://news.techgenie.com/files/Windows-Update-Agent-in-Windows-7.png)
This is the windows update thing, that you absolutely have. Below the "updates installed" I'm guessing for you guys it has something that says "failed" and then when you click on failed, it'll say "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" and in the next column it'll say failed.
That's what I'm guessing.

It's better than 8 I suppose but i'm not jumping up and down over here. Cortana is about as pointless as you think she'd be. Unless you'r really busy I couldn't see the point in having a virtual assistant. And it doesn't pick up my voice as well as you think considering I have a pretty decent mic. And her searches open in Edge and not chrome witch bugs me. Edge is better than I.E but I still don't like it over chrome. Games seems to play as they did before and I haven't run into any problems trying to run a game yet. But I've been spending a lot of time on the ps4 over that last few weeks. If you just really tired of 8 then make the jump, if not I guess it doesn't matter if you upgrade or not.

• Optimized system memory and VRAM usage
• Improved performance on all GPUs (requires the latest drivers)
o Min Spec AMD GPU is once again the Radeon HD 7870 2GB
• More Robust In-Game Settings, including:
o Added the ability to change settings for Max FPS to 30/60/90
o Added toggles for Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, and Film Grain
o Added a "High" Texture Resolution value
o Added Texture Filtering option
o Added an Adaptive V-Sync option (NVIDIA only)
o Added VRAM Usage Meter
o Added Mouse Sensitivity Slider & Mouse Smoothing Option
• Fixed low resolution texture bugs
• Fixed hitches when running on mechanical hard drives (HDD)
While our first priority is fixing the issues listed above, the team is continuing to work on the following:
• Skipping the boot up splash screens
• DLC/Season Pass content
• Additional updates such as Photo Mode
We again thank you for your continued patience as we work on these issues. As always, we are continuing to monitor and listen for any additional issues.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Aug 31, 2015, 05:13 PMI do not have multiple monitors for my laptop. I'm going to try and disable the CPU embedded graphics card next time. Tried this twice and it stops at 40% each time. If that works it's quite ridiculous. Should be easy for MS to fix...Windows launches usually have lots of problems.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 31, 2015, 05:25 PMWindows launches usually have lots of problems.if it doesn't work in the next try I'm just going to give it up. MS fooled me into thinking the upgrade would be easy, which is why I said "ok, sure" in the first place
And like I said some people were saying even though they had 1 monitor, windows was detecting 2.

QuoteQuoteAfter ten long years (not to mention several different developers) the fourth major installment in the RollerCoaster Tycoon series, RollerCoaster Tycoon World, will arrive on December 10. Prior to launch, there will be two beta weekends for those who pre-purchase the game to get an early look.http://www.pcgamer.com/rollercoaster...-for-december/ (http://www.pcgamer.com/rollercoaster-tycoon-world-release-date-set-for-december/)
I spoke on Monday with Atari CEO Fred Chesnais, COO Todd Shallbeter, Senior Director of Marketing Tony Chien, and RCTW producer Matt Labunka. While RCTW's multiplayer mode will not be ready in time for launch, they told me it is planned as an free update in the future. In the meantime, there will still be some online functionality when the game is released. You'll be able to visit your friends' parks and utilize other social features like sharing screenshots and videos.
They also confirmed that RCTW will include Steam Workshop support at launchwhich has certainly done wonders for extending the lifespan of city-building sim Cities: Skylines. RCTW will allow players to upload and share the coasters they build, custom scenery, and other assets, along with saved games and parks. According to Atari, creating your own scenery and "peeps" (park visitors) can be done with any 3D editing program compatible with Unity. Atari couldn't quite confirm there would be deeper mod support in the future, to allow custom-made rides or other changes to the core gameplay, though producer Matt Labunka told me it is "certainly something we're looking at."

The planets in Elite Dangerous: Horizons feel immersive, tactile and real, and making them is a complex, fascinating and important part of development. We'd love to give you a sneak peek behind the scenes at how we create these planets, so were hosting a livestream next week with a couple of our lead artists (keep an eye on our social media channels for where the stream will be hosted).On Wednesday October 14, at 7PM BST, we'll show you some early development footage of the icy and rocky worlds in motion. This peek behind the scenes will demonstrate the simulation technology that we've been working on to create the captivating Europa lines for the ice worlds and canyons, and the craters and mountains for the rocky worlds.
Simulation has always been important within the Elite Dangerous galaxy, and our conversation with the artists will highlight the accuracy, depth and technical prowess that go into creating the impressive features that make up our worlds.
We'll talk through the base-scientific principle that the simulation has been built on in order to shape these beautiful, real worlds. Viewers will also have the chance to ask questions about the atmosphere-less bodies they'll be landing on when Elite Dangerous: Horizons launches later this year.

Quote from: Legend on Nov 10, 2015, 10:44 PMI'm thinking about thinking about making my own micro PC "adaptor."I expected step by step instructions. ;D
So currently my set up is that I have my work desk with my dev kit and PC, while 30 feet away is where my PS4, couch, and big TV are. A micro PC would be at both locations and pass input/output back and forth through dedicated ethernet lines. The end result would act like a steam machine in my entertainment cabinet, yet it'd be powered by either my dev kit or PC in the other room. No streaming so no significant delay.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Nov 19, 2015, 03:14 PMTrying to find a good deal on Laptops in Canada but it's literally impossible. I want a decent one so that I could also play some of the more recent game at mid-high settings.You have to wait for September when Best Buy gives out sales for school. The other problem is that with the dollar so low, prices have sky rocketed. I want to build a new desktop and the i7 I want is 500 dollars. My i7 2600 was 270 on sale (I think 320 or 350 not on sale) at Canada Computers. Kinda funny cause I remember when I went to get it, I was one of the few to pick it up, everyone else went in for the FX deal for only a bit cheaper.
Saw this one on the US Amazon site - Amazon.com : Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK 15.6" Full-HD Gaming Laptop (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX960M) with Windows 10 : Computers & Accessories (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=gbps_tit_s-3_5262_f5d07087?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2289565262&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_all&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0JDWAA3NN9BMKRBGE3TH?&tag=ignsitehgg)
If I bought it, it would come out to about 1000$ Canadian but they don't even ship to Canada =/. Also it's only got a 256 GB SSD which is low on space but I guess you could install an HDD.
Anyone know where I could find some good deals on Laptop for Canada?

I see they both have the same GPU but the dell has 4 GB and the Asus has 2 GB. Does that really make that big of a difference? I also see that the CPU is much better in the Asus model...What do you guys think?
Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 23, 2015, 04:20 PMI would say the Asus one cause the hardware is more reliable than Dell but that Dell laptop has a better GPU in terms of the memory. 4 GB over 2GB is a no brainer.4 gb or 2gb, gets a little tricky with lower end cards. The 960 is kinda in the middle where I'm not sure if it'll be able to push 4gb even though it has it.
But dang the Asus laptop has a better CPU :x - a i7 over a i5. But the GHz for both is 2.6 yet you can clock the i5 to a 3.2.
@Pezus - we need yo advice :O

Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 26, 2015, 04:56 AMSo I tried out WWE 2k15.The last wrestling game i liked was on the NES.
For the most part its pretty awesome (though I can see why people hate it since it lacks some modes you would expect) - the last WWE game I played was 2007 on PS2.
Anyways, FPS was around 45 until I realized there was a Audience Tessellation option. Turned it off and now I got 60 FPS with a few hiccups from time to time which goes down to 58-59 which isnt a issue.
First match I tried was playing as Roman Reigns and I fought John Cena in a singles match....couldnt beat him - I got beaten by Superman Cena ;(!
(I like it - was worried my PC might not be able to handle it lol - tested out 6 man in a elimination chamber, fps went down but it wasnt anything major).

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Dec 12, 2015, 12:03 AMdns_probe_finished_bad_config prevents you from accessing websites, causes issues with connecting to outside services. As the name suggests, this is aDNS related error. The function of DNS is to resolve/translate names so when your system cannot resolve or translate the address, you will get this error or DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN (http://appuals.com/best-fix-steps-fix-dns_probe_finished_nxdomain/)Thanks Tacos!
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG. By default, your computer is set to use the DNS configured in your router or modem which is Internet Providers DNS unless it has been changed. I always recommend using public dns servers, which you should see in this guide as they are most active and have a 99% uptime. If you don't understand, don't worry, just follow the steps below.
To fix this issue, follow the steps below:
1. Hold Windows key and press R
2. In the run dialog, type cmd and click OK
3. When the Black Command Prompt opens, type the following in it and Hit Enter.
(http://appuals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ipconfigflushdns.jpg) (http://appuals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ipconfigflushdns.jpg)
This will flush dns cache. Which is sometimes, the cause when there is a change in the DNS and the system is looking up its local cache to take you to the websites.
4. Once this is done, Hold Windows key and press Ragain.
5. This time, type ncpa.cpl and Click OK.
6. You will be taken to the network connections.
What we need to do here, is update your DNS settings.
7. Identify your network adapter, which is connected and right click it, then choose Properties.

I'm at 10,000 but oculus tool says my CPU doesn't qualify. I have an i7 980x extreme, and even though it's a very good CPU, it doesn't perform as well in single core tests. Pretty disappointing. I guess I'll be going PSVR this year, and get a future oculus version when I build a new PC in a year or two.

FML. I'm still spinning my wheels not know what I really want to do. I promised my wife I'd try to do this without spending any money out of or account So that means selling stuff. At this rate I'd need to sell the Wii U and Xbox one in order to achieve that goal, or just go with Haswell over skylake, as I wouldn't need new ram.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 17, 2016, 08:45 PMWhere did you see 980 as a requirement for elite vr?Spoiler for Hidden:Spoiler for Hidden:
QuoteGreetings Commanders,
Many of you have been asking about the minimum system requirements for VR in Elite Dangerous, including Horizons, so here they are:
• OS: Windows 7/8/10 64 bit
• Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K Quad Core CPU or better / AMD FX 4350 Quad Core CPU or better
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: Nvidia GTX 980 with 4GB or better
• Network: Broadband Internet Connection
• Hard Drive: 8 GB available space
We are passionate about VR and Elite Dangerous is leading the way in cutting edge VR software development. This is what we consider to be a minimum spec to have a good experience on forthcoming consumer VR headsets.
As most of you are aware we currently support HTC Vive and the Oculus rift 0.5 SDK. We continue to work with Oculus on support for their more recent SDKs, and will let you know if and when there is more to announce.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 17, 2016, 11:46 PMYou're fine on that too, it looks like.It does, but a 980 is a bit steep. I wonder if that's to run it on ultra at 120fps.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jan 16, 2016, 08:36 PMI've been looking and it seems DDR4 only makes a difference in rendering and really not important to games. Skylake in general really doesn't seem help in games. The added cost of going skylake doesn't seem to be worth the squeeze. Any opinions on the matter?Tamron in the welcome thread was mentioning skylake is bad. My personal thoughts? Intel reached their limit. I personally think Intel should scale back to 4 cores and try bringing each core clocked to 5ghz.

I really don't see the point in them releasing something with such little improvement.You're right. But like I said, Intel reached their limit. This happened before in the ghz race. AMD's Athlon at 2ghz was outperforming Intel's 4ghz processors. Intel is reaching their limit of what they can do with a die shrink. Let's hope Zen can catch up and price intel back into competition.
It might make sense if you need a computer anyway to start with skylake but if you on Haswell the gain isn't worth the expense.
I think part of the problem is they lack completion and it doesn't look to be getting any better on that front.
A buy out by MS would be the best thing that could happen to AMD and the industry.

They made a bad design, that was worse than their old design.Pentium M, which are based on the Pentium 3. The point I was trying to make was that they sacrificed IPC for ghz. They also reached the limit at the time.
The Pentium 3's for example were supposed to be more than 30% faster than the Pentium 4 clock for clock.
If I recall correctly, the newer CPUs, all the i3's, i5's, etc, were based on the Pentium 3.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 18, 2016, 09:34 PMThere's a reason why CPUs are going for more cores instead of just getting higher and higher hertz.I know very well why more cores vs higher clocks. The problem is that multicore isn't a silver bullet. It hasn't been for 7 years and it's never going to be.
Synchronization becomes difficult, and energy consumption rises, and the CPUs get very hot. That's one big reason why we have multicore.
Tamron said they were fragile. Not bad. They're very good CPU's.

Threading has to be utilized better.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 20, 2016, 03:16 AMCost going into researching cooling systems and costs for consumers for powering said systems.Like I said, 8 years later and we're not much farther. Plus you get scaling issues with larger core counts. Plus that type of programming is better off on a GPU. I personally don't understand why Intel or AMD don't feed assembly calls into the embedded gpus.
Multicore is a much better route to go. Developers need to jump on board with it.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Feb 05, 2016, 07:23 PMWell I downloaded the streaming program and the lag was too much. I could draw from on side of the screen to the other before it would show up. And it woldn't complete my strokes. It would start them late and finish them early. Not sure what to do now. I really don't want to spend 1200 on a surface, even if my wife wants one. It seems wacom is going to be the best bet, but they are so overpriced for what you get.Have you tried just a simple cheap one? Neverdies' wasn't much at all.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 06, 2016, 02:14 AMA lot of schools have smart boards that are kind of like smart markerboards.
There's usually 4 markers, and the display tells which marker is being used, basically by the markers being on a button and the system keeps track of which marker was removed last.
Then there's a projector to actually display what's on the board.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 06, 2016, 02:14 AMA lot of schools have smart boards that are kind of like smart markerboards.Yeah, it's a mixed feeling for them. There's a push for them, but I think they're useless. I like that you can save work and digitize it. Like, they're way to expensive for what they do. I can do just as much with a projector projecting on a black board/white board.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 07, 2016, 07:38 PMI think they're pretty cool.It's not quite what you think :P
I personally like drawing on a marker board.
I would want one at some point, that way I wouldn't have to worry about getting markers.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Feb 07, 2016, 10:58 PMIt's not quite what you think :PI've used smart boards before, and I've seen teachers use it quite extensively. Pretty much all the teachers had a smart board by the time I got to high school. Seen them used to a great extent for about 3-4 years, used it myself every now and then.
They don't erase as well. Plus, with the way I teach, I use presentations and then leave empty space so I can write on the white board with. So I'll project something, then use the white board to draw on it. It's not exactly easy to do that with a smartboard. Unless someone wrote software for it.
Quote from: Aura7541 on Feb 16, 2016, 03:11 PMVulkan has officially launched (https://www.khronos.org/vulkan/).Oh fancy.
QuoteQ: That's better. Now, why was Vulkan support added to Talos?
A: Good question! We (Croteam) firmly believe that Vulkan is really the best low(est)-level API there can be. Fast and portable!
Yes, it has downside(s). For one, it's quite hard to program for. You have to do a lot of things manually, instead of relying on drivers to do the work for you. This is both good and bad at the same time. Good for performance reasons, because driver doesn't assume what game wants to render (I won't go into any more details here, sorry). Bad because there's a lot more coding and in general, it's a more complex approach. You better know what you're doing, because you won't get any help from the driver. You're on your own.
It's really great to have that much control. IF you know what you're doing!

Quote from: Legend on Feb 18, 2016, 03:03 AMWalking in space ships is so amazing!This is Star Citizen?
It makes the game like grand theft auto in space. I was having a blast being a stowaway on other ships. In one case I was exploring a space station when I noticed a $200 ship parked outside. I ran to the ship and triggered the boarding elevator. However its captain was right behind me and started shooting as I rode the platform up.
Inside I freak out since I lack a gun. I run to the next room to see him riding the storage elevator up, gun drawn. I run around to the other side of the ship closing doors behind me, finding a deployable fighter. Hide in it while I hear him searching the ship but he missed me.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Feb 18, 2016, 04:24 PMThis is Star Citizen?Yeah they recently released the "Universe" alpha which is pretty close to what the final game is.

My only option is to water cool both cards or sell them in favor of a 980ti hydro.
Choices....

Quote from: Legend on Feb 18, 2016, 06:11 PMWater cooling could decrease your computer's sound a lot.It really depends on your pumps and fans. The good thing is a water cooler fans don't need to run very fast 90 percent of the time.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Feb 19, 2016, 11:49 AMWell I got my first paid pc build.Not sure. Don't think you want to charge a profit on parts. Just labour. 50/50 for the build and install is reasonable.
Not sure how I'm going to charge yet. Maybe 10 bucks profit on each major part, 50 to build, 50 to install os.
Does this sound reasonable?

Quote from: Xevross on Feb 19, 2016, 11:57 PMSo a couple of days ago my laptop gave up on life. I went out and left it on for a while and when I came back it was acting weird. I could load up programs but do nothing with them. I could open new tabs on chrome but not interact with the page. So I restarted it and when it switched on it made loads of beeping noises and switched itself off again. After messing around with it for a while I did a reset, uninstalling apps but keeping files and that seemed to fix it.I don't know. Maybe if it does it again. Sound like it locked up from being left on too long.
It's working fine now, if anything a bit faster than before it seems... But should I be worried? Do I need to get it checked out? Can any of you think what went wrong?

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Feb 20, 2016, 12:11 AMI don't know. Maybe if it does it again. Sound like it locked up from being left on too long.Well it wasn't on for that long, I usually keep it on for longer than that, I'd only gone out for a quick walk.

If something fails, it'd be more of an issue. Though it sounds like something got corrupted in the hard drive.
That could be it tbh, I should use it less.

Quote from: BasilZero on Mar 11, 2016, 08:28 PMYou could go to control panel - security/updating settings - > go to installed drivers/files and manually delete them.Yeah seams it's really common.
I had to do that yesterday when I went to update my win 8.1 gaming laptop.
Its amazing how they pushed the upgrade under three different Knowledge base files. I made two of them hidden because I remember the numbers but the third one (under a different number) got downloaded after my update last night. Deleted it manually before rebooting my laptop and did a check for updates for it to appear again and hid that.
So now I got three hidden "Security patches" that are meant for Windows 8.1 but are actually Windows 10 installers in disguise. Sneaky MS ;(!
No issues afterwards though.
I'll get Windows 10 for my new gaming desktop when I build it later this year.

It's a decent GPU, that for a lot of games will out perform PS4/XBO especially.
It won't do VR very well though for example.

She has 1500 to spend and I just put together a system with a 980ti and 16 gb of ddr4. But they'd still need an os and a box to stick it in. but that would be an all water cooled system too.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Sep 01, 2016, 01:12 AMThe general consensus is that emulation isn't doable. Maybe in like 5 years, a Pi will be able to pull it off.It'll do more than run PS2 games XD. Pi 3 can do Dreamcast. Though I'm not sure if the A10 can acutally handle Demul. Demul kinda brute forces the tile engine from the PowerVR GPU. It's very slow and needs a pretty powerful GPU, it's actually slower than the PCSX2. Though I like the machine. I wonder if the A10 can run current games at 720p/1080p at fluid frame rates. *Runs to anandtech*
You could probably build that PC for about 350$, and it should even be able to run PS2 games (with graphics options turned down.), easily handle Dreamcast.
Quote from: Aura7541 on Sep 05, 2016, 03:56 PMSo I'm planning on getting a new laptop, but I'm torn between these two. Which one do you guys think is the better deal?Pretty much the only notable difference is the top one has a much better CPU, while the bottom comes with an SSD.
XOTIC PC | ASUS GL551VW-DS51 - 15.6" w/ NVIDIA GTX 960M Notebook (http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-gl551vw-ds71.html)
Eluktronics N151RD1 Pro Premium Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5-6300HQ Quad Core Windows 10 Home 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 15.6" Full HD IPS Display 128GB Performance SSD + 1TB HDD 8GB DDR4 RAM - Newegg.com (https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=9SIA8S14H10026&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=PPSSLMCMBXMDCJ-_-9SIA8S14H10026-_-Product)
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Sep 05, 2016, 04:19 PMPretty much the only notable difference is the top one has a much better CPU, while the bottom comes with an SSD.The Asus also has more video memory. I guess I can replace the DVD drive with an SSD if I feel like it. I rarely use the DVD drive if ever.
Personally would go for the first, even if they cost the same. But other people much prefer having the SSD.

Quote from: Legend on Oct 29, 2016, 03:42 PMHe's wrong... the human eye sees at 22fps :P
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Oct 29, 2016, 04:39 PMHe's wrong... the human eye sees at 22fps :PI'm similar. 60 fps is nice and all but I don't consider it important enough to sacrifice graphics for. As long as there's no screen tearing/pacing problems and the framerate is above 25, I tend to be happy.
On another note, while I'm not against 60fps in gaming, since 3D games is one of the few mediums that can actually not make it look like dog, but why do enthusiasts really cry about games being at 30? I mean, it's not like you wanna watch a movie on fast forward at 60+ fps :/
Also I've been playing with my Skullcanyon. It's expensive, but it's pretty impressive. It's about as powerful as my 5 year old desktop (GTX 560). But it's the size of a PSTwo. Though, while it's not going to be as good as HBM, Intel did a decent job with using regular ram. There's a bit of lag when RE Revelations is loading something, though I'm running my games off of an SD Card, so that can be an issue. But Revelations 1 runs pretty much full speed at 1080p. I downloaded The Witcher 2, but I'm going to try it out after Halloween. I think the little bugger could handle more newer games, but I think Intel is dropping the ball with their drivers. My GTX 560 Ti can handle Rise of the Tomb Raider at 1080p maxed at around 25fps. The Iris Pro 580 is about as powerful, but can only handle the game at 720p, lowest possible settings and at 15fps. That doesn't sound right to me. It can also supposedly run Witcher 3, but I haven't bought it.
Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 11, 2016, 08:30 PMThere's a huge difference between 30 and 60 FPS for me.It played perfectly fine at 30fps on ps3/360...
60 FPS feels way way more smoother for me than 30 FPS.
It doesnt make games unplayable...well maybe a few, I dont know why but I just couldnt play Bioshock 2 on PC at 60 FPS cause it would drop to 50-55 and the staggering and movement fluidness changes and its very noticeable. So I turn off the cap , and it plays completely smooth at 80 fps for me l0l
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 12, 2016, 03:16 AMIt played perfectly fine at 30fps on ps3/360...
Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 12, 2016, 05:50 PMHmm no idea - I dont buy third party multiplats anymore on consoles.I mean all fames play fine at 30...
But I'm assuming it'll be similar or probably worse than when I played it at 60 FPS lol
Anyways, was my first time playing a full fledged AAA title on my gaming laptop :p (been mainly playing Indies or emulated games).
Didnt experience the same issue with Bioshock 1 or Infinite when played it on my gaming desktop so it might be a isolated issue with just Bioshock 2 o.o.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 12, 2016, 06:05 PMI mean all fames play fine at 30...
Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 13, 2016, 10:22 PMOh ya, it plays "fine" but not as great as it would on a fully optimized PC version of a game.They play identical though, I mean, you don't aim better with a higher FPS. You don't move around any faster. Yes it "looks" nicer but it doesn't affect gameplay.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 14, 2016, 12:42 AMThey play identical though, I mean, you don't aim better with a higher FPS. You don't move around any faster. Yes it "looks" nicer but it doesn't affect gameplay.Well people will argue that higher FPS decreases input lag.
Quote from: Legend on Nov 14, 2016, 12:47 AMWell people will argue that higher FPS decreases input lag.It doesn't though, higher polling does. That or breaking V-snyc. Street Fighter 5 is at 60fps, it has comparatively high input lag.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 14, 2016, 12:51 AMIt doesn't though, higher polling does. That or breaking V-snyc. Street Fighter 5 is at 60fps, it has comparatively high input lag.It can decrease input lag because the render itself takes less time. ~33ms at 30fps vs 16ms at 60fps.
Quote from: Legend on Nov 14, 2016, 12:53 AMIt can decrease input lag because the render itself takes less time. ~33ms at 30fps vs 16ms at 60fps.Again, V-sync causes large input lag. Also if your USB or Bluetooth is polling at a certain time, you can be running at 1000000fps that won't matter. Your TV also adds lag. The best you can do is match your render time to controller polling.

Since then really havent had any info on the game, been too busy looking at Pokemon/FinalFantasyXV/MassEffect/KingdomHearts/NintendoSwitch/Zelda/GodOfWar/etc.Yeah it has a single player game called Squadron 42. This acts as a prequel to the "MMO" side of Star Citizen. Was supposed to have released this year but it's been delayed.

There's a bug in intel's thermal monitor. I had to shut it off. I hope they get it fixed soon. It was thinking the pc was always overheating and down clocking it.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 24, 2016, 03:19 AMI turned off directx 12. I didn't try the benchmark but I started a game. It was fluid. Can't say it was 30, but it wasn't slowing down or stuttering. Not bad for a integrated video card.Why would dx12 make it worse?
Quote from: Legend on Nov 24, 2016, 03:44 AMWhy would dx12 make it worse?Intel. I was watching some videos of tomb raider on youtube on the lowest possible settings on an Iris Pro and it ran like dog. I had always suspected that the drivers aren't up to par. Iris Pro only has edram for video + system. That setup probably needs a lot of driver optimizations. I'ma assuming Intel is behind. Especially considering my Skull Canyon has an underclocked desktop 6600 in it, it shouldn't be that bad.. I'll try it with Direct X 12 and see how it runs in game vs benchmark.

Quote from: Legend on Jan 16, 2017, 07:43 AMThey'll likely have more. The Banu and the Kr'Thak are likely to have their own languages as well. I have a feeling the Tevarin, being that they are a conquered species with no home anymore and living mostly in Human space, will speak almost entirely English but they will probably make up certain phrases in a different language. Kind of showing that the Tevarin are losing their old culture. Much the same way Native American languages are spoken less and less with each generation.
It's fun how "popular" conlangs are becoming. Didn't realise Star Citizen had two even!

Quote from: Raven on Jan 23, 2017, 12:23 AMAny word on when 3.0 is to release?
- The team is working on female animations in order to get female characters into the game soon.
- Female NPCs are ready to go as they mostly don't require as many animations as a player character does.
- It's not as simple as slapping on animations designed for males. Female animations need to be "feminized". As an example, a female character should not walk with the same center mass as a male character would.
- Tanks would be very easy to put into the game. Any kind of tracked vehicles would be. The engine already has all the parameters in place to make them.
- The devs are constantly trying to improve the game's performance. Quite often the problem is the artists are allowed to run wild in creating things but then when the tech teams come in to find out why the game is only running at 10 frames per second, they end up finding a lot of highly inefficient artist choices having been made.
- Huge strides have been made on reducing the number of asset errors that go through the build process. Two years ago they hit a point where they had over 16,000 errors. For patch 2.6, they managed to push the build through with zero asset errors.
- The devs look at Star Citizen's current state as one giant test environment. Even the current "Live" game is a testing ground to them.
- Anti-aliasing is something that will be worked on. Shader development is what they want to work on first and then they will implement whatever AA they decide to go for. Sean Tracy thinks that supersampling is where it's at. As of right now, they don't want to put AA in the game when some of the other graphical settings haven't even been set, nevermind optimized. The hit to performance would be too great and cause a lot of development downtime as they redo or rethink their AA solution.
- Delta patching is on the way and will be great for both devs and the players. This will dramatically decrease the time it takes the devs to send various builds across the world to their four different studios and the time it takes the player to download new patches. It was a high priority to begin with but there were other things even higher on the list. Otherwise, this would have happened a lot sooner.
- Chris Roberts sometimes mentions battlemechs. Since Sean Tracy and his brother ran a popular mod about them, Sean has threatened Chris that if he keeps it up he'll put battlemechs in the game when he's not looking.
- Sean Tracy feels that there is a layer missing in the game right now and it's power armor, similar to mechs. Right now, a ship could camp a landing pad and there isn't much you can do unless you call in for someone from elsewhere to come take the ship out. Players should thus have an option to equip a powered suit that can carry some of the smaller ship weapons in the game. Anti-personnel or even anti-vehicle weapons won't be sufficient for dealing with most ships in the game. The Titan, a powered suit, is something that has already been talked about and concept art shown for it. It will be in the game eventually.
- Pirate Swarm, one of the modes for Arena Commander, will become much more difficult in patch 2.6.1 thanks to AI improvements.
- The Mega Map tech they're working on behind the scenes will dramatically speed up loading times across the board. For some parts of the game, loading should be virtually instant.
- Your handling in the game is already affected by the size of your weapons and the amount of ammo you have. However, the relative difference in mass is so minor that it's not detected by the players in any meaningful way. Larger vessels capable of carrying tons of cargo, however, may have their handling affected. The calculations are already being done to try and make it so that what you have inside your ship, on your ship, and how much of it will impact your ship's performance.
- An updated schedule report is coming very soon. The company is at the end of its beginning-of-the-year summits where the teams get together and discuss the plans for the upcoming year. Also, HR decided that this was a fantastic time to do everyone's employee review at the exact same time... (The schedule report has since gone live, with 2.6.1 planned to be released on February 17th, 2016)
- Mega Map is also the tech the team is using to make player hangars opening up and letting them fly out into the world possible. (It would allow the player to be inside their hangar without worrying about a performance hit being taken with the game trying to consider what is going on outside. Mega Map would give the devs a tool to effectively allow the game to only concern itself with what is in your hangar and then quickly stream in assets appropriately as the doors are opened)
- The team is looking at different ways to "hand wave" the fact that potentially thousands of players could be trying to leave a hangar that exists for all of them in the same space. So instead of having no room to leave, they would find a way to make it so that, at least temporarily, you're the only one in that immediate area.
- For Star Citizen, they first push for maximum realism and then scale back certain ideas based on what is actually fun. One of the things Sean Tracy tells his guys when the topic of something being realistic pops up is to go outside, sit at a bus bench, and then come back and tell him how fun it was. They would also like everyone to know that they do not advocate ever going outside.
- There is nothing officially announced yet about planetside racing but it is something they want in the game. Because of the massive amount of area that planets have, they would like to give players the ability to create the race courses themselves.
- All kinds of races would take place. It wouldn't just be the high performance, built-for-racing vehicles. Even the Argo transport ships and Dragonfly snub fighters / hover bikes would have their own races.
- They don't know how crazy they want to get with it. Not sure if the race tracks would permanently persist or only as long as players were in the area. Would they do tournaments? Would they allow people to vote / bet on the races?
- The devs really want to give players the ability to create many things in the universe. They feel that some of the best ideas and creations have come from the community already.
- They will absolutely give the players long campaigns, scripted and unscripted events, and whatnot but they feel that the players can often create better experiences for themselves than even game designers can.
- Items 2.0 will allow the team to turn individual entities into components of other entities. So cargo, weapons, ships, and even people will become a part of any larger entity that they are inside of or attached to. This greatly reduces the system's need to constantly track every single entity in the game as if it is separate. Other games have had this tech before but it's such a huge deal for Star Citizen to work properly. (As an example, if you came across a ship with cargo in it, there would be no reason for the game to have to render that cargo and send all the information on it until either you're now a part of that entity as well or the cargo suddenly becomes separated from the ship. It's the idea of taking potentially thousands of entities and turning them into hundreds or less that the game needs to constantly concern itself with. As of right now, every entity in your immediate area is being rendered at every frame, which is incredibly inefficient)
- Sean Tracy's favorite planet in the game so far is something he can't actually talk about but will be arriving in 3.0. Tyler Witkins' favorite is MicroTech. Jared Huckaby really likes Nyx.
- A new snow component is being added to the engine to replace the old one from CryEngine.
- When asked what Sean Tracy is looking forward to doing the most in Star Citizen his answer is "finishing it".
Quote from: Legend on Jan 23, 2017, 04:55 AMAny word on when 3.0 is to release?No. Patch 2.6.1 is coming mid-February and there was a recent interview with Chris Roberts that said there will be one more incremental patch, 2.6.2, after that which adds the MegaMap tech to speed up load times and asset streaming. I'm going to guess that patch will drop sometime in March. I'm also going to guess that 3.0 will probably hit just before or right at the beginning of June. We won't know for sure what their plans are until the schedule report for 3.0 lands and that won't happen until after 2.6.2 is out.

Quote from: BasilZero on May 20, 2017, 12:38 PMI managed to salvage Bloodrayne 1 on PC.I picked up Bloodrayne 2 from GOG. Controllers don't work with it... well dualshock 4 anyways.
Even though the GOG version is better than the Steam version, playing the Steam version (for the Steam cards and so I can at least have it in my Steam gametime list.
I tried applying some of the fixes that the GOG version had (1.1 version) since the Steam version has 1.0.
Fixed most of the issues.
Changed resolution from 640x480 to 1920x1080 - looks quite good.
FPS went from 200+ to 30 FPS (the console version FPS)
Cutscenes are borked, cant see any cutscene (The CG ones at least) but thats not a issue since there's like 3 or 4 cutscenes total and they are viewable in the "video" folder for the Steam version (which I already watched).
Controller setting at first was messed up but I managed to find a way to get my PS4 controller working but there's a slight right movement by itself...not a big issue.
This game is gonna get a low score for sure I know mainly cause of the issues I experienced with the Steam port. Might play the GOG version just to see how it turns out but not the whole way.
Though I can see why the issues remained since this game came out on PC back in 2003 when PC gaming wasnt really as big as it is now.

I didnt use any mods though, I used Steam's inbuilt controller configuration which emulated the DS4 into a xinput controller (Steam controller, xbox360 controller, etc).
I dont think GOG supports controller configurations (unless you mod it in) like Steam does which is probably why it didnt work for you.

Google Chrome
Clearing your DNS cache through Google Chrome is much easier in my opinion than through your computer.
To do so, open up Chrome, and type in chrome://net-internals/#DNS into the search bar and press Enter.On the left-hand side, a menu is shown. Select DNS. From the DNS page, there will be a button you will see that reads Clear Host Cache. Select it, and that is all you have to do. As you can see, it is a much simpler step than using your Mac computer.
However, the Mac method is still viable if you use different browsers and want to clear the whole computer. The Google Chrome method will just clear the DNS for Chrome, nothing else.

QuoteBecause of the PDP/Firewatch incident, seems Valve also took a look at the so-called review-bombings and will now add histograms.
Some user from the comments describes it well:QuoteStarting today, each game page now contains a histogram of the positive to negative ratio of reviews over the entire lifetime of the game, and by clicking on any part of the histogram you're able to read a sample of the reviews from that time period.http://steamcommunity.com/games/5931...26897426987372 (http://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1448326897426987372)(http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27766192/66793e5d30a8fe79f54216ceeac0fb1765594ae9.png)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Sep 30, 2017, 03:57 PMI got an email about CryEngine 5.4 a week ago. They are still chugging along I guess.Crytek is continuing Cryengine while Amazon is scrapping it...
A fair amount of updates. Vulkan support, new AA methods. A few new things with terrain systems and substance integration. Among others.
Saw on Reddit that Lumberyard just released 1.11 which seems like it's a few days early to me.
They are replacing some cryengine animation systems, a new scripting solution to replace CryEngine's flowgraph, a converter for CryEntities to new Component Entities.
It also comes preinstalled with Starter Game.

Quote from: Xevross on Oct 04, 2018, 02:23 PMSo today I learned that RAM is actually very important for gaming. My laptop had 8GB which I thought was fine but I noticed when I was playing Forza Horizon 4 that it was running not so well, and by the looks of task manager it was RAM limiting it. So I bought a new 8GB ram stick for 16GB in total and holy hell what a difference.I'm crying over here with my 8GB ram :'(
I went from ~50fps on medium with occasional freezing and stuttering (possibly to load the world) to a rock solid 60fps on ultra. Wish I'd done that before I'd finished most of the game, it looks absolutely phenomenal now.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Oct 04, 2018, 02:51 PMI'm surprised it made such a difference, to be honest.Yeah so am I. I think it's because of how limited it was. With windows 10 eating over 4GB of RAM it only had about 3.7GB to play with before, and now it's using 5.5GB.
Quote from: Xevross on Oct 04, 2018, 03:11 PMYeah so am I. I think it's because of how limited it was. With windows 10 eating over 4GB of RAM it only had about 3.7GB to play with before, and now it's using 5.5GB.Man, I guess I didn't completely realize Windows 10 was such a hog. :o
QuoteI also don't get why my CPU is doing less work now. It used to be matching the RAM with being at 90%+ on task manager but now it's running the game at around 60%.The CPU doesn't have to work as hard to make sure what it needs is in RAM.

Having to constantly write and read from the hard drive is incredibly time consuming and uses a lot of CPU time.

QuoteIn a crazy day of news...
Cloud Imperium Games released the Squadron 42 roadmap with the target date of being in Beta in Q2 of 2020 : https://robertsspaceindustries.com/roadmap/board/2-Squadron-42 (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/roadmap/board/2-Squadron-42)

As we look forward to the holidays, I wanted to give you all a couple of updates. The first item of news is the Squadron 42 public roadmap (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/roadmap/board/2-Squadron-42) is going live today. As with our Persistent Universe roadmap, this is linked to our company's internal JIRA tracking system, so you can see at a glance the work remaining to complete the game. It was a lot of work to make sure every remaining task was broken down in detail and estimated to the best of our ability, and the same caveats will apply to the Squadron 42 roadmap as they do to the PU one, but our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha (balance, optimization and polish) and then Beta.

Have taken on an $46m dollar minority investment to fund their marketing while all crowdfunding dollars will go strictly into game development, securing their independence and not needing a publisher : https://cloudimperiumgames.com/blog/letter-from-the-chairman/investment-news (https://cloudimperiumgames.com/blog/letter-from-the-chairman/investment-news)
Having a great game is only half the battle. As we look towards the release of Squadron 42, we have been acutely aware that having a AAA game that matches the biggest single player games out there only goes so far if no one knows about it. The games we will be competing with for attention have tens and, in some cases, hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising behind them.
Other companies in a similar situation have normally tackled this problem by partnering with a Publisher for the marketing and sales of their game. As you all know I am not in favor of putting my destiny in the hands of a third party. On the other hand, I don't feel it would be right to go back to all of you to raise funds to market the game to other people; most of you already have a copy earmarked for you and I still strongly feel that the money brought in from our crowdfunding should continue to go to the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42.
Because of this, we started to investigate ways to raise money to fund the upcoming marketing and release needs of Squadron 42. We turned away some approaches from Private Equity and Venture Capital because we were concerned about them fully understanding what makes our company tick and pushing us towards short term decisions.
During the course of these discussions it became clear to me that if Clive and Keith joined us as investors in our company, we'd have true partners that respected what we had built, but also fully understood the ins and outs and the patience required with a business based on creating entertainment. Taking in like-minded partners helps us solve the need of funding the marketing and release of Squadron 42, but also stay attuned to what makes us special.
So, it's with this that I would like to announce that we have closed a minority investment (https://cloudimperiumgames.com/blog/corporate/cloud-imperium-investment-fact-sheet) into Cloud Imperium US & UK, from Clive's family office and Keith's Snoot Entertainment for $46M for approximately 10% of the shares in the Cloud Imperium US and UK companies, which is a testament to the value, future potential and longevity of the company.

(https://cloudimperiumgames.com/uploads/0253570a96344fccbc94519888ff9f09.png)
Overall, the accounting demonstrates that the Group is diligently spending the money we are collecting from our backers and customers on the game development and publishing, as set out from the beginning. There is not a direct annual correlation of our spend to our net income. A buffer arose in the early years as we wrestled with the scope of what our customers wanted, and whilst we accelerated early deliveries through third-party contracting, we were cautious with our growth and expenditure until we could better define what was needed. Since the scope of the production has become better understood, we have been able to plan our growth and optimize our areas of expenditure while still evolving based upon our open development ethos. This allows us to focus in on the detailed areas and key technologies and content that we believe will make this ground-breaking production a great success.
The Group plans ahead based upon the project roadmap and anticipating the continued and growing support of our existing and new backers and customers. That will mean accelerating spend in certain years, to move the production forward or cover key production goals or, unapologetically, cutting back slightly in other years based upon prudent budgeting, as we have the overriding discipline of aiming to balance our foreseeable budgets against our projected collections.
At the time of writing this report we have had our best month ever since we started this journey and we expect with the continued support of our existing and new backers and customers that we will create a truly inspirational game and experience that all of those involved in the community can take credit for and truly claim they have helped achieve.

KEY POINTS :As a Star Citizen/Squadron 42 fan - today has been a great and reassuring day. Looking forward to 2020 :)
- Financials show ~14m in the black in 2017. Burn rate looks sustainable for years at ~500 employees.
- $46m dollar investment for 10% of the company, plan is to use for marketing. All crowdfunded funds used directly for game development.
- Public roadmaps for both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 now both published (Star Citizen roadmap launched last year).
- Squadron 42 : "our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha (balance, optimization and polish) and then Beta."

Quote from: Legend on Mar 14, 2019, 06:25 AMPC store exclusives are weird. They simultaneously are perfectly easy to play but silly to exist. It'd make more sense if steamOS took off but nope.I honestly don't think valve would be in business if Steam wasn't the equivalent of WoW. They'e so horribly mismanaged and Gabe has no drive to do anything. Steam boxes and steamOS could have been huge. Hell I was walking around Best Buy today and my 1070 power MSI Arctic 3 is such a clean marvel compared to the equivalents at the store. All PCs should have this config. If Valve made a proper reference box, steam machines would still be a thing.

Quote from: kitler53 on Sep 01, 2020, 03:11 AMto be fair i have no idea what i'm reading here so i'm talking out my butt mostly.This would be for work and for play for me.
my thought these days is technology has gotten ahead of developers ability to leverage them. to an extent that is because technically few studios are competent enough to push modern hardware. but mostly almost studios have the finacial resourses to put in the time to leverage them.
sony doesn't own all of these studios but they do own a big portion of them. TLoU 2 will be the most "next gen" title for another year i'll bet despite being on ps4. no one can match that kind of attention to detail except maybe rockstar.
a high spec'd pc seems to me to be a waste of money. the best of the best on pc is on consoles. an extra $2200 isn't worth it to me to get the same game at 60 fps...
Quote from: Legend on Oct 22, 2020, 10:36 PMSounds like a nice buy. I really really need a new computer I'm realising but none of the parts I want are available.So far it's been good. I mean, a 2080 is no 3080, but close enough. That i9 though, it's going to be lasting me till next gen at least. But yeah, parts are going up. Without a GPU, I think the best decent thing I could price out was 950 cad. That's with like sales priced items.
I ended up buying a samsung 970 evo 500 gb ssd and plugging it in to the front usb port. It's a really stupid setup but it'll let me get through the next few months. My computer is just generally showing its age but specifically it throttles my hard drives to kilobytes a second. So far the new SSD isn't affected and seemingly my internal SSD isn't affected.
Then once the rtx 3070 and 980 evo are available, I think I'll build a new rig and transfer this SSD over.

I still like that case. But I'm worried it's too big. But going into the mid tower range, I'm not sure what I would want to get.
A lot of them don't seem to have slots for a disc reader. I'm half tempted to get the updated version of the one I bought the first time around. It has a few slots, looks decent to my eyes, and has nice clickable buttons.
I think it's between this and that.

The GPU probably.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 24, 2021, 03:18 PMI did something I probably shouldn't have.Did not know that about region codes.
I opted to buy a blu ray player.
But I also opted to buy a second very cheap DVD player. With the intention I would change the region code on the latter to watch Japanese DVDs.
Fun facts:
Europe and Japan have the same region code 2 for DVDs.
US and Japan have the same region code A for blu rays.
Quote from: Legend on Feb 24, 2021, 03:26 PMDid not know that about region codes.On PC for games I don't. I am planning to do something with my DVD/blu ray movie collection....
This goes against my entire console philosophy, but you still use discs? I have a usb disc drive just in case but otherwise my computer couldn't even fit a disc drive.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 24, 2021, 03:44 PMOn PC for games I don't. I am planning to do something with my DVD/blu ray movie collection....
On console, I have tended to get discs because between the low storage space and slow internet speeds, discs just worked better. Way easier to delete and reinstall from disc when needed.
It's different now though. My internet is so much faster. There were times during the PS3/PS4 era when I would start a full game download only to have it finish 3 days later. Literally that has happened.
I live twice as close to the store, but my internet is so much faster, it's probably faster to download than it is to run to the store. My parents were getting 10 Mbps, in practice it was common to only be getting like 3 Mbps. At this house we are getting 200 Mbps, and it's common to get close to that.
I still get movies on DVDs though. A lot of mine aren't on many/any streaming services. I'm also hesitant to buy movies digitally.
Quote from: Legend on Feb 24, 2021, 05:29 PMI'm sticking to console discs only because I like ownership. They are an inferior experience at this point and I'll admit it. With my fiber internet, I can download a game 3 times faster than I can copy it from a disc. A 50 gb takes ~10 minutes when their servers are being good.my feeling is ownership is a mirage.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 26, 2021, 08:08 PM- MinersI know it's not an issue anymore, but that flood in Taiwan really did a number to memory production. It seems like it never recovered.
- chip shortages on new tech
- RAM shortages I believe
Demand basically has never been higher and supply has probably never been lower.

On Steam I've noticed this a lot with minimum specs. I view minimum specs as "you can play the game at around 30 fps with everything turned to low but still fully enjoy it" while others expect 60 fps, HD+, and medium settings.

Confusingly the 3.2 Gen 1 ports are the same as USB 3.0 ports. My case is using the old naming scheme and my motherboard is using the new one.

Except LG patched that functionality out.
And I accidentally locked myself into the firmware set that patches it out, because the software I was using claimed it was uhd friendly. (Although, that software might have been talking about a custom version, and I thought I'd stick with the official version, only to find out that the official doesn't actually support it)
joy, joy.

It's mostly fine.
So far my complaints are:
- I am not sure where to troubleshoot the internet
- for some reason to change the name of a file, was placed in a sub menu.
- the new paint app, is way too white.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 31, 2022, 01:28 AMOn a related topic it is weird how difficult it is to play a Blu-ray on windows.
VLC Media Player, which is pretty proud of being able to play pretty much everything, requires a lot to play Blu-ray discs. Like 7 steps of adding different files to different locations.
Quote from: SWORDF1SH on Apr 22, 2023, 06:06 PMI need some recommendations for games. Only things I ask is a game that doesn't take a while to get in to, some puzzle elements and on Steam :)7 days to end with you

Quote from: SWORDF1SH on Apr 24, 2023, 07:21 PMThe Talos Principle is £4 on steam right now. If you don't own it, this is one hell of a bargain.I enjoyed that but the demo was glitched for me. Evidence extended off screen so I couldn't see all the hints or change the calendar month.
If anybody likes investigating games, try the demo of Scene Investigators. 1 scene with all the evidence you need to solve the crime with no help from the game at all. It's from the same people that made The Painscreek Killings and can be downloaded here Home | eqstudios.com (https://www.eqstudios.com/)
Quote from: Legend on Apr 24, 2023, 10:04 PMI enjoyed that but the demo was glitched for me. Evidence extended off screen so I couldn't see all the hints or change the calendar month.Great game. I feel bad about my "review" on it because it's one of my favourite games in that genre. Sometimes when you really like a game it's easy to pick on niggly faults that sound worse than they are.
Makes me want to get around to playing painscreek killings. I bought it on the last sale.
Quote from: SWORDF1SH on Apr 26, 2023, 05:12 PMI just bought the Myst bundle. Should keep me busy for a while since I still have a few other games to complete.Which games are in it? I still need to buy 4 and 5.
Quote from: SWORDF1SH on Apr 26, 2023, 05:20 PMMyst, Riven, 3, 4, 5 , URU, and realMyst. Cost £24Oh lame that it includes multiple copies of myst. I don't own it on Steam so the bundle would cost way more than buying 4 and 5 separately.
You can pick up 4 and 5 for around £10 (probably around $12 in US)
Quote from: Legend on Apr 26, 2023, 06:32 PMOh lame that it includes multiple copies of myst. I don't own it on Steam so the bundle would cost way more than buying 4 and 5 separately.Almost just bought Riven, 3, 4 and 5 separately instead of bundle because I already played the first one on Game Pass when I had a month sub for £1. Bought bundle because I want to try and get my boy to have a go to for a few extra quid I got the bundle. Not even sure what URU is and if any good. Is it a full on game or some weird "thing"?
Will wait for another sale since I already have a backlog of other games.

Quote from: SWORDF1SH on May 14, 2023, 05:10 PMI just downloaded a game called Number 217721 and after a minute of playing I had to turn it off because the game doesn't let you cap the framerate so my GPU was running at a constant 95%+. Will this do any damage to the GPU for an extended amount of time and is there an a option to cap the frames outside of the game? I did see options to set the max GPU usage and max heat within the GeForce app but would rather cap the frames.Unless your pc is setup improperly it shouldn't damage it.

It may shorten the life of your GPU, but they generally have protection against overheating.
In that case, you might see something shut down.
Depends on the GPU.
80-85C is generally what you want. There are some GPUs that are often higher, closer to 90C during typical running.

Quote from: Legend on May 14, 2023, 06:18 PMNothing crazy lol.So if anything I should worry more about the CPU because that relies more on installing it properly?
I run my gpu at its limits pretty much every day during game dev. It's really not something to worry about. Did a quick test and couldn't get above 81C.
I like that GPUs are self contained so I never really worry. My CPU however, oh boy was I paranoid for a while that it was too hot.
Quote from: SWORDF1SH on May 14, 2023, 06:29 PMOn another note, we are having new windows and the window fitter broke my monitor, which was a 1080p monitor, and didn't say a word. So today I bought a new monitor which is 4k. That's another reason I was worried about the GPU because of the extra load of running at a higher res. I don't think I've ever heard my fans until today lol.If you built the pc yourself sure, but it's a paranoia more than a valid fear.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 31, 2022, 01:28 AMBoth of my drives (DVD and Blu-ray drive) seem to be failing in one sense or the otherMy slim bluray drive might be failing. There were a few DVDs that have issues. When I open them up on MakeMKV I get a lot of scsi errors. On my slim LG drive, the drive literally dies and I have to eject. My external Pioneer UHD drive reads them fine, though it still gives the scsi errors. I think it might be a power issue, but still.
Blu ray drive still reads DVDs just fine, but I was having trouble reading a brand new Blu-ray of Avatar. Still kind of working, but not very well.
The DVD drive was even worse. Immediately ejects any disc, asking for me to insert a disc. Seems to think a disc is some kind of foreign object or something.
Kind of feel like the drives were tampered with, by a certain toddler...
Replaced the DVD drive with a new Blu ray drive. Seems to be reading Avatar just fine now.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 04, 2024, 09:58 PMBeen looking into throwing together a server for cheap, mostly because I want expandable storage for cheap.I personally wouldn't Raid anything. I like the advantage of just being able to migrate one drive to another. Raid kinda kills that.
Got a server with a bunch of HDDs that work was throwing away.
I think I'm going to throw out the server stuff, and keep the HDDs, wipe them.
Build a new server for ~$500.
I've been looking into Unraid vs Raid 6.
The nice thing about Unraid is that you can combine different sized drives. But you lose out on the speed that Raid has.

What kind of stuff are you syncing?
Quote from: Legend on Dec 24, 2024, 08:00 PMMaybe the root of my problem is that I'm surprised how slow transferring files from SSD to SSD is. I thought local syncthing would be fine because ~800 mbps would transfer any daily changes pretty quickly but I was only getting ~30 mbps.How were you transferring the files from SSD to SSD?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 24, 2024, 08:37 PMHow were you transferring the files from SSD to SSD?I assumed it was a bottleneck caused by thousands of small files because steam downloads over wifi an order of magnitude faster, but maybe it is the router.
~30 MBps sounds like a connection issue to me, even HDD speeds are faster than that. I think I get that kind of speed when I'm transferring data through wifi.
80 to 100 Mbps when transferring via ethernet.

Quote from: Legend on Feb 13, 2025, 04:01 PMWindows sucks so much. I thought I had killed auto updates on my laptop, but nope. Overnight it restarted itself and threw away some work.I'm pretty sure I just had the same last night. I made some updates to my contract work i was on and I guess I hadn't fully hit save and put my PC to sleep. Project was shut and lost a few little things I thought I saved. Frickin windows.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 19, 2025, 12:59 AMI've screwed up my RAID like twice now. The drive that I added a while ago wasnt showing as part of the RAID. Even though it was working properly. I readded it back in, and it instantly knew it was supposed to be part of the RAID.I have been having a lot of issues with this drive.
Then I messed up again, when I added the newest drive. It spent like 5 days building. I restarted and it wasn't showing the expanded space, and it wasn't showing that the RAID was expanded.
Readded it in, and it starts building. And I came back like 7 hours later, it's already 40% done.
It's going a lot faster, but it's causing issues with Plex and other things. The other drives are running at like 99% during the rebuild process. Struggling to play videos at the moment.
I think I have it resolved by setting a limit by how fast it can rebuild.

Quote from: Legend on Mar 12, 2025, 11:06 PMYou've got all your movies so it makes sense.Internal drive, cost me $55. (A lot of people still get $400 4k players.)
I don't know the last time I used a PC disc. Maybe playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 10 years ago?
Do you have an internal drive or is it usb?
Quote from: Legend on Feb 13, 2025, 05:46 PMI changed my active hours to be 12 AM to 12 AM. Let's see if that stops it. The other changes I made to disable it were seemingly reverted or ignored.I think it worked!
Yeah the lost work isn't too much real work, but the primary issue is that I lose all my incognito tabs. I had ~50 open for various things I was in the middle of researching. Maybe I just need to switch that habit and keep those tabs open another way that doesn't clutter my day to day tabs.
