I don't know what else you are running, but I just bought an NZXT H1 that comes with a SF550 PS in it. Of course it only takes single PCI-E slot Mini ITX Mobos but there are people running them with 2080Ti's and 3900Xs; just be sure the current power supply won't support whatever it is you...

Turing was an Intel-like push for Nvidia, which is one of the reasons prices went up, because they stuffed more stuff on the same chips since they stated on the same process size, IIRC. I paid $699 for my Founders edition 1080Ti at launch and $999 for my 2080Ti before and after the Bitcoin...

Well, I am not asking you to take my word for it, nor am I saying that "AMD RULEZ". Per the leaks AMD is going to be competitive for the time in a decade, and that is finally forcing NVidia to step up their game. AMD's new cards are going to smoke the last gen, means that NVidia is going to...

Follow Moore's Law Is Dead (Moore's Law is Dead YouTube Channel) . Same guy runs the Broken Silicon podcast. Dude is plugged in and does excellent analysis. Here is his Video for 3080/Ampere Nvidia 3080 Ti & Ampere FULL Leak: 7nm EUV & 18Gbps needed to Defeat AMD RDNA 2 but don't go all in...

Blizzard/WoW got so big that it snuffed out all competitors and drove everyone else into the mobile game market. What killed MMO's without a specific platform purpose like GW2, (which we were lucky to get in the West, a few years later and we wouldn't have gotten it, I don't think) was...

So this game is great. Its super deep, I am finding, and way beyond the Civ-seeming surface. The intra-Civ family dynamics are important: You have to keep the number of cities each one has in balance at this point or they will start to get an Envy malus. They care about which troops get made...

What? I paid like $225 in the first kickstarter in 2012. Fake edit: All of my stuff is in my hangar, I got the "Rear Admiral" package. Real edit: Whooooaaa, they have raised $285 milllllliiioon dollars for this? I may have to download and give this a try.

Just to be clear, when people talk about Jonathan Nolan's script for Interstellar and what was made into the movie for Interstellar, those are two entirely different things. Jonathan wrote the script for Steven Spielberg but it was an almost entirely different plot, with many completely...

I really liked the original script as well; it was a totally different beast but great on its own terms.

This just really gets my goat when people say "UGH love" and treat it like people writing poems to each other, as if they are SO beyond "the cheese" and then don't hear any of the arguments the movie makes about it NOT being that. Well, sophisticates, don't think about rock songs and holding...

I can't wrap my mind around all of the possibilities this opens up; some are obvious, others are not. That's it. We'll know it when it gets here. We'll see if he can pull this off. All signs point to yes, however.

I watch it on Hulu but I have Live TV. You can just buy the Season on Amazon and watch them there the next day after they first air (May 18th for the Vat of Acid episode, for instance).

That's the thing, I wasn't expecting this episode to be much, and then out of the blue, *BLAM*. My wife wakes up and says, "Why is this shitty music playing?" and I had to yell something at her just to not lose the moment. Home run. Now next week they can go back to Ice/Water T and "SHOW ME...

So like many people in Southeast Texas in Springtime, I am suffering from what I thought were allergies; woke up last Monday morning gasping for air. Gasping in the time of Corona is not thing to do, so I made my way to the local urgent care after calling first because my PCP is a...

I think that is the best statement/summation of the issue I have seen overall. That early MMOs were emulating Table top campaigns vs new MMOs were are trying to provide the framework to get to raiding in early MMOs is a keen insight. There isn't a great sense of *place* in any of these new...

Remember when Hollywood made kind of middling fare? I remember in the 80's growing up there were all of these movies that weren't blockbusters or competing in the blockbuster space that were just kind of mid-budget "good" movies. National Treasure seems like it would fall into that rank for...

I made the mistake of not getting my own Switch early on and as a result the number of Nintendo games I have completed in the last few years is in the single digits; I want another now so my kids don't have to share with **each other**. I always expected them to have another "console" out by...

Sorry, one of each for my kids and one of each for me.

When are they going to be back in stock is the bigger question. I would have bought another one at the beginning of the lockdown had I known they were going to be so unavailable. For NextGen, my purchasing strategy is: Two of each. I long ago got over being choosy. MS exclusives, though...

Arson investigators found they started in three different places almost simultaneously. Its a far more neat narrative if the government set the fires but that's not what I believe happened in this case. I think the Davidians thought they were being overwhelmed by the APCs, which were modified...

Well, of course; do we really need to talk about how horrible it is that they senselessly murdered almost a hundred people, including 25 (fake edit: Google says 26) children (IIRC? I get the number of kids between Waco and OKC mixed up, its eerie how close they were to each other, among other...

The Davidians weren't a suicidal group. I don't think they didn't set the fires to burn themselves to death; I believe they set the fires defensively to keep the APCs back. There is reportedly audio snippets captured from the Davidians about "pouring the gasoline" etc. and with the holes...

In that documentary, they think that there are sharpshooters behind the compound shooting down into Mount Carmel on the side from which the press was kept away. Many of those died in the fire actually died of bullet wounds rather than smoke inhalation or burns. The coroner decided in these...

So I haven't watched this for a variety of reasons but I spent the middle to late 90's working as a research assistant to one of the nation's leading academic authorities about what happened at Waco, Dr. Stuart Wright. Dr. Wright's area of specialty was New Religious Movements, more...

I don't know about that. Galaxy's Edge was sucking at the parks even before COVID; the toys, which made more money than the movies (7b vs. 4b) haven't sold a damn thing, and TLJ and ROS made Far, Far away less money than they were hoping for; it hasn't lost money but it didn't make very much in...

My kids, big OT and Prequel Trilogy fans, can't be assed to put the new movies on at all. For the record, I don't hate the Force Awakens but its a "soft reboot"/shot-for shot remake with lots of poor choices and wasted opportunity, in hindsight, particular after the Last Jedi, which can DIAF...

It's almost like Nostalgia + China=Box Office. That plus one great scene with Darth Vader is the whole movie. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like that they brought back the original Rebel fleet, it's got some good scenes but it isn't a good movie at all. It's tied for 3rd best of the KK movies...

You should listen to Billy Corrigan's JRE; I have way more appreciation of him as a person and Smashing Pumpkins as a band after hearing that. I don't think that anything they did is overrated but sometimes, people are more excited about an artist's first work, or the first work in which they...

But let's be real: Those later Herbert books aren't going to make it to the big screen without major, MAJOR changes. Going from [Edited for stupid mistake] Max von Synow to what will probably be a lesbian black woman, though? I bow to no one in my love of Dennis' movie making but this change...

I am here to read about how they are killing one franchise, (again) not to spill over into how they ended another so poorly.

Now show me pictures of the other ~3,499,995 other registered voters in Wisconsin and we might have a deal.

I have it as 1 as well.

I was well and truly shocked by The King in a good way, all I knew about Chalamet was the Italian gay lover movie; and after watching the King, I think he is going to be good in this. He does need to fill out a little bit but I don't think that will be an issue for the movie.

These three movies should have been the easiest 7 billion that Disney ever made. Instead we got "Reskinned Memberberries", "Fuck You The Star Wars edition" and finally "Who Gives a FUCK, A Starwars Story". Now a whole division of IP is a smoldering ruin and we need 3-5 years off from it to...

This was meh/ok to good, I'm sorry they skipped another book in the series to go right to the end of the books. I should put this on my list to read, as the world seems great. The actor playing Poe and the character are amazing; The "side" cast and Kinneman was my favorite bit about the first...

It's amazing that they made something that was so good on the surface and such a nothing long term. Danger of the Small team/Kickstarter Syndrome? It seems, and I haven't played it long enough to experience this myself but I hear ok things about it that No Man's Sky made a comeback later on...

HAHAHA I am one of those people who has to be worried about surviving, a diabetic with a compromised immune system and two kids; do I get to be worried about being culled?

Exactly! "Woke" isn't making a female-lead superhero movie. These are the same "women-haters" who made Ripley, Sarah Conner, Blade, Trinity, etc. icons for decades. These money people in Hollywood, though, are tied to formula, and pattern of hits, and if they haven't seen something like "X" in...
