    Anyone crying about not getting a new NVIDIA card on day1 can get fucked. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    It'll be great. It'll usher a new era of high-demand electronics, and this strategy is a solidly proven approach.

    Guarantee most of the purchases are made by professional scalpers who have the tools, contacts and motivation to finalize a purchase action faster than consumers.

    They should take a demand-centric pricing scheme to defeat scalpers and miners. Start the $ at 3x their current price and reduce it as stock scales up to meet demand. Let's see how many miners / scalpers want to buy an RTX 3080 tomorrow at $2100 when it's going to be $1400 in a month and $700 on...

    These machines make me want to try water cooling again. I still have all my radiators / connectors and it's been long enough that I've forgotten how annoying it is to do.

    My pc is in the unfinished half of my basement of my new house and winter is coming. The hotter these things run the better!

    Was my first thought too. I don't have any kind of education to even surmise it, but I just imagine that biological markers are only high confidence within a narrow set of assumptions.

    Depending on the couple and length of dating, 2.5 years is well beyond the honeymoon period.

    When your wife says...

    I remember the first trip I took with my wife. We had to leave the hotel room at 8AM sharp to hit our schedule. At 7AM she started getting ready. At 7:15AM was the first time she asked me if I was going to get ready. At 7:30AM she began getting distressed I was still in bed. At 7:45AM she was...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I don't have a comment on whether the Mage is worth the effort, but when I did the mage epic on live a couple years ago I was blown away by how much more bullshit the mage had than the other epics I had done. I've done almost all of them now and I guess I've missed most of the difficult ones...

    Guild Wars 2

    I made a promise to myself to just vendor everything I get in the game instead of wasting time trying to use anything. We'll see how long it lasts.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Using spawn times as a gating mechanic to introduce difficulty is the most boring of options. Next TLP should have an option with mobs having double damage, double health and being immune to charm, among other things.

    Guild Wars 2

    rolled up a level 9 rev and then switched back to my 80 elementalist. I'm playing with some folks who rolled up a new character. Some of them are uhh, less experienced gamers and if I push my DPS (especially on my level 80 elementalist) they'll never get a swing in before everything explodes...

    Had the same situation. I gave up hope until the original owner found me randomly.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I play on live for the expansion. Will probably skip this next one though unless it's surprisingly content-rich. Will almost certainly play the next one.

    shit like this is why that extra RAM in a GPU is super desirable for me. I don't know or even trust the requirements they state here and you just never know when these texture packs will blow up the VRAM usage.

    The Astronomy Thread

    At this point I view any of the ambitious SLS / ULA contracts with extreme skepticism. When they experience delays and budget overruns while producing what is increasingly become an outclassed product, it's just another nail in the coffin and I don't know if a reorganization can solve the core...

    What's funny is how cost effective consumer gaming cards are it's hard to justify that bullshit. The jetson stuff is hot though. NVIDIA Embedded Systems for Next-Gen Autonomous Machines

    Guild Wars 2

    Haha. It's a lot of work trying to close the loop with people in a large guild when you're keeping the roster clean but thinking about people logging in a decade later and being greeted with an old boot message is somehow worth it.

    They should release with a 50% markup for the first couple months and be up front about it just to fuck over scalpers.

    Guild Wars 2

    I've returned to quite a few games after years of not playing and GW2 is no different. You load in and there is all this bullshit you kinda remember, and a lot more bullshit you don't. Game still looks beautiful though, and the controls feel good. I can't believe how broke I left my...

    Installing now. Paid $15 for the expansions or whatever thanks to the Honey browser extension. I feel like I'm ripping off ArenaNet so I'll probably probably buy some bullshit from them.

    The Witcher: Monster Slayer

    Interesting. I enjoyed PoGo but didn't like the direction they took. I had a lot of grievances but probably the biggest problem I had with it is that it motivated players to pretty much just go to densely packed areas and camp out instead of traveling, tracking and hunting pokemon. Would be...

    I always prioritize gpu / system memory because I regularly find myself wanting to play some modded game with ridiculous and unoptimized texture sizes. These get ridiculous pretty fast, but once you walk through the photorealistic and highly detailed textures it's worth it and other games that...

    Dual Universe - Sci-Fi MMORPG

    I wonder how pissed these game devs are that Star Citizen is suckign all the air from the room in both customer funding and media while creating an incredibly beautiful engine they can't compete with visually but can actually create a game (maybe).

    Path of Exile

    as someone who has only briefly played PoE a few times over the last whenever years, this looks like someone is throwing fruit loops at my screen :D It's probably more meaningful to top-level players but I remmeber wishing there was a way to reduce the screen clutter at the higher levels.

    Recovering old EQ characters

    Another option is cycling through your old credit card #s. Server merges muddy the process a bit because your character might be renamed. Customer service is motivated to help because almost all their new subs come from returning players. Almost all current EQ players took many-year breaks and...
