    The Fast Food Thread

    lol, no it isn't. It's about the instinctual drive to go into a fat and corn based food coma.

    Did you have a pile of boot disks for running different games? With different colored labels? I wrote a batch file menuing system for launching all my games and it told you which color boot disk you had to insert and reboot.

    Taught myself BASIC on a TRS80 but didn't get my first real computer until my 486 50mhz. That computer was a Packard Bell piece of fucking shit, and the entire reason I know anything about PCs is because I constantly had to fuck with it just to get it to run any games. I deleted Windows 3.1...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    If I had to venture a wild guess, I'd say the ex-Crytek guys in Frankfurt convinced Chris to stop bleeding resources across the board and focus on getting the assets built so that the single player game can get out the door. People on other teams probably aren't happy about it. Or maybe he...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    If SQ42 flops or never ships, they're done. I think they might be counting on shipping a single player/maybe co-op Mass Effect clone a little too heavily though. Without all the blue waifus and space magic, it's not going to appeal to the same crowd. They might not sell as many copies as...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    This is not completely true. Most single player games are just a server instance that runs locally, and the game is a client that connects to the local server. All Cryengine games are like this. All the work they've done with enabling solar system sized map sizes through adding the double...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Derek Smart is literally a crazy person who is well known for ranting about bullshit. Most of that article is him quoting himself. The fact that Chris Roberts got the money to make Derek Smart's dream game, while the industry has been laughing at Derek Smart for 2-3 decades now, just pushes...

    Yeah, there's a lot of shit you could do differently, but I put together best, easiest build I could for that budget. If you wanted, you could just put a 980ti in there right now and be all set for high res gaming for 2-3 years, if you're willing to drop the money on the monitor now.

    Yeah, if someone picks the parts out, assembling it is braindead simple. You don't need liquid cooling.

    Also, generic power supplies scare the fuck out of me. Putting an expensive CPU with a cheap video card is a huge waste, unless you're planning on using that machine for something very CPU intensive later on.

    You'd need more than 1 interceptor within range to do that. One's on other continents aren't going to help.

    Does a desktop really need wifi? You're better off buying from superbiiz and having them assemble it. Fuck Cyberpower, they have the worst support ever.

    I mean characters locked to a server, so people can't bring outside characters in.

    Agree 100%. Fun is for pussies, get that value. Unfortunately, I am not being sarcastic here. In my defense, the only hobbies I can afford to have are income-generating hobbies.

    I keep friendly relationships with my neighbors to make up for the fact that my stepfather was an asshole to them the entire time he lived there. Sometimes this even involves the baking of cookies.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Eh, it happened rather quickly. I'm talking like weeks. Your mom getting locked in a fucking looney bin is a lot more of a major life crisis than all the random bullshit 'wah some boy/girl I like blah blah' I had put up with from them. And I wasn't even all that depressed until AFTER I...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I used to have what I thought were great friends, but they bailed on me/moved on with their lives when I was at my lowest point after my mom tried to kill herself about 11 years ago. I haven't been able to find any kind of happiness since.

    He served his time... for a plea deal he was likely pressured into, for a crime he committed when he was 18. Even I think this is bullshit. Being a registered sex offender has never been a disqualification for having a DCI number before from what I am aware.

    Z170 seems like a pretty significant upgrade as a chipset over Z97. Amazon's deals on computer parts are rarely that great.
