UltraMega

It says 64 bit right here, at 7 seconds in to the video.

Is this K8? Not that familiar with older AMD CPUs.

Pentium D and Pentium 4 work. Everything that can run 7 can run 10. That's really all there is to it.

The thread you linked didn't mention a specific CPU, just some instruction set. And not for nothing, but some thread from 2014 isn't exactly meaningful evidence of anything. Just search for a video of windows 10 running on these parts you've mentioned. Again, I have installed 10 on a Core 2 Duo and even weaker CPUs. I know it works.

The thread you just linked doesn't say that any particular CPU won't work with windows 10, just that it's not a 64-bit CPU. The core 2 Duo CPU that was in my mom's PC at the time was a 32-bit CPU. It would not work with windows 10 64-bit but worked fine with 32-bit. Perhaps you tried to install the 64-bit version of windows 10 on this older hardware? The 32 and 64 bit versions are separate installers.

IDK what to tell you, maybe there was some other issue in the way when you last tried to run windows 10 on any of those CPUs. Window 10 absolutely works on those CPUs.

I have literally upgraded a core 2 duo PC from 7 to 10, they don't lack anything required to run windows 10. It was my moms PC. I built it. I can assure you it works. x86 has nothing to do with it. Windows 10 supports both 32-bit and x86/64-bit.

This is already a thing. There are plenty of videos out there already using this kind of tech to make tier lists narrated by Trump and Biden on youtube.

Windows 10 should be able to run on anything windows 7 can run on. I know I have installed windows 10 on a Core 2 Duo CPU. Even Pentium 4 can run windows 10. Athlon64 X2 can also run windows 10, I just searched for it on youtube and saw videos of windows 10 running on a Pentium 4 and an Athlon64 X2. Every PC that runs windows 7 can be upgraded to 10, and the upgrade is still free despite reports that it isn't. It's the last windows OS to support 32 bit. Windows 10 can run on PCs that it really shouldn't, but it's no worse than 7 on older machines. I think you would have to go pack to Pentium 3 to find hardware that windows 10 won't run on, but neither will 7.

Looks like this being made by a Russian mod team, so... ya know... probably not much Rockstar can do to stop them. But it's also due out in 2025, and supposedly "it will be a completely different game, in a completely different city." You might wanna move this out of the news section since it's just an announcement for a mod that's still over a year away and may never release, or may just end up as a vice city inspired asset flip.

Probably not really many or any games that will run on windows 7 but not 10/11. The only game I've ever had trouble with on 10 was F.E.A.R. but I found a simple fix for it online and got it working. That game was originally for XP anyway tho.

I feel it Looking forward to you joining the 7900 club.

When do you expect to be up and running with the new parts?

Nvidia skimping on ram is what pushed me to AMD. I had a 1080Ti at the time which is an 11GB card, got it for $700 back when it was the best gaming card money could buy. When the 2000 series came out and the 2080Ti was so much more expensive but hardly any faster for raster, and didn't even come with an upgrade on the Vram, I felt like going with AMD was the only thing that made sense. I didn't want to go from an 11Gb card to another 11GB card, or a card with even less ram if I wanted to spend about the same amount on a new card as I did on the 1080Ti. Going with AMD meant I could get more Vram and spend less than I did before. Seemed like a no-brainer. But this was also peak covid GPU shortage time and I was also just lucky enough to get a card at MSRP from AMDs website. Lot of other stuff going on in the market at that time. That said, I think it's pretty unlikely Nvidia could get away with a third gen of GPUs that don't up the Vram.

As I understand it, the persuasion system is based on your persuasion level + some RNG, with each option having a different value and likeliness of success. The actual text is completely irrelevant, and you can choose the exact same options and get different outcomes. I think during development, the game was probably a lot more of a survival game. Remnants of systems that have no reason to be in the game if they hadn't had a larger scope at some point seem to suggest a lot was left out for the sake of making the game more accessible. The game has a fuel system, an environmental debuf system, and at least half a dozen other systems that just don't really do anything meaningful. I wonder if they wanted to make a survival and exploration based game sort of like Valheim but pivoted when they realized they hadn't made anything interesting to explore, and hadn't fleshed out the mechanics of the game enough for the survival to be good. Perhaps they thought the scope of the game would ballon if they were to add the content needed to make exploration meaningful, so they cut their losses and over-simplified any survival aspects of the game. If the exploration were actually good and there were interesting planets to go to, the game could have had a solid survival based aspect where a player could go to a planet and use the outpost system and crafting system to build a base for the purpose of survival. In Valheim, it makes sense to build different bases in different biomes to make it easier to process the items you can get in each biome, and Starfield could have made that an engaging part of the game. As it is, I don't really get what the point of the outpost system is beyond just farming for XP. It seems like most of the pieces are probably already there, and it wouldn't be that hard to tweak the game into a much more survival focused game. Makes me wonder if a mod or expansion/update will eventually aim to do that.

I don't think the fact that Bethesda decided to reply to reviews has much to do with it. It did seem to entice a few people to leave a negative review, but I think the score was already heading in this direction which is why they started responding at all. The score on the Xbox app isn't much better. I did enjoy the game for a while even tho it was disappointing. It's not a bad game compared to an average game, but it's a bad game for one that tried to be a once in a blue moon major Bethesda title. I think it just took a while for people to form their opinion since players needed to see for themselves that there wasn't anything interesting to find in all that empty space.

I think now that people have had time with the game, it's really starting to set in that this game felt like a bait and switch. Bait being the Skyrim level of quality and engagement people hoped for, and the switch being Bethesda's attempt at a procedurally generated RPG. A friend of mine who really loved Skyrim was hooked on Starfield for a while until he finally realized it was never going to be more than just a remix of the same assets everywhere, and then he went back to Skyrim

Maybe they can get all the way up to GeForce 1060 level performance this time

You should check this out: https://www.pinballx.com/ Go to the forum and look at the user projects section. I ran into a few pretty detailed guides in various places when I was looking around and I even can across a site selling some of the most custom parts like the big round buttons and the score board display. I don't remember exactly where they were but I'm sure you can find them.

We have those here, one chain business that does it is called Dave and Busters. I've been to one not too long ago. Tried to play some Dance Dance Revolution which I used to be good at as a kid and immediately reehow old and out of shape I am now, haha. Good times.

This particular machine has so much going on in it. Apparently, an old school pinball machine would give the player a free game if they beat the previous high score, and when that happens, the machine releases the ball and makes a loud pop or something like that... and this machine has something that emulates that and it's super loud. At first I had no idea what it was but the customer knew. These things go to extremes to simulate all the clicks and clacks from an OG machine. That said, it wouldn't be hard to setup something very similar without all the extra effects. The software is called PinballX, you can find it online, and I'm pretty sure it would work with a standard controller. I know you're not seriously asking, but if I was gonna make something like this, it could be done for way less than these things sell for (like 15k) because the core experience is really just the PC, a horizontal TV, and some buttons. There are hobbyist who build these things themselves, but they tend to go for the full package with all the extra do-dads.

I mean, it would make sense to replace the older PC parts just to prevent future failures. The hardware is already old, and I wanted to replace it purely to keep it working longer. I thought about trying to upgrade it to a 4K TV and windows 10 but the TV is a 40 inch and it's actually impossible to find a 40 inch 4K TV now. I used to have one that I sold a few years back so they do exist, but these days you can only buy 43 inches and up. Anything smaller and they're all 1080p.
