  1. If you just want a game that's a little less intense but is still getting community event updates 6 years after launch and while the community is waiting for the second game to be released, you might wanna try Dying Light. https://youtu.be/TLwBNfGoXDc
  2. Seems it has issues with copper. Scroll down the comments to Nite Hawk(9 months ago) and you'll see what I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcH41LpfFt8
  3. Microsoft is more concerned now with their products that are services Such as Office 365 and Xbox Game Pass. Those are 2 money making areas for them, and Game Pass is already available on Xbox,PC,Android,and iOS,so I can see them being available on the Steam OS. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-mobile-intro And THIS from Steams page says it's likely to allow it...
  4. ROTFL, I had this image of everyone pointing @ENTERPRISE and going "SHAME! SHAME!" and making him add a big Red "S" to his Profile.

  6. yeah,from the looks the 512GB drives for it seem to go between $115 and $140.
  7. Hmmm,I wonder what the odds are they were stripped before cases were crushed and parts sold off in a separate auction? Crushing done for public reaction on how tough we are on criminals etc.,etc.,....
  8. nice,when my logitech F710 started having some whacked out drift,I said the heck with it and went back to wired since I was sitting at the desk playing anyway and got this cheap 1 https://www.walmart.com/ip/PowerA-Enhanced-Wired-Controller-for-Xbox-Series-X-S-Blue/740384953 actually works & feels pretty nice. lol
  9. the link streamed ok, it was the Controller they were so gungho about that I couldn't get a feel for. Was bigger than my xbox and my logitech F710 wireless ones plus it was plastic and had no real "feel" to it.(other than cheap) When I paired the link with a different controller,it wasn't bad.lol, I still have a comp with a i7 2600 and a gtx 970 hooked up to the same tv,so it really makes no sense for me to even bother using the link. what won't play straight off that comp,can usually stream off my main rig using the old 1. Both have nvidia cards so that helps also.
  10. OMG! I know, They lost me hardware wise when I bought the Steam Link setup at half price and found out what junk it was. Worst $50 I ever wasted. Edit: Ok.$47.00 lol
  11. yeah,I think before I dropped that kinda cash on that,I'd get Game Pass on android(I'm already paying for game pass ultimate so no added subscription price) How to Set Up Xbox Game Streaming and Play Games on Your Phone | Digital Trends WWW.DIGITALTRENDS.COM Want to play your Xbox One games on a phone no matter where you are? You can do so with Xbox Remote Play and a mobile device. Here's...
  12. was navy, now he does off shore robot sub. They do explorations and ck off shore rigs also. usually out 6-9 weeks at a time,and the wifi is satellite so they have to watch how much they're using or it bogs it down for the other guys. lol He use to take his notebook,but it got to where between the wifi and the graphics the pc gaming out there wasn't worth the effort. Now he pretty much does console gaming when he comes in.(I have a grandaughter who also plays on the console with him. )
  13. I could ALMOST see my 40y/o son buying this for when he's off shore,but then you have the whole lack of bandwidth issue for the games if he's gonna play while out there.
  14. @Diffident Here's some 80's for ya...
  15. not just Apple,some Chrome books also had proprietary wifi only they could replace.If you replaced it with a different 1 the bios wouldn't recognize it.
  16. Also BattlEye, Microsoft seems to have had a problem updating some insiders builds that were running with it installed according to this article. If you love playing Call of Duty games, don’t upgrade to Windows 11 yet KNOWTECHIE.COM If you love playing online games like Call of Duty, you might want to wait until the official version of Windows 11 is out to upgrade.
  17. Because they hope the new OS will have performance increases? usually,and PUBG recognized that,but activision is being kinda 'We don't KNOW it was BE not recognizing the new OS configuration..." lol, No, that's the gaming companies running software to detect cheats already if you wanna play the game. Kinda like Sony with the DRM software.....

However, for now its users will still use the... Some may have been from forced installs,but it just shows that there's gonna be issues until everybody's in line with this. I ran across this set of comics I felt was perfect for every windows upgrade since 98SE. ROTFL
  19. Yeah, with any luck it'll keep getting the kind of "extended shelf life" that windows xp got after the "official" end. 17 1/2 years if you used the registry hack... Microsoft’s Windows XP Finally Dead: Last Embedded Version Reaches EOL WWW.ANANDTECH.COM
  20. lol, looks like my i7 2600 doesn't have to worry about "movin on up..." Planned obsolescence strikes again.
  21. I mostly read ScFi /Fantasy and when I found myself re-reading the xanth collection while waiting for a new release from 1 of the few authors I follow who are still alive I actually subscribed to kindle unlimited. Alot of the offerings are kinda fluff, but I read an average of a book a day or every 2 days so for the price,it was worth it for me. This article is pretty good at describing Amazons 2 offerings and the cost of each along with the pro's & cons. https://www.hookedtobooks.com/kindle-unlimited-vs-prime-reading/ As to some suggestions from MY collections, I'd say Glen Cooks Black Company series(9 main,2 splinter books),Piers Anthony's Incarnation's Of Immortality series(Incarnations of Immortality is the name of an eight-book fantasy series by Piers Anthony. The books each focus on one of eight supernatural "offices" (Death, Time, Fate, War, Nature, Evil, Good, and Night) in a fictional reality and history parallel to ours, with the exception that society has advanced both magic and modern technology. The series covers the adventures and struggles of a group of humans called "Incarnations", who hold these supernatural positions for a certain time.) Mercedes Lackey her Heralds Of Valdemar series(38 novels so far... and 14 anthologies) , her 500 Kingdoms series(6 full length books & a short story), and her Elemental masters series(16 full novels & 2 anthologies) are all rather good. For your detective fix, I recommend trying the Garret P.I. series by Glen Cook 14 books. "Garrett P.I. is a series of fantasy novels by American writer Glen Cook about Garrett, a freelance private investigator. The novels are written in a hard-boiled detective fiction style, with elements of traditional mystery and dialogue-based humor. Garrett, during his adventures in his home city of TunFaire and across Karenta and the Cantard, has to deal with elves, vampires, centaurs, trolls, and numerous mixed breeds, along with gods, wizards, witches and more." <--- from Wikipedia....
  22. I had to enable the trusted platform stuff in my cpu,but now I'm Windows 11 ready on THIS comp.(my dell fails because secure boot is turned off and I think it'll still fail because the cpu is 2nd gen i7. I'm including a zipped version of the Windows pc health ck'er that has the Windows upgrade ck'er in it if anyone wants to try it. WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.zip
