  1. with the amount of mining farms they allow to run in their own country,you expect them to worry about being eco-friendly in SPACE? ?
  2. wait, the article says "There remains "little association" between technology use and mental-health problems" but later has a link to a study that says "Teenagers' mental health is being damaged by heavy social media use, a report has found." Don't you have to use tech to access social media?
  3. (The whole Agents Of Fortune album is awesome,So is Fire of Unknown Origin) Had to throw in a track with Patti Smith on it also.
  4. Well, Considering I've purchased games on sale CHEAPER straight from ubisoft's site and from CDKeys then just put the code in on steams site. latest example was Destiny 2's Beyond Light Deluxe Edition. Shown are the prices it sells on Steam for,AND the price I bought it for from CDKeys. Also the link from steam to add keys purchased elsewhere. I think you'll see I managed a pretty good savings.I've also bought keys straight from ubi,and used them on other sites.Oh,I added a pic of the content in my library in case anyone wondered if the key worked.
  5. If you already own the original,from what I'm gathering the enhanced edition is a free update. ? makes me think there might actually be more than just 1 game company who takes care of their user base.The other I had in mind being Techland with Dying Light.? https://www.pcgamer.com/metro-exodus-enhanced-edition-is-free-for-existing-owners-but-needs-some-serious-hardware-to-run/
  6. Damn! I gotta update a game I haven't even played yet! ? Looks awesome! Edit: Went to update, found out this in case anyone else interested. "The ray tracing exclusive version of the game comes out on May 6."
  7. Not only that,but I can actually get new hardware (even with the shortages) easier than my wife who's a console gamer.We got her an xbox at release,but STILL haven't managed a ps5.(I refuse to pay scalper rates!)
  8. ? Another example..... Those of us gaming on PC "Aren't fooling anyone..." ?
  9. Meh,he'll have people's estates trying to sue for "unsafe travel conditions" or some such. ?
  10. I figured I'd give replicating his issue a try using his link(I normaly just use a bookmark to come to the home page) It loaded right up as usual for me.See the screenshot.Edit: That's with me logged in already and ABP on.
  11. Being the true scalper/dirtbag I am, I'll offer you a TRUE work horse cpu in exchange for those 2 so-so work gpu's. 1 intel q6600 never overclocked... ? Edit: My conscience is bothering me about taking advantage of you,so I'll throw in a Pentium D 630 to make it more fair.... ?
  12. Give them credit,Techland hasn't left us twiddling our thumbs while we wait for them to get dying light 2 done up right.?
  13. AliExpress: "We have this new source for Human Stem cells,they are perfectly safe..." Customer after purchase: "Hey hon,can you scratch under my tail for me?I can't reach that far..."
  14. lol, I keep trying the giveaways, but it seems I was ALOT luckier here than on other sites! ? (I think the random picker here liked me,I won twice) As for evga, still hoping...
  15. lol,everybody posting their new video cards,and I'm going to Wally World in the morning for a new printer.... ? Somehow my equipment feels justified wanting to know when it's gonna get splurged on.
  16. Eehhh The footrest is So-so. You can feel it flex when U put your legs on it.(only 2 screws in each plastic bracket that hold it on each side.2 brackets total.) I think if they'd either used metal brackets,or an extra set right behind the first with the bars a bit longer the seat would have been able to support it better. As it is I hardly use it. ? I could have gotten 1 almost identical for $20 less but the arms attached to the back so U couldn't adjust the height.? Without the leg rest would have been an easy $50 to $100 savings on the same overall style. lol, see what happens when we try to go fancy?? ?
  17. Wife nagged at me until I replaced the little chair I had with a "real" chair as she put it. ?Just got it this month.Edit: Hard to tell with the lighting & background,but it's black with red stitching.
  18. My guess is they're combing all these into one section called "Windows tools"
  19. it'll be nice to have things in 1 area instead of having to look all over as updates move them.
  20. If that was apples game plan, they kinda screwed the pooch. I posted my epic library elsewhere in the forums here(150 games at the moment, 1 or 2 were cash purchases rest were free and I haven't even taken ALL the free games)How many PAID games does Apple offer their users? Not games that are already free, but games that would cost a user to purchase? As of 1/2021 Epic had over 160 million subscribers. THAT'S a hefty chunk of money for games if people are taking them."The Epic Games Store's huge growth is fuelled in part by the eye-catching free games it offers on a regular basis. Epic gave away 103 games in 2020 (for a value of $2407), with over 749m games claimed by users in the year."https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-01-28-the-epic-games-store-is-getting-a-lot-more-popular
  21. How did you like the In Wins? I still have the set of 3 Aurora fans with the controller rgb strips and fans I won.Might replace the 3 case fans that came with the low end case with them.(I'd actually FORGOT about them until after I'd ordered a Noctua to supplement the case fans) If anyone else is interested,these are the specs for the AURORA fans in the screen shot. Edit: have the 3 fan kit with the controller now installed. Software from In Win kinda sucks on Windows 10.About the only thing I was able to do was change brightness of leds on fan/speed of leds and turn lights on or off. NO functional fan control(other than turbo mode) even though it's in the limited software. Thinking of trying the board to control the setup even though at time of release it wasn't 1 of the supported brand/models.This 1 has the same header as the gigabyte msi boards for the onboard rgb control. Current speed 3 input averaging 730 RPM's while browsing online,Noctua exhaust running 1070's rpm.including a shot of the "software".
  22. lol, one of these days,I'm gonna have to install some of these free games I've gotten from EPIC.Meanwhile most are just sitting in the library waiting for me to download. Screen shots show my library.... I don't think I paid for more than 1 game on epic,and that was to complete a series I had elsewhere and it was cheaper on epic than anywhere else.
  23. lol, U need 2 spraypaint those pump wires black so they'll match the decor... ?
  24. Try a 32bit version of Windows 10 with the socket 939 cpu. see here for reasons.... https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-confirms-some-older-amd-processors-do-not-support-windows-81/ Same thing with 10 as 8.1 Devices that run Windows 10 for desktop editions require a 1 GHz or faster processor or SoC that meets the following requirements: Compatible with the x86* or x64 instruction set. Supports PAE, NX and SSE2. Supports CMPXCHG16b, LAHF/SAHF, and PrefetchW for 64-bit OS installation I think it's the exchange feature that may be causing your glitch. 3DNow! = CMPXCHG8B
