  1. Give them credit,Techland hasn't left us twiddling our thumbs while we wait for them to get dying light 2 done up right.?
  2. 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..."
  3. 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...
  4. 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.
  5. 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?? ?
  6. 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.
  7. My guess is they're combing all these into one section called "Windows tools"
  8. it'll be nice to have things in 1 area instead of having to look all over as updates move them.
  9. 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
  10. 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".
  11. 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.
  12. lol, U need 2 spraypaint those pump wires black so they'll match the decor... ?
  13. 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
  14. lol, after reading the post here,I'm guessing that tying the cable to some other cables and letting the drive hang isn't the usual solution??
  15. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
  16. Question is,are they STILL gonna keep installing what they think is the latest greatest driver for the device automatically? I mean they already kinda DO keep 3rd party drivers separate in the updates section...Never mind,just ck'd before posting and within the last couple of updates they've removed them. lol?
  17. Dowinx Gaming Chair Ergonomic Racing Style Recliner with Massage Lumbar Support Office Armchair for Computer PU Leather with Retractable Footrest Black Cost=$235.75 arrived missing parts,contacted via newegg,was emailed back same day.I replied next day with info they wanted,their sending me the missing parts.Kinda annoyed have to wait to enjoy.parts missing are required to attach the foot rest. Edit: Also purchased a different fan for the back of the case,want to make sure I'm pulling enough to offset both front fans pushing air in on low settings.
  18. I think the reason cyberpunk wouldn't load was probably the graphics or the extensions on the cpu. Yours is missing a few that the minimum amd has.(SSE4 / SSE4.1 + SSE4.2 / Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 just to name a few...) Also the minimum VRAM is 3GB with recommended at 6. I know it identifies the cpu,because they had an issue when it first released where it was screwing with the SMT on later (ryzen) cpu's because they weren't identified as bulldozer cpu's... (here's an article on it with a fix... https://www.tomshardware.com/news/cyberpunk-2077-amd-ryzen-performance-bug-fix-testing ) Here's a screenshot of the system requirements for the game also. Edit: The amd cpu they have as minimum is 6 years newer than the 1 your running,if it's being detected that may be why it won't load.
  19. Since E.C. is God and it's his birthday, The Cream of Clapton Full album .....? Add in Forever Man... "How Many times?" lol
  20. They don't want your eyes to hurt while staring at the screen for the half hour it takes to log in and open a file.... ?
  21. Will they at least be giving free vaseline with your purchase to help ease that increase? Or will we just have to hold our ankles and grunt as the bill is deposited??
  22. On a side note,was looking @ larger nvme drives and figured I didn't need to look at the 4.0 versions because by the time I upgraded again a cpu wouldn't fit this socket or wouldn't be worth the little bit of Ommmph I'd get. Surprise,this board(X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING (rev. 1.0) ) is even supporting the 5xxx series cpu's with pcie 4.0 support. So, in a year or 2 when the cpu's might be available and actually cheaper I'll be ready to upgrade. https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING-rev-10/support#support-cpu
  23. Agreed,there were people selling items like that for a couple hundred dollars but in the description it said "DO NOT BUY UNLESS U ARE A BOT! PICTURE ONLY!!" lol?
  24. The Young Frankenstein items seem to be quite appropriate decor.... ?
