    Looks like July might be a really interesting time for new PC parts.

    Just FYI, the version that's on twitch isn't choppy. Here's the link (the Youtube video starts at 21:23): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/430443641 I really don't see the point right now honestly. I'm still running a 4790 (not even K and overclocked) and don't see any issues at all. I can...

    Forbes is at it again. This time talking trash about Netflix.

    That's a risk with any company. There have been many companies that started by providing a great service, but evolved into typical corporate greed. It is a very popular story. It won't take Disney to show Netflix the profitability of greed. The only thing we can do is hope that it does't...

    Forbes is at it again. This time talking trash about Netflix.

    That's pretty much the heart of the issue. So many shows and movies are created with the intent of getting views not out of quality, but of fandom. Video games do the same thing. Movie to video game translations are rarely anything other than a cash grab. Of course, that doesn't stop the...

    Star Citizen Caves!

    Hell yea! Portal 2 still ranks as one of my top 5 all time favorite games. On the actual caves though, that sounds amazingly promising. As big as this game is supposed to be, I can only hope that this eventually develops into cave bases. I'd love to have a secret moon cave base.

    Forbes is at it again. This time talking trash about Netflix.

    This is exactly the point that the media is missing. You can have Netflix, Hulu, Funimation, AND Disney. You can combine all of those and it'll still be cheaper than a cable TV subscription. When it comes out, I'll get Disney+. For $6 a month, why not? It won't disrupt any of my other...

    Forbes is at it again. This time talking trash about Netflix.

    So this article popped up for some reason in my suggestions. Netflix has 175 days left to pull off a miracle... or it's all over. They're saying that in 175 days, Disney's new streaming service is going to put Netflix out of business. The writer claims to be a "professional investor and...

    Forbes article on SC.

    Regarding the article, I try to stay away from name brand news. Forbes is one of those. They used to be a trusted name in business, but now are little more than over dramatic click bait. This article is no exception. There is a statement I heard a long time back, "the first million is...

    Anybody buying the new Oculus Quest or S?

    I have been a VR owner since the first Oculus hit the shelves. I dipped my toe in with the GearVR when I bought a galaxy s7 and jumped in with both feet as soon as the rift came out. Since then, I bought a Vive for my wife and a PSVR for my daughter. So we have all three major players. There...

    Happy Birthday Glorious Leader

    Happy Birthday! I find birthdays a great time to stop and smell the roses, metaphorically speaking. You look about the same age as me, give or take (and no, I don't look like my avatar). At least we have the same taste in efficient hair cuts... Just look back at all the human progress we...

    The Fall of Babylon 6: A Tale of Disaster and Mismanagement

    It never ceases to amaze me how some people try to fancy up their words in an attempt to make them sound legitimate. That, combined with straw man arguments and feigned offense, are the entirety of a forum bully's toolbox. Logic is met with anger. Fact is met with convoluted nonsense. Any...

    What do you do for a living?

    I tried the inventor path for a while in my off time. You're right. It does require a jack of all trades. It's also amazingly fun for the right kind of person. I just couldn't find a way to sufficiently monetize it. Every idea that I had either turned out to be too small, or after...

    What do you do for a living?

    Since @supitza and others are either looking into a career change or are still searching for their "calling", I figured I'd share my opinion on the matter. [$0.02] As I mentioned I have worked a ton of different jobs in a pile of different fields. It looks like many of you have as well. In...

    What do you do for a living?

    For the vast majority of my life, I suffered from what could only be called "job related ADD". I've worked a ton of jobs from prison guard to running a strip club, HVAC installer to home building, private security to office manager and just about everything in between. I've been drawn to just...

    Kick in the BALLs!

    I've felt the wave of frustration hit a couple times now. So I can't talk trash. What I can comment on, are the things that brought everything back into perspective. Make no mistake. This frustration is an issue with perception, nothing else. I don't say it to start/continue an argument. I...

    Bored Games

    We actually play board games every Sunday. My wife and I started it up with our daughter years ago for the purpose of teaching strategy and critical thinking. The weekly winner picks dinner the following Sunday. It's turned into a fun filled family murderfest every week. As a result, we have...

    [Video] Excited for gimbal assist in 3.5!

    Yes, 1000% yes! Is it a perfect solution? No, but it's pretty damn good. First, there is the issue of aimbots. No matter what CIG does, they WILL find their way into the game. They have been in every single shooting game since forever and anyone that thinks it won't be in SC as well is just...

    Advice on PC upgrade

    Honestly, it looks like you have a really solid rig there regardless of age. You should be able to handle just about anything on the market on max settings and good fps. If it were me, I wouldn't upgrade it. Hardware seems to have outrun the software lately. So buying better gear isn't...

    A little help with cord cutting (Canada)

    It's not as bad as it sounds. I am basically using a TV as a monitor, via the hdmi out on my graphics card. I then use a HDMI splitter to run that signal to my other tvs. I chose to use the HDMI/ethernet adapter because it's much easier to run cat6 (300' range, 125' range with cat5e) than it...

    Perma Death

    The video definitely outlines some of my concerns. If there is the slightest possibility of abuse, a percentage of the player base will make it their life's endeavor to use that mechanic to ruin the day of as many people as possible. It happens in every game that doesn't respect this reality...

    A little help with cord cutting (Canada)

    Welcome to a cable free world! It's absolutely amazing. We cut the cable a couple years ago and never looked back. Streaming sites offer such a massively better service at much less cost. To be honest, I just dont think cable tv has a place in this world anymore. It's an archaic service...
