    Which monitor?

    Look at 2k 144 Hz monitors unless your budget is under 200. At this time, 4K is a waste, but 2k has a great picture and can have great response times too.

    Music recommendations?

    To broaden your tastes...Irish rovers if you like folk music. Lots of music from them over the past 50 years. Spoof bands... those darn accordions and the youpers UPers. Lots of funny stuff there. Of course weird al. K and J pop, kiss, AC/DC. Don’t really listen to EDM so I can’t recommend...

    Dear Diary Thread

    If your sweat shirt is itchy, you did not get a good one. If your sweatshirt is wool, then you are getting sweatshirt and sweater confused Also, wear an undershirt to help prevent the itch from sweaters. =)

    The Rock Report 2019 Index and Archive --- #4 - Last Time on Star Citizen: The Next Generation

    Hey all. I found a pretty decent mining guide here (https://www.space4games.com/en/star-citizen-en/star-citizen-the-ultimate-mining-guide/id-1047/) that does a pretty good job of also explaining when you should mine what, where things are located, etc. I would love to see some of these things...

    Timetable on upcoming pc hardware releases this year(new CPU's and GPU's)?

    Ice lake may also be coming out this year, which may offer some improvements in performance. AMD’s new processors have lit a fire under intel and the consumer will benefit greatly.

    Timetable on upcoming pc hardware releases this year(new CPU's and GPU's)?

    There is usually stuff around the dads and grads timeline, and then around the winter holidays. Nvidia sales are down because (IMO) they prices themselves way too high with the new boards. They were trying to grab some of the profits retailers were getting with the rise of cryptocurrency...

    Welp EA did it with Anthem

    This is our fault all. We keep paying for this, and we've demonstrated we are willing to fund a game to the tune of 200 MILLION bucks before it's even been developed. WoW pets, EQ online store with Sony cash (now daybreak cash), Minecraft addons, the whole mobile phone micropayments, etc...

    Stay warm all

    To those getting hit by the current cold weather in the Midwest, southeastern US, and Canada, bundle up and stay warm. It's cold enough for frostbite in minutes, so be sure to take care of yourselves and the animals in your care.

    Give me your Anthem feedback!

    For me it was...meh... it was ok, but like a lot of EA stuff, I think it’s being rushed out the door and not being given the time needed to polish it correctly. Also, it felt like a stress test beta, not a demo...one that it failed badly on.

    Gameglass - interesting take on adding an iPad/Android to the SC experience

    Some game companies require you to share all your add on code with them by default. Technically, if CIG implemented a restrictive enough policy, they could get the code for free and implement it themselves without paying a dime...

    Happy Australia Day!

    Happy Australia Day to all the wonderful people there. May it be safe, fun, and most importantly, may it COOL OFF! At least, I hope I can still wish you a Happy Australia Day...to ALL Australians.

    Gameglass - interesting take on adding an iPad/Android to the SC experience

    There will be free shards or control sets available for games they support. With a subscription (currently WAY too high...5-10/year is better unless they support 10-15 games with stuff that really improves gameplay), you get access to all the shards. I got a lifetime (LTI, I know), plan for...

    Gameglass - interesting take on adding an iPad/Android to the SC experience

    I came across this thread in the SC forums https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/50264/thread/game-glass This looks very interesting. In case the thread goes down, here is the link to the gameglass site https://gameglass.gg/ It looks very similar to the old Roccat...

    What if you don’t download the fan kit, can you still develop content, etc?

    Auto aim gimbals coming in 3.5?

    This could simply expand the hitbox for less skilled players. Instead of a 1/4 inch target on the screen, I can get a half inch hitbox, or 3/4 inch hitbox. It will still take skill, but allow those that have less skill to hit more often with a lower sized weapon. Those that are more skilled...

    Crytek vs CIG lawsuit: Motion to dismiss granted!

    If they are dropping the suit, there is no discovery. If they are not dropping the suit, the. It has been dismissed because they did not amend the complaint. The dismissal might be appealed, but I think it’s done. I am sure Mr. French will weigh in soon.

    Bethesda banning players in Fallout 76 for accessing secret room

    Player auctions has been around a long time. I knew people in game who bought and sold account there for Everquest back in the early 2000s. So people buying and selling items there is very old hat. There was even a term, Idiot or eBay, that came about due to the large number of accounts being...

    Crytek vs CIG lawsuit: Motion to dismiss granted!

    I think they are trying to get to a point where they can bring another suit against CIG if they can put together an argument that can withstand the dismissal motions. I am not sure if they had just let things go if that would have prevented them from ever filing again on this issue. I am not a...
