Ok now, I read the post and saw the part about it being a "MacBook Air." These use NVM SSD's, or whatever they are called. Definitely not the 2.5 inch variety SSD. In general, you do have to be careful about getting a drive that is compatible with the specific type of MacBook Air. Here is a...

lol, if I had unlimited funds, I would definitely go with that IcyBox! But, free vs. $90 means I have $90 more to buy ships with! :D

I can answer the "image old SSD" question. On the Mac, making a clone of your drive is fairly trivial. There is a great, *free* cloning tool called "SuperDuper" that will copy your drive. The new drive will then boot up just like the old one, no problems copying the operating system (since Apple...

You know, I keep hearing great things about Iain Banks and I keep meaning to read one of his books...so make that another vote for Player of Games.

Ars Technica recently ran a piece about the release of multiplayer in No Man's Sky, and one of their writers posted a comment in which he said I would guess that if you were a 500 person studio, you would probably need a whole Marketing & PR Department, so maybe 10 people, at least? Just...

aha! Another connoisseur of high culture! This should still be on your newsstand now, if you haven't already read them in their original issues...

oh no, is it too late? or am I early for the next round? Ignore my previous shit-posting, here is my all-time favorite sci-fi book, "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle...

So, the original plan was to target about ? 120? systems and have artists, lore writers, etc., really individualize and polish these selected planets, moons, etc., and then use procedural generation to ensure stuff is all over the universe (but not as highly individualized as the 120 systems...

Meh, shit takes time. IRL, right by me, there was a large piece of land in the hills that a conservation group raised funds to buy and turn into a public park with a hiking trail. In March of 2016 they said, "It will open as soon as we clear and make the trails, so, the park should be ready...

lol, I was playing Lego City: Undercover, and I had a blast driving the cop car with the siren on and the lights flashing! More fun than I had imagined...

Oh yeah, well good luck looking through the windows in SC, they are going to be filthy & grimy do to use --> see below. THANKS CR!

Arbiter, shmarbiter, Carrack is life!

So in my limited experience (because I still enjoy the tactile feeling of holding a book, turning pages, and looking back at stuff): 1. Kindle devices are great at reading fiction books without pictures, but crap at *anything* & **everything** else. 2. If you want to read PDF's of stuff, you are...

yeah, I'm expecting nominated books to be either science fiction or fantasy world stuff, not historical fiction stuff.

lol, I'm just back from walking my dog...did I miss anything? :D

Damn...I go make breakfast, take a shower, and I MISS THIS!

My opinion: there are two separate issues here: 1. Having to sell your stuff because of emergency needs, like medical bills (legit emergency and not, just because you are tired of the game or you want to upgrade your graphics cards); 2. Free market & "rules" Re: 1, having to sell stuff to get...

But the FIDELITY! lol! I just got a 1080ti too, and I really don't play anything other than SC. The stuff I do play, my old 1060 was fine. But my i7-8700k is so worth it for SC!

Ok, here is one of my fave old beer commercials (I don't recommend the beer, but the commercial was funny!): View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP3XaAqDwZ0

IMO, if you just want to read, a Kindle, esp. a Kindle "white" or whatever they call it, is the best. It is lightweight, thin, & lasts a long time on a charge. If you want to browse the web and/or do email, then getting a full-fledged tablet is probably better. Tablets are usually heavier and...
