    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    What's that old saying? "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" ? Obviously, having military NBC (Nuclear-Biological-Chemical) level precautions would be "state of the science" but COVID isn't like a nerve agent where a single droplet could kill you. It's a virus, so there are a lot of other...

    Nvidia announces 3080Ti & 3070Ti

    The current crop of AMD cards are fairly decent, esp. the 6800XT. It is nice that it has 16GB RAM. However, this is really their "first gen", and I never buy first generation of *anything*. I'll wait and see what they release 2nd and 3rd gen... Anywhere, here is a nice rundown of the current...

    Nvidia announces 3080Ti & 3070Ti

    Yeah, you have got to believe that they regret releasing the 3080 for $699 now. I think they were afraid of the (then) soon to be released AMD cards. I hope AMD keeps plugging away & increases the competition! More reviews with benchmarks are coming in, TL;DR: No more than a 12% increase in...

    Final thoughts on the TechLinked Star Citizen Video!

    NOICE! The TechLinked video is probably the fairest of all the "big" independent videos out there. It is unfortunate that he kind of repeated some of the old tropes about the game ("SCAM") but in a way, a naive viewer would have heard that before and would be wondering...addressing issues like...

    Nvidia announces 3080Ti & 3070Ti

    The announcement came at 10pm last night (Memorial Day in the US) so it silpped under the radar... Anyway, Nvidia announced their 3080Ti and 3070Ti video cards, apparently coming soon (like June 3rd soon, not SoonTM soon, ha ha...that is, if you can find one in stock)...

    As Yogi Berra once (supposedly) said, "We'd like to thank the people who made this necessary!"

    Crypto discussion

    This cracked me up, the article was how the police identified a house consuming large amounts of (stolen) electricity...the raided it expecting to find a cannabis farm, but no --> it was a Bitcoin mining op, lol...

    New Overage and Demand of Commodities in newest update 13.3.1

    Good point, and don't forget even the Super Hornet and any Vanguard are that much deadlier with a turret gunner. I think that putting in some distortion weapons in the turret really complements having regular energy guns at the pilots control. It goes without saying that a larger ship, such as...

    Star Citizen "Science" -- Quantum Interdiction

    Hey, This fellow put together a YT video explaining (in great detail) the in's and out's of quantum interdiction, and how to use it. I found it fascinating, as SC really has some realistic logic at its core, but, (as usual) CIG has some "gotchas" that you need to be aware of (like green zones...

    New Overage and Demand of Commodities in newest update 13.3.1

    I saw this posted on reddit...areas in Aaron's Halo that are places to investigate for mining...I'd rather watch paint dry than Prospector mine, but I've been meaning to do this for ages and haven't ever gotten around to it. Maybe if the new commodities don't pan out, I'll be trying this...

    New Overage and Demand of Commodities in newest update 13.3.1

    I was watching Raveir (trading guru who makes gallog.co) and another streamer and they pointed out exactly what you were saying --> a. The commodity alerts don't always show up timely, b. the amounts are limited, the first one or 2 players who get to the terminal and buy "win" the rest are out...

    Eric "Wingman" and Rob Irving's game studio looks to be in trouble

    Well, some updates...it looks like they signed an agreement, and now they are back in court arguing about the terms of the agreement...I get the sense Little Orbit is just trying to run them out of money with all this legal action. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for the latest...check...

    New World MMO! - Server East Coast - Valhalla - Covenant

    Well, the key is going to be what the definition of "reasonable amount of time" Based on what we have seen in the past, that is going to likely based more on their expected profit than what regular people would consider "reasonable." Although, maybe as @maynard points out, first-world players...

    New World MMO! - Server East Coast - Valhalla - Covenant

    Well, when you put it that way... Call me a sucker, but I understand that CIG is basically starting from $0 and needs money to build something...and I kinda trust CIG to do the right thing with game design. Those mealy-mouth replies from the studio about New World, saying they are "inviting...
