    Who else likes likes a clean, minimalist PC build?

    I did build a black out build. Then when things were getting bad (price). I got a prebuilt RGB (fans, aio, card), and I changed the color to purple to match the color of the LED under glow of my desk. (I am over 50). My desk LED is practical, (hear me out). I have a power strip that turns on...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Is the hitch assembly staying on? (Long shot I have a newer Hyundai). If you say Yes, I will do the compatibility research.

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    I have to record serial numbers and have drives shredded my current employer. It breaks my heart. BUT there is no rule I can't store them and use them in other machines when needed. I have yet to shred a working SSD. I even 3d printed a Ram tray and keep DDR4 ram in it. For some reason it is not...

    Steam getting rid of Retail Gift Cards

    The store that my brother worked at had people getting scammed at a Bitcoin ATM. The employees (starting by my brother) would do what they could to talk people out of money, but you can suspect how that went. One was even so pissed he pushed past my brother knocking him back. He suspects that...

    Wow! Dream Air

    I never thought I would be able to quote this: "Hmm, is he the dad, is he the granddad, is he the granddad's granddad...? And oh my God, why is he pushing a traffic cone on the swing while his five-year-old little boy is in the mud, crying? Is... is he taunting the little boy? No, he can't even...

    The Tech Workers Building A.I. Are Scared of It, Too

    To be fair when private equity buys a company the PE often stops innovation and just suck the value out of the company. Think about all the user data\content in Twitter. That being said as Ididar mentioned it could be a revenge FU purchase.

    Valve to Face Antitrust Lawsuit Over Steam Gaming Platform

    We can't allow the Steam monopoly... on games. Also 3 cell phone providers in the USA is plenty in the USA. Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T is all that is left, vs Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG.com, Humble Bundle, Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, itch.io, Microsoft Store, Ubisoft Connect, and Battle.net

    Valve to Face Antitrust Lawsuit Over Steam Gaming Platform

    A specific example is Weber grill. Try to hunt for a discount that grill is the same price everywhere to the penny. Sure you can get a free assembly or a free tank of gas but the price is fixed.

    Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?

    Ultima Exodus for NES. This game had me graphing maps and keeping a journal. I was playing one night and suddenly heard my mom coming down the stairs. I glanced at the clock.... WHAT!?! I checked it out again. CRAP, no time to save. I unplugged the video cable covered the tattle tail red led of...

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    Hey, I filled out this survey when GN asked. It was a quick google doc. I wondered whatever happened with that.

    Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?

    Video games have been great for me, I have only accidentally ran into one person in the office. In games I have been trained starting pulling the trigger if I see a shadow behind a blind corner. In real life I know to stop asap as not to spill my coffee over the person. The only time I ran into...

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    I hate typing this but: Instead of subscribing to a PC (too much freedom), you subscribe to a game instance on a docker. This way you log into the game and not the PC you would not have access to the PC. The entire instance is immutable. They will sell it as "no need to install" and "no more...

    I ended up using Amazon for my Thermaltake Tsunami. Searched for "screws for hdd with anti vibration" Measured my existing screws, compared it to the size on zon, it was not perfect but it worked. I am including this specific link because the 3rd pic made me chuckle...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    My fault for not reading a 80 page TOS the redefines the words like purchase and buy and to find out the game requires a launcher. (Looks at my steam library nervously with all the games I don't own, but paid in a store with a cart that used to use buy). I know, I will play only buy GOG games...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    I don't want my games to stop working. I don't care who made them. I don't care if it is the 1800th anno, I bought it, I enjoy playing it more than other annos.
