Generals was great at LAN parties. But we would get the dreaded "server mismatch" from time to time, which would kick you from the game. This seemed to always happen when we were getting the upper hand on the AI.. Not sure why the net code was never improved. Games like SC2 never had the...

I think they should ditch hardware and go all IP based. They have the base of games that people like. Its already running on a version of Android. Let other people worry about the hardware and concentrate on your IP. It would break from the norm of console gaming though. Most people have...

TV is under $200. People have reported their onsite repair needing multiple trips to resolve problems, or not resolving the problem. Only happens when its hot, TV works fine currently. I tossed the box before I found problem out. otherwise I would have looked at returning it. We'll see if...

Grabbed a couple of 120MM fans laying around. Grabbed the dremel and eyeballed it. Aesthetics I could give a shit about as the back is against the wall. I may grab a couple non LED fans if the one bugs me. Or maybe grab two for a Phillips like ambient light. Haha. One on the power board...

Now that the weather is back down in the 60's, I haven't had a problem since. But for the two days it was hot, it would do all that wonky shit. I believe whatever is in the TV for the Processor may just be overheating. Its definitely not the fastest android experience when installing apps...

So I keep reading that Threadripper has been removed from AMD's roadmap. I dont see many articles regarding this? Does this mean Gen 1 TR4 adopters are gonna be left out in the cold when Ryzen 3000 is released? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_SP3 It looks like a Threadripper socket...

Well, that was a shortlived good review. This TV is a POS when you hit 80 degrees outside. This week TV starts making crackling noises on the sound, screen will just turn off, or start to display green horizontal lines. Only difference is our summer looks to have started early and the temps...

These sites pop up from time to time mostly on facebook. A lot of the time they are easy to spot because the domain is not listed on various review sites and a whois on the domain shows its a brand new domain that's like a month old. This one looks like maybe its a hijacked ecommerce store...

I bought this on Presidents Day when it was on sale for $199. Good TV so far. Replaced my 42inch I had been using for a good 10 years. The backlight started flickering on the old TV. Out of the box there was some loss of signal off and on for a second at a time. I thought my unit was...

I bought this right before even seeing this thread, haha. It is somewhat thinner than a standard mouse pad, but it seems to do its job for the price. This is on my work machine. I also bought another for home but haven't got around to putting it on yet. The pad can have some ripples in it at...

This seems to be lost on the current generation. Its all about score and what your character looks like in game. Developers literally making billions on a players appearance? Crazy.

My son does this in Fortnite and it pissed me off when I saw it. They do it to make the hitbox larger = easier to hit. I agree that if its in the game settings, its fair game and if it gives an unfair advantage, it should be removed up to the game devs discretion. If you have to edit a config...

While the S3 Virge found in 1000's of OEMs at the time was pretty trash, the Redition based cards were not bad. I had a Diamond Stealth S220 that competed with my brothers Cirrus Logic 5446 2MB 2D card / Monster3D 3Dfx Combo. The first single card that wowed me was the Diamond Viper V550...

Tempting. Especially for one that does one button cloning as a kind of bonus. Nice price. Inatech immediately reminded me of Initech. Haha.

I had this same issue in a rig I have in my garage that had a GTX 980 and a GTX 1080 in. My only solution was to take out the 980 and put it back in my main box. Im basically just using spare parts and experimenting with mining. I havent taken the time to troubleshoot where the problem was...
