    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    I'll most likely be playing my current favorite Isonzo. I love playing FPS multi with bolt action rifles. I'll probably toss in some BG3. I became kinda bored in ACT 3 and just want to finish it.

    Would you buy a Microsoft SideWinder USB game pad for any reason other than nostalgia?

    My son has one of those Azeron Cyborgs. After seeing your post I asked him about it. He said he doesn't use it but also said he didn't try it long enough to get used to it to see if he liked it. He said I could try it and I think I will. The reviews for it aren't to bad.

    Would you buy a Microsoft SideWinder USB game pad for any reason other than nostalgia?

    I saw one of these controllers in a thrift store for a $1 and instantly bought it without thinking, nostalgia. Now that I've had time to look at it and checking eBay I see people are still buying them and I'm asking "why?" Why would you buy one of these when modern controllers are so much more...

    Thinking about dipping my toe back into selling but am skeptical

    A similar experience is why I stopped selling on ebay. I sold a video card and the buyer came back saying it was defective and ebay returned the buyers purchase amount and an additional amount for shipping back to me. I was furious as I had just pulled that card out of my gaming rig, knowing...

    Thinking about dipping my toe back into selling but am skeptical

    Just to be clear if I wasn't. I would not purposely sell anything without disclosing full details on the item. I just didn't know if there are listings stating something along the lines of, "Item worked when it was pulled" but due to blah, blah, blah, purchase at your own risk". From the...

    Thinking about dipping my toe back into selling but am skeptical

    Great responses, thanks everyone. I have two more questions. I have a old Cooler Master Stacker 830 Evolution full tower case. It's just been sitting unused. I was about to throw it away last year and then saw they were going for $100+ on eBay plus shipping. So where do you find a box that...

    Thinking about dipping my toe back into selling but am skeptical

    and need some advice on what's changed and best methods to sell/ship. I used to flip my PC hardware and other items on ebay and near the end HardForum. I'd then roll the profit into new hardware toys. (y) However, after getting burnt by an eBay policy and the price of shipping had increased to...

    On the hunt for my next monitor after 10 years on a TN panel

    A couple of years ago I said I'd NEVER get a curved monitor and didn't think I'd go bigger than 27". November of 2022 I was looking at yet again 27" 1440p monitors but with higher refresh rates. Then I saw reviews for the Alienware AW3423DW and the new Alienware AW3423DWF.... and I was sold...

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Thanks Ur_Mom, I didn't know there was a revival of NOLF. I loved those games back in the day. I'm grabbing them. I'm currently playing through BG3 and for multiplayer I'm loving Isonzo. It reminds me of BF1942 and BF2 and Call of Duty World at WAR merged into one game. I preferred the slower...

    What's your opinion on playing first-person shooters on a controller?

    This is my experience as well. I will use a controller for emulators, driving and flying but never when on foot or for a FPS. I did use one in Red Dead Redemption 2 only when riding on the horse. When shooting from the horse the auto aim felt like cheating.

    Comcast breached

    Same here Tsumi. Considering I'm in a neighborhood with more than enough residents to support multiple carriers, fiber companies refuse or have a deal with crapcast to never roll out fiber service. It's so #$@% frustrating. 🤬

I haven't tried to use it like as a desktop like I do with my Windows systems.... and I get your point. ;) I just have this weird hangup about using it as a htpc but if it will absolutely work and is a nice upgrade over my Alpha R2 then I should just DO...

    Replacing my HTPC Alienware Alpha R2 with my Steam Deck?

    I bought the Steam Deck 512 last year and have easily less than 10 hours on it. I have considered selling it however a thought keeps returning to my mind. I've been wanting to replace my 2016 Alienware R2 console that I use as a home theater PC as it's getting sluggish even when web browsing. I...
