    Microcenter is coming back to the Bay Area!!!

    Cool.. I used to work in Sunnyvale/Santa Clara CA and spent so much time at that Frys omg.. I also visited Microcenter at Stevens Creek Blvd but it closed up. It was a nice store which actually had decent water cooling parts at a brick and mortar! That store seemed to always be packed and was...

    Remembering the Nvidia GeForce 256 – the first PC gaming GPU

    My friend got one of these on release and played a lot of Half Life on it.. I wasn't that impressed with it tbh... Another friend had a voodoo2 SLI system which I thought looked a little better... but the 256 was faster for sure. I loved my Riva TNT in 98... and the TNT2 when that dropped in...

    FS: Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 Sealed - $600

    lol birds of a feather. Maybe that’s why it failed. It should have started a go fund me. I’d donate a little to keep it around. ;)

    STRAY Cat game Cyberpunk dystopia

    Picked this game up finally this weekend and finished last night. What an unexpectedly wonderful game. From the story to the mechanics plus visual and auditory vibes.. really well done. Not too long (10 hours) and I don't foresee much replay value but I definitely had a great time playing. I...

    Undertaker's FS: MSI RTX 4090 Gaming Trio

    Free bump for ya... I have the same card in my system and I consider this to be the BEST of the standard air cooled 4090's after a lot of reading. None of these 4090s have much overclocking headroom so I felt no need to get anything but a nice looking card that draws the least power...

    A look back at the 3dfx Voodoo 2 – the last dedicated 3D graphics card

    I don't forget the people who made these communities and brought things forward, shit I was one of them. Yeah the server hosting community did get wiped but when I played Apex regularly I had the same fun experience I did playing Q2 CTF.. probably even more fun.. I call 2019 the summer I spent...

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    I finally bought Stray and am really enjoying it as a chill story driven nice looking game... planning on some System Shock (remastered) later.. EDIT: I feel major Animatrix vibes from Stray, like the times during the second renaissance part 1-ish..

    A look back at the 3dfx Voodoo 2 – the last dedicated 3D graphics card

    The voodoo original 4mb card was really the game changer for me... winamp plugins with the dancing coke can lol.. and tomb radier and quake2.. I totally missed the whole voodoo2 bus! ...and scan line interleave mode with 2x voodoo2's.. I think I had a RIVA128 and then a TNT, TNT2 etc.... I did...

    the angle of the dongle is inversely proportional to the heat of the video card! eh.. not sure that applies here ;)

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    They were very fast for the time.. a single 8800GTX was faster than two 1900xtx’s in crossfire .. and a LOT quieter. ;)

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    My old rig from that era with dual 8800GTX's (Asus top / eVGA bot).. and the wonderful Abit IN9 32x max (n680sli) motherboard that didn't squeeze the cards right next to each other.. and that crazy zalman cooler. I loved that thing lol!

    Where are the next gen MMO's?

    Yeah I used to play LOTRO like that... all weekend until 4am Fri and Sat nights. So much fun. I had a tight group of people I would play with every weekend until they got 'bored of the rings' and went off to play Warhammer. Oh well. I did play a lot of Guild Wars (original) I enjoyed that a...

    Dead Space remake (2023)

    Sounds like the Iron Man game will be Unreal5 and open world. That could be super fun but seems like it's a long way off. Shit in VR that'd blow peoples socks off I bet. I am having fun with the Dead Space remake.. It's so damn creepy it's hard to play at night sometimes though lol. That...

    Gamers report memory RGB lights are damaging GPU backplates

    wow now I am even more glad I went with LED-less DDR modules during the last upgrade cycle. ..also the back plate on my MSI 4090 is for sure aluminum - not plastic.. maybe there's some coating on the alum that's getting affected by the constant light and heat of the GPU.. edit: looking at...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Nice. That was one thin performer for sure. Didn’t Nvidia make a dual card variant of that? Or was that the 79 series? 7950gt?

    So I bought a Titan... A770 (an Arc OC thread!)

    Pulling 433w is pretty good.. my 4090 only pulls like 360w under load.. but I don’t always run the afterburner OSD while playing games.. I bet it’s getting near 400w when in extreme duress.

    Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster

    Having played through this now.. it feels like a really good Doom wad file collection set in the star wars universe. It's pretty fun but I wish they had removed the sprites and gone all 3D... this as a great Quake 2 mod would have been way better imo. But maybe they were trying to keep the old...

    I deleted my zips and the unzipped files after this whole fiasco.. ugh. I should have saved the zip for testing/comparison but that ship has sailed. I’ll be a lot more careful about matching MD5’s with my downloads going forward. fuck so many typos.. traveling..

    Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight Remastered - Wonderful DF2:JK Mod

    It’s pretty fucked that a beautiful mod like that got that shit baked into it.. does the modder get paid to load that package up with malware? I’ve always been really careful about running any random installers like that.. and for good reason now it seems. I’m still a little paranoid...
