    Starfield: Let's see Your Ships!

    Thanks, probably my first mod. Should make the larger ships a little more fun to cover them with turrets.

    Baldurs Gate 3 - Official Discussion Thread (2019)

    I am basically stomping through the game doing whatever seems the most interesting at each decision. I am guessing this thing is going to merit some absolute legend writing a decision maker mod that builds a save game (or something along those lines) once the dust settles a bit and I'll likely...

    Baldurs Gate 3 - Official Discussion Thread (2019)

    Have done a bard and wizard up to Act II already. Will likely be sticking with the Bard for the rest of the playthrough. Played lots of early access so I knew what I was getting into and Act I was just for style and fun. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I get people not being into it but calling out this...

    Mesh office chair vs. padded

    I still use a 25 year old aeron that has been rebuilt once (under warranty at about 16ish years old). I have two others at the other offices. Getting the size of the seat correct is pretty important on these imo as far as where the legs land in the mesh and front seat frame. I hate sitting in...

    Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen ~ Challenging Epic Planar High Fantasy MMORPG

    Still-in-withdrawl-EQ-Bard here (pre and post melody). Rumors of RSI are greatly exaggerated. =p I still miss it. Having to start adulting sucked.

    What game made you a PC Gamer?

    I think it was Star Raiders if we're counting the 800XL as PC gaming. If we're not counting those, then I'd say it was Suspended on the... Apple II? Those early apple boxes are all a blur to me in the late 70s/early 80s. Wing Commander later on moved it from incredibly enthusiastic to hopelessly...

    Thanks for that, really helpful! Makes me feel better about not trying an embody type chair and just ordering another aeron.

    Herman Miller Embody

    Thanks for posting your experience. I've used aerons for decades now and been very happy. About to outfit a third office and will probably just stick with another one. I'm 5'11" and 225 and pretty broad as well and I am right between a C and B so I've stayed with the C over the years and been...

    Looking for advice setting up a phone controlled remote streaming box

    That's so great that you were able to keep them involved with the tech. My folks have really just in the last few years "discovered" the internet at large and all that means so I feel like this is just me taking the first steps for them. We've isolated their online banking due to the exact...

    Looking for advice setting up a phone controlled remote streaming box

    This is where I kind of landed in the decision process. My parents are a real danger to security honestly. They answer the phone and engage with people they should not be talking to and their home pc and mobile devices are constantly hit with problems of their own making from clicking on...

    Thanks so much Samir, it looks like this is going to work out great. Ordered a little refurb corporate box and I'll get the software set up and tested this weekend!

    Looking for advice setting up a phone controlled remote streaming box

    Hey folks, I would like to set up a box, hooked up to my parent's TV that I can pull up remote control of on my phone (from offsite) and start/end a stream for them with no on-site input. I would like to be able to reboot and resume control of the box from my phone as well with automatic...

    Good deal, please let us know how things go after some time with it.

    I'll confirm your suspicion that the aeron will not be great in feet up use. I've been using them at the home office and the work desks for many years now. They are excellent for sitting up and working upright positions for long hours but leaning back with your feet up; not so much. Fine leaning...

    HURRY - Micro Center - 12700K + ASUS TUF Z690 Combo - $350

    Microcenter does not have enough of a price delta to justify a 600 mile drive unless you maybe are retired and you're buying in bulk somehow. Between gas and your time, you should be losing money unless you are buying dozens of loss leader specific combos. I have no idea why someone would spend...

    *FOUND* WTB: CPU and RAM for a B360 - 1151 and 2 sticks of DDR4

    That and laziness, but just didn't want to go chop out all the cpus I thought would be too expensive because I'd just be guessing. I was hoping to pick up cpu and ram to me for this board for ~$250. I thought I might score a plain 8500 or so and boring ram for that due to a few local prices but...

    *FOUND* WTB: CPU and RAM for a B360 - 1151 and 2 sticks of DDR4

    Got hooked up, thank you guys! Just trying to put a tiny caselab case to work with spare parts that have been taking up a shelf since caselab closed shop. Looking to get a CPU and RAM for an ASUS Strix B360 Gaming board. If you're unsure if your parts will work can ask me or check the...

    FS: EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra Gaming, Acer XB271HU G Sync monitor, Crucial MX500 1TB SSD

    Bump for looking. Wish I had the third slot for that GPU as a hold over in my BH2. Great monitor too, been very happy with mine.

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    I'm a bit encouraged that they were still taking names that late. My condolences (and congrats!) of course, but still good that an hour later they didn't shut it down given the mayhem we've all been dealing with. EDIT: And apparently still are.

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    12 Minutes after for me. Probably not going to be able to wait for it. Been trying to build a PC for a xmas gift so will be out shopping for a 2080 ti probably. There's been so little movement on all the others I've got on notify etc.

    Recommendation on comfortable 8-12hr office chair for big guy

    Sorry to see that, does the one you wound up with have a angle adjustment where you can tip the seat down in the front or have you already tried that? It's one of the office ergo peoples got for numb or sore legs in a new chair. Regardless, hope you find a good solution.

    Recommendation on comfortable 8-12hr office chair for big guy

    I've been using aerons at work and at home. Office work, for nearly 30 years. The one at home which I have had since the year they were introduced has been rebuilt once (for only the cost of shipping I might add). I've been as heavy as 270 and now settled down to around 230 so I'm not in the...

    Cyberpunk 2077: Official Thread

    I'm also buying on GOG. None of my friends use any of the Steam community stuff and just don't care about it. We have our own forums and have just used whatever voip is working the best for everyone at the time over the years (discord these days). Almost always buy closest to the developer just...

    Cyberpunk 2077: Official Thread

    We had a terrible customer service experience with with them, and I do mean terrible. Not interested in typing the whole thing out but it was an account recovery issue for my nephew and they were basically like, pound sand; start a new account; you're not banned. I've had one issue ever with a...

    Cyberpunk 2077: Official Thread

    Meh, neither cdpr nor gog has burned me yet. I’m fine with it, especially given that this is likely as close to a first party installer as this title is likely to get. Unlike epic who has absolutely fucked me over, I simply won’t give them money until I believe something has changed; which...

    The Division 2

    I honestly don't know about the inventory. It makes sense it would not work that way. Going through the world tiers and the more difficult content, I just never had much of a problem tossing on whatever I picked up and the experience getting to know the different talents and guns has helped sort...

    The Division 2

    Just like in the lower tiers, in WT5 as your gear score rises so will the open world drops (cases). First thing when I phased into WT5 was to go pick up the high GS score junk off the all the vendors (don't forget the DZ vendors) and equip it, fast and easy GS bump. It took me a couple hours of...

    The Division 2

    Hook up with one of the guys already 500 plus and just have them drop everything for you. You’ll be capped out on gs then just start recalling and farming for the real pieces. I had no trouble clearing anything with hodge podge gear. After a few bounties and cp3s, had all 495 and up stuff, then...

    The Division 2

    I'm 47 and find the controls incredibly simple as a decades long PC gamer. Not sure how else to answer that. EDIT: I do generally remap move into cover and jump/climb in these types of games and I did set the roll via movement keys to yes.
