Has Paypal ever been safe against scammers?

I had faith in Billy, and he came through. I don't believe in having idols, but I do believe in Billy Mitchell. People treat the guy as if he's Trump or something, yeesh. ;)

Ebay requires the condition of the item to be stated. If it's not bootable and it's not listed as "for parts", Ebay isn't going to take their side. Those scams don't work anymore, unless the international aspect of it is the key to the scam.

What does an HTPC have to do with a Steam Deck? And why wouldn't you just build your own? lol

Everything supports 5.1. Even old N64 games support surround sound. Stereo is completely deprecated. Using Stereo simply means you lack space or budget for something better. If you have the space, I'd go 4.0 before going 2.1. The idea that surround isn't ubiquitously supported is absurd. Even...

You could've picked a better example. There are far worse instances of hardware that help people cheat. No, I haven't been in any "real leagues". I've never seen anyone gaming at a real league with hardware designed for cheater. Usually they have rules against things like that. This really...

Sounds like a dumb gimmick. I mean, if that's cheating, it's barely noteworthy.

Zoomers love hanging out on heavily censored platforms, I noticed. A thirteen year old version of myself would've been banned from that website nearly instantly. Blows my mind that content creators will stake their livelihood on a platform that can remove you for any reason or no reason at any...

There's really not much, if any uncompressed 8k content. 4k gaming already relies on upscaling to hit their normal performance targets, 8k would only rely even further on upscaling. When it comes down to it, there's so much more to PQ than resolution. Color, contrast, brightness, etc. Unless...

I'm just curious what all of this work is over is all. Like, if the OP got it working, and tested the before and after for his specific-use cases, I'd be extremely interested in seeing what the real world benefit of all this was. Are we talking 5 more FPS in a few games? The linked article...

Except you're not getting Dolby Vision, so you're not really getting the full experience, are you? I'm not even aware of a way to properly play back all DV content unless you're rocking a CCwGTV and Plex. Plex is easy. Consolidate your videos with some minimal organization (at least a folder...

Making my way through Doom: Eternal. It's a weird game. I can't tell if I'm still near the beginning of the game, or if I'm in the middle of the game, or even if I'm near the end of the game. There's just no sense of structure. I know it takes a ton of hard drive space for some reason so I'm...

Tempting sale but I bought nothing because I have everything I could want, and more.

I haven't played modern shooters with a controller but the aim assist is done in a specific way. For example, it won't aim for you, but it will lower the sensitivity when you're on your target. Console shooters usually have increased TTK to compensate for aim assist. In the end it still feels...

The entire presentation of it all is a lot less cringe than SF6. I've played every SF game heavily but skipped 6 because everything about it is painful. Tekken's presentation is thankfully straight-forward and within the tone of what I'd expect. Street Fighter 6 may as well have been designed...

Agreed. 10 months is almost a year. A small chunk of anyone's life, to say the least. Anyone who wants the best GPU regardless of value probably doesn't have the time preference to wait.

You might be right about that. I just know that my labels purchased through Ebay are significantly cheaper than if they were purchased through my personal accounts. I'm going to have to look into this Pirate Ship business. EDIT: Also, creating a website with the domain of a person you plan to...

First off, Ebay subsidizes shipping costs for regular sellers. I get something like half off my shipping costs depending on which service used. Usually I make a profit off my shipping fees. Second off, it's very easy to get the impression that Ebay always sides with the buyer, but that's not...

The right wing in the USA is completely controlled opposition. That's why this supposedly balanced democracy has only gone in one direction politically since WW2. Whether it be A.I., or anything else that actually matters, I guarantee you there will be a controlled right-wing politician or...

I'm just voicing contempt for people who support shitty business practices, in regards to the Rossman video. People who support shitty business practices are who enable these practices in the first place.

Where's Billy Mitchell when you need him?

You're in a field of snake oil. In most cases, the differences between DAC's might as well be a philosophical question. But to shed some light, if you're looking for the best sound quality, you're looking at a system of separates. This means a system with a separate DAC and amp (at minimum)...

It's funny to examine macro economic factors when there are much more obvious and significant cultural factors at work. The golden age of games were made by a completely different "crowd" of the people you'd find today in the modern gaming industry. It's clearly been infiltrated. These people...

Everyone should've seen this coming. Unless everyone already forgot where all the wealth went during industrialization. It's clearly not by accident either - it's by design and out in the open for anyone to see. America will be a third world country in a very short amount of time, and AI will...

I hope this is something you're doing for fun :p Also, the first few posts are pretty funny. I'd be surprised if the average person, even in a tech forum like this, knows what a reflow station is - let alone has access to one.

I'll be your buddy here. Louis Rossmann is correct. I don't follow Louis Rossmann, but I've always respected him as an IT professional. Him saying this just elevates him another tier of respectability. People who are suck-ups for shitty corporations who rip people off? You lost my respect...

It's fine. You missed out on Halo 2 online. People were very good with controllers.

Never heard of SAM in my life. Is it actually important? Or is this more...autism? (Not meant in a derogatory way)

The verified list is pretty misleading. I'd pretty much disregard it altogether. Too many games with poor support that are listed as verified, and vice versa. Use ProtonDb instead. It gives the more accurate picture (that 99% of games are playable on SteamDeck).

You made the right choice. Except for not getting the OLED.

99% of games that aren't brand new work pretty well on the Deck

Is that all the retarded shit I have to believe to think this game is fine and fun?

Do Early Access games that go on sale for significant discounts before they even release count?

What balance tweak are you referring too? FWIW I'm at the very end of the game and the game is way too easy. On the hardest difficulty, I'd argue the gameplay is almost non-existent. My inventory is full of items that one hit-kill groups of enemies, tons of ammo, etc. - how could I possibly...

I swear this game must have dozens of overhauls. I'm not sure which I would play if I ever returned to Stalker.

I don't get it. I mean, Alex Casey has the face and voice of Max Payne. Within the creative universe of Sam Lake, they are undeniably linked in some meta sense. But other than that, these games couldn't be further apart. Max Payne was a very tightly paced game, without a dull moment. Alan Wake...

This game looks like it could be fun. Then again, every F2P multiplayer game is filled to the brim with hackers. So I guess the fun must be dependent on how well you can delude yourself into the idea that you're on a fair playing field. Even paid multiplayer games have this issue. When they...

Thanks for the honesty. SWAT 4 had awesome A.I. for its time. Very dynamic for a shooting game. I've had cat and mouse manhunts with suspects who fled across the map, and it can even get a little scary. Sad to hear that this game's A.I. is far from what it should be.

There used to be a nice little setup guide on their website, but they replaced it with a lengthy video walk-through. I have it time-stamped to the part that is relevant to you. https://youtu.be/Y5r2WZAImuY?si=E4MnWbhcAHvp5ETf&t=385 The guide & installer recommends formatting the SD code fresh...

I'm very disappointed in you guys :P
