    No Man's Sky - a procedurally generated sand box space exploration game

    Already really loved No Man's Sky, not sure i will play the new update, but i may end up. NMS has better base building than Starfield, but I think my main draw for Starfield was the ship building. Also NMS space combat (and combat overall) is below that of Starfield, both of which far pale to...

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

    This is where they fail for me. The days of the MMO Boom are pretty much over. Now it is a scrap for people not already in WoW, SWTOR, GW2, etc. You need to get people in to build some hype (unless you know its crap). Even Monster & Memories has free weekend tests, where anyone can play. I...

    Kinda like the difference between someone who takes a bite and sends the food back to the kitchen vs the Karen who eats everything but one bite and then tries to send it back

    Scorching hot! Roccat Vulcan 121 both Tac and Linear $39 Amazon

    This is what drove me crazy with linear. I would get extra characters when typing and would often end up jumping a lot more than needed in games

    Playstation Accounts Randomly BANNED By Sony & THEY DON'T CARE

    I don't know that a Bing search's results validate that something is a real event unfolding. That said, it feels like there has been a lot of recent events of "mass bans" with companies having to walk things back afterwards. I have a PS3 I haven't used in a few years. I am not sure I care...

    World of Warcraft Classic

    I have been playing Classic SoD. I find it fun, but have concerns about longevity of it, as it would be all too Blizzard-like to abandon it eventually. I had forgotten how much simpler WoW was back in the day, and how much I had missed that. No carpal tunnel inducing rotations all while...

    Cat6 bulk for wiring a house

    Just buy long fiber runs from FS.com, pre-terminated. that is what I did. Really easy to run, as well. I did SMF, but some prefer MMF.

    Does Steam Deck certified ‘work’ through GoG or other launchers?

    I am not sure if this works for all, but I installed my GOG game to a windows machine, and then copied the game folder across to my Steam Deck, and went into desktop mode and did an add non-steam game to "install" it to Steam. I was then able to select the Proton I wanted and I added the art...

    SAP Concur Authenticator App? How to avoid using my phone?

    I use a Yubikey and it does well enough for all the current use cases and avoids personal phone apps. As for BYOD, for where I am that died off due to VDI / DaaS implementation being crap. As for "its only an app", an app that is in some cases rolled out bundled with things like MobileIron or...

    Does Steam Deck certified ‘work’ through GoG or other launchers?

    Theoretically, yes. Cyberpunk on steam would automatically be set up to use Proton during install. Non-steam, you would have to do the work to get it to use proton.

    SAP Concur Authenticator App? How to avoid using my phone?

    Yubikey should work for SAP/Concur and also works with Microsoft. Office is now all cloud based, so there is no getting around the need for online accounts at the enterprise level. While I too miss the old days of everything not needing an account, those days are over, and there are some...

    SAP Concur Authenticator App? How to avoid using my phone?

    Sorry, I guess the only cell phone I admit to having going forward for work is a non-app-getting flip phone, then. This idea that you as an employee are expected to provide control of personal devices to your employer is a level of 1984-level shit I don't want to be a part of, and I am in IT...

    [Steam] Half-Life (GoldSrc) is free to keep until November 20

    It is now missing the line for the limited event. Looks like front end piece was pushed early, before the back end settings. My guess is the giveaway is actually scheduled to start tomorrow/sometime closer to the 20th and someone moved whatever changes early

    Starfield

    I think Starfield was overall a fun game, with a number of good things and a number of bad. Shipbuilding was definitely my favorite part. I look forward to seeing what modders turn it into.

    Need some help sharing a folder. Linux Mint

    To me, local means same machine, different users. Local network, means internal network, not past the firewall. I would say Linux is actually about usability but mainly for complex use cases. There is a reason that in the wild a large portion of file share platforms are linux based.

    WoW: 10th expansion; The War Within

    I played SWTOR for 2-3 years, up until about 2 years ago. I had one of every class, and a few duplicates for advanced class specailization. I actually enjoyed tanking quite a bit in SWTOR, but DPS ( and even tanking to a minor extent) was still a bunch of carpal tunnel inducing 7-8 button...

    Need some help sharing a folder. Linux Mint

    Windows sharing is definitely a lot simpler in many ways, but I prefer Linux. That said, my network is a close to even split of Windows vs Linux. If most every machine you have is Windows, then Windows is probably preferable.

    WoW: 10th expansion; The War Within

    Was able to recover my pre-WOTLK account a little bit before Dragonflight launch, and was able to get a few characters up to max before it went live. I then played Dragonflight to the point where Mythic+ was required for progression, even getting in a few Vault guild raids. It was Mythic+ and...

    Need some help sharing a folder. Linux Mint

    Workgroup would be more network sharing related and "machine based", without getting into things too deep and technical on networking. Linux groups are for security/permissions. In Linux you can set who can edit and even access a file using user permissions, but if you have a bunch of users...

    Need some help sharing a folder. Linux Mint

    Owner/Group are very relevant for Linux and sharing. I am confused now what you are trying to share if you aren't looking to share the directory (i.e. local only and only by a single user)... but are trying to share it. What is the use case here beyond wanting a place to place clips from the...

    WTB: 24 Ports+ 10G Switch

    If not listed, then not supported in every case I have come across. Based on the data sheet for the 4300 series, a few of the models do support, but not the 24X. My question would be why mess with 2.5 or 5 on your main switch? If you are going to invest in 10G, then go all in. That is what I...

    reformatting WD drive to 4Kn sectors?

    Physical sector size is set by the manufacturer. From what I remember, you can still format the disk to use a larger logical sector size, even if the physical sector size is not 4k, but regardless... the performance increase is minimal and you may as well go modify config.sys and autoexec.bat

    Starfield

    Basically, this. I rarely pay much attention to the hype the team that is overseeing creation of a game tries to drum up. The head of our internal "Dev house" promises he can have whatever app we need up and running within 2 weeks. I then go to the guys actually doing the coding to find out...

    Microsoft's deal to buy Activison/Blizzard for $67 billion - likely to happen, few obstacles left

    While I agree mostly (and am a GOG/CDPR fan), it seems to me that most of the ones being bought up by mega corporations are already shells of their former selves. Activision/Blizzard, even before the buyout, was just pushing out retread crap. Basically mega-corp buyout is hospice for dying game...

    It is definitely not the greatest game, but it isn't terrible (IMO) either. Not sure why you would be attacked for not liking it. I don't much care for Taylor Swift, but apparently lots of people do. I am OK being in the minority for both. Trying to tell people who enjoy something why they...

    Best Buy to stop selling DVDs and Blue-rays tech news?

    Microcenter has had better prices than i can get on Amazon. Newegg is only a buy if everywhere else is noticeably more expensive. Both can sell open box as new. At least at Microcenter it is noticeable if open boxed, and it is marked down accordingly. While they may not have the variety of...

    Gonna go out on a limb here and guess you are not a fan of the game, based on your numerous posts to this thread..... I usually just ignore threads on games I don't like, but to each their own.

    If anyone found a Magsniper and wondered why it was mediocre in damage.... its because it is a charge weapon. You have to hold down the fire button until fully charged for it to do full damage.

    Starfield

    After the spending a lot of time in the first play through, i speed ran to NG10. I did cheat a bit, by using console commands to set chance if variant to 100%. That did make it a bit more interesting, though only really the first 30 minutes, after that it is the same. It took about 3-4 hours...

    Starfield

    Default chance to get a variant world is 15%, so 85% chance you just get another "base" version of the world. This is why i used the console commands to set the chance to 100%. Even at 100% you have a chance to get a duplicate, so in the hundreds to see every possible variant would be valid.
