    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    Anyone have a good modern (ie Alpha 3.22 or failing that close to it) suggested keybinding mapping and/or instructional video? I'm running into the issue that some of the 'big' prefab keymaps (ie BuZZKiller) do not support my particular joystick setup and aren't necessarily easy to adapt...

    EK in hot water again?

    I am very suspicious of many techtubers but if this is accurate that's unfortunate. However after watching how some of those channels posted here reacted to the AMD firmware/AGESA/mobo issues last year, it appears they're less than dispassionate journalistic integrity driven than a lot...

    Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme + Arctic Liquid Freezer III - compatible?

    If there is anyone who is using an Asus X670E Extreme mobo + Arctic Liquid Freezer III (3), I'd appreciate your experiences. I'm trying to sort out once and for all if there is a compatibility issue with this hardware or not. Now, Arctic themselves mentions a potential compatibility issue...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    Its my understanding that as soon as 3.23 come in, the "Xenothreat" event will soon start. However, its very important to mention that NOW, before Xenothreat events start, you can play up to 5 missions related to them, in the Overdrive Initiative -...

    Pimax!!!...So instead of creating the 12x... They decided to make another 2 headsets on-top of the last 2 headsets...

    The Crystal Super is interesting, but with those kind of prices I expect OLED panels to do more than 90hz - at least 120hz. I'd be interested to see how they stack up to the latest from Varjo and similar, but ultimately the big concern for me is the openness of the technology. So far only...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    Oh I grant that people who are upset about only one and not the other for some reason, all other things being equal, doesn't seem rational. However, in the framing about how it makes people angry in the situation I postulated (choice to do something like a stock buyback or dividends, at the...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    Money goes out, but who it benefits both individually and in terms of the corporations a whole and how, can differ depending on many things. There's also differences between common and preferred shares, voting rights, if its public vs private etc. Even if you assume that the shares are all...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    I think an issue is that, while dividends for the benefit of shareholders to the exclusion of worker, customer and other stakeholders are frustrating in their own right and deserve to be critiqued, stock buybacks have to do with adjusting the perceived books and value of the company in a...

    AMD Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" Zen 5 Processor to Max Out at 16 Cores [Rumor]

    Best 360mm AIO Cooler?

    What motherboard did you find compatibility issues and how so? Did you mean to say it was an Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 or was it a Liquid Freezer 3? I'm still trying to sort out possible compatibility issues with the Arctic LF3 listed above and the Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme so if...

    The Rogue Prince of Persia

    Dead Cells expansions, including licensed ones, did very well and I can see how a roguelike Prince of Persia can work with the timeshift/repeat mechanic since the Sands of Time. The aesthetic is unique Honestly, I hear even the Lost Crown was actually a very well done metroidvania but...

    Google’s Pixel 8 and 8 Pro can now be located even with a dead battery

    Oh I'm aware that it doesn't use much power - a factor that makes it a useful addition when intended for use, but one that makes it more concerning if cannot be controlled or not without very granular process management inspection; you're not likely to be aware of a process drinking power...

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Kick Starter.

    This is a good reminder for me to return to Rising - I started off and was having an enjoyable time, but I never got a chance to finish before it ended up in the backlog as so many titles do for one reason or another.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Kick Starter.

    Anyone who's waiting for Hundred Heroes, don't forget that EC: Rising the prequel spinoff, has importable saves that will give content in Hundred Heroes.There seem to be some people who are making their "perfect" saves for import reasons, so those not into Rising's gameplay this may be...

    The Callisto Protocol (survival/horror)

    On the good side, if you got it through Humble Choice it IS the base version of the game, but comes with a coupon for use on Humble Store that gets you the Season Pass (which is all the DLC, including the expansions) for 60% off . That's another opportunity and overall picks it up cheap...

    Silverstone RM600 and RM61-312 - enthusiast grade cooling meets 6U server capability, optional rack mounting. Similar offerings?

    I've been looking for a new case for my NAS/home server rebuild project, and recently became aware of these two new cases from Silverstone - https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/rm600/ and https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/rm61-312/ - the...

    Best 360mm AIO Cooler?

    I'm guessing that AIO wise the LF3 would be one of the better candidates given it has a thicker radiator than most others out there - 38mm vs 27mm for typical aluminum Asetek variation designs that are the majority of other models. There are a handful of AIOs out there that may be worthwhile...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    Net Neutrality is conceptually a good thing; I find it concerning that certain vested interests attempting to just make up often contrary descriptions has worked as well as it has. In short, Net Neutrality just means that from a all traffic must be treated equally regardless of its type...

    Assassin’s Creed Mirage

    Yes. It is. However, all the reports of that basically stem from one supposed insider leak, that seems to have been reported over and overagain by others. Its from "insider gaming", originally as I understand it. The report is there are two characters, a samurai and a shinobi (the...

    Assassin’s Creed Mirage

    Ah, that' too bad, especially considering (if I am correct) they hired a pretty well known Persian-American actress to voice (I think) the Mentor of that bureau, so I expected the performance there to be decent story wise. As far as the counter thing I am guessing that they tried to split...

    Assassin’s Creed Mirage

    xz-utils backdoored

    Well admittedly I remember the time that some very core stable packages, notably openssl, used to sign tons of stuff, turned out t have a low key backdoor capable vulnerability (heartbleed?) because it was rarely updated. That was the time everyone switched over to libressl for a little...

    Best 360mm AIO Cooler?

    SENTRY

    I remember the Sanctum and Orcs Must Die games fondly which had a similar design, and always had an affinity for even "pure" tower defense if well done, so I'd be interested in this. I do wish the pricing would be a little lower/discount a bit better, but maybe the depth is worth the price...

    ZeroRanger - A legendary indie shmup you should check out, and "Void Stranger" a sokoban puzzler from the same devs!

    About a year ago I mentioned it briefly in a thread for another game, but i think it deserves it own - Zero Ranger - https://store.steampowered.com/app/809020/ZeroRanger/ - On its surface, it is an EXCELLENT vertically scrolling shoot-em-up in the best traditions of the Japanese genre. Its...

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    While I agree with this on a conceptual level, it is important to realize that the average person has the opportunity (note just opportunity, it doesn't mean inclination, quality etc...) to get that kind of exposure in ways that don't require sitting in a classroom with other upper-crust...

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    I'd have to look closely at the study, but I have to say that this is perhaps more of a change of measurement metrics than an absolute lessening of memory or performance. I seem to remember that the same was said of many other things, sky-falling style, in the past that have been incorporated...

    Has anyone tried the Arctic provided ones? https://support.arctic.de/lf3-m2modif - apparently my mobo is partially incompatible with the intended Liquid Freezer III for one build, but Arctic will send you a low profile heatsink for M.2 to replace the big bulky one on your mobo. I...

    New Arctic Freezer III 360mm, 280mm & 240mm Benches.

    Really glad to see Arctic is again hitting it out of the park on both price and performance for an AIO. Its even better that they have some great ancillary features like the 1700 socket mounting plate that in many cases you'd need to buy an aftermarket from Thermalright or Thermalgrizzly to...

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    I don't know anything about it, it may well just be the latest pump and dump asset that "oh hey you can mine with a CPU, FAST!". So much of crypto seems to work that way, or people are trying to make it work that way to their benefit. Chia, burstcoin and others had a short term in which...
