    Gundam Breaker 4

    We're back, baby! https://youtu.be/kiEwPKg9Aco?si=zZ60o2_qkFM8dfq- Coming to Switch, PS5/PS4, and PC. Nice looking Collector's Edition, but only for PS5 and Switch. 😞

    Weird issue on LG B3

    I'm having a weird problem that I haven't been able to resolve. We recently got an LG B3 OLED, and it seems to work great with an HTPC, except if it's been idle for a long time with the TV off (overnight, basically). When the TV turns back on, the HTPC display is just "no signal". The machine...

    5.1 (or 5.1.2) speaker set sub-$600?

    I recently upgraded my AV setup to an LG OLED and Denon X1700H so that I can utilize 4K120. I'm still using some old Onkyo speakers (SKM-360s) and sub from two AVRs ago. They sound alright, but I can't help but think they are holding back the system in general. I've been trying to find a...

    Portable Screens - any that charge the Deck while playing?

    Long story short, I found a Thinkvision M14 lying around at work and decided to try it with the Deck. Works really well, does PD passthrough via USB-C so I only need Deck -> Display -> Power adapter via USB-C cables. It got me wondering if I could pick up an OLED or otherwise better portable...

    WTB Radeon 6800

    Looking for a 6800 for ~$350 shipped, ideally an AIB card but will entertain all offers. Seen others sold around that price so seems reasonable. Willing to do PP F&F with a trusted long-term member. My own Heat is in sig, a bit dated but that's because I haven't purchased in awhile.

    Dave the Diver

    Anyone else playing this? I didn't see a thread for it. Really fun game loop, I've been putting a lot of time into it and it runs great on the Steam Deck.

    RESOLVED - 5800X3D - Ram instability?

    I recently went from the 5800x to 5800x3D and a fresh install of Windows. Had issues even getting Windows installed without errors, and now I am getting MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSODs and failure to extract installation files, seemingly pointing to RAM. RAM settings are what they have always been -...

    Possible to get a worthwhile ~$200-250 upgrade for GTX 1080?

    New, used, whatever. I'm having trouble comparing performance on a lot of cards, it seems like many of the lower/mid-range 2xxx and 3xxx cards are barely better if at all. But at 1440p this card is definitely struggling with some titles on my SO's machine. Going to be upgrading her to a 5800x...

    Low temperatures an issue for NAS?

    Been trying to find info on this but it's not really clear from my findings. I have a Synology that I moved out into my insulated/secured but not heated shed, and the temps on the drives show in the 55F-65F range. It's possible it could get colder but probably not by much. The drives are...

    Cult of the Lamb

    I didn't see any thread on this - really awesome game, it's sort of described as Hades meets Animal Crossing. Roguelike runs with town/base building mechanics in between. If you get it, get it on PC - the console versions have a ton of bugs and issues.

    Over-ear headphones that are comfortable for long periods?

    So, I have several pairs of headphones and so far I haven't been having good luck with finding any that are comfortable to wear for over an hour or so. I dunno if my ears are abnormally large, or what, but I have a pair of Logitech G533s and some Hifiman HE-4XXs and both of them fatigue the...

    Ender 3 S1 - Initial Thoughts

    So I recently got my Ender 3 S1, and so far the initial impressions out of the box are really good. Easy to assemble (though I did watch videos ahead of time), and barely any configuration needed other than auto-levelling and setting the Z-offset. First print was a calibration cube and it...

    Anycubic Vyper - thoughts?

    I've been looking into getting a ~$300 beginner 3D printer, and I was looking pretty extensively at the Creality Ender 3 V2, but recently I saw a review on the Anycubic Vyper that said it was basically an Ender 3 V2 but with all of the upgrades that you would normally do. The price difference...

    Monster Hunter Rise - Switch Thread

    I couldn't find a thread for the Switch release, the only one is in PC gaming for the later PC release, so it made sense to create one here. 4 days! I am hyped. Got the collector's edition on pre-order, hoping it actually shows up on Friday. Feel free to post Switch friend codes if anyone...

    Deep Rock Galactic - 4-player co-op mining/shooting

    I tried searching but found no thread for this game. It's currently on sale on Steam for $20, after a free weekend. I picked it up today, and it's a lot of fun! Hopped into a couple of missions with randoms who were higher level but very helpful and friendly. It's basically a risk/reward...

    RTX 3080 vs Radeon 6800 XT - VR testing

    Didn't see a thread for this so I figured I would start one. Others can post similar articles as well if desired. https://babeltechreviews.com/vr-wars-the-rx-6800-xt-vs-the-rtx-3080-15-vr-games-performance-benchmarked/ Seems like the 3080 is on top in most tests, trading blows in others.

    RTX 3000 Series - Founder's or AIB?

    Just curious - are you in for the Founder's Edition push-pull cooler, or the standard AIB triple-fan setups? The new cooler sounds interesting but I wonder how it will perform as opposed to tried-and-true triple-fan designs.

    Weird issue with H100i + 4790K

    So, I have been using the H100i with my 4790K for about 6 years now, always worked fine. Temps usually got up into the 70s or 80s with a 4.6ghz overclock. Recently I replaced the fans on the rad with something a bit stronger. Idle temps stayed the same, but now with my overclock the temps...

    Non-Gigabyte OC Software option for Gigabyte card?

    Just a quick question - I recently discovered that the Xtreme/Aorus Engine software for my Gigabyte GTX 1080 is causing the display to not be able to enter sleep mode. Problem is, without this software loaded and running, I am unable to overclock the card to my normal speeds. Is there a decent...

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons

    Anyone else interested in this? I used to love the GC game way back in college. Picking this up thinking the wife and I might play it together. Amazon physical copies are delayed until March 24th, but no biggie for me.

    The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners

    Haven't picked this up yet, but may check it out with my Boneworks refund money. A bit more expensive, but apparently a lot more "game" than Boneworks from what I've heard. Anyone have any experience with this one? It's getting some pretty rave reviews.

    2080S + CPU or 2080 Ti?

    If I'm going to spend ~$1000-1500 on upgrades, and I'm running a 4790K at 4.6 GHz, would I be better suited getting a 9900KF and a 2080 Super, or just going for the 2080 Ti alone? Pretty much all for gaming, 1440p but may go 4K in the future.

    Logitech G29 + Shifter combo @ Rakuten - $234.97 FS

    Found this over on SD - was looking at getting this wheel for a long time, and currently there is a deal for just the wheel on Newegg for around $188, but with shipping and tax it brought the price up too far. This seems like a better deal, since you also get the shifter which is ~$60 itself...

    RAID Woes with Asus P6T Deluxe (v1)

    Wasn't really sure where to post this, but we'll try here. I recently rotated my i7 920 build out of "main PC" use, so I was going to reuse it as a storage / VM box to play around on. Using the Asus P6T Deluxe original version with the SAS controller. I did a full CMOS reset and started from...

    5.1 PCM via optical possible?

    I just bought a set of Logitech Z-906s (still rocking the 5.1 setup) and connected to my Sound Blaster Zx via optical cable. Found out that to get 5.1 audio you have to have a Dolby or DTS source, which most PC games apparently do not support. So, is it possible to get 5.1 PCM output via...

    Fanatical Staff Picks of 2018 Bundle - Up to 5 games, starting at $1

    Some really excellent deals here. The big one for me was The Sexy Brutale, which looks amazing. Some other good picks in there as well, and super cheap. Get one game on the list for $1, 3 games for $2.49, and 5 games for $3.49. Less than a dollar per game at higher levels...

    Just in Time Incorporated

    Didn't see a thread for this, actually a pretty fun little game. Fairly basic, but some of the puzzles did give me a bit of a challenge. Seems like it'd be a good game to demo VR to people, like Job Simulator and The Lab. Half off currently, worth the <$8 IMO.

    Bunch of 2 TB HDDs, best RAID/array solution?

    I've been coming into a lot of 2 TB enterprise drives recently and was thinking of getting an array going. Looking for an inexpensive (sub-$100) solution to build an array, ideally maximizing storage space with a bit of redundancy (RAID 5/6?). This would primarily be for media / general file...

    HyperV takes forever to Start/Stop

    Hello, Just starting to play with HyperV for the first time - got a rig up and running to play with, and it seems like regardless of the VM I try to spin up, it takes like 10-20 minutes for it to start or stop. Is this normal? I wouldn't say the machine is particularly slow, but it's not...

    WTB: LGA 1150 Motherboard for 4790K

    Hello, Recently came into possession of a 4790K and some RAM, so I need a motherboard to use with it. Not looking for anything too crazy, just something for a spare machine to do some testing on, probably nothing gaming-related. Sub-$100 would be ideal. Must have 4 DIMM slots, though, and...

    Bethesda at it again... (paid mods)

    Surprised I didn't see any thread or conversation about this - Bethesda announced in their E3 the intention of adding a paid mod system to Skyrim and Fallout 4. I seem to recall they tried this before and it did not turn out well for them... I think the downvotes say it all. I don't really...
