Anyone else having Fo4 crash to desktop kindof a lot? I mean my computer's heating my room pretty hardcore, and I've spent many many hours on the game, but man, even modded skyrim didn't crash this much. What I'm asking is if I should start upgrading this box?

What're your current specs? If it's hardware there could be a single bottleneck.

Why is repeatedly bludgeoning customers in the head with a breaker bar against company policy? And barely functioning employees. When I told you to be more confident, I didn't mean ignore something that seems out of place until I ring out your drawer and you're 60 dollars short you utter poo poo stain. And when a customer asks for a window switch, order a loving window switch, not a god damned motor so I don't have to drive all over the place to make sure we don't lose a chance to get a new commercial account. AND SHOW THE gently caress UP ON TIME YOU IRREDEEMABLE PIECE OF poo poo.

Black Mirror has some new episodes...but then again, I haven't watched anything new in a looooong time. The flash? daredevil? Netflix or amazon, GO GO GO GO!

I have always treated illness with port and brandy (general lurgy/fever) or ginger wine (ginger is great for settling your stomach), as i have never been a great fan of whisky. I have however this year started being able to drink whisky and even enjoy it so shall probably be migrating to the Whisky Mac as my new medicinal tipple.

Tomarse posted:I never noticed until now but it only has the E if its Irish or American. The general rule of thumb (though there are many exceptions) is that if the country has an E in the name, they spell it "whiskey." Else, "whisky." Canada - whisky America - whiskey Scotland - whisky Ireland - whiskey I think Britain is ambiguous (although it's probably properly referred to as "Great Britain" or "England.")

Mine locks up randomly every few hours while playing, forcing a hard re-boot to get out. My video card is a 4gb GTX 980 with the latest drivers from Nvidia (I updated the drivers to see if that was the issue). I'm only running in 1920x1080 also (although everything is on high/ultra). Temps are fine across the board, and after a re-boot it will play fine for another several hours before it does it again. ![]()

AND SHOW THE gently caress UP ON TIME YOU IRREDEEMABLE PIECE OF poo poo. It shouldn't be. The idiot I work with had a ram with no heat. He says nothing is wrong and cant find what the problem is. I walk over to where its parked and you can see a crack in the plastic of the radiator, and all the white lines of coolant draining down it. Same dude trys to weasel his way out cleaning all the time. He will even go so far as to try and finish a job I have waiting on parts while I'm working on another one. No job is a rush either and he was originally hired to clean the shop. Which for the past seven months he rarely does. I have a large vintage craftsman breaker bar in my toolcart at work and have many times had to stop myself from kneecaping him with it. When my old boss bought the three foot long half 1/2" breaker bar from snap on the guy on the truck told him "that should be big enough to beat some sense into him" To bad we never get to beat him with it.

I hear nice things about The Flash but if it's anything like Arrow it'll get a bit too melodramatic for its own good sometimes. Better Call Saul is excellent for some character drama but it's a bit on the short side. No idea if you've watched it yet but it's second season should start in a couple of months.

He's a brand new employee with like less than a month of experience, so I'm trying to be nice, but I can guarantee he's getting a sitdown with the boss after today. And its a shame he isn't working with me anytime soon, because our gaskets need to be in-house inventoried before the actual company inventory in Feb. ![]()

CharlesM posted:I actually have played many (many) hours and never had it crash... :P AMD supremacy? I used to run AMD/ATI back in the original Max Payne days. ATI is highly unlikely to have me as a customer again after all the bullshit with their catalyst drivers back then. So many issues that nvidia never had. I keep hearing about ATI still sucking fat dicks. My wife has a sempron in the box I built her and I'm...unimpressed. They feel like the Kia of processors. Getting better, but still a second-rate processor compared to Intel. You guys are so good at twisting my arm. I've been pining for a GTX980 for a while now. Subaru isn't weeping oil anymore, thank goodness, that means I can go to San Antonio for NYE and blow some poo poo up on my friend's property ![]() That garmin edge 520 is loving cool as hell, I really like it. Any of you cycly goons wanna give me some pointers on getting this new-fangled non-magnetic cadence sensor to wake up? It sure sucks rear end and I wish I could just wave a magnet in front of it to make it work. It refused to start until *after* my ride was over yesterday. e: what's boxing day? Why do lovely people like it? Is it like black friday's idiocy in the US?

MonkeyNutZ posted:Vasovagal syncope can sometimes result in symptoms that look like a mild seizure, might look into that. That's the truth. I have the exact same symptoms. I've almost blacked out more times than I can count from it. It gets worse the better shape I get in. If I'm a fat lazy layabout for months on end, the symptoms don't surface. If I do lots of running and cycling and get below 190 lbs, it starts coming on real bad. It's especially awful if I'm crouched for a few minutes and then stand up. It's like a wave of heat and blackness, I'm temporarily blind when it happens. My wife knows to stand near me these days because I reach for her to steady myself. I've only fallen a couple times. My wife is trying to enable me so bad to go get a 970. Today at the movies (TFA) the subaru decided it wanted to hard start ![]() What do you goons think? Wife approved vidya card.

Of course you probably need to upgrade your power supply for that, and then your motherboard and CPU to feed them, but hey, she approved and that's all just required infrastructure! ![]() Oh, and you'll need a nice 34" 4k monitor too!
