univbee posted:one thing i do miss is an im client that lets me use custom smilies (like importing the sa ones) in a way where it actually gets sent to the person i'm chatting with in a way where they don't have to have the same customizations. MSN messenger was awesome for that QQ does this, but it's chinese so it's not that popular in the us

tbh for non-related fields (so non-chemistry heavy majors) i could see it being a thing because you only really need a general knowledge and you're not ever going to use it again they were pushing it for the chem major chemistry lab though and that's just sort of a recipe for disaster

Blackula69 posted:i have an i5 2500k and a gtx 670 with windows 7 and there have literally not been any huge upgrades to those components since i bought it except in power efficiency (except in windows lol) i doubt it will for some time; right now console developers are awash in having more than half a gig of RAM so nothing's going to push stuff too hard except in that regard (and getting 16GB of RAM is easy these days) although the new thing seems to be 4k resolution but aside from dickwaving i haven't seen it actually provide meaningful differences in graphical quality

Phoenixan posted:i honestly thought that game graphics haven't actually evolved much further than that of half-life 2 episode one except with more post processing effects layered on top nah, everything looks tons better, just compare episode 1 with battlefield 4 or something the biggest difference though is that in 2006 (or 2004 for hl2) everything was a strict linear path and looked like that, whereas battlefield has gigantic maps and looks ten times better
