The RAM is dumb because the heatsink is totally unnecessary but GPUs can't look like normal cards anymore because their TDPs have increased massively necessitating huge rear end heatsinks. I prefer the clean styling of the Nvidia blower over that horrible gaudy thing you posted though.



I think my old-rear end graphics card is pretty neat looking


metal pipes = cooler? :downs:

Halo was objectively a really lovely game

It blew me away how some parts of the game where just a single level section copy+pasted over and over and over :psyduck:

Everyone did AMD in the 2000s. I did two generations of AMD and switched back to Intel.

Maybe it's time to switch back to AMD now that they're releasing a 32 core CPU :pcgaming:

I would rather use a ribbon cable than do anything with a CRT. I think my parents keep a CRT TV in their family room only because it would be too heavy to get rid of.

I remember my dad buying a new family computer, and it came with an LCD screen. The thing looked like it was bowing inwards all concave like :psyduck:
My dad said he saw the same thing too. Apparently if you've spent a few years looking at a CRT screen, your brain gets trained to try and flatten out the image so it freaks out when seeing an actual flat screen.

He's right though. And surround sound sucks, at least surround sound of the 5.1 variety. I'm sure the one person in the sweet spot enjoys it though.

Speaking of lovely old roleplaying games.
Is there a reason Second Life hasn't been replaced with something less lovely and bugged out the rear end? The game's nearly 13 years old.

This was mentioned in the SA sagas thread. The schadenfreude is off the loving charts.

They couldn't get into the 2013 E3, so instead set up their display in a parking lot over the road from the convention center :allears:
