I feel kinda bad for the developers of Battleborn and Paragon. From what I've read they're very different games than Overwatch, but there's no way to expect or to escape its shadow. Imagine just years and millions down the toilet because of timing.

Those games are gunna be selling even worse if blizzard starts releasing new overwatch characters.

overwatch seems well made too, but I'm hesitant to take the plunge

It's endless fun! The main difference between tf2 and overwatch is that in tf2 if you find yourself struggling with one character you'll probably not fare any better with the others, where as in overwatch it's the opposite.

the game isn't too bad in terms of graphics demands because it has to cater to the audience still using whatever poo poo computer they use for mobas or something

I was actually able to run overwatch but it looked really bad and I'd like to be able to see what's going on if I'm ever to be depended on by my team. Zone control in overwatch reminds me of quake.

My post history is filled with my secret shame, which is that I love professional league of legends.

You should watch dominick cruz's fights, he's the best wrestler.

I've seen all of his fights except the two most recent.

I watched basically every UFC from about 100 - 170 or so, but then I got married and got an exec job and that was basically that for my free time.

His two most recent fights are really good, he's bantamweight champion again and just defended the belt against Faber. I'very been watching since Condit v diaz, and the first time I saw cruz fight was when he fought mitzugaki, and I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing, his style is so different from everyone else in the ufc.

I haven't a clue. The monitor just says no signal and no amount of rebooting has been able to change that.

Solvent posted:

That's probably just a dead video card. Have you tried taking it out, and plugging your monitor into your motherboard's port?

E: On another note, the Steam link's not bad. I can stream my desktop to the living room for 35 bucks. Steam controller is cool too, haptic feedback for the two thumb touchpads, good weight, and no real problems, really plug n play with the link.

I spent like 20 minutes just now unscrewing the side panel bolt with a knife and have determined that this motherboard port you're referring to isn't inside the pc and instead is on the back, sealed by a black piece of plastic that is bolted onto the machine with screws that I haven't got a screwdriver for. :sigh:

Solvent posted:

Good point. I apologize for not thinking of this.

So my computers have been notorious for not accepting the motherboard's port while a graphics card is installed. Since Matoi has it open, it might be productive to unplug the graphics card first. Given your seeming lack of knowledge on the subject, I suggest you do it GENTLY, and make sure you touch something metal just before you unplug it, so I was told, this will discharge any static electricity you might shock the delicate circuitry with... you do have a graphics card... right? Also, make a point to go buy some tools at the 99 cent store near you when you have a chance. Screwdrivers are cheap, and I forget other people aren't as accustomed to having a workshop full of crap to do basic stuff with.

Also, learn to change your own oil and replace your own brake pads. This is a general recommendation for anybody with a car.

... and make me a sig sometime. Please?

I'm broke so that's not going to happen anytime soon, if you post a sig request in my BYOB sig request thread I'll get to it in a couple of months, when I get a new computer.

The VGA/DVI cable can come undone with your fingers. If it's stuck in use plyers or a coin or something to start turning it.
The secondary port thing is only if you have a video port on your mobo as well as a GFX card

Your HDD should be fine though depending on the issue. The data can be recovered.

If you wish to see if it's just your video card you can boot it up and then look at your router's web UI to see if it says it's connected. Perhaps do a ping test to the PC to see if it responds (if the PC doesn't just go "I WON'T BOOT WITHOUT A VALID VIDEO CARD RESPONSE" though, some do.)


If you verify your PC can respond, it's fine and just a video card issue.
If it doesn't respond, could be any number of things depending on how far it boots.

I'm sorry but I don't understand any of this.

VGA/DVI = the video cable. (since you said it has screws and HDMI cables don't have screws, typically)
Some motherboards don't have onboard video port for a second port.

Depending on the issue, your songs and data are fine. (doesn't sound like a hard drive issue since it shows no video from the PC as far as you said)
Your router may track what devices are connected, if your PC connects and you can communicate with it on the network then you know your PC is working, mostly.

I don't understand anything about that router stuff.
