Yeah, F2P makes it harder to really rack up XP, but you can totally get around playing for free.

We've all been there. Also using my smallest pair of needlenose pliers to unbend pins that hit the socket. Pinless CPUs were like inventing fire.

Frankly, I preffered the pins to the Land Grid Array poo poo, that if you hit it with the corner of the CPU and bent a couple of the array pins, it was hectic hours with a needle to unbend them.



For most of my server hardware, I stick with Intel, but for desktops, I generally use AMD. Granted, my laptop has an i7.

Wasn't it the Opterons that were sold for cheap as unlocked server chips? That was like AMD's moment in the sun before they (and Radeon, Jesus) got brakes beaten off them by Intel/Nvidia.

Opterons were always server chips from the beginning. And generally, for the price, they are still the better budget CPU for servers especially if you need high core count for virtualization.


cowboy elvis posted:

Was it a video card back in the 90s or CPU that you could unlock the other cores by melting some lead onto the chip?

The AMD Thunderbird Pencil Mod is what you are thinking of:

You also had the AMD Athlon X2s and X3s that could have cores unlocked with the right Motherboard/BIOS combo.

Actually, maybe try Old Blood, then New Order.

Would be interesting to see how they play through chronologically.

Old Blood is before New Order, as its set during the War.

So play Old Blood first. That and Old Blood wasn't as good, so get it out of the way before playing New Order, which kicked rear end.

Same. Kinda wondering what's up with Billie's arm, considering your actions in one mission determine if she's missing it or not.

Also there's this:

What's more, Smith says that upon completing Death of the Outsider players stand to enter something called "original game plus" whereby Billie is equipped with Emily and Corvo's skillset from the base game.

:toot:

I wondered too.

Maybe this occurs prior to Dishonored 2, or assumes you don't change the timeline.

DEFCON is on sale on Steam for 85% off through July 5. We had a GiP 4 way murder zone earlier and it was pretty loving rad. Online multiplayer is dead as gently caress but it doesn't matter because it allows you to host/join games multiple ways.

An example of how crazy this game can get in a 6 way melee.

The disappearance of CRTs is actually been a big issue with people restoring classic arcade machines, not just for originality but because some of the machines were only designed to directly integrate with a CRT.

Why not a MAME distro?

Yeah, I play Warships from time to time. Fun game but every six months or so, I binge the hell out of it and then burn myself out for another six months or so.

Same. I mostly do WoW/WoT because I can do it in 15-20 minute intervals and then go back to doing work/home hobbies without having to really get into the game.

Unlike Kerbal, which just sucks down several hours at a time.

I played the gently caress out of WoW when Burning Crusade dropped. I stopped playing before the 3.0 patch and following expansion and haven't played since.

Friend of mine plays it still. I took a look. Apparently I picked a good time to quit.

World of Warships. I should have realized that would get misconstrued.

I will admit, I bought the Scharnhorst.

Origin got a bad name for breaking machines and installing drivers that were basically just malware/trojans that could hijack your machine.

Steam at least kept their DRM on the down low.
