Frosted Flake posted:That's awesome thanks. Do I need special tools or solder or anything? I grew up with Macs and only ever played on Xbox before now. There are only a couple of things that you can really screw up when building a new pc. Just pay attention to how your processor is oriented when you try to put it in the motherboard. There is a notch out of one corner that makes it only fit one way. Do t try to force it to fit any other way or you will bend the pins and ruin it. Once the processor is in, make sure your heat sink has thermal paste on it before you put it on the processor. Almost all of them should but if not you have to buy paste and put a dime size drop on the processor. Finally make sure you read your motherboard layout diagram to see where to connect fans (case fans and CPU fans go different places) and you can get your USB ports, leds, and power buttons on your case to work right. If you can do those three things you can easily build a pc in 2 or 3 hours.

I just built two new rigs over Christmas and I didn't even notice that intel chips don't use pins anymore. I just remove the cpu from it's plastic and put it directly into it's socket. I guess that just goes to show how easy things are today compared to how it used to be.

Just got back from a Cobra Gold and some Korean Amphibious Assault demonstration. My wife bought me a Switch while I was gone. I went to the electronics store in town to buy Zelda since it's dual Japanese/English. This is a good Zelda game. I am not sure what else I am going to use this thing for but I'll be damned if I'm not having fun with it for now.

Two Finger posted:yeah i was playing as rome and just like idk wtf they're like ok you should go take this town so i sent my army to do so and then like 3 armies of theirs took the town i'd just taken I have owned pretty much every Total War game but I never get further than loving around in my own custom battles. I usually switch between trying to defend against a horde of the cheapest enemies using only siege weapons (trebuchets, catapults, cannons, etc) and then attacking with the conscripts against a fort. Ohh and in Empire Total War I would use the exploding rafts against the most expensive ships for the enemy. Something must be broken in me because I can do the same type battles with small variations for hours like this.

This old quad core just ain't got what it takes anymore. I have an ASROCK Z170 Gaming K4 https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboards-FATAL1TY-Z170-GAMING/dp/B012D7GXNK You can have it for the cost of shipping if you'd like. I thought it was a bad Motherboard and bought my wife a new one. Turns out it was a bad stick of RAM. Now I have an extra motherboard sitting in my spare bedroom. Put an I5 6600K in it and you can overclock the crap out of it if you like.

Monster Hunter XX on the Switch is pretty drat fun. I can't read Japanese for poo poo but I've been stumbling around with my son and managed to make it to the 2 star quests and upgrade some of my armor. I don't know if it will get an english language port because Capcom probably thinks it'll take sales from Monster Hunter World but it's everything good about the 3DS games without the lovely portable console controls.

Pinball FX 3 came out for Steam, PS4, and XBONE a few hours ago. With it came a new 3 pack of pinball tables called Universal Classics; which includes ET, Back to the Future, and Jaws. Usually there is at least one lovely table in their sets but all three of these are really fun.

What the gently caress is going on in Metal Gear V? I've spent the last hour as half blind Snake, missing a hand, and following some dudes rear end crack around while futuristic hit men kill all the doctors, nurses, and patients. Meanwhile levitating fire girl summons flame demons and moves concrete slabs with her mind. I played metal gear back on the PSX and again on the PS2. It was convoluted but nowhere near this batshit crazy. Does this get any better because I am about to set this one down and admit I am not on the same drugs as the dude who wrote this poo poo. Edit-Yeah now a fire whale came out of the sky and ate a helicopter and levitating fire girl hopped on a flying fire unicorn and rode off into the sky.

tastefully arranged labia posted:Okay so ElMaligno piqued my curiosity and I bought Caves of Qud. I'm a veteran of NetHack and Dwarf Fortress so it's not unfamiliar, but the content is new for me since I didn't get far into HellMOO. Trying to figure out a way to shrink the size of the tileset since it is huge. Is this similar to Tales of Maj'Eyal? I am a sucker for rogue likes and used to play the poo poo out of old school MUDs because I am a turbo nerd.

tastefully arranged labia posted:Never played that one. Dying frequently learning the mechanics since I don't want to run to a wiki and spoil figuring it out. It's a little uncomfortable since I'm so used to DF adventure mode where you have to interact with everything in complex ways. Like I'm used to "use right hand to grab enemy's left third finger and use left hand to bash enemy's right eye socket with silver hammer" whereas this is more like NetHack's direction+attack button/hotkey. Yeah I used to play Dwarf Fortress but never really got too far in adventure mode. I do remember sneaking into a village and murdering all the children at night. When the parents woke up and found their dead kids one of the moms went beserk and killed a couple of villagers. That in turn caused a spouse to beserk and the entire village spiraled into a giant brawl that killed everything except some of the livestock. Regular fortress mode took too many 3rd party programs to really get running smoothly. I have played a bit of rimworld since. TOME is a traditional roguelike that switched from Tales of Middle Earth over to generic fantasy. It's free from the website and like 8 bucks on steam if you want to support the dev. It's got a couple of nifty tile sets and plays pretty well with keyboard or mouse controls.

I have two regular PS4s but never upgraded to the PS4 Pro. I see Microsoft has a new XBox One X thing out that is supposed to offer true 4k video game rendering and 4k Bluray optical drive. It's 500 bucks but a UHD Bluray player itself is like 300 dollars right now. Am I insane to be thinking about buying one of these things to use on my fancy 4k TV that I have never used anything 4k on before?

I know the XBONE S has been slashed in price but I don't know if it's worth another 250 dollars to get the fancier one. I will probably just sell one of my PS4s since I don't use them anymore.

I haven't played the previous 5 games but the new Forza is a lot of fun and looks great on my Xbonx. My hands hurt because I grip the controller too tightly when racing but I must have gotten 5 hours straight out of the game before I had to take a break.

"Now you're not sleeping and we're not junkyard hounds. We're diamond dogs." Just started since I have the game for my xbonx. We'll see how it is. So far the story has been batshit crazy and I don't think it's getting any more comprehendible.

Missionary Positron posted:Holy poo poo, that's scummy. Also, an expansion after the game has been out for what, three months? In 1996 a N64 game cost $60 ($94.37 in 2017 dollars). In 1996 a Playstation game cost $50 ($78.64 in 2017 dollars). Despite inflation and the increased cost of creating more and more complex games, consumers have been very resistant to price increases. What we are seeing now is a direct consequence of the smaller profit margins per unit sold.

Third World Reggin posted:I love microtransactions Barbie houses in MMOs are some of the less egregious microtransations. Granted 100 bucks is way too much but I've spent money on appearance armor, housing, and mounts in EverQuest 2. Then again I also put thousands of hours into the game so throwing a few bucks to make my character look cool never felt like a big deal.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:impulse bought a used Switch and thought a portable RPG would be amazing. Thought the box art for xenoblade chronicles 1 looked dope, but that was the extent of that. So figured I’d check the second one out: Take a look at the Octopath Traveler Demo. Otherwise Disgaea 5 is really fun if you skip literally every single cutscene and don't try to pay any attention to the terrible story. Grinding levels and breaking the game with crazy mechanics is super satisfying. I put like 60 hours into it before I got bored and sat it down.

brand engager posted:Don't put a linux on your desktops Linux is pretty great if you dont want to play videogames. You can get a windows like gui that has all the native apps for word processing, spreadsheets, email, and internet that can easily be locked down to where the end user can't screw anything up. It's idiot proof and super reliable once things are setup correctly. DoD should have gone to Linux years ago instead of paying through the nose to keep Windows XP limping along way past it's usefulness.

There was a big Xbox digital game sale and I needed some stuff to play on my Xbonx so I bought Assassin's Creed IV, Dishonored, and Life Is Strange. Been playing through Assassin's Creed and it's actually pretty decent. I've never played any of the other games before so I am not sure what the gently caress is going on with the storyline but sailing boats around and shooting poo poo is pretty fun.
