So good. Just the idea of sound/sound drivers being something you ever had to think about is such a hilarious idea in this day and age. But oh my hours of time trying to get serial cable null modem LANing was like brain surgery. And don't forget life when reboots took like 2 or 3 minutes made change...

So far on teh new PC I've only been playing VR stuff but Half Life: Alyx is definitely worth the hype. I can only really comfortably play for about an hour at a time but it's clearly the first truly killer app in VR (other than Google Earth and Tilt Brush). I like Super Hot VR too but maybe not quit...

Happy Pops day to all the pops!

Ahh that explains it. Thanks for the insight both of you. No need for tweeeeeeaking in this day and age.

Gents, as I recently wrote in the specs thread, the new PC is all up and running. I'm re-using the same RAM that I had in the old PC, a set of 2x G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4-3200 DIMMS running at 15-15-15-36. The AIDA64 memory benchmarks came back with some interesting results: http://enderzero.net/...

It's the all new all new all new Specs & Bench thread! I had fun going back and reading this . The new PC is UP & RUNNING. Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz 6-core Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Windforce OC 3X 32GB (2x16) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 1TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0 M.2-2280 NVME 14...

So great. Yeah I'm loving it. Considering we got started slightly later I think we've about decided to stick with one.

I think you'll see he's taking after his old man already...

Looks cool. They did a pretty good job of making a game title that is hard to find. If you google "Resolutiion" it auto corrects and if you search for Resolutiion Game then you get articles about game resolutions.

Whatreyasayin??

I'm doin it. I'm taking the plunge! Goin 2070 Super.

I feel like my PC knows I'm planning to upgrade soon. Been buggy city this week. Restarting explorer every few hours and chrome moving like molasses. IT KNOWS!!

Bos what are your kids names and ages? How's parenthood treating you?

https://media.giphy.com/media/mA2CwU5lPjp9wqAu9m/giphy.gif So this thing I helped make almost 3 years ago is finally out! You can watch Breakarate on Amazon Prime Video now (assuming you have Amazon Prime). There's some pretty incredible period-authentic visFX and I have a feeling the Big Trouble f...

I'm sure one of these bad boys would push your small peoplem around just fine.

Wowzers that's some pixel pushin power! Cool didn't know about the 3000 series. I'm not in a hurry. Just bored.

So as I've mentioned I don't do much of my gaming on my PC these days. Mostly that's on account of the fact I converted to a full time standing setup and playing games and standing doesn't strike me as fun. That said, since the 'Rona started I moved my Xbox to my office/garage TV which is also hooke...

What you rockin', where you headed?

I finished Sundered as well, I got all the Elder Shards and finished my upgrade tree. Odd the game kinda got easier towards the end since I was so powerful. But a very cool game nonetheless. I'd go so far as to give it a :star: :star: :star: :star: :halfstar: I'm not so sure what to go into next. Ma...

WELCOME HOME!!

And the funniest part, was that you were on mushrooms the whole time!!!

I'll look into SSL. What purpose does it really serve if we ain't exactly inputting credit cards here?

Wow so cool Bos. Can't wait to hear more of the results.

Isn't it so funny how we all use our high powered PCs to just play games that are trying to be like cool games from our childhood (or literally emulate cool games from our childhood).

I've done just about everything in Sundered and been an hour or two away from completing the ability tree like 4 times now but the stupid save game keeps resetting to an earlier save. I thought it was something I was doing wrong until it just happened when I was extra careful. I reported the bug and...

Well worth adding Vimeo BBCode for that one!!

Haha, I have never seen the Encabulator video and am crying.

Cool! Weren't we going to make this at some point?

And this is the video that has cracked me up the most recently.

Internet comedy videos become great.

First evar internet video I can remember being a phenomenon aka meme.

Okay monkeys, get yer nominations in. This thread is a collection of the funniest internet videos of the internet age of all time evar. Single video per post.

I'd definitely like to mention Enderzero wiping my Nokia 6160 contacts for April fools day (he had special computer software to backup and restore Nokia data).

Heh, I have no memory of that (pun intended).

I don't know why I went to all the trouble to write this other than I woke up yesterday morning half dreaming about posting it and so decided to do so. Feel free to weigh in with your own personal histories. Maybe we can expand to other personal electronics in other topics. enderzero's cell phone hi...
