    Overclocking in 2025, do you do it?

    I tried it twice I think, ever. Then decided it wasn't worth the risk to system stability.

    We Can't Keep Making Video Game Stories for Players Who aren't Paying Attention

    One of the reasons I stopped reading novels many years ago is that I just didn't enjoy the writing or stories. There have been only a handful of books that have gripped me to the end.

    IP address banned

    I'm getting a message on my phone saying that my IP address has been banned. It's strange because it's not an account ban. Just my phone. The only way I can use the forum on my phone is by VPN. Is there any way to get an explanation or help? Many thanks.

    Battlefield 6 - What are everyone's impressions so far?

    No, I literally only had 10 minutes before being asked to do something. I’m sure there is weapon customisation, but I’ll have to dive deeper tomorrow. I just thought, if they wanted to hook people, the would start the assault class with an easier to control rifle. Especially if they wanted to...

    Battlefield 6 - What are everyone's impressions so far?

    I've only played about 10 minutes quickly. The graphics are very nice. Recoil was a bit wild as Assault class, but I guess they were going for realism rather than catering to the masses. I think I'll enjoy it, will have another go tomorrow.

    Handheld Emulation Device Thread

    I don't know if emulation talk is frowned upon here. Saying that, I have an Ayn odin 2 portal that should arrive Friday. Looking forward to that.

    If at first you don't succeed, try and try again

    There have probably been a few. The one that springs to mind is Darth Malak on KotOR. He could kill me in 1 or 2 strikes so I couldn't be hit. I had to run away to a spot where he couldn't hit me and use my lightsaber throw. And then leg it again and rinse and repeat. I think it took about 30...

    PC build

    I had a look at some US sites and they were either overpriced or didn't specify the components, leading me to believe they were probably substandard.

    PC build

    I think she is after suggestions for prebuilts because she’s not convinced that NZXT are good bang for buck. But I’m assuming she lives in USA so I can’t really help as I don’t know good sites to suggest.
