The CHUDS, as always, are out in force. I'm installing it right now, as there's no reason not to, since I've owned all the games since...forever. I don't think I'll be able to pull myself away from Abiotic Factor yet though.

I experimented with this a little bit on my new laptop, having the integrated RTX GPU and then also plugging in my eGPU with Radeon 6650 XT. It actually worked with very little trouble, especially with applications and games that allowed me to select my preferred GPU. That said, I only...

That seems like a bit of hyperbole; looking at PCGamers own testing, even without framegen, the 5060 seems to be outperforming the 4060 by a good margin at 1080p. Of course, I wouldn't pay the price they're asking...

Did you know you can lubricate PC fans? I had no idea. https://www.overclockers.com/em-spinning-lubricate-pc-fans/ I have this old (from 2018) laptop cooling pad that did service on an old laptop, which was acting as the driver of a TV. The laptop had a burnt out CPU fan (of course, it was a...

Really doesn't seem too relevant to blacklist, as people seem to just default to buying Nvidia GPU's anyway.

This is interesting, thanks. Also funny, as @neogunhero pointed out the irony of the situation; much like how lobster used to be perceived as peasant food. No one wants to buy my old laptop for some reason and I'm not sure why. I even threw the 512Gb drive back in and dropped the price, since...

90% gaming, but other little things here and there. Research, watching TV, fussing with my network equipment, etc

I remember using the Construction Set to edit that spell into the game, making a vendor who could also sell it. I also made the same vendor have essentially infinite money, so I could just sell whatever to them. Still at it with Abiotic. At a certain point, the teleporting monster seems to...

Good luck, Zed. Hoping everything goes well for you, send us an update!

None of my installs do that? Wonder if it's related to OneDrive; Microsoft likes to try and force you to use it, so it enables it by default and you need to go turn it off. They'll automatically save all your Documents, Pictures, etc to the OneDrive variants of local folders, so they can...

Was just looking a little closer at this again and honestly, the promo ones don't appear to even be in the same scale or even made in the same resolution. The promo ones look more like they're 10th scale, versus the actual mini which should be at around 28-30. Hard to tell just from pictures...

I feel like this is usually how it goes with a lot of mods. With Oblivion, I took a very light touch and though I stopped playing, it wasn't because of over modding it, as I've done in the past. The games are so good vanilla anyway. I've played hundreds of hours of the series at this point...

It's been awhile, several years now, but I had it and my wife had it on a separate PC and then it reared it's head again a few years after that, having gone back and thinking it must have been solved by now. I kind of suspect that it's dependant on the game. As mentioned, HoMM 6 did this to...

Was just coming to post this! Having had a handful of these style of D&D minis given to me in the past, I'm not at all surprised. The promo material is absolutely misleading, but based on the ones I've seen in real life over the past couple of decades, these are exactly on par.
