  1. can't believe - in a span of a year we got from RAM being so affordable and available to just fucking NOT, that we have to repair RAM. So, great news, I guess?!

  2. While I prefer the base Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, its standalone expansion (Mysteries of the Sith) has one of my favorite Star Wars aesthetics of all time.

    It captures the dark, "gritty" feel that people often talk about with shows like Andor, but it does so without abandoning what makes Star Wars what it is, as Andor did.

    The Albino Lady just threw something called DLSS 5 at me. How do I look? Any improvements?

  4. Intel has officially launched its Arrow Lake Refresh (Core Ultra 200S Plus series), featuring the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus. After the initial Arrow Lake launch struggled to win over gamers, this "Plus" refresh aims to reclaim the gaming crown. Intel is reporting a 15% boost in gaming performance over the previous 200S models, achieved through increased efficiency core (E-core) counts, a 900MHz boost in die-to-die speeds to reduce latency, and aggressive pricing—specifically the $199 Core Ultra 5 250K Plus—that directly undercuts AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series.

    NixOS isch ez nöd gad s fründlechschte System für Neuling, aber 1. hed GLF out of the box so zimli alles debii, was s (Gamer-) Härz begehrt und 2. han ich ide letschte paar Jahr scho so vill Docker Compose configs gschribe, das mir de deklarativi Aasatz vo NixOS zimli vertraut vorchunnt.

    Und boy isch das e geniali Sach!

    Plus: Wenn ich d Ziit finde, stüür ich gärn no paar Ziile code dezue, Übersetzig you know.

    Open Source, so guet!

  10. Totally understand software devs needing to find ways to generate revenue, but this is the first time I've seen an ad redirect before going to a download link. I wonder if we'll start to see more of this as time goes on.

  11. With todays prices I would not be able to have afforded my pc. Not even close. That memory cost 400 Bucks total. 9 months ago.

  12. Thermal paste shouldn't look like this. Especially not on a device that is only a couple of months old. Replaced it with some Corsair XTM70 thermal paste and will have to see if things get better.

  13. ChatGPT: 29. January 2026.

    This is what hundreds billions of dollars, total collapse of consumer computer market, worldwide sociopolitical negative disruption and climate destruction on global scale gets you.

  14. If there are any retro gamers out there who haven't played the incredible RollerCoaster Tycoon games, Humble currently has a great bundle: just $10 for all of them, and the charity it supports sounds like an incredible cause.

  15. Big "I want a #flp02 but there's no way I'm spending USD250 for a case" energy

    The base chassis is a Gamemax Titan Silent. The intake bezel and top panel are 3D-printed. The side trim is stripwood (should have used plastic stock). The display module is a Digole serial unit, being fed system stats with custom code. A sticker covers the original top-mounted port openings.

  18. If you own an AMD GPU and use windows (can't confirm on any other OS)... Beware of their latest con.

    The newest adrenaline drivers, contain a 34GB AI package that they're trying to force down users throats.

    Make sure you check and do not allow them to auto update.

  19. I've had my eye on this game for a bit but never bought it until now, when I spotted it in a Fanatical bundle for ~$1.50 ($6 cheaper than its Steam historical low) if I bundled it with two other games.

    Playing for about an hour so far, I'm really digging it! It has such an old RPG feel to it, with all the charm. And, of course, if you have ever enjoyed RuneScape, a lot of it will look and feel somewhat familiar as well!

  20. So, I've decided to give GOG another chance in light of the ownership change. I don't plan to ever make it my PC gaming HQ again like it used to be (Steam is too good) but I'm definitely missing the GOG experience in some areas.

    :spinningdisc: That said, what are some retro PC games that you would consider must-plays?

    My GOG library is over 850 games, so chances are, I've played a lot of them but I'm curious if anyone has recommendations I might have missed!

  21. This game showed up on my Steam recommendations just now and it looks outstanding. We have a lot of Doom-style retro shooters ("Boomer shooters", though I hate that name), even some Quake-style ones, but not so many that are inspired by Wolfenstein.

  22. apparently NVIDIA, AMD and Intel forgot that C in CES stands for "Consumer" and most consumers don't give a shit about AI and don't want to pay additional "AI Tax" for their products.
    Basically AMD announced AI even more, Intel announced AI in your games and that they cane make even more fake frames than competition and NVIDIA announced DLSS (AI) for a fifth year in a row. Pathetic.

  23. I created a Wattpad account which I aim to use for uploading any sort of RPG "character journals" that I write down. When I play RPGs, I tend to really roleplay them as if I were actually there and I figured I'd upload modified versions of the "journals" I write in my RPG Obsidian vault.

    I'm currently working on modifying and uploading the journals of my current character in the Pillars of Eternity games, which will be released in episodic format.

  26. Possibly too ghetto even for *my* unrefined palate (or if I'm really honest... is it just ghetto enough?).

  27. System Shock 2 Remastered: Did they actually change anything? It looks like the original version, or it has not changed enough for me to notice.

  30. Just finished #Deathloop. I would have loved to be in the dev meetings when the "day" was planned out. I really enjoyed the game concept, and the player-controlled Juliana was always nerve wracking.

    I may go back and try to wrap up some side missions I missed along the way.

  31. Is it worth dipping ones toe into Outer Worlds in 2024? Never player, looked like fun?

  32. Check out my rig! @chris I can turn on/off the RGB lighting on the front so it isn't too overpowering. The only RGB that is always enabled are the back fans. Also goat morning to you too! 🐐

  34. Unless you're using #DDU at least twice while trying to install a single update, are you *really* updating your GPU drivers?

    Side note: I have an issue in Win11 where Task Manager will freeze if I update the GPU driver without doing a total uninstall of the old version first.

    .
    Does anyone (preferably an employee and a woman and/or a #LGBTQIA2S+ person) know if #Blizzard has cleaned up their trash behavior towards #women (including #trans women) and #Queet people?
    .
    I would like to play #Diablo4, as I have been playing the series since the #beta for the original #Diablo #VideoGame on #PC, and I have logged umpteen thousands of hours on them all. I still have my original #Diablo2 discs, and install it on my desktop every so often.
    .
    I want to play the game, but not enough to stand with shitty companies and their #abusive #businesspractices, so I will not be buying it unless I know that they have cleaned up their act.
