    Oldest gamer I know

    Going by that time frame, the year 1999 when Microsoft bought FASA and KILLED Mechwarrior. They basically turned it from what felt like a simulator to an arcade game. I had played MW 1-3, and I was even tickled when the Voodoo edition came out. I'll never forget that first time I launched a PPC...

    The Invincible

    I finished it. Every game you walk in is a walking sim. Anyways, if you love the atomic age era design, ya know that fun time between the 40s and 60s when it was all about rockets and space, you will love the game's visuals. It's pure Atomic Age eye candy. That being said...if you are not kinky...

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    PC Forbidden West. It’s wild how many things there are to do in it.

    Oldest gamer I know

    I’m also admitting I’m half a century old. I’m about 110 hours into PC Forbidden West, and I sometimes question why am I still gaming. Good to see my life choices are still valid. 🤣. I still have my late 70s Atari 2600, and I started PC gaming on my dad’s IBM XT with glorious games like...

    BANNED. 😉 What display did you end up getting? I’m going to build a new office where the gaming PC is going, and I’ve tapped the idea of selling the FW900 to finally be with a new screen.

    Ha. You get hung up on because they get intimidated and don't want to sound like they have no clue what they are talking about since they don't. So the call "accidentally" drops. If you got a real tech person, even if they heard you say you use it for gaming, they probably wouldn't even mention...

    Probably nothing. It's their way of looking for an easy way out to close the ticket. "User states adapter is being used for gaming - not supported. Case closed." You are 100% right in not giving all the info to commoner tech support. Let them figure it out. No need to provide extra details which...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I'm about 70 hours in, and her face is still not an issue. I mean she looks like some average person I'd walk by in public with neither a OMG how ugly or OMG how beautiful. She simply is. I do need to say Ultra Hard is an absolute PITA. Many hits = DEAD. Most hits are 50%+ damage to me. And...

    What are your favorite LAN party games?

    UT2004 Onslaught would be a lot of fun if you are able to get 8 people.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I mean how much money could they possibly lose if they don’t cater to the minority? Really the best is to allow multiple main characters as options. This will pretty much shut everyone up.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I have no clue, but it has made out for some excellent popcorn material. I even try hard to see what others are bitching about during the cut scenes. I stare at her and try to hate her like others, but I just don't see it. All I see is a damn animation for a small sort while. I neither like or...

    -Improved the visual quality of dust Was that the strange line that appeared in the dust texture animations?

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Exactly this. You can't just go charging in and hope for the best. You have to plan your attack and take advantage of your surroundings. Tag the bots you are attacking to concentrate on them 1 by 1. I grinded a bit for my 3 arrow shot, and I'm trying to max out my silent strikes.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Ultra hard is such a pain in the ass, and I LOVE it. It is what I would expect from fighting big chunky heavy robots with energy weapons. It really requires a lot of stealth I'm only about 31 hours in, and a few hours ago I passed to the main territory. I grinded a bit to get my triple arrows...

    I'm the oddball running 2235 x 1397 @ 83Hz calculated to 375Mhz pixel clock. No flickering and silky smooth when locked to refresh rate. I'm also on the StarTech DP2VGAHD20, and I do have a spare just in case.
