I propose a competition sir; if this is real and I'm right, I will eat a large slice of delicious chocolate cake. If the product is fake and you're right, I will eat yet another slice of delicious chocolate cake, but feel great shame while doing so. This way I can have my cake, and eat it too. (plus yours)

repiv posted:I don't think the H77MA-G43 supports PCIe/NVMe booting, searching for info just turned up people trying to use weird BIOS mods to get it to work Cheers for looking injury that for me. I'll get that instead. I'm still blown away by being able to get 1TB SSD. If it wasn't for the hassle of reinstalling windows (and my rig being my home work machine at the moment due to covid) I'd replace that 250GB one too. Although now I'm thinking I'm so out of touch with this poo poo that there's probably a one click windows 10 option to clone your full windows install onto another hard drive and switch to it seamlessly.

Yeah copying Windows from one drive to another is really easy, use this: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree (the free version is fine)

Cool, thanks for that. I guess I'm of 2 minds about it though. Like on the one hand 250GB has been more than enough for just windows and other programmes and having the smaller drive means I don't get into the habit of storing other stuff on it. Then I have to deal with recovering that if anything goes tits up with the drive. On the other hand it's using up a SATA port and reducing my overall capacity. SSDs are far more resilient and durable than plate drives from what I understand though so maybe that's just outdated thinking.

My nth spindrive is making clicking noises now, my early Samsung ssd has lasted without issues since I built this computer. When the big boy dies, I'm going pure SSD, no question.

John Murdoch posted:The new machine was a Christmas gift from my dad, bought off a coworker that had gone all out to make a then-OTT gaming machine only to realize he didn't have the time to actually play anything on it (or something like that anyway). Despite being a gift I had to pony up half the $$$ since it was a fair bit of money. Unfortunately my dad is both the main tech head of the house and also crippled by ADHD like the rest of the family, so once the machine was set aside it stayed set aside. After all, my current machine wasn't literally on fire, so why worry about it? And he'd have to go through all the trouble of reading the manuals for the mobo and the case and get everything all set up nicely and that's such a hassle, y'know? And he had other poo poo on his workbench so imagine the sheer nightmare of having to move those things aside to make room.

Zereth posted:Sounds like the lesson here is never pay your dad until you have whatever you're buying in your hands. The money went towards the hardware, not the labor of getting it working. So he didn't fail to deliver in that sense; we also live in the same house so I could go look at my inert box of electronics any time I liked. It's less about him being an rear end in a top hat by failing to live up to his end of a transaction and more him being an rear end in a top hat in a more general personal capacity. (And yeah, I know legos for adults do it myself, but my life was also on and off on fire for the last couple years so I didn't exactly have the spoons to do it either. Though if I knew it was mostly down to moving some harddrives around and plugging some stuff in I would've...)

On one hand, it''s good to hear that Crusader Kings 3 has a UI that's easier to use, which would be good for someone like me, who tried Crusader Kings 2, and got intimidated by the UI. On the other hand, I've gotten quite a few of the DLCs for not just CK2, but also Europa Universalis IV through Humble Bundles. Now, though, there's a new iteration of Crusader Kings with a better UI, but will probably end up having tons of DLC for it down the road, and I still haven't learned CK2 or EUIV. What I'm feeling is less anger, and more

I had some skepticism for CK3 to be worthwhile at release but so far it has been quite good, I'm sure 100+ hours in the cracks'll start showing better than they do now, but at the moment it's looking like their best initial release to date.

Well, if you can get a hundred hours out of it before any of those cracks do start showing, then it certainly was a solid investment anyway, so silver linings. The glitch thread has already has some funny events, such as - shock and horror! - the father of a character revealing to her that her sister is actually his daughter! Oh no! It's no Roger a Muirebe, but it's nice to see that deep down, it's still the Crusader Kings everyone knows and loves.

Honestly, between flat shading and N64 textures I'm not sure which is worse. Obviously this is leaning heavily on the more retro aesthetic but there's only so many nominations one can have for a decent Star Fox-alike.

Oh wow I guess Ultrakill surprise released today. ULTRAKILL is a fast-paced ultraviolent old school FPS that fuses together classic shooters like Quake, modern shooters like Doom (2016) and character action games like Devil May Cry. Mankind has gone extinct and the only beings left on earth are machines fueled by blood. But now that blood is starting to run out on the surface... Machines are racing to the depths of Hell in search of more.

Waiting on a few reviews but if ULTRAKILL’s quality matches the DUSK / AMID EVIL branding that’s an easy purchase.

It's a bad game you might enjoy for a few hours depending on your ideas of a fun time, but it generally still sucks because fundamental issues were never changed from release until today and the core concept is just flawed.
