    Oh, and has anyone here tried Stellaris? We should all talk about it to torture Dwwojcik because he can't get it for another few days. I'm sort of thinking about it, but I'm not sure if I will enjoy it enough to justify the (admittedly quite reasonable) price right now.

  2. I've had my current PC for almost 2 years at this point.  I have 30 GB of space left over on the SSD, which isn't all that much in my opinion.  This does include the programs I've installed on it of course, since I didn't want my OS to be the only thing getting that sweet sweet speed boost.  If you install literally everything on your D drive you'll be fine on the C drive, but it would end up being a bit of a waste.

    Here's a question.
    Have a link: https://www.caseking.de/en/pro-gamer-pc-configurator-sipc-903.html#t=a1c4f,j0m6A0

    Would that be a good combination of bits and pieces to play me some games?
    I don't have the financial means to buy that yet, but I'm just curious if that would be fine, or if you'd swap some stuff out for better bits and pieces.

    I'd keep the i7 to be honest, there does seem to be a trend towards better multi threading in games.  And normally I'm a bit pro-AMD, but right now I think Nvidia is the better choice in the 980 range.  Definitely wait for the new generations of processors to come out though, if Zen and Polaris are as good as they say you'll want to consider switching over to AMD.

    Also, I'd put in a larger SSD.  My C drive is 120GB as well, and it's feeling a bit cramped.

  4. Yeah, I played it.  It's funny that you should say that, because many people are complaining that Battlefront II supported as many as 128 players and that 40 isn't enough.  To be fair, it's more a problem with the way spawns work than the number of players.  And I won't deny, I'm guilty of spawncamping the rebels on the first stage of Hoth in an AT-ST, they were beating us pretty soundly and I like to think that I bought my team the the few seconds we needed to win.  By the end one AT-AT was down and the other took its shot on the Shield Generator with something like 10 health.

  5. Redstone Arsenal is a TeamCoFH mod, I'm sure CoFH Core is a dependency.  It's also possible that the pack developers used CoFH Core for the ore generation.

    In addition to Railcraft, Engineer's Toolbox has ore-doubling and such.

    Given that Hexxit 2 was promised sooner than Tekkit 2 (Although this may have changed when Skuli left, because I think he was the one that was working on that plan) it's possible that Tekkit Legends is intended to succeed Tekkit Classic (I mean, just look at that mod list) as opposed to Tekkit.

     

  6. To the spammers we've progressed past luring girlfriends in with fake counterfeit fashion accessories, and now need magic slavery spells to keep them.

    Next they'll probably offer spells to ensure male children or black market adoption services.

    Is there not a captcha or anything?

    The KJ steam group hasn't been used for a long time...

    FTFY

    Also, now I can't access my user profile.  I want to change my avatar, but the page won't load.  It just says there's an Error.

    The REAL best days were when we had XenForo, not this crap.

  7. Right now [...] on FTB Forums

    FTB Forums?  Traitor!

    Thanks for the advice! So if the cost seems acceptable for those parts my only concern would be with heating/noise (and power, the supply seems kinda meh), but I guess I'll just put all that on trusting that Acer won't sell a build that only barely works.

    Btw, my current apartments' sockets aren't grounded, should I buy a surge protecting thingamajig?

     

    500 watts should be plenty.  The power supply is probably not that great of quality, and there's not really any headroom for upgrades, but it's a prebuilt, so you probably won't be doing much upgrading anyway.  And a surge protector would definitely be a good idea.
