  1. I'm thinking of rebuilding my computer, since the PSU broke and the motherboard is 9 years old. I've mostly settled on these parts so far, and am considering either AMD or Intel CPU/MoBo/coolers. Any advice?

    My view is this. AMD may not be the top dog when it comes to bleeding edge speed, but they blow Intel out of the water when it comes to cost per processing power. And if you can build two whole machines with top end AMD chips for the cost of one Intel chip, then the choice is pretty damn simple.

    Brandname markups annoy me. "We're going to charge you 3x as much Because We Can."

  2. Wow. Usually these "I'm too lazy to search myself, find a server for me." posts are atleast in the relevant modpack discussion/server section.

    But you. You've gone above and beyond the typical lazy by not even bothering to scroll down on the main forum index.

     

    Bravo to you sir. Bra. Vo.

  3. I'm going to upgrade my graphics card.  How does this look? 

    I wanted to get a Sapphire, but it's too long so this is my backup.  It's possible the very tip will fit into the empty drive bays, but I don't want to risk it.

    Oh that is a pretty little thang. My brother has one in his new machine and he's actually annoyed at how detailed the ultra-high settings in GTA V are. Too distracting.

    ​Well they did just announce the R7/R9 300 series at E3. Give it some time and the price may come down a bit.

  4. Oh my memory is pure shit.

    Honestly. I only know about half the names of the people I've been working with daily for nearly 10 years now. My office is only 50 people.

    The only good memory recall I have is for movies (which is a family thing, we quote movies and demand the source from eachother daily) and music.

     

    And that's the key for me. Literally. I tend to have a song in my head at all times, so I just type the password out to the beat and memorize it that way.

  5. ​ That's a fair enough stance, I suppose. I can certainly see where you're coming from. (Gator is an abomination, that goes without saying.)

    For me personally, coupled with 2-factor auth on both my lastpass and main email accounts, the benefits, (convenience, along with enabling me to use 12-20 character passwords made of random garbage on every site), outweigh the risks. I was contemplating maybe even adding a yubikey into the mix.

    What do you use? Keypass?

     

    Memory. I used to be a webmaster for an ISP, so remembering 16+ character passwords of pure gibberish on a dozen different systems was a job requirement.

  6. Guess who gets a new password!

    You do! And you! And you! Everyone gets new passwords!

    ​I don't.

    See that's one benefit of not trusting my password to 3rd parties. Things like this and, even worse, Gator are non-issues for me.

     

    ​i pretty much said the same thing, although....one little VERY VERY TINY thing about the game, 
    when giving the dog commands do i have to press A on the dog then tell him to do X (like what skyrim did, and it was a pain to tell people were to go for anything....) or can we have a special button bound to automatically do this for me when i (for instance) want him to grab a wrench i see...

    literally the only thing i'm not going to like...but its a w/e thing....

    ​Consoles I'd assume you're stuck with their command-mode-button setup. But PC I can see a mod changing it to how you want it.

  7. Just watched the fallout 4 demo event on youtube (bethesda pre-e3 live stream).

    DAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN......

    In world construction, colony building, modular weapons and armor, jetpacks, massive mosquitos to swat... And a release date of november 10th this year.

     

     

    This is literally the first game I actually am considering getting the collectors edition.

    A real pipboy/cellphone holder...

  8. So my wife queued up a cartoon on netflix for our 2 year old. Special Agent Oso.

    Holyshit is this show bankrolled by the NSA or something?

     

    Secret agent stuffed bear who can't do anything without following exact steps as dictated by his electronic device.

    Everything must be done by a deadline. Even planting flowers has an arbitrary deadline with 10 second countdown at the end.

    His reward is immaterial. A digital image of a medal and a little jingle congratulating him for following orders.

    The agency he works for has 27/7 audio/visual surveillance of every person on earth and responds within minutes to any crisis/special event. Both by satellite and by bug shaped spy drones in their homes.

    His boss is an unseen shadowy figure.

     

    "Your every action is being watched and that's a good thing" is a really creepy message to indoctrinate kids with if you ask me...

  9. I would very much like to switch back to XenForo.  It was way easier to use.  I don't think it's happening any more though, since the Admins obviously managed to get Invision working again.

    ​It's working but not properly. Batch jobs like spam cleaning are still clogging things.

    They want to move away from invision, but while there was a migration tool to move from the previous forums to invision, there isn't one to move away from it. Invision was a trap and the rope out hasn't been written yet.
