holymage! Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I think the shifter might actually be slightly broken, it really shouldn't have shifted even if something fell on it. I'll have to have that looked at. So far, I think I have spent approximately way too much money on steam, thank goodness it's almost over. i haven't spent like any money on steam. in part because of finances and wanting to get a tv for my PC, ive got other things i can spend it on, a new warframe prime acess is coming soon...and i don'y really want any new games....got enough already i haven't touched. EDIT: bought dungon defender, might buy gray goo because i have a lack of RTS games anyone here watch NCIS? season 12 just ended (yes i know it was actually a month ago, but time is relative) and it was an emotional feels trip for me. a reminder to everyone, it is father's day tomorrow just so you all know (providing you live in the US/Canada) Edited June 21, 2015 by holymage!

Neowulf Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Manual or automatic? Because an automatic should be able to shift quite easily into neutral from drive. It's a safety requirement, so no matter what you can cut power to the wheels. Pretty sure a manual will to, though it's worse for the transmission.

TheBytemaster Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Alright, nerds. I have three copies of Uplink to give away to those who somehow don't have this glorious game already. (It's essentially Old Cheesy Hacking Movies: The Game. It allows you an impressive amount of freedom in the game though, I once had someone arrested for 3rd degree jaywalking.) Either post here, PM me, or message me on steam if you'd like one. Edited June 23, 2015 by TheBytemaster Mooseman9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkon Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 As someone who owns Uplink (not the steam version, I bought it before it was on steam) I can confirm that it is a very fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBytemaster Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Absolutely. Sent. EDIT: I made a goof, apparently I only had 2 copies. Meaning now I have one. I can counting.

Looking through my receipts, it turns out I did buy three, I just forgot that I gave one of the three to Mooseman because it was on his wishlist. So no hacking shenanigans, just forgetfulness.

holymage! Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Does anyone else get windows telling you it's low on memory when playing Grey Goo? it could be because I'm only on my APU until I can claim warrenty on my GPU...but still I've got 8gbs of ram...shouldn't be getting a memory issue error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBytemaster Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I like my explanation better. I once had a guy hack a hacking game so that we could discuss hacking a different hacking game without being listened in on by the admins. (Uplink has a working IRC client you can buy in-game. He hacked uplink to give himself enough credits to get it without having to play through the game.) MOD QUESTION: The creators of Uplink, (Introversion Studios), are giving away the soundtrack to the game, but it's in really old weird formats. I took the liberty of converting them to .mp3s, filling in most of the metadata, and making/embedding some album art. Would it be okay for me to link it here?

Lethosos Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ooo, Uplink looks like those Mu Complex flash games, of which I had some interesting times playing. If you're interested, I would very much enjoy a copy myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwwojcik Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 It seems like the Fury X didn't quite pan out how AMD was hoping. They released benchmarks showing it soundly beating the GTX 980ti, but when reviewers made their own generally the two cards only tied at 4K and the Fury X lost at lower resolutions. Of course that's reasonable, Nvidia's 900-series drivers are mature while AMD's Fury-series are brand new, but that doesn't explain AMD's pre-release benchmarks. They had to have known the hype would crash. And, at least at this time, both cards are $650 and the 980ti offers slightly more performance, so it's clear which is the better buy.

Looking around, it sort of bounces back and forth depending on the game being played and who's reviewing it. Even when it does win though, the Fury never wins by all that much. I have to agree, it's a little underwhelming. I do have to wonder what a new set of drivers and DX12 will do for it, but it probably won't be enough to make a substantial difference. Regardless, I'm sincerely hoping that AMD can become the overall better option though, and quickly. (Relatively speaking.) If they end up exiting the GPU market, Nvidia will have no real competition unless Intel goes off the rails and decides to make discrete chips. I know I probably don't have to tell you this, but monopolies are really bad.

If they end up exiting the GPU market, Nvidia will have no real competition unless Intel goes off the rails and decides to make discrete chips. I know I probably don't have to tell you this, but monopolies are really bad. As you know Intel has been doing a lot of work on Integrated GPUs, as I understand it they could simply scale their chips up. So it wouldn't be totally unreasonable to expect them to step into the discreet market. Also, apparently a lot of reviewers were using an old driver. The new one helps the Fury a fair bit. It's pretty consistently giving the 980ti a run for its money at 4K, if AMD can get the CPU overhead of their driver down they could win at lower resolutions as well. Additionally there is the general expectation that the Fury will simply be a air-cooled Fury X (Same performance, just with less overclock headroom) so considering its $550 price tag, would certainly be a 980ti killer- slightly less performance for a lot less money. If that is indeed the case though AMD really botched the launch, the air-cooled version for $100 less should have come out first. Or at least had the water-cooled version voltage-unlocked for the reviewers so they could see if the overclocking is worth the $100 water cooler. I do expect drivers to make a substantial difference. AMD has a history of fine tuning its cards via the drivers after launch. Many of their cards move up a level compared to Nvidia over their support lifespan. So overall a poor launch, (This generation's version of the 290X flamethrower stock cooler incident.) but the card has potential. I'm cautiously optomistic.

Melfice Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 With video card talk going on. As soon as I've checked if it'll fit, I'm getting a GTX 970 4GD5T OC. That should be fun. My first PC upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I'd rate the 970 3.5/4. :V Edited June 25, 2015 by dwwojcik Mooseman9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melfice Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) That seems good enough to me!Currently have a GT 430, so that's going to be a considerable upgrade regardless. And at the current price, it's within my budget. Of course I'd have preferred a completely new system with all the horns and flashing lights, but...It was either this, or a PS4. And a new card seems to be the better investment, considering I'm slowly losing interest in consoles, it seems.

dwwojcik Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) It was kind of slimy how Nvidia conveniently forgot to mention that two of the RAM chips had to share a controller, resulting in awful performance if you needed that last 0.5 GB... apparently it was buried in the spec sheets but nobody noticed it. It's still a good card regardless, the issue rarely comes up. Most people never even notice. And yeah, really consoles are irrelevant, and have been for the past few years. The only compelling reason to purchase one is for the exclusives, a PC can do everything else a console can, but better and usually cheaper.

holymage! Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 you can also use emulators as well to play these exclusives... (saying emulator isn't against the rules right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
