they heavily weight user watch time, including re-watches. Might only count as one click, but 300% watch time is viewed as engaging.

my favorite are when it uses rechargable AAs, but can recharge them itself.

yea, that sounds like a serious problem. dont have anything like that with my 3000 series card. Would try a clean install, and then RMA if it keeps happening.

no, sadly you need a Meta account, which is separate from your Facebook account. (pour one out for Oculus, such a better brand name).

For a while it was rough, if you got a facebook ban it would block your headset. now at least they are separate, and getting banned on one doesn’t ban the other!

You haven’t needed a facebook account for the headsets for years now. They finally saw that linking the two was a horrible idea.

Oh, god, the biofuel grind was so painful in the begining, at least until you actually get BIOFUEL.

Once im done my Pacific Drive playthrough, ill take another bash at it.

Yea, I’m still early, but the onboarding feels more rough, so I haven’t got as far as with the others.

My DSP Save has like 200 hours (lots of it AFK to grind some avhivments, and factorio is like 300+

Really having trouble getting into satisfactory. Im used to DSP and Factorio, where its a grid system, and easy to scale up.

Basically just my steam lists.

I’m losing track of books, and started tracking them, but games tend to hang around longer, since they take me longer to get through.

the problem is there is supposed to be 3 more seasons/books to wrap up all the hanging thread, including what happened to the gate builders and the Martian rebels.

I still run a lot of my games off of spinning rust. Boot times are a little bit longer, but at least i can store a ton of games.

If you have a $3k GPU, definitely feels that way!

not sure what you mean.

The power supply would just provide an additional voltage, they currently provide 3.3V, 5V and 12V, they could also provide 48v too.

Definitly feels like we need to increase the voltage. Stepdown transformers are extremely efficient, and could be card side.

I really love my Quest 3 headset, and i think the investments into VR is some of the best money that Facebook has spent… for me as a consumer.

I dont think that the metaverse is worth the electrons used to send it though.

Best dollhouse sim is clearly Dwarf Fortress

Honestly, this is close to an ideal use of it, IMO

You still have human devd making the game, but if I had a specific bed spread I wanted in game, this gives me a bit of power

pretty close to what happened with me. RMA’d an MSI AIO twice, then bought a (MASSIVE) Noctua, which has been 100% reliable.

i didnt have a problem with pump noise, however of the two AIOs i had, both had the pump die.

god, i 100% the SR the third… .and i cant remember a single thing about it.

It does for me too, but it’s starting to get older, had to turn down helldivers!

No, things will be worse.

But at least the performance increase will be larger!

I’m getting to the point where i would love to replace my 3070, it getting quite long in the tooth, but cant see doing that for at least another generation or two with these prices!

It did, in the broadest possible interpretation of the term.

In any practical interpretation, it didn’t, and it was so silly

That’s what annoys me.

I do like the idea of getting rid of the double 8 pin connector, but the new one could have had 30%< 50% more area, been way more secure, and STILL more compact than the old one

Fair, but I’d kill for more (good) surviving mars DLC.

I loved Green Planet, and desperately want Surviving Venus it Surviving Pluto expansions

thats a really cool looking game

What did you not like about 3?

I loved one and two, missed 3, but started playing it recently

I genuinely believe that some AI enhancement, a la DLSS, is the future. I’m very wary of frame generation, and that said, i do NOT think it or frame generation should be used in the advertised increase.

No shit? Companies will kowtow to curry favor and increase their profits every single time.

Yea, god they are hellishly racist. Still love them as a product of their time.

I don’t think so, since a lot of the content in that one is from late tintin stories.

This would only be the first Tintin story, and the contents therein, that are free use… Which would be what, land of Soviets, Congo, America?

Yea, but it’s still a fantastic game for those who don’t have it…

And I grabbed mines of moria and dredge last week

i intentionally didnt enter, but wanted to think you for doing this!

i saw Agatha Christie, and thought it was Agatha H and got excited.

i was expecting you to be exadurating, but its mostly just… cards cards cards.

didn’t play 3, what do you mean by ‘marvel-esque’?

yea, and be clear about it. Don’t hide that they are turning a profit, but there’s a lot of people that might find that attractive.

I like working with some contractors, because they will list each item, at cost… and then the last line item is “20% profit”.

Rent to Rent, for a $150/m computer, is just robbery.

yea, as usual its a “we will strive to do better in the future” not-apology.

This should be a either a rent-to-own system, or just a monthly payment system. Be clear “you will pay 150% the purchases price of the equipment over this time period”, and it would be mostly better.

thats amazing news.

I loved Twinsen’s Oddesy, though never beat it. Hope thats next
