    Question Am I making any errors with this gaming build?

    I already own and use a Vive Pro 2 and a wireless adapter. I rather enjoy VR, whatever your feelings are about the companies that make VR headsets.

    Question Am I making any errors with this gaming build?

    No, I hadn't forgotten. The 4 PCI-e lanes for the first nVME are actually dedicated lanes from the CPU. No overlap with anything else. The i9-11900k has 20 PCI-e lanes, not 16, and the 4 intended for nVME can't be configured as anything but a single 4-lane group. The PCI-e lanes are why you...

    Question Am I making any errors with this gaming build?

    I was going off the disclaimer on HTC"s website. https://www.vive.com/us/accessory/wireless-adapter/ There's a lot of cruft on that page, of course, the disclaimer's at the bottom.

    Question Am I making any errors with this gaming build?

    At present, the Vive wireless adapter doesn't work with AMD AM4/TR4 socket motherboards, so a Ryzen CPU is out of the question. While details are sparse, I'm guessing it's the gig Wifi board that's part of the package. I'll look into the cases you mentioned. I'm a little fuzzy on what...

    Question Am I making any errors with this gaming build?

    I'm thinking about ordering a new gaming PC. I occasionally use the PC for photo processing, and astrophotography post-processing, which is somewhat CPU intensive. I'd like to keep this under $3000. I can afford more, but I feel $3000 is probably well over the "decent return on investment"...

    iPad 4 -> iPad 2017 really is a significant upgrade

    Because this isn't the 1980's, and I no longer take significant improvements in CPU (rather than GPU) performance for granted, and I'm aware that benchmarks are often misleading and don't necessarily reflect real world performance improvements. Or to look at it another way, iOS games don't...

    iPad 4 -> iPad 2017 really is a significant upgrade

    That's a fair point. You'd think they'd put 4G into the 9.7" Pro, since the earlier 12.9" version has 4G. But they don't.

    Is ebay a recommended place to buy unlocked (new) GSM / LTE phones? Want to use on T-Mobile network.

    I purchased a Galaxy Note 5 through eBay last year and I'm quite happy with the phone still. Completely different category, but I don't think generic eBay is that bad as long as you follow the usual eBay precautions (seller longevity, feedback, good photos of the item). Biggest concern about an...

    iPad 4 -> iPad 2017 really is a significant upgrade

    I've been using an iPad 4 for gaming for 4+ years now, and while games always run, I've had issues. Mostly memory related, where games would abruptly stop because they ran out of RAM and the iPad didn't unload enough apps. Re-loading the game was almost always stable, but it was still annoying...

    Lets talk Stellaris

    I put about 12 hours in Stellaris before deciding it bored me silly. As a 4X game, it's extremely rudimentary. I can't speak to multiplayer because ultra-slow 4X games don't strike me as ideal for multiplayer. And believe me, it's slow compared to just about anything else I've played, Civ included.

    If you've got a 5.1 setup, it's probably the center channel. I have these Logitech speakers that have a "matrix" button on them that's supposed to enhance stereo inputs to be kinda-sorta surround, but if it's pressed and the game has 5.1 sound, it kills the center speaker. A hardware or driver...

    Looking into this further, there's no need for anecdotal accounts. The Settlement Software mod will mark spawn points for you. There are between 1 and 4 spawn points for each settlement, depending on the settlement. There's a video that uses the mod to point them out. He's done some amusing...

    I don't think most of us have been anything like so systematic. My impression is that there's generally 2-3 spawn points, but I've never taken notes.

    There's no official change to Preston's behavior. Your choices are: * Get a mod that alters it. There are a few of those. * Put Preston someplace you don't often visit, like the Castle. * Ignore the open quests. If you've got 3 open Minutemen quests, he won't give you any more. Some appear to...

    A lot of those hole-ridden roofs in Sanctuary count as "Sheltered," since the initial settlement tutorial quest requires 5 sheltered beds, and you can fulfill that just by putting beds in the partially ruined houses. Even so, I always build a wooden dormitory on one of the clearable foundations...

    So, I'm playing through Nuka World, and I talked Oswald into leaving without fighting and MacReady "disliked that." WTF, MacReady? What's wrong with you? I'd understand if it were Gage or Cait, but since when were you that much of a Raider at heart?

    Paladins

    It's really much too short a time frame for a real blatant rip-off. Game development takes time; you can't properly clone a game released 4 months ago. A quick search turned up some commentary by the Paladins developer, and there's one quote that rings true: "Overwatch was announced. We were...

    I ran through the Vault Tec Workshop quests. The presence of which rather surprised me - unlike the Wasteland Workshop and the Contraptions Workshop, the Vault Tec DLC has more to it than just a bunch of new settlement parts. Vault 88's cavern is actually a rather interesting place. It's huge...

    I just fired up Fallout 4 after a couple of months away, and the first thing I did was build a Vault Tec Management Console. I was quite disappointed to see that it has fewer features than the Settlement Management Software mod. It's much more polished, but there's a host of information that the...

    The "you die" nature of the ending in Fallout 3 put a lot of people off. I don't think it was bad per se, but I guess the fact that you sacrifice yourself for the greater good of the Capital Wasteland felt like losing to many players. Of course then Broken Steel undid that, revealing that you...

    Before they let us mess with settler happiness they ought to fix settler happiness. It's very difficult to see in game why a settlement is happy or unhappy, and it's clear from using mods like Settlement Manager Software that some things are buggy but not visibly so. The mod will give you...

    That the next DLC was vault settlement stuff has been known for a while. They announced that you could also "run social experiments like a good vault Supervisor." Which, given the track record of the new activities on the last two workshops, I expect to be extremely lame. There have been some...

    All the the manufacturing presses do that automatically. If you dump a hammer into a machine that's building something that needs steel, it'll break the hammer down into steel and wood and leave the wood still in the machine. The Recycler from Manufacturing Extended does that in a generic way...

    The manufacturing / conveyor belts part of the Contraptions DLC is really badly designed. The Manufacturing Extended mod addresses some, but not all, of the shortcomings. Notably, it has a machine to break down items directly into parts, a conveyor-merge piece, machines which take things out of...

    Steam Summer Sale 2016

    I guess a lot of small, "practically nothing" purchases do add up. That's the key to those Free To Play games with the $1 fees work. You may have gotten something, though. At the very least, those FX2 pinball tables should provide some hours of entertainment. Also, wasn't that Oddworld game a...

    Defense Grid 1 has more interesting "shape the path" maps than 2. 2's most interesting maps are the ones where new paths open mid-game, either automatically or because you paid to change the map, but 2 doesn't have anything on par with 1's final map.

    Since the goal is to have 3 factions friendly at the end, you're not really achieving the goal with this path. You've only got 2 of the 4, which is the normal result.

    Wait, wouldn't that last bit make the Railroad hostile? I'm assuming you suggest doing it because she gives you a quest hostile to the Brotherhood.

    I think they don't want you crawling up on the rooftops from Hangman's Alley. Though why I don't know, there's nothing all that interesting up there, and while rooftops are great for sniping at nearby locations, Hangman's Alley isn't next to anything important. There are no excuses for...

    Right, so your solution is to deny that there's a problem. Good job. EDIT: I must admit, I wasn't expect a seat belt safety denialist on top of that. That's quite the icing on the cake.

    The thing is, they are necessary. There's an actual problem, even if you haven't been a victim personally. You're the guy complaining about seat belt laws because you've never been in an accident, so buckling your seatbelt is an unnecessary hoop. You still haven't explained how you'd solve...

    Again, what is your solution? Assume for the moment that account theft is a real problem, and that the old email-centered security wasn't stopping account theft. How do you stop it? "I don't need their app on my phone" is something you're rock certain of until someone steals your account...

    Validating via the Android Steam does remove the wait. I set it up today, and was able to sell a Summer Card immediately. The Summer Sale cards was what pushed me over the edge to install it. Because they'd be of zero value by the time the wait expired.

    I agree it's annoying, but if you have an iOS or Android smartphone, as practical matter it turns out that the actual energy you have to expend is pretty small. The real energy barrier is installing Steam on your phone in the first place. Which I freely admit I resisted for a long time for no...
