    Question Move My Router or Go Mesh?

    Working on trying to improve my bother-in-law's home networking setup. They recently redid some rooms, which resulted in putting the WiFi router in a front corner of the house. Unsurprisingly, this has led to some signal strength issues on the other end. On the one hand, they could probably be...

    AMD Vega builders thread - rx 64 & rx 56

    Finally gave in and ordered a Strix Vega 64 today (Newegg, $600). More than I wanted to pay, but I'll recoup a smidge of the money from selling the Far Cry 5 code, and going through Newegg doesn't charge tax. Once it shows up, I'll start looking at VR, but I also might start considering new...

    Windows 10 Desktop Issues

    See, it's never presented that error for me. Everything comes up OK, no issues or errors. If it were my own PC, I'd just reinstall Windows and call it good, but since it's not (and I don't know the next day I'll get to check into the thing and test solutions), I have to be more...graceful...

    Windows 10 Desktop Issues

    Odd, it's a pretty clean drive. I would be surprised if it (Samsung 850 Pro) would be going bad that quickly. I'll have to look into a restore, but it seems like an odd way for them to resolve the issue, switching to a OneDrive profile that you can't remove or replace. Is there any way to force...

    Windows 10 Desktop Issues

    My brother-in-law's PC is having an issue with the desktop icons. Recently, his desktop files all went away--the links/files themselves, not just the icons. Upon looking into it, I noticed that in the File Explorer, the pinned "Desktop" link is to OneDrive (user\OneDrive\Desktop is the path, I...

    Getting a New Case; Fan Recommendations?

    It's mostly the aesthetic. I've done a bit of VR with my cousin, and there was a bit of tugging (not bad). As for the cable management, it's more an aesthetic management, not a functional one. Having the PSU in the back means fewer cables showing, and the rear drive mounting seems nice as well...

    Getting a New Case; Fan Recommendations?

    Yes, I like the cube style more than the tower for a PC that's going to be on my desk. It's got a wider, more stable base. It's going to be running a VR headset, so I feel better if it's that sturdier case that's less likely to fall over if tugged a bit (as opposed to a tower that's more...

    Getting a New Case; Fan Recommendations?

    The whole 3x80 thing is really just an act of aesthetic OCD. I think it'll look weird to have just 1...maybe if I put it in the center of the frame, it'll look OK! The Lux frame seems really neat, I like that. However, with that, it's pushing 5 fans to about $175, which is more than I'd care to...

    Getting a New Case; Fan Recommendations?

    The one issue I will face there is that the rear and bottom only allow for 120mm fans. That's what had me debating to top exhaust, but I could always start with the rear and adjust (add/swap game) if there are any thermal issues. That leaves me with two things to address: 1. I would likely go...

    Getting a New Case; Fan Recommendations?

    I'm sticking with the stock Wraith on the CPU for now. I'd certainly pick a top exhaust over buying a dual-tower CPU cooler (in terms of price). I'm asking out of curiosity, not arguing, but would 2 80mm and 2 140mm on the front really come out quieter than 4 120mm fans? I imagine the cooling...

    Getting a New Case; Fan Recommendations?

    The back side of the case houses the PSU and drives, so I'll have a PSU, SSD, and HDD back there, plus cable routing. I haven't picked a GPU yet, since Vega is a pricing and availability disaster. I would like a Strix one, but they are taking so long I would settle on a reference Vega, and if...

    AMD RYZEN Builders Thread

    So, looking to put together an R5 1600 build over the next week or two. The big questions I've been curious on are the RAM and board. Are there any boards that haven't reached a good level of stability for higher RAM speeds, or is any option pretty much good? Also, since RAM speed seems to be...

    MLB The Show '17

    I'm doing the central areas first. They seem to be harder than the west, just because of the density of strongholds. I've been hammering away at TEX and MIL and PIT, which let SEA run through the west itself, so it owns basically everything west of me but the LAA stronghold and what Arizona owns...

    Xbox Spring Sale

    The good ol' reminder that Microsoft likes to lag 3-6 months behind physical sales, so I'll just keep buying physical and beating the game before MS puts it at the same price digitally.

    Xbox Scorpio Variable Refresh FreeSync HDMI 2.1!

    Some people use monitors for consoles, and it also gives more of a reason for TV companies to support Freesync going forward.

    New info leaked about the Xbox Scorpio doesn't indicate it is a new generation

    Phil Spencer already confirmed that there will NOT be a new Halo or Gears for this year. Even if either made it to E3 (maybe Halo, but 100% not Gears), it would still be a year off because that's a tentpole franchise you release for the holiday season. Sea of Thieves also looks like a VERY niche...

    Take the space from my name, that's my PSNID. I haven't gotten PS+ yet though, just because with only one online-enabled game worth my time, it's harder to justify the price. I do have a 2-day trial available and a $10 gift code from getting my PS4P though, so I might use that for a month of PS+...

    MLB The Show '17

    I started in on RttS. I did about 3 months, my CF spent the first 2 as a DH, played CF for a couple of games, then got moved to 2B. It's a lot easier than the OF, as it slows down for highlight plays that give you more points, so I'm fine with the position shift. The showcase stuff is really...

    MLB The Show '17

    Started up today, did a bit of playing to get the mode-specific Trophies (Quick Manage, MLB Network broadcast, Player Lock). Little seems to have changed, and something I'm frustrated by is the draft AI. I have always loved doing Franchise drafts in sports games, for whatever reason. I just love...

    MLB The Show '17

    Meanwhile, I maintain I have been underwhelmed in early playing of MLB 16 (traded it in last week to wait on MLB 17). I really hate their pitching schemes. MLB 2K was so damned good on that front that it more than made up for the technical issues (offline, at least; nothing can make up for 2K's...

    Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    Yep, that's why I've waited. GameStop's $175 credit for a Wii U tempted me, but I ultimately decided I would rather now throw $125 in cash at a Switch I wouldn't play. I'd rather wait, then maybe have to get only $100-125 when I know I'll play some games, If that's the route I go. I'm not a...

    Halo is nothing like real combat

    I wouldn't say those are...good counterpoints. The enemies that aren't bullet sponges are generally ones you can put down really quickly with a couple of headshots. Hunters, in the campaign, are a fun encounter with strategy. In Warzone, they're bullet sponges of the highest order. When they're...

    I went and put in a pre-order on the standard version today. I don't want that steelbook. honestly, as a Cubs fan, I'm pretty disappointed Griffey is on the cover. Bryant totally should be, NL RotY to NL MVP and WS champion. Basically the biggest championship in sports, and the game's not...

    Halo is nothing like real combat

    If the AI were more than bullet sponge RNG, I might agree. However, Warzone's just a mess with very little skill involved. I agree that the feel is good, but that's pretty much the end of it for me. Aiming and balance are good. AI is terrible. Maps are worse. Spawning is worse. Campaign is a...

    Why so much FUD/BS regarding Ryzen on these boards?

    It's easy to pick up on the negatives of Ryzen--REALLY easy. Where Ryzen thrives is where the masses are less knowledgeable. In some cases, this includes myself. They don't understand threading or encoding or processes. They understand video games and FPS. They don't know what Cinebench or...

    So now I have a dilemma

    From the sound of it, those devs are one of the ones most rushing to make Ryzen better in their game, so I wouldn't worry on there. What I read pre-Ryzen was that their benchmarks were also a bit wonky at times in general. That the Ashes crew was at the 2/28 event tells me that things on that...

    So now I have a dilemma

    I wouldn't upgrade to Intel but that's honestly a brand problem. I would reconsider the 1800X because the 1700 is more than capable, or maybe go with the 1700X. The "slaughter" in gaming is probably not where you're actually gaming, and it's more in the super-high framerate realities where your...

    Your Take on Ryzen? Worth buying or stick to Intel

    I would absolutely buy it, even though it doesn't suit me. I would be talking about a general purpose machine with some light gaming, basically where Intel still wins. However, I simply cannot give business to Intel when the margins are at all close, simply because of the company they have...

    Q1 2017 - Not a bad start to a year

    I guess it depends on interest. I don't like GTA at all. I enjoyed Vice City for a little bit, but stopped caring long ago. I saw my cousin play GTA V several times, and it was OK to watch for about half an hour, but never looked like something I would enjoy actually playing. The storytelling...

    PS4 Pro Review

    Anyone else got Kingdom Hearts 2.8? I'm about the last person on the planet to notice, or care about, frame drops. I have never been able to really notice 30 vs. 60 FPS. However, playing BBS 0.2, it hiccups quite a lot. It's nothing close to smooth, even outside of combat. It's not a nightmare...

    Golf games for PS4?

    The Golf Club had depth problems, where it was simply "can you use the right stick?" There was no progression, and customization was incredibly limited. It was enjoyable, until you hit the brick wall of progression, which is just getting consistent with accuracy on drives. Just not much to...

    Q1 2017 - Not a bad start to a year

    You missed my second sentence. Also, I don't care about the hype of anything. I won't be touching Red Dead Redemption 2, just as I didn't touch the first. I wouldn't play Mass Effect for free, as I've not liked those games.

    Q1 2017 - Not a bad start to a year

    I'm definitely not. I got KH 2.8, and I'll be adding Horizon in a month, then I'll finish with KH 1.5+2.5 and MLB 17 at the end of March. That's it--not just for the quarter, but for 2017. Not just for PS4, but including PC, XB1, 3DS, and Wii U/Switch. 4 games in 3 months, then nothing for the...

    Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    Funny, Animal Crossing is the only thing that got me to almost want a GameCube years ago, and I really liked it on the original DS. I probably wouldn't have time for it nowadays, though. But really, I only se 2 "system sellers" listed as set in stone, to me: Mario Odyssey and Zelda. Kart is a...

    New info leaked about the Xbox Scorpio doesn't indicate it is a new generation

    I'm confused, did people actually think Scorpio was a new generation? Microsoft announced the thing saying it wasn't that. They've been saying THE WHOLE TIME that games wouldn't be able to be Scorpio-exclusive. Complaining this isn't a new generation is like complaining my PC can run old games...

    So, with that list of games...des that mean they have just no interest in a new Animal Crossing, Metroid, or Mario Golf? All 3 seem to have had MASSIVE gaps on home consoles.

    Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    In the past, there has been no proof GameStop can look back on a trade like that. They just see "you have a pre-order for this much." People have done it for trade bonus pre-orders in the past just fine.

    I totally missed the announcement, saw it the next day. Just got to this thread, missed a couple of pages of posts. So, uhh... --Price is fair, but also bad. $300 isn't outright bad for a launch console, but $300 for that tech is almost laughable. I want to say "OK, fine," and "are you stupid?"...
