Wow! I guess it must have done well enough to warrant a sequel.

Wow those chainsaw animations are totally not something that gets old in 2 minutes.

inclementimmigrant, 11 months ago in What was your first videogame that made you say "Ok, I need to play this game properly: I need to upgrade my specs"?

Full Throttle.

Had a 386 and the game required a 486 so I bought a Cyrix 386 to 486 replacement. Worked decently well.

antony, 11 months ago in Why Upgrading a Gaming PC Right Now is Almost Pointless (safer link repost)

I’m halfway through a 10 year cycle, with a 1060 3Gb on a 7th Gen i5. It’s mostly Civ6, Stellaris, and Rocksmith 2014 @ 1080p so it’s fine. The main problem is end-of-life for Windows 10 without support in the current hardware, and Rocksmith doesn’t work well on Linux. I’ll probably keep it as-is and start from scratch… when I see a title that I want to play enough to drop big cash on hardware.

Clone hero works on Linux, not sure if that's the same type of game since I'm just guessing rock smith is like rock band. https://clonehero.net/

Rocksmith uses a real guitar and purports to teach you how to play… Not really like Rock band.

xpsking, 11 months ago in Acer launches Radeon RX 7600 Predator BiFrost series, its first Radeon GPUs - VideoCardz.com

Honestly I feel with their monitors and laptops the predator branding is pretty well known compared to strix.

Ik nvidia forces them to have different branding for Radeon cards but in this case might work against them

Edit: got acer and asus mixed up ignore this

WildlyCanadian, 11 months ago

Strix = Asus

Predator = Acer

Acer isn’t generally known for making GPUs, they’re entering the market with the predator lineup

Oop I messed that one up ignore my comment haha

uninvitedguest, 11 months ago

But hey, Asus owns Acer so it all feels moot.

FlowVoid, 11 months ago in Battery and surge backup

I bought the Cyberpower 1500 six years ago, and I have no complaints. Just last week it worked perfectly when the power went out.

I use it to keep my NAS and router running, they will last about two hours on battery. But a desktop + monitor might have higher power requirements.

Sharpiemarker, 11 months ago

You brought up a good point.

It would be helpful to know OP’s use case for the UPS. Just need enough time to save your game/work? Want to keep your modem and router running so you can have wifi while the power is out?

Something to keep in mind is, without a massive battery and a very expensive UPS, you won’t be gaming in the dark for very long. Maybe 15 minutes max with most consumer-grade UPS. Even commercial-grade UPS only stay on long enough to gracefully shut down services. For anything more, a generator is best.
