Rats. DE:HR was on sale for something like 90% off on GOG.com last week, and I didn't bite.

I'm a software engineer, so I look at a lot of code. I also occasionally fire up Blender, Inkscape, GIMP, Darktable, and the Kdenlive video editor, so having the extra real estate is very much appreciated. But this monitor is no slouch gaming-wise. It's a 10-bit IPS panel so it has beautiful...

I've got a GTX-1070Ti in my box, because I can't see paying more than USD$500 for a GPU. NVIDIA's flagship GPUs are costing as much as whole PCs did just three years ago. Frankly, I don't see how it's sustainable.

I used to think UWQHD monitors (3440 x 1440) were silly -- what could you do with one of those that you couldn't do with a 4K, or a pair of 16:9 1440p monitors? Then I got one at work, and grew to really like it, so much so that, last week, I finally got one for myself. Last night, I spent a...

That was a damned popular chip for a long time. The principal reason I didn't go for it was DDR4 had just come out, meaning that DDR3 would eventually become scarce and expensive. And since the half-life on my machines has averaged about seven years, I decided to go with an X99-based mobo with...

This is my build, now just turned five years old. This was built just before AMD started killing it with the Ryzen series. Last year, I upgraded the GPU to a GTX-1070Ti. Late last week, however, arrived the newest toy -- an Acer XR342CK Pbmiiqphuzx (yes, that's the actual model number), which...

For the Legacy badge, may I suggest old parchment, or a cuneiform tablet motif? Or perhaps an acoustic modem...

Dear Editor: Themis Media owes you twenty bucks. The auto-renew for my membership fired off yesterday. I've since disabled auto-renew on my end. BTW, you wrote back in August: How is it after nearly eight months no one's managed to hunt down and kill that bot? How many other...

Yes, he did. [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1WoYVvJ35XpuhT3BM6hr1DnshUU6INS-]

So. Bob... Approximately what percentage of your time these days is consumed creating Web content? I only ask because sometimes there were long gaps between movie reviews and episodes of In Bob We Trust, and I've mused to myself, "Well, dude probably has a day job..." Does your current...

Off-Topic: As someone who's visited Destructoid maybe five times in the last ten years, could someone explain to me what all the off-handed snark against Destructoid is about?
