    Old games you remember playing, but can't remember the name of

    That's the one! The graphics look exactly like I remember, no nostalgia goggles, even though I have not seen it in 24 years! I do not remember the movement being so janky though.

    Old games you remember playing, but can't remember the name of

    I am looking for two of the first games I remember having ever played. The first is an old spelling game from either DOS or Commodore64 whereby you were given simple worlds on screen to copy and there was a red monster that looked like the Mcdonald creatures running around the screen. Sorry...

    How old is your computer?

    My computer is all over the place. It has some hard-drives from 2011 that are still somehow chugging along as if they are not 10 years old, I always back them up though. Most of the other hard-drives are from 2015-2020. The motherboard, cpu, and AIO (Asus Rampage V USB 3.1/5960x @4.5GHZ...

    Laptop screen keeps flickering.

    Just a quick heads up: I have something similar that happens from time to time with my own laptop if I leave the lid down too long while it is running but I am not sure if you can fix it the way I fix it. My Dell Precision laptop comes with a pre-boot diagnostic window I can access by turning...

    Nvidia RTX 30XX series thread: 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti paper launch on June 3rd

    Jesus. I felt pretty guilty spending a couple hundred dollars over MSRP for my RTX 3090 I bought for 3D rendering, back in December, but between the scarcity and rampant inflation of prices I am feeling pretty spiffy now.

    What have you purchased recently?

    I purchased a shit-tonne of BPC-157 for another cycle after the last one early this year was so successful and a 3m displayport cable to slink through my ergotron swing arm from my cintiq, to my pc.

    Animaniacs coming back

    I have known about this for a while since one of my favourite web-comic artists, who is working full time on the series staff, has dropped the occasional hint about the show. I am personally glad that they did not stray too far away from the source materials aesthetic and animation style. The...

    Why do so many people not have avatars?

    My bad, I was actually talking about the 1280x1280 uncompressed render I did of it in order to be able to scale it down to accommodate different website avatar requirements so that I had to most control to avoid any compression artifacts due to the colour blooming I added in post. I actually...

    Why do so many people not have avatars?

    Sorta, I was trying to emulate this background element from an old 16 bit fighting game level (using a character of mine) that took place on a ghost train that had digitized live action elements that would fade in and out on the side of the locomotive like a human mouth with the tongue swinging...

    Why do so many people not have avatars?

    I am currently making a brand new avatar and it may take a while.

    Nvidia RTX 30XX series thread: 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti paper launch on June 3rd

    The 3090 and 2080ti both have full speed NVLink which allows for resource pooling between two cards for extremely large 3D scenes and CAD files (that support the technology). Perfect for students, hobbyists, freelancers (me), and small studios. Quadros are extraordinarily expensive and offer no...

    Is anyone here going to get an Xbox Series X?

    I am personally interested in getting a PS5 some time after launch (and after I get a new videocard), especially since I like the look of a couple of exclusives, but mainly because I have collected a sizeable backlog of PS4 games from Christmas and various birthdays that I still need to play and...

    Cyberpunk 2077 System Requirements for PC revealed.

    My workstation laptop kills the recommended requirements but the OCed 5960x and Titan XM in my 3D rendering rig would probably smoke it due to 2 extra cores and better thermals despite a marginally weaker GPU.

    Nvidia RTX 30XX series thread: 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti paper launch on June 3rd

    Damn, this has me feeling a little nervous over how the rumored 3080 super with 20GB of VRAM will weather the storm later this year. From what I have read on the Nvidia forums, which are hilariously in open revolt, they did not even have captcha to stop or at least slow the bots down. Honestly...
