I’ve had my on this since before I had a capable PC. Now it’s $10. rubs chin
Roman Reigns: That’s nice. Nobody plays it.
If I had a nickel for every time a Steam sale gets me to buy a game I’ll never have time to play by knocking the price down to $5, I’d have only spent $4.95 on absolutely nothing.
Loving this new ASUS gaming Desktop monitor:
…finally, able to use Ultra-wide feature and features that work in tandem with GPU!!

Get the Cemu emulator and boot up Breath of the Wild in ultrawide. It’s probably still the most impressive thing I’ve seen.

I already have the Cemu emulator and BoTW, plus the 2 fan made story campaigns with Linkle and Zelda!!
I need to update it to the latest version 1.22, but I will try it out.
How do you put Cemu in ultrawide mode, though? 
Also, something that I was going to do next year when I finally return to the workforce once Texas gets a handle on CoVid-19.
I want to upgrade my CPU, but I want to know 1) if its compatible with my current motherboard and 2) how to transfer data to the new CPU.
I’m pretty sure it’s an option in the default graphics back. If not just download an the graphics back from BSOD Gaming on youtube.

If you’re on Intel it’s almost a given that you’ll need to buy a new motherboard.

To transfer your data you could just buy a new C drive and plug your old one as a backup drive. All of your data will still be there. You could also “Clone” your drive if you want to pop it in your upgrading machine without reinstalling windows but I don’t know how that’s done.

Going with AMD, so yeah I’m going to need a new motherboard.
You can buy something like this to clone your drives.

Watching Stock drops on discord and having the https://www.twitch.tv/falcodrin playing in the background. Was a Newegg combo drop and got lucky with folks just waiting on 3080s to drop so scored this puppy. I returned the mobo and kept the card so no bang against that.
If you proceed to follow the twitch channel a few things. Have all your info ready and payment squared away with who ever you decide to go thru. Unless your super lucky skip getting a card from Zotac or Asus since their site is trash and always crashes. Newegg tends to do their stocks around 630-645 EST or at 9 EST. The twitch channel will let out a alarm when something drops and leaves links to follow. Any questions the chat will let you know and suggested ways. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I’m not fond of cases with clear sides…I usually keep it on the floor.
I got the tools though. Been a few years since I built a PC.
