lol akuma-hax reminded me that I bought that game yesterday o.0

Man that fucking summer sale sucked ass. Any game I wanted I already had and I still felt the price was too high on the few I wanted.

Shit I only bought 1 game - Tomb Raider. I pirated it when it first came out but figured I could drop 3 or 4 bucks on it at least.

I have an issue.

Everytime my brother plays skyrim, or my sister plays Sims 4

the screen goes black and white and freezes. I’m not sure what it is, the drivers are up to date, and I’m not maxing out the clock settings for memory and GPU, but I do have the voltage limits at 20% on my AMD 7970.

Insight? Is my card failing, or do i need to uninstal the drivers and reinstal

turns out that it might be a video memory issue due to bad solder.

FUCK

Fuck life, man. I didn’t have time to look up SRK during the finals.

However, I did run across some Early Access games that look really cool.
TOO BAD THEY ARE EARLY ACCESS!

CrossCode

Game looks like it could be fun as fuck. Hope it doesn’t get abandoned during production.

OreLight

Kinda cool, but I’m hearing some shady things about this one.
I’ll have to do some research on this game even after it exits Early Access.

Here is a nice sale if you are into indie games. http://store.steampowered.com/app/263980/

Still under warranty? If not, that could be a (somewhat) simple fix. If you’re comfortable bussin’ out a soldering iron, you could possibly heat it enough to to get the connection back in line. Just be sure you don’t cross the contacts.

Is this a known issue with your card or just a defect? If it’s known, then I’m 90% certain some dude’s got a guide online for it.

I got that bundle. I’m at what looks to be the end of Out There Somewhere about 2 hours in, but it was a fun, light yet sometimes tricky romp. Nothing too hard or frustrating. Not sure if beating the game unlocks more levels or anything, but I barely paid anything for it so I’m ok with that.

Haven’t tried the rest but they look like fun concepts.

Only for certain manufactures. From what I read Asus had it the most.

I’ll read up and see if they gave it a shot. Idk of its under warranty have to look up the card warranty since I have an Australian booklet.

But it’s an overclock memory issue, and might be a bad capacitor soder joint. At over 700 mhz the computer screen goes black and gre, before that clean .

Oh caps are pretty big still so you should be able to re-solder the point. You’re pretty savvy on tech shit, so you can probably handle it it, provided you do your homework. And it’s actually possible. Boardwork is shifty bidness.

Good luck.

i dont disagree with what you are saying, but you really didnt address that immersion does not require visual fidelity, hence why books are still the most immersive and visceral of any medium when you are talking about conveying an experience through a story. a lot of what you are talking about is practicality and training especially when it relates to the professions you listed.

so recently ive been having this weird thing, where my computer just turns off randomly but after restarting it it wont turn off again for the entire day. at first i thought maybe my system is overheating, but i check my temperature every time it randomly turns itself off and everything is pretty cold. the only thing i figure is maybe the power supply box? but if so why would it only act up once and then be fine for the rest of the day…weird. anyone have any ideas?

Not one of you mother fucker’s has been mounted yet. Have you no honour? No BALLS?
Get mounted mother fucker’s. @Jride where you at???

if you give me the game I’ll mount you.

Oh lol, I forget about that post.
It’s kinda funny how in the second paragraph, Ki Shima proved my point. So he’s disagreeing with me, but also fully agrees? Comes off confusing. I dunno, there’s a reason why I kept paraphrasing key terms in my post when speaking about VR, and even putting them in bold to prevent this kind of confusion.

add me on steam

Really?
Going to my wishlist…

That’s why I usually buy the lesser known indies on sales like that, I have been pleasantly surprised by quite a few games, but if they suck I’m never out too much coin.

when we go to another country we want to not just see, not just imagine but FEEL the environment, the architecture, the people. what is this feel? with reading a book I can combine past memories and imagine what it feels like but actually being somewhere you obtain enough information to write your own book. do you understand?

reading a book is someone elses linear experience of things that they happen to be interested in or things that they actually remember, VR gives you the ability to create your own experiences, having access to many experiences allows you to be the book writer, the interesting one; and with the experiences you have they will be way more in depth than what a book can give you- comparing a book to VR is almost as bad as comparing a book to real life.

The previous Raiden port released on Steam was supposedly (and wholly unsurprising as well, lolJapan) pretty fucking poor.

I love that series but I’m not supporting shitty Japanese Steam ports. And when they do a reasonably good job, with a game like Valkyria Chronicles for example, I’m more than willing to pay for it. It wasn’t perfect, of course. The cutscenes were still at a lower res, which I get. They didn’t bother to make sure the intercepting fire damage wasn’t tied directly to the 30fps original framerate, which was probably a lot more annoying. But it basically WORKED without major issues, supported multiple resolutions and more importantly multiple ratios, and looked great on all of them. Only thing I would have liked to see changed is to change how intercepting fire damage worked so you could unlock the frame rate, but it was still worth my money at launch.

When Japan gets it right, I’ll buy from them. But most times, they don’t. They fail horribly at making quality or even basically functional Steam ports. Looking DIRECTLY at you, Tecmo-Koei.

This is why that bitch on the ramparts was so fucking hard right?
