Re: Forum Population
The forum isn't dead because of something it necessarily did wrong. It's dead because, well, it's a forum. By design, they move relatively slowly and require fair amounts of upkeep. Their content is similarly slow, updating on an hourly or daily basis. Compare that to modern social media like Reddit...

Re: Rant/Vent/sad thread
Technically we're on high ground that wouldn't be effected by flooding so evacuation wasn't mandatory. We've lived through plenty of hurricanes down here, and high ground is a luxury afforded to a lucky few. Assuming the floodwater isn't a concern, the second biggest would be trees and debris windi...

Re: "The **** Are You Doing?!" A Thought About Let's-Plays
While I don't watch a huge variety of LP, I have found what kind that *I* tend to enjoy. With everyone and their dog having a YT channel these days, and with how popular LP videos have become, there's no shortage of skill levels, games, genres, commentary, and anything else you care to judge them by...

Re: What do you collect?
If my tenure in acadamia counts, then apparently I collect massive amounts of debt .

Re: Your car(s) IRL
The only reason I would disagree with you guys is if you aren't in a position to buy a new car. I can afford to spend a couple hundred every few months to keep it on the road and still save for a house, but if I bought a new car right now the monthly payments would make my monthly savings much less...

Re: Your car(s) IRL
There are a lot of guys around here that run Rav-4s as offroad vehicles, because Toyota. If someone wanted an off-road Toyota, then the Tacoma or 4Runner would be the way to go. But I live in an area with no hills, no elevation, no snow, and limited off-road areas. Unless you have a truck to tow a ...

Re: Your car(s) IRL
http://i.imgur.com/tlImiGG.jpg My girl is a 2011 Toyota Rav4. I have a part-time gig doing Uber driving (outside my real job), so I need a car that has a fair amount of creature comforts. It's certainly no Lexus, but it fits the bill fairly well. I take a small amount of pride in keeping my car wel...

Re: Used PSU, should I buy?
A good PS will last you longer than most every other component in your build. As long as it's a high-tier , then I would say it's fine to buy used. You should expect a lower life expectancy than a new unit (obviously), but the RM series is one of the better ones out there, so reliability shouldn't b...

Re: Overwatch
Jfc, a ONE THIRD damage nerf on a character that Blizzard even admits is perfectly balanced. If he's receiving a substantial nerf, doesn't that imply he is not balanced? The difference between a KB+M and controller may actually be enough to justify it. But don't take my word for it, let's look at s...

Re: Overwatch
One of the better Zenyatta ideas I've heard involves reworking the way his orbs work. He's all about the "balance" ideas - it's all over his catchphrases. What if, when he was actively using both his Orb of Harmony and Orb of Discord, he entered a so-called Balanced State. In this state, h...

Re: Star Citizen
My friends, I sense a disturbance in the force. I feel like I can simplify this whole video: When you pledged to the development of this game, you had to click that box that stated you understand all money is going to development; you are not buying a ship, you are giving a pledge (which is a separ...

Re: Star Citizen
So 2.4 just dropped, bringing a number of updates, fixes, and new content. Specifically, they have introduced the concept of persistence within the Star Citizen universe. To accompany this, there is a new form of alpha-UEC used to purchase upgrades, clothes, and other items. One of the biggest featu...

Re: Overwatch
Sometimes, I like to think that I've gotten better at playing Overwatch. Which is surprising, as I'm actually pretty terrible at games. And then I go and see something like this , and realize just how wide that gap really is. And I don't really like the idea of ranking heroes in tiers. While some ma...

Re: Overwatch
I'm having a lot of fun playing Overwatch, but it has some embarrassing flaws that Blizzard needs to address. Neither SLI nor 21:9 resolution currently work in the live version. SLI due to driver issues, and 21:9 due to some knuckle-dragging big-wig thinking it would harm the aesthetic. This is a fu...

Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
So my Oculus Rift finally came in, and I've been spending some time fooling around with it in various games. Most notably, Elite Dangerous. My initial impressions, using M+KB and a standard monitor, were pretty ho-hum. Nothing I hadn't seen before, though it was aesthetically pleasing. But hooking u...
