Recommend some anyway. I can’t enjoy most single player games without mods (or at least a trainer).

Same. Mostly because I don’t want the experience to ever end (and because it’s been so long that I forgot where I was and what I was doing if I don’t start over). Apparently it’s an ADHD thing.

I’ll play one game at a time, binge the hell out of it, then stop right before I beat it (if it’s a single player title) and then never touch it again for at least 5 years.

So basically only the worst states in the country have this law. Color me surprised.

No but I use a 3rd party DNS, which might have something to do with it, now that you mention it.

Not arbitrary; I’m sorry but I’m not interested in hearing opinions from neckbeards and/or incels.

The guy is wearing a fucking fedora in the thumbnail; his opinion is irrelevant.

Speaking of which, can anyone please tell me why XHamster now requires a Virgina ID to visit the website, even though I live nowhere near that shithole?

1. Why does it have to be a Virginia ID specifically?
2. How the hell am I going to get a Virginia ID from out of state?
3. Why would anyone give a porn site their ID to begin with? That’s a major invasion of privacy.

Isn’t that the chip that physically degrades?

I haven’t been following that fiasco very closely. Did Intel ever recall and replace the chips? If not, that could be your problem and there’s nothing you can really do about it since the CPU itself is flawed.

Okay? What the fuck does that mean?

Fallout: New Vegas

How? Did you dig an old PC out of storage?

I can’t get New Vegas to run on a modern PC without it constantly crashing, even when with the fan patches and mods that supposedly allow it to work on newer PCs. Please share your secrets.

Imagine actually calling Twitter “X”.

Seriously. Don’t understand why people like those games. Boring lore and repetitive gameplay.

What low-effort app do you recommended? I hate messing around with networking stuff, but I’m willing to build a home server, if that means I can finally get away from Google Photos. It must have HEIC support and a “memories” feature (where it automatically creates albums sends me notifications about what it wants to show me).

2003. Went from 56K to 3Mbps cable. It was mind-blowingly fast at the time.

But then in 2004 my parents had to go back to dialup for awhile to save money, which was brutal. Especially since I would video chat with my GF often and download all sorts of stuff from KaZaA. Have you ever tried to do a video call on dialup? 0.1-0.5 FPS and compressed so badly that it’s hard to make out even basic facial features. It’s a miracle that it worked at all.

The SSD is what’s jacking up the price so much.

I built a similar PC in 2022: Ryzen 7700X, 4090, 32GB of DDR5 6000, 4TB NVME and 6TB HDD; it was $4400 including tax. If you spec the same PC today, it’s under $3K now.

How did this person find the time and dedication to complete so many god damn games in just a year? They beat more games this year than I have in my entire life! I get bored or run out of time before I get anywhere near finishing a game.

Where do you find the time to not only play, but beat so many games? No job and no SO?

I my 36 years here on earth, I’ve completed maybe 3-4 games total. In my entire life. I almost always get bored or don’t have the time to finish the ones I start. I prefer online games anyway because single player bots tend to be stupid and predictable.

My comment still applies
