But nooo X3 too little armor and sustain to last in the jungle o.o unless they get lifesteal first but ADCs always start with IE no ifs ands or butts.
But ADCs are too squishy for jungle, most ADCs are late game bloomers.
Better with something like Skarner in the jungle :P everyone fears the scorpion!
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Miggs on 2016-02-08 16:29:48
Well, there are some ADCs that don't start IE. I think Twitch, Vayne, Kalista, and now Jhin don't start IE.
(I loathe Vayne though...so...)

I usually start up Rapid Fire Cannon on Jhin. Gotta get dat attack speed and crit, yo!

All I've got is my laptop that's getting a little old. I think it's about 3 years old? That may not seem old, but like, what with models coming out real fast, yeah, it's somewhat outdated. That being said though, it's still pretty decent for some games....some.

What does that have to do with it being a month old?

Also, it seems you go through a lot of computers. Maybe it isn't just bad luck anymore?? Maybe there's a site you go to that gives it a bad virus and makes it go crazy? I don't know, from conversations it just seems you go through a lot of them.

unfortunately yes and no my problem now is the ram it keeps hitting 100 percent which is causing problems and i don't know why.

Did you buy a good quality computer or a not great quality one?  That could be the reason. 
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-06-19 17:58:53
A few days?? No wonder the ram fills up. Do you turn off your computer when you're done with it or do you just like, close it? I think if your computers ram fills up after a few days, you may just have to shut it down everytime you're down for the day. Ram fills up like that when you don't shut off the laptop/computer. I had to do that with my old computer and my dads computer.
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Umbreon on 2016-06-19 18:02:35
I do shut it down after every use but maybe it is because the laptop is cheap.
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-06-19 18:12:48
Sometimes it's better to lay down more money upfront for a good one rather than continue to buy a lot of cheap ones. I learned that the hard way with my phone chargers.

This is INSANE.  So this guy is using the Oculus Rift to play the game DIRT on his PC.  Look at how insanely immersive this is, especially in the first 10 seconds when he is moving around in the cars cabin!  Then that snow... like this is borderline real!  I so wanna try this.

Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-09-01 16:22:36
I thought I would share these images with you, just for fun.  I did it once before on PSF 1.0 I think.

Now before you think I am a bad driver, this game is all about physics and realism in driving, so even if I go too fast, I can easily lose control and wreck.. but I've gotten pretty decent at driving, learned to actually slow down in corners and know what my tires can handle in various conditions. 

So I am going at a decent clip on this smaller cliffside road, about 55mph.  I come to this unexpected bump in the road, but it was unnoticeable as I was approaching it, and I quickly got some air, just enough so that when my car landed, I lost my control.  I over corrected as my car quickly pointed towards the cliff an the ocean below, and my car quickly whipped around and slid off the road and wrapped around this tree.  Pretty sure if this was real... I would have died.  At least I didn't go careening off the cliff!!!!!

Anyone want to go for a drive? ;)

Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-10 12:56:10
It should work.
My friends do it. My friend says the 4 works fine without anything. The 3 one needs a sketchy third party thing to work to spoof it into thinking it's an Xbox controller.

Oh my gosh!  I bought Age of Empires II for dirt cheap.  I remembered it as a kid.  Our old school computers used to have the game, and back then, I was horrible at it.  I bought this solely off nostaglia and to see if I could be any good now.  Anyone else remember this game? :)  I'm like such a giddy school girl right now!

Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-01-06 12:34:19
No.  To me it just comes off that Blizzard is trying to make a statement like, "Look at me!  Look what I did!  We're like everyone else trying to be hip."

To me it was needed information. 
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-06 14:01:59
I think you mean unneeded.

And no, I don't think that Blizzard was trying to be "hip" that's just stupid. I think from conception, Tracer was probably gay. But they waited to reveal it. Because, and this is why it wasn't done to be "hip" and call attention to themselves. They waited. They didn't try to market that to make their game more successful or get people's attention when the game first came out. They waited until well after the game became popular, well after they won the award for best game. It wasn't bait. It was part of Tracer's character. Plus, they have stated before hand that two of their characters in their roster are gay. And Tracer happened to be one of them.

While I don't think it makes her more interesting or a better character, I think they revealed it where it fit best. During a Christmas comic where it talks about friends, family, and loved ones. And since the comic was focusing on Tracer, it was the best place and time to reveal it. And they didn't make a big fuss about it, just oh, huh so she has a girlfriend. That's nice, moving on to Winston.

Personally, I don't care. It was pretty obvious, I mean dat hair. What I don't like is people acting like her being gay suddenly makes her the best character ever and blah blah blah. No, it's just a part of her character. It doesn't make her better. What would, is actual development.
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Miggs on 2017-01-06 19:28:54
It's a stupid "controversy" about stupid "forced diversity" or whatever the shit. It's all stupid. She's gay. Whatever.
(If I had to choose between like or hate it I lean a bit more towards "I like it")
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-06 19:41:08
It's not really forced diversity. It's just people who get mad and annoyed at Tumblerinas for shoving it in their face. If it wasn't for them, most people would just go "yeah okay, cool she's gay". But they get annoyed with it being lauded as "o m gee, DIVERSITY! TRACER IS BEST CHARCTER!!!"
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Miggs on 2017-01-06 20:08:00
Well I mean, like, that's what some people are saying it is. They're saying it's forced because Blizzard is trying to appeal to an audience or some stupid crap. I dunno. But that's where I leave my two cents. The whole thing is dumb.
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-06 20:10:33
Well yeah, no. I don't think it was Blizzard trying to pander. While I don't like Tracer, I can say I'm pretty sure it wasn't done to please an audience. It is really dumb honestly. My only gripe for now is that I wonder if Blizzard will even try to give Tracer more personality or leave her as bland toast since people seem happy enough as it is with her being white bread. Whatever *shrug*
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Wolfwood on 2017-01-06 22:38:37
I thought it was forced diversity... like who the fuk cares?  We don't need to know what the personal lives of these characters are.  They just around shooting up stuff, 

Yes, the world they are creating is cool, but I really don't think this info was needed.  We don't know the personal lives of any other characters, do we? 

If I was them, I would just leave it alone.  Un-needed stupid controversy over nothing.  But great publicity stunt, now you got everyone talking about your game again. 
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Soda on 2017-01-06 22:41:28
I never would have thought Tracer was that way.  I just thought it was some weird modern style.

But then again, who really cares? 
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-06 22:43:57
but it's nice to know their personal lives. Look inside see what makes them tick and stuff. Like, idk, when they introduced Sombra they gave us backstory and a look to how she lived before she joined evil organization #1. It makes the characters more than just people who are shooting. Yea the game itself is just a game and non canon and blah blah blah. But I enjoy the lore.

Backstory wise, Tracer's is one of the most interesting. It's just that she's bland as fuk. So I think they give her these "interesting things" about her to compensate in a way? Idk. Nobody should care that she's gay. It's just part of er character. They didn't try and make it a big deal. It's just, that's who she is. Whoop Dee doo. Now stop freaking out about it Tumblr.
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Wolfwood on 2017-01-06 22:47:46
I'm going to have to disagree.  They did make it a big deal.  It was in their big Christmas comic that they had been promoting would come out, and hinting it would be Tracer themed. They knew that the majority of people love Tracer's character and the publicity she gets.  They knew she was a lot off people's waifu (sorry APD).

They filled up almost half a page with a lesbian kiss.

They knew what they were doing, and they were making a big deal to be in the front of the headlines again.  Next day, Gamespot, Kotaku, IGN, all headliners.  They knew.
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-06 22:54:51
Yeah, but what I mean is that the comic wasn't about Tracer being gay. It just was shown she had a girlfriend, they kissed, and then went to visit Winston. Honestly, of course they're gonna promote their comics. I didn't see it promoted more than there other ones, except them saying it's Christmas ahhhh! And yeah, of course they're going to say what character it's going to be focused on. Most of their comics focus on singular characters, only like 1 or 2 focus on multiple characters. So yeah, when promoting the comic they're gonna say it's the Christmas Tracer comic. And yes, for some bizzare reason a lot of people like Tracer. Mostly because they have her in trash ships. Not even good waifu material imo. But whatever.

I just get the feeling they didn't just make her gay for a promotional stunt. I think she was just always gay for them. They just didn't know when, how, or if to share it. Since they have stated before two of their characters are gay.

Just because others made it a big deal, does not mean they made it a big deal. Everyone else shit their pants. They just drew two girls kissing. They didn't tell people "freak out". And honestly, people already talk about the game a shit ton. Their sales are going to increase anyway regardless of the comic because it's Christmas and they had a kickass sale on the game. Got the origin edition for $10.

Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-06 23:00:05
No we do not. They said that incredibly early I think when someone asked about it. Who knows if they'll release it *shrug* I just, hmm, appreciate in a sense that it was something they knew about the characters. Not just "hmm... Well let's make this one gay for the hell of it". Lol watch it be Zarya because HUE who didn't see that one coming, les be real here.

I wonder if they will make Red Dead II for the PC?  It took a handful of years for Rockstar to release GTA V on the PC, and when they did, it was incredible.

 I am sure they will do it again...

But also realize, Rockstar never released RDR I for the PC.  Will they ever port it?
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Miggs on 2018-10-14 19:53:42
I doubt they'd port it, but I have a feeling they'd port RD2 considering PC gaming is (from my understanding) a lot more popular than it was when RDR came out.

Also how long did it take for GTAV to get on PC? Was it really a few years?
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2018-10-14 23:34:23
GTA V came out in 2013 for the PS3 then the Xbox 360. 

It was then released in 2014 for the PS4 and Xbox One with new improved graphics for the HD systems.

Finally in 2015, GTA V was released for PC and Mac.  It was totally optimized with graphics better then the HD systems.




GTA IV, if you are curious, came out in 2008.  Later in that same year, they released the game for computers.

Title: Re: Computer Gaming

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the new game from From Software, creators of the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne (which is what they're now real known for, but they've made a slew of other stuff). I might just be an idiot, but much like other Souls-like games, the story is not directly given. From what I can understand, you are a shinobi called Wolf where you must I guess rescue your Lord/Master? The start of the game, you're about to rescue him when you basically end up getting your arm sliced off.

Turns out you can't die or something. You're dragged away and your arm is replaced with a prosthetic that can be equipped with multiple tools that you can use at your disposal. Main gameplay consists of exploring the areas and fighting enemies. Fighting consist of either widdling their health down till you kill them, or breaking their posture so that you can sneak in a killing counter attack. Although like enemies, you have your own posture that can be broken, so you have to watch out for that.
You'll mostly be deflecting enemy attacks to widdle their posture down, which requires good timing. Areas are real open and vertical, so you can explore freely with your arm that has a grapple hook on it. Sneak around some places to get some easy one hit kills, good stuff.

Also it's hard as fuck (hence my reply of "You die"). I believe they've said while developing the game that they planned on making the game harder than Bloodborne and the Souls Series in general. With the new mechanics implemented, yeah, I'd say they did a pretty damn good job.

Nintendo takes action against that really good Super Mario 64 PC port (https://www.pcgamer.com/nintendo-takes-action-against-that-really-good-mario-64-pc-port/).

No surprise to anyone really.

Someone recently stealth-released a full Mario 64 port for PC that, as Wes explained earlier this week, went way above and beyond fan-made efforts we've seen previously. It runs natively, without the need for an emulator, at high resolution—up to 4K, although the textures tend to fall apart when you crank it up that high—and with full, no-hassle Xbox controller support. "It's surreal to be playing a high resolution, high framerate Mario 64 on PC," he wrote, "but I've just done exactly that."

Unfortunately, it's going to be difficult for anyone else to do it. According to TorrentFreak, Nintendo has begun filing copyright complaints against file-hosting sites carrying the game.

"The copyrighted work is Nintendo’s Super Mario 64 video game, including the audio-visual work, software, and fictional character depictions covered by U.S. Copyright Reg. No. PA[REDACTED]," the notice says. "The reported file contains an unauthorized derivative work based on Nintendo’s copyrighted work."

Gameplay videos on YouTube are also reportedly being targeted for takedown, although there are still plenty of them out there.

Unsurprisingly, the game itself is also still widely available if you're willing to dig a little for it—which is to say, go to Reddit and poke around for a few seconds. For now, that is; Nintendo is notoriously enthusiastic about protecting its properties, though, so I expect it will continue to play whack-a-mole with file sharing sites for a good while yet.

How to Build A PC (https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-build-a-pc)

Unless you want to get a Mac which has everything in it and you don't need to worry about anything.  It all just runs smoothly and perfectly from the get go.  Plug and go within seconds.

PC's are much more work, constant problems, issues, and little things going wrong.

I know my ram is fine cause got 32gb of it probably overkill for light tasks, but light games I'm having a hard time getting reasonable fps here's little detail about the nasty pc I have

Processor: Ryzen 5 2400g
Graphics: Standard built in graphics (this is the cause but psu limits me for graphic card options)
Psu: 350w

So basically hard time trying get a graphic card withing that psu limit cause it's kinda hard to get this pc apart as it's a prebuild so called gaming pc but I only mainly play few light games.
Title: Re: Computer Gaming
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2020-07-07 20:58:58
Well if the PSU is holding you back, you might need to get a new computer meant to be taken apart.  Is the PSU because of a power grid limitation where you live or is it because of the PSU being too low in the computer itself?  I've never heard of a 'gaming computer' having too low of a PSU.  Like if you run it, does it blow a circuit in your room or house?  If it does, you might be stuck unless you upgrade the power supply into that room.

Your Ryzen 5 2400g is also quite limited but okay for light games.  You can buy an older NVIDIA GTX 960 for less tat $200 and see a huge increase in your gaming capabilities.

Sounds pretty limited.  If you want a better experience and more power, I would recommend starting over with a computer from scratch.  A pre-built compute isn't meant to be upgraded or tampered with, minus extra RAM.  Anyone can add RAM, even on a Mac.

Even though this pc is a pre-built it can be taken apart I just got no clue on stripping pc's or even upgrading, and no the pc runs pretty ok doesn't blow anything the psu can be changed I think held in by few screws at the back just no clue when it comes to upgrades I might have to do my own research.

The link posted below by Wolfwood is pretty good actually.  It can teach you the basics for sure.

I can help some.

Also this guide helped me out a little bit understand some basics and some confusing things I had in a recent upgrade. 

How to Build A PC (https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-build-a-pc)

Unless you want to get a Mac which has everything in it and you don't need to worry about anything.  It all just runs smoothly and perfectly from the get go.  Plug and go within seconds.

PC's are much more work, constant problems, issues, and little things going wrong.

Lastly, since this is clearly a PC and not a Mac, you need to make sure the components you buy can fit in the tower.  If not, you may want to consider a bigger tower to fit the components and devices you want inside of it.

The main tool you will need us simply a screwdriver and gloves that don't attract static. Everything else is research in terms of which components you want in your computer.  There are how to videos and articles for everything now days.  It just takes a bit of time to find them.

That article is a good start.  If you got more questions, feel free to ask.  I recently upgraded some things so I am sort of fresh on these ideas.

I really hope they accomplish this without getting it cancelled by Bethesda.


Skyblivion sounds like it will be fantastic.  I wish it had a better name though.

Some new computer news. Apple is leaving Intel and taking full control of their computers, including a new chip.  Now when you spend the big money for an Apple Computer, they will deliver on power that PC cannot emulate.  Apple is introducing a slew of new proprietary hardware for their computers and already, they've been shown to run laps around even the very fastest of PC's.  Gaming and Apple Computers is now going to be more possible than ever and already their new products are getting glowing reviews.

Check some of the new below.

Apple's remaking Mac computers, and it's taking control to do it (https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-remaking-mac-computers-and-its-taking-control-to-do-it-one-more-thing-event-m1/).

If I could toss all my PC crap and light it on fire in a dumpster, I would.  If Apple can make a computer that can DO IT ALL, I am so on board.  This is definitely a good major leap in the right direction. :)  PC sucks.

I'd be down for that too.  PC's are nothing but a problem.

More like a tech demo at this point without a name, but a guy named John Lin is making an incredible looking project.  Amazing water physics, lighting physics, destruction engine, AND, you don't need a powerful computer to play it.  I will keep an eye on the development of this project.

Are we being punked?  Will this be real?  New game by small team being developed called "Unrecord."  It is the first game in a long time that made me think parts of it was real.  Insane graphics.
