demonix00 got a reaction from Psittac in Show off your latest purchases
One Evercade VS-R with Tomb Raider 1,2 and 3 (original, not the remaster) and the Team17 Collection 1 cartridge with 10 classic Amiga games (about a third of which is alien breed)

demonix00 got a reaction from Needfuldoer in $98 for GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070?
Likely all you'd get is a brown box with a massively overpriced 700 or 900 GTX card that has modified firmware to make it report the the OS as an RTX 5070.
Pretty much like that.

Except that video is well over a year old and the issues that were causing it have supposedly been fixed.

demonix00 got a reaction from Lurking in M4 Mac Mini 16gb/256gb
The problem with linux is that not everything that works in windows or macOS will work in linux which is the reason why I now daily drive an M4 mac mini because everything I already have works because the companies provide (mostly) all the same software on macOS.
Also, apple doesn't try to cram updates and crap you don't want down your throat (or try to force reboot your PC to install updates when you have updates disabled)

The final addition for the PS5 to be able to install more PS5 games along with more PS4 to PS5 upgrades which since I recently purchased a £40 PSN gift card (for £36.99 thanks to loaded/CDKeys) I also acquired the following.

Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered for £10 (PS4 to PS5 upgrade)
Fallout 4 Season pass for £10.14
Wild Arms 2 for £7.99
Sheltered for £1.99

Finally, a dualsense controller that doesn't have it's triggers set in treacle and hasn't been used to death.

Further addition to the game collection (and before anyone asks, this is just r-type final 2 updated to UE5 with the first stage DLC pack (which you still have to download from the playstation store to unlock it in game) and 7 version exclusive stages which if you have r-type final 2 and all (or at least the same) DLC then buying this for the UE5 update and the 7 extra stages isn't worth it).

demonix00 got a reaction from OddOod in Corsair k70 keyboard totally unresponsive to desktop after iCue update - works fine on laptop?
If you have a working mouse, you don't need the virtual keyboard since it's just right click on the start menu button, select device manager, right click on the required device and select uninstall, then unplug the problem device and plug it back in and everything works (as long as you remembered to shut down iCue before you started the whole uninstalling drivers thing).
That driver is the reason I stopped using my corsair scimitar MMO mouse and iCue is the reason I stopped using any corsair device considering how frequently is messed around with the windows audio service.
Another way to fix this issue without having to mess around with uninstalling and reinstalling drivers is to not have iCue running at all.

demonix00 got a reaction from Blasty Blosty in Why do gamers rush to buy a game like borderlands4 , just to play 10 minutes and give a negative review
People "playing" a game for 10 minutes only to leave a negative review likely haven't even managed to actually PLAY the game and that has been 10 minutes of it constantly CRASHING at start.
Case in point
Multiple crashes and one BSOD.

demonix00 got a reaction from jagdtigger in The new Hue Bridge Pro can supposedly turn almost all existing Hue bulbs (going back to 2014) into motion sensors
Except you have to replace your existing hue bridge with this new hue bridge pro.
Sounds like they're creating more ewaste rather then reducing it.

demonix00 got a reaction from Needfuldoer in Fortnite isn’t real “PC support” if it ignores Linux #FortniteOnLinuxNOW
It's not going to happen since linux anti-cheat (this INCLUDES EAC) is only allowed to run in user space making it really easy to get around (so much so that the cheats are open source).
Although using TPM and secure boot doesn't appear to be helping certain anti-cheat solutions in windows.

A significant upgrade from a switch lite to a switch OLED where I decided to not get the plain jane white variant.

demonix00 got a reaction from Lurick in blackmail?
That is because the scammer likely has knowledge of pegasus, and purchased a dump list of email addresses off the dark web to try to scam people out of money claiming that they infected their devices and obtained certain questionable information that they'll supposedly sent to the persons contacts if they don't gat the money.
This is just a reheated version of an old scam tactic.

A pair of replacement stylus for my recently purchased DSi XL (because the one it came with wasn't the original) and a pair of cables to be able to charge it (and the 2DS I already have) over USB along with a pack of 24 (12 AA and 12 AAA) batteries for stuff that needs batteries (the AAs are mostly for my xbox controller after the official battery pack I purchased decided that it didn't want to play nice anymore and make the controller turn off with any slight movement).
