    Agreed that CS:GO isnt going to work well, but something like Kerbal Space Program or any demanding game without the need for quick reactions would work fine

    I've played KSP over the in home streaming on steam before and as long as you are careful on your timewarps, so you don't crash into a planet, you should be fine. You do lose some quality if you are playing with lots of mods and 8k textures, but the gameplay is fine. 

     

    Can't speak for any other in home streaming thing though.

  2. number of youtubers I recognise: 4 (+Jake Paul, but I don't recognise him from youtube)

     

    number of youtubers I watch/Have watched: 3 (ASAP Science, Markiplier, Slow-Mo guys)

     

    Dead memes: Shooting stars x2, All star.

     

    TDLR: its a collection of advertiser friendly people who no one has heard about. (And dead memes)

  3. They should have a 'phone' when they really start to need it, which for me was about 5 months ago, but most people it will be when they start secondary education. Reason I said 'phone' is because I would start out by giving them something really low power (I currently own a Nokia brick type thing), then if they would like a smartphone, it should be organised with the parents.

    That was awesome, and we'll said. Thank you.

     

    I agree sbout the toxic environment in a lot of games.

     

    Off the gender thing, does race or religion have any influence in your have choice?

    Race is irrelevant to me when choosing characters, mostly I try to make a character than seems interesting. This can include things like making them racist or homophobic(Only in single player games) or making them into a murderer (Usually in single player games). I don't care about the characters race.

     

    The only religion I've come across in games is in Civ V (When the characters introduce themselves) and Skyrim (Daedra/Aedra worship). I liked what they did with Skyrim (talking to the gods) not because it was diversity, but because it made the game more enjoyable. I also liked it as it made the place more realistic, because the place seemed like it had a history, folklore, and mythology. I'd prefer it if the devs focused on making the game enjoyable, rather than diverse.

    Do you feel marginalized by the lack of non-sexualized female playable characters? Do you feel that games are dominated by males, and this somehow makes it less friendly for females to get into?

    (I know you're replying to a different person but i thought I'd share my thoughts)

     

    None of the games I own have sexualised female characters, though I am aware lots of people do not have the same experiences. Usually there are no differences in the characters, and I think this is because of the type of games I play. Ill list them below in a quote. Also I don't play many PvP games, and when I do I have my mic off anyway. With most PvP games the community is too toxic for voice chat.

    Spoiler
    • KSP (where the main woman is actually better than the main men)
    • Skyirm (where its so cold everyone is wearing furs anyway, main character can be male or female)
    • CIV 5 (people will listen to you the same if your playing as Gandhi or Elisabeth I)
    • Borderlands 2 (Some of the characters are a bit weird, but nothing too offensive)
    • Portal (Woman as the antagonist, and she's actually quite scary sometimes)
    • TF2 (Pyro might be a woman?
    • Life is strange (Main character and secondary character are both women, Also might have a lesbian character (Chloe?)

     I think sexualisation and things like that are only really in certain games, and they are massively over exaggerated when they do happen.

    Hey guys im looking for some feed back on a product that our group is trying to develop. If you guys have some time it would mean of a lot if you can look at our survey so we can get some feed back. Thank you for your time.

    I've done it.

     

    A few suggestions, on the second to last question you might want to make an option for buying 0 cables. (All mine came with products I bought). Also for the final question, it would be helpful if you included metric distances because not everyone can convert between metric and imperial very well in their head.

  7. Don't go for the 1900x over the 1800x, you're paying for more pcie lanes which you (probably) won't use. For streaming and gaming I'd go for the 1800x out of the two however I believe you can buy the 1700 for cheaper and then overclock it fairly easily to 3.9 - 4.1 GHz and get more performance for cheaper than an 1800x.

    Same situation? If possible can you find the exact link where you purchased yours?

    In the end, I didn't buy an adaptor. I used the VGA port on my motherboard to drive the monitor (my 2nd screen). Sorry I can't be more helpful.

     

    (This does mean I have two sets of video drivers installed, dispite what people say, it's working fine so far)

  9. So my dad gets these weekly offers on tech from a site called Ebuyer, which is a fairly large site so I trust them, and today he sent me this: http://www.ebuyer.com/745366-acer-predator-xb271h-27-full-hd-gaming-monitor-um-hx1ee-011 Its currently out of stock but the email he got from them said it costs £269.99 (which is a saving from the usuall price of £120), which for a 1080p G-Sync 144hz panel is really good. I was wondering if it is worth it for that price, even if its out of stock. I have a 1050ti so I can use the G-Sync, and I mainly play CS:GO and KSP, where I get 100fps fairly easily, but I also play Cities skylines and shadow of modor quite often where my fps is around 60-70, so i'm not sure whether this monitor would help me. What do you guys think?

    tehre is always a DVI to VGA adapter included, any gpu i every had in a system had one, gt 440, 9500 gt, gtx 560, gtx 960, gtx 970, gtx 1080 ti all had an DVI to VGA adapter if the card natively didnt have a VGA connector

    My 1050ti didn't come with one, so not all of them have one.

  11. I used to play cities skylines on an old 2nd gen dual core i5 and integrated graphics at 15 - 20 fps 800x600. This was because instead of looking at requirements, I just thought 'hey, that looks like a cool game' and ordered it. This was on a machine which got 30fps low (with optifine) on Minecraft and 20fps on CS:GO. Strange thing is I didn't mind it at the time, only until after going back and playing CS:GO at a LAN party and seeing how shit it looked. 

     

    (On a similar note I have a friend who still plays CS:GO at 20fps.)
