    sqwidee got a reaction from J.b091 in Naga Hex like mice   
    You seem to be taking his dislike of Razer as an attack against your personal views. Please just relax. Everyone has a preference regarding what they look for in their gaming gear. For some (like me), Razer isn't our go-to company. For others, Razer is God.
     
    Anything wrong with that? I don't think so. If the man doesn't want Razer's Naga Hex, that's how it is. Don't lose sleep over that.

    you better replay the game cuz imagine how much good stuff you missed that the game DIDN'T explicitly tell you about.

    sqwidee got a reaction from RetroSmoo in What sort of portable gaming system will you get?   
    I pick up whatever portable system has the best JRPGs. Right now that's the 3DS. If that ever changes to become the PS Vita or the Steam Machine then I'll get those.
     
    *edit: and DAMN if Axiom Verge on a portable system doesn't get me MAD HYPE!

    Also add portables! Those are technically game consoles, too! Gameboy Advance, DS, 3DS, PSP plus all my home consoles. PS1 feels retro af now.

    sqwidee got a reaction from Giganizer300PRO in 4K on 1080p monitor - Nvidia "Dynamic Super Resolutions"   
    The GPU renders stuff at 4k and it gets scaled to 1080p. The end result is an image at 1080p that looks like it's under an AA filter. You can use it to replace an AA level or two if your card can handle it. It can also make textures look better too.

    for most games DSR is a solid thing to use. It can mess with the sizes of some icons tho, depending on how their scaling is programmed. In Smite DSR makes all the UI elements tiny.

    Exclusives sell systems.
     
    1. why buy a PC if I can play the same things with the same online community on a cheaper Xbone?
    2. why buy the Xbone if I can play the same game on literally any other game system?
     
    It seems hard for us PC gamers to swallow, but yes... consoles typically do get some good games, and more often than not those games are entirely exclusive to that platform.
     
    From a business perspective it's idiotic to push a piece of gaming hardware to the market if all it does is play the same games as your competitor's systems.

    If you don't live in the US you can actually watch US political "debates" and enjoy them for their comedic value. For those of use who do live in the US, it's still funny, up until we realize that we live in the country these people think they should be running. Then it's not so funny

    sqwidee got a reaction from TheRyaner in New Build with free Windows 10?   
    The upgrade takes your Windows 8 product key and will assign it to the Windows 10 upgrade when you run it.
     
    If you set up a Windows 10 USB to use on another computer, it will ask for a new product key to activate.
     
    Basically, you either upgrade to Win10 on that laptop, or you don't use the upgrade at all.
    For a different machine you will need to purchase Windows 10.

    sqwidee reacted to dalekphalm in [DEBUNKED] Windows 10 updates can disable pirated games and unauthorized hardware   
    I find it extremely amusing that you make these assumptions about me. Ones that are wrong.I make a very good wage right now. A wage that I earned through years of hard work, and shitty jobs. I paid my own way through college with no money from parents or friends or relatives. When I graduated, it was the heart of the 2008 recession, where entry level IT jobs had people applying with 20 years experience because the company they worked for went bankrupt over night and no longer exists.
    I had to go through years of part time, min wage jobs, while still having to pay rent, buy food, pay off my student debt, etc. Some months it really did come down to food or rent/bills.
    I earned my right to pay full price for video games. And when I couldn't afford them, did I pirate them? No. I saved up and bought them on a steam sale, or went without.

    sqwidee got a reaction from That13thGuy in Stuck when upgrading to windows 10   
    Ok, this happened to me while I upgraded my desktop. Wait until the HDD access is not blinking or blinking very infrequently. It is likely that the installer didn't pick the right video out.
    When I did this and rebooted my monitor turned on fine, you should be able to go into bios if you want, and if you boot into Windows you should get Windows 10 and it should be fine.
     
    Also if you have an Nvidia card, make sure you get their Windows 10 driver ASAP
