So today I was faced with an ultimatum: My best friend who I can trust my life on (well I my dad more - he's a doctor) or an old friend I was best friends in primary school. My old friend and I were best friends but we lost contact after I left to high school (he's a year younger than me so one grade lower), and we now go to different high schools. My best friend is his step-brother (I didn't know that till my best friend 'reunited' us) and they hate each other. The first and only time us three skyped together after the call my best friend told me to remove him, with my best friend saying he stole all his friends and he doesn't want to lose me to him. They both say they're dickheads to each other. I made the wrong decision and started talking to teach other without my best friend knowing. After a few days (a bit ago), the honest person in me made me tell my best friend we started talking. He was really pissed. He gave me an ultimatum between him and my old friend. It was a hard decision at first but after a think I knew in my heart the answer. I picked to keep with my best friend in the end. It's really sad I had to cut ties with my old mate but it's for the better I guess...

hey guys, so i am a 14 year old male and in my circle of friends that i know in person and over social networks, about 2/3 are girls. this is mainly because in the town i live (50k people) theres waaay more female people then male (e.g. my class 21 girls, 3 boys with me). yesterday someone told me that they find it unmanly and fuckboyish that i am in contact with so many female people (i have about 80 female friends, 6 really good ones and on a daily basis i write/talk to atleast 10 of them) here in austria too, if you talk to alot of girls people tend to start talking shit so i was wondering what your guys opinion is on this. so, what do you think?

I'm upgrading my friends CPU Cooler, not because it is hot ( Idles 23 c ) but because the fan sounds louder than the security at CES when linus is spotted. He has a AMD FX 4170, stock cooler, stock speed. I'm debating between, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Hyper-RR-212E-16PK-R1-Heatpipe/dp/B0068OI7T8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486253790&sr=8-1&keywords=hyper%2B212&th=1 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NH-L9x65-computer-components-Processor/dp/B00UHYDVK0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486255357&sr=8-2&keywords=noctua+low+profile Which would you recommended? Will take suggestions as well. overclocking will happen after this.

In the past I've used Hamachi to be able to run my own private Minecraft server for friends but decided to try my hand at port forwarding again (I had tried with previous versions with no luck, so went back to Hamachi) and this time I was determined to make it work. I followed a couple of up to date videos and instruction from portforward.com as well as the instructions given by my internet provider on my router's management pages. Everything was going well until I got a friend to test their connection for me. The static IP address that I made, starting 192 was working just fine for me, however it wasn't working for my friend. Even if I added Minecraft's usual port 25565 to the end of the IP address, it still worked for me but not them. My provider made the port forwarding seem very simple, even though I had to add Minecraft via advance options, simply using its name and port ranges, which I just left at 25565 for all the inputs. The video I watched that explained how to port forward and the importance of a static IP and the handy portforward.com said the external IP is what I send to friends, although in his video, his info was covered for obvious reasons and I only learned while doing this process that the IP address (192) was different to the external IP! So I changed the server address in the multiplayer window to the 51 IP instead of the 192 IP and it just wouldn't connect even for me, said it had an abstract channel, whatever that means? I even left my server address as the 192 IP and gave my friend the 51 IP, thinking that it could be as simple as that, but still nothing. White list is on false, so there should be no issue from there, I didn't run the server properties with any additional info apart from typing in the port, which is default anyway.. so I'm truly stumped. Any suggestions please?

So Below is a link to a PC that my friend wanted me to design and build for him from scratch. His Budget is £1000 (would be higher in Dollars) but is willing to push it to £1200. I'm posting this as I want to be sure that these parts are ideal for the price that the build is gonna be and if any could be replaced with something better that can still fit within the price range. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/The157Gamer/saved/WRtrHx PCPartPicker part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7TvyZ8 Price breakdown by merchant: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7TvyZ8/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel - Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£155.94 @ Aria PC) CPU Cooler: ARCTIC - Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 45.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler (£17.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Motherboard: MSI - Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£143.97 @ Amazon UK) Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (£140.49 @ Alza) Storage: SanDisk - SSD PLUS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£54.50 @ Eclipse Computers) Storage: Western Digital - RE4 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£136.99 @ Amazon UK) Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card (£283.14 @ Aria PC) Case: Corsair - SPEC-01 RED ATX Mid Tower Case (£48.13 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£80.98 @ Box Limited) Total: £1062.13 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-10-04 13:35 BST+0100

Hello everyone! This thread will mainly revolve around everyone posting what favorite game genres or specific games that they play and a short description as to why you love that game/genre so much. As for me, I mainly like to play First person shooters to some extent. I feel like Bioshock Infinite had a big role in getting me there as I feel that the story and mechanics were greatly executed. I also really enjoy the Call of Duty Zombie experience, Payday 2 is a really fun game in my opinion. Other than that I do love the occasional racing game like Need For Speed or the upcoming Forza Horizon 3. Rules: Feel free to leave you User ID of you find someone with the same interests as you! Please be respectful and don't go bashing at someone for liking a certain genre you absolutely hate. Don't post any hate comments Be respectful Most importantly: have fun! Happy typing!!

Hi, so i'm looking for people that like cs go competitive and like to talk and have fun. Mainly for the purpose of fun but also to record funny gameplay/videos. It might be a weird way to 'meet' like this but we can play together :). Thanks.

Anybody play mechwarrior online? Just started last week and love it. Usually playing in a KitFox or Hunchback. Add me, name is "NorthernNightmares"

So, Dave Hakkens (the dude who created the original Phonebloks campaign in September 2013) wrote a letter this week. "When the F**K is Phonebloks Ready??" https://davehakkens.nl/news/modular-phone-2016/ I'll remind you all a bit as to what Phonebloks proposed: A completely modular smartphone, developed not by one company but as an open marketplace. It would expand and individualise the hardware of the smartphone to the needs of the user, and reduce e-waste by making it possible to only replace the obselete/broken parts, not the whole phone. Hakkens points out that communication in that campaign wasn't perfect. He was proposing an idea TO the tech companies, with the hope that they may take that onboard. It wasn't a Kickstarter to fund a final project (even if all 270 MILLION people who signed on to the first campaign had "funded" it, it would not have been enough). It wasn't a promise to a product coming in 6 months. It was a loose concept, that it would have been really great for someone to take on board. And they did. Google, as the biggest boy in the house, made it a high priority project of Google X Labs to get this thing, then called Project Ara. Hakkens was taken under Google's wing as a Consumer Relations Manager. It was a complete realisation of Hakken's idea, that Google wasn't interested in the hardware so much as the marketplace, and they already had the largest names like Kodak and sennheiser developing modules, from their developer conferences. It would cost $50, and would be aesthetically customisable too, with swappable backplates for every module (supporting 3d printing) and by late 2014 it looked like they had an working prototype ready for their planned market launch in 2015. Well, 2015 came and gone. Originally planned to be launched in Q1, it was then delayed to Q4. It was then delayed again. Turns out, this thing is complicated (read my other posts for how that technology came about) and perhaps they were over ambitious thinking they could develop the whole thing in 14 months. News from the Ara Team: They're not promising any more dates, but the whole team is still working at full steam to make it a reality (here's hoping for late 2016). Meanwhile Other kickstarters have launched their own takes on the idea. We've had the Puzzlefone, Which comes in 3 or 4 modules, so nowhere near as customisable as Ara would be. Those modules are also proprietary, meaning we rely on the resources of a small kickstarted campaign to make as many modules as we would need. Otherwise, it is just a more fixable phone. The Fairphone was another. Also kickstarted, also proprietary. BUT THEN, THERE'S THIS Announcing the LG G5 - And Friends - A Flagship Modular Smartphone The modules look promising A camera extension bump, for more classic SLR control and grip. A second camera, for better camera, or for different camera (wide angle? normal camera? low light?) A stronger louder better speaker block. A 360 degree camera A (not directly connected) little ball robot thing. Taran would LOVE it! This is as literal as hotswap battery has ever been. It's like reloading a gun now! Replacable home buttons and USB port too, because they're coming off as well. If you swap out many modules frequently, you'll never break one because each is connected to its modular block. "Always on Screen", so the contrast of an OLED; but it isn't an OLED. Shame, because LG makes some of the best in the industry. But it isn't all rosey and peaches. Yes, this is the launch video for one of the largest phone brands, and their modular stuffs. On the other hand, this is probably the exhaustive list as to what we'll see from them (think of how well they maintain android updates, eh?) It is still proprietary, and it is merely something to expand the hardware functionality. It does nothing to eliminate e-waste. It is going to be just as hard to repair this phone, perhaps even harder. And these blocks aren't the "add 15 batteries in the same thing for the power user. Remove all of them and replace them with a gps system and a drone mount for fancy drone control and camera" This is just the "add a large speaker at your party because why not"? They're gimicky. They sell the modularity as another way to "replace battery", compared to the traditional style of pulling off the back cover. Much of the video focuses on the non-replacable phone stuff anyway. But it is a step in the right direction by the big companies, two and a half years after Hakkens originally proposed what the future of smartphones would be. And we are heading there.

Hi everyone! Me and a friend have recently started out on Star Citizen, and it would be cool if we could get into the same instance as one another, but they're always full!! Does anyone know if there's a trick i can use to find an instance that isn't full or something? Cheers! Jordan
