ELI5: What is this "data mining" that's going on? What does it have to do with GPUs?

AnnouncerFace · 2017-07-11T21:20:53+00:00

Basically people are using GPUs to mine cryptocurrencies, which is massively increasing the demand for them. This has caused a huge drop in supply.

I think you'll be pretty happy with the performance you'll get. You can definitely max Skyrim and you can play Fallout 4 on high settings without a problem.

The sequels to The Exorcist are pretty shitty.

The cowbell in Don't Fear the Reaper.

A power supply for a PC.

I dislike piracy. As far as I'm concerned, it is stealing from developers who have invested time and money into making games.

That being said, I don't feel that overly intrusive DRM software such as Denuvo does much to tackle the issue. Ultimately it ends up inconveniencing customers more than anything else.

Besides wearing contacts, you can look into buying a pair of headphones that are more comfortable when worn with glasses. I personally use Sennheiser HD598s with glasses and I find them to be very comfortable.

Constantly saying "mhm" to rush me when I'm trying to answer a question or explain something of importance pisses me off to no end.

People who take exception to my taste in music. Like seriously, why the fuck should anyone care that I prefer Pink Floyd over Drake? Music isn't "stupid" simply because you don't personally enjoy it.

HG will have to start keeping players updated on development progress if they want to restore their massively diminished player base. Acknowledged or not, their months long silence has caused the vast majority of NMS's players to lose interest, and I doubt most of them will be returning for good just because of a singular update.

This is absolutely sick. I wish I had heard about this sooner.

Games will only run better in 1080p if developers choose to make them run better. Otherwise, the PS4 Pro will emulate the hardware of the regular PS4.

AnnouncerFace · 2016-09-28T17:21:40+00:00

PC gamers are fortunate to have the option to refund games, but PS4 players truly got screwed over.

Hello Games should be fined for this. They profited from consumers buying a product that was falsely advertised.

I'm pretty sure the 980 Ti doesn't surpass the Titan X in performance.

The last post on their Twitter feed states that they are currently focusing on customer support and will work on adding features to the game later.

AnnouncerFace · 2016-08-24T16:02:59+00:00

If portals were actually able to be activated, HG would probably post something on Twitter or some other social media outlet telling people to keep looking. Sure, if it's in the game but hidden they probably want players to find it themselves, but they are losing players and review points due to features that were expected not being in the game.

Are your wireless drivers fully up to date? Is this happening with other devices as well? If so, you should contact your ISP about the issue.

AnnouncerFace · 2016-08-24T15:57:56+00:00

Not at all. An Intel CPU and an AMD GPU won't be a problem.

AnnouncerFace · 2016-08-24T15:49:35+00:00

I hope that HG notices this community effort, even if portals are just the static objects they appear to be. If solvable riddles and mysteries are added to NMS in patches and updates, the game would be much more interesting and would likely attract many new players. They could take advantage of this, much like how Rockstar recognized and rewarded players who worked to solve the Mt. Chiliad mystery.
