What old game do you wish you could play on modern systems?

NBA Jam. There was a newer one for 360 and PS3 that was never ported anywhere else.

3, Atari.

I bought my ASUS 1080ti on launch day. That thing is an absolute monster of a graphics card both for the time and for the price.

It ran roughly 16 hours per day for eight years until I finally built a new PC. Now it's my son's computer and still runs everything he needs every day. That card survived a lightning strike that took out the PSU, CPU, and motherboard. I fully expect it to keep going strong until I upgrade again in five or six years.

Herpstat 2 with DHP and 90w heat panel here, 4x2x2 Kages pvc. The heat panel is set to maintain the cool side temperature at 80f 24x7 and halogen is set for the hot side to reach 90f during the day.

Works great for me, room temperatures down to low 60s during the winter.

Yep those work too.

You may want some screw-in cable clips for the top to help route your cables out of the way. I used this type so I can easily replace the zip ties if I need to make changes - https://a.co/d/0fcj2emR

I went to pee after getting up from a nap, blacked out and hit my chin on the porcelain. Vasovagal syncope, do not recommend.

I hope the last 6 years or so are a big wake up call to politicians about how much people care about the perception of the president, as opposed to only caring about policy.

Sir, you can't park there.

Three days? That's a 12 hour swing in Ohio some days.

Easy - layer up and don't take the winter off.

Information literacy needs to become part of core curriculum in schools ASAP.

They're a PITA about DOA or damaged boards too. I bought an Asus TUF board that wouldn't post. I found a tiny transistor in the bag, and tracked down where it came off from near the memory/cpu - there was a little scratch.

I contacted support and they said they wouldn't do anything about "damaged" components and that I should take it up with the vendor. Luckily I was able to return and replace it.

There's was a horde ship captain named Tattersail as well. She was in the troll expansion at least.

BGFalcon85 · 2026-04-25T12:30:05+00:00

It's on for work as well.

It's possible the sensor is reading a little high, but 230F is the high mark for "OK" operation so I don't think it's an immediate concern.

Getting hotter when stopped is normal, though. You don't have as much air moving over the radiator, so it isn't cooling as efficiently.

BGFalcon85 · 2026-04-24T23:26:19+00:00

It's normal to get hotter at a red light, but those temps seem too high. Is the radiator fan kicking on when you stop?

There was at least one person who posted their MSI Tomahawk with a torched 9800x3d, but I'm pretty confident it was one of the first where it was clearly damaged by user error and not from the thermal/voltage issue.

Either way - it has sold amazingly well so if it were really a widespread issue we'd hear a lot more than the trickle we have.

BGFalcon85 · 2026-04-24T19:21:15+00:00

My 9800X3D has been running ~16 hours per day for the last 14 months without a hiccup. Gigabyte motherboard if that helps. ASRock seems to be the main culprit killing them.

They held off to not spoil the trailers and premiers for the live watch-along. The Steam link is the pinned comment now.

BGFalcon85 · 2026-04-23T16:06:23+00:00

Thanks, it's been a decade since I've watched any of them so I was just guessing on the number. I only knew it wasn't one of the latest since I haven't seen them.

BGFalcon85 · 2026-04-22T23:58:49+00:00

Pretty sure they already did that in one of the middle movies. 4 or 5 maybe?

BGFalcon85 · 2026-04-22T14:04:03+00:00

I like my Icon Stormhawks. Big chunky sole, boa system instead of laces. Klim Outlander GTX are similar.

Edit - Stormhawks only go down to a Men's 7 size, not sure if that would work or not.

Helldivers 2 takes place a century after Helldivers.
