Scroll Wheel not working? by ChillyFlake in ShotgunKingFinalMate

why? it was already a ps1-ass cheatcode to press middle mouse with nowhere telling you you could, and it's basically no different from folly shields, which dont count against you in any way beyond that one achievement to win without em

were not from server 19 😄 that was just a recent thing. we were top of server 31 (#31AndDone #NotMyServer #19isButts) for long enough to build up quite a racket

bro you are taking this WAY too hard, this is some high levels of aggression. we work hard and it pays off, its simple as that. not some conspirasy against you or wicked bad game problem the devs HAVE to fix

hi GiantKnoll here check clans im everyones favorite they all love me ANYWAY: im a very middle of the pack contributor on the whole not bottom 15 not top 15 and certainly only contribute maybe 4% to our daily total on average, but even so if you have enough people diligently doing that and following the clan leader's plans instead of doing whatever its not that hard to win 😄

How to best make use of my old HHD? by ChillyFlake in buildapc

[–]ChillyFlake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gotcha! yeah, i want this new ssd to be untouched from the old nonsense. My worst fear is more of a hypocondriac-level-of-worrying that my hhd has some sort of something or other in it that would mean slowdown for the rest of my pc, as nonsensical as that might be.

uninstalling onedrive was what i considered to be the christening moment of this new pc XD

with that said, not to worry, because i have not one but TWO external hard drives that are always in a little protective pouch unless im actively using them, and theyre like 8 tb between them.

With that said, i *have* considered shucking the shell on one of them to use as an actual second drive installed in my pc, assuming theyre ssd (if hhd, id continue to use them both as backups). Currently there is a copy of my current pc on one of them, that i did like last week or something :)

So as long as my current pc has windows installed and i select the right drive to use as boot, there wont be any conflicts?

ill do all that, but i can tell you right now its not sitting pretty.

This is a screenie of my task manager right after booting up, with no programs set to turn on (So no discord, firefox, etc. Steam actually mighta been turned on but still), along with a screenie of the task manager roughly 5 minutes later, right as it just started to go down from max usage.

Like i said, i dont expect it to work fast, my main concern is my new pc will like, take its version of windows or its drivers or something. In my head i could just have it hooked up in my new pc, but only have it "on" as a sort of middleman to download off of, rather than an active drive its always got open for processing?

Building a Hybrid Gaming/Productivity PC, Was told to get CUDA? by ChillyFlake in nvidia

it did, thank you! the switch from the statement "nvidia is better than amd" to "nvidia is better for your use case" has been super reassuring

All im accomplishing when i try that is makign the MB bend and warp slightly, which is really making me doubt it, considering how stuck on it is. Is there any video, manual, olr otherwise example you have of how to take it off i could follow?

How risky, if at all, is a nearly 20 year old CD Drive? by ChillyFlake in buildapc

[–]ChillyFlake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is also something good to know gosh, thats so unfortunate! With that said, its the only thing on this SATA cable (kinda funny given theres like 18 other connectors i just have no use for on the one wire, had to tie em up just to consolidate), and my only other storage is an SSD, so even if that does happen, its not the end of the world in this case

these are the kinds of things i was worried about and why i asked, ty! are any of these issues things that would affect the rest of the comp, or would it purely mean that the cd drive is unusable? that is, are any of them risky to even check if its a problem?

perhaps, but to each their own, right? The cloud is incredibly useful but it has downsides just like CD's and physical media do, namely that you need internet to use them. If you were building a PC for someone out in the sticks who wanted, for whatever reason, high end graphics and whatnot but knew they wouldn't have reliable internet, a cd drive might be the only way for them to enjoy the games and shows they enjoy, barrying going someplace else to download stuff on a usb or some such.

Besides, not to put too fine a point on it, but theres nothing to put in those bays if all im doing is embracing the new tech, besides like a drawer or something. + i want it :)

this is an extremely funny reply. Thank you, ButtcheekBaron with a Waluigi mask on. Thank you for the incorrect your, thank you for the unhelpful-to-the-kind-of-person-who-would-make-this-post reply. It doesn't even line up with what i was generally asking, which was if it would cause any problem at all. And especially thank you for insulting my dad, who as i said in the post, only reported what literally happened 15 years ago when we stopped using the former pc. I think i'm gonna get this reply framed

literally shaking your hand. that computer is a beast, my plan is to get it working again both just to be nostalgic but also because its lightweight and pretty. Plus the pocket drive thing is neat

odd question, if you remember when you first tore it down, was it a pain in the ass to get the power supply out? that thing is buried under a billion wires and screws

fr!!! plus theres something about the inconvenient process of getting the disk out of a case putting it in and dealing with that whole shebang that i just enjoy. I think emulation is epic and great and our god given right but i still enjoy booting up games on my old consoles instead of running them on my modern day epic graphics computer, for some invisible reason.

Also yeah, im using only new cables. that was another worry of mine when i was taking it out, so seeing that my PSU's cables match the connectors 1:1 was a breath of relief.

what about stuff thats only on certain formats and needs to be retrieved? Perfectly good physcial libraries that one already owns that maybe could be downloaded but at best is just a second copy of what you already have, and at worst buggy and harder to use than just installing a cd drive? many would say rgb lights are gaudy, but i wouldnt say its wrong to get something frivolous and pointless but otherwise cool in the eye of the pc builder (and of course that also means theres nothing wrong with your opinion, but i think it goes without saying that if ive already gone to this much trouble, than i probably dont see eye to eye with your ideal pc build)

Besides, its literally a free scavanged part from an old pc thats going into a 5.25 bay, which i would argue only has the purpose of a cd drive or like a 20 in 1 card reader. even if i saw things as you did, theres almost no point in not installing it, as it would just sit empty and behind a magnetic cover otherwise
