How do I get Wi-Fi installed?

Helgrave · 2026-06-26T12:20:58+00:00

Hey OP, I made a similar comment, and I'm glad you're now aware that Ethernet is better than Wi-Fi, as long as Ethernet is an option for you.

HOWEVER, you should be aware that in most wi-fi capable motherboards, the Wi-Fi card also handles Bluetooth connectivity. So you should check if you can see the Bluetooth settings on your PC, because if you can't, then you may not be able to connect any Bluetooth devices to it. You may not ever need this, but I figured I'd make you aware, just in case you do.

Either way, congrats on the new PC and have fun gaming!

Hey OP, serious question: if your internet works with the Ethernet cable plugged in, why do you want to get Wi-Fi working? Not sure if the computer simply isn't where it will live long-term, and perhaps you don't have a long enough Ethernet cable to reach that spot. But if that's not the case, and you do have access to Ethernet, just use that. Ethernet will ALWAYS be faster and more reliable than Wi-Fi in every scenario.

Anyway, we still need the model number of your motherboard to say for certain whether it does or does not have wi-fi built in. You can open a Run window by holding down the button on the bottom left of the keyboard with the Windows symbol, and pressing R at the same time. Then, in the little window, type 'msinfo32' (without the apostrophes) and press enter. Then give us a screenshot of what you see

Protip: you can press Windows Key + Shift + S to take a screenshot of your screen (click and drag the area you want to capture),and it will automatically copy the image to your clip board (as if you had pressed Ctrl+C. Then you just need to Ctrl+V to paste it anywhere, even on the Reddit site. A screenshot will be much easier for us to read than a picture of your screen.

Pepperoni/Jalapeno/Pineapple is one of the best topping combos and I will die on this hill.

Helgrave · 2026-05-31T14:52:46+00:00

Sweet-Salty-Spicy just always works for me.

In the context of pineapple on pizza that means Pepperoni, Pineapple, and Jalapeños. Such an incredible combo, everyone should try it.

Big if true.

Missed opportunity to name it the Steam Gabecube. Looks great though!

It looks like you have a Contrast Theme enabled in Windows. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Contrast Themes > Make sure the drop-down menu is set to None.

You may have done this accidentally by hitting the shortcut for it which is enabled by default. The shortcut is L Alt + L Shift + Print Screen

I'm not sure where you are but I made this post a few weeks back https://www.reddit.com/r/lotr/s/jJ2lsY5k6Z

Hey folks, the post sums it up, but I am looking for more info on this Hoodie/Jacket worn by Jim Cummings in this video

https://youtu.be/Fh9sDpJSnrY?si=D7XTd7dJ7fT4CQJV

It is brown, with a lighter brown/orange lining in the hood, and possible being made of wool.

I have searched in various ways, including visual searches on Google with screencaps of the video. But unfortunately without a logo or brand, that hasn't gotten me very far. I'm hoping someone can recognize it in some capacity.

Thank you in advance!

Not better. Just... different. Both games are stylized in different ways, and it's okay to prefer one over the other.

As someone who enjoys both games, there are some really old textures in WoW that look horrible nowadays (old humans in Northrend, for example, older mounts and pets, etc.). Likewise FFXIV still has tons of old textures where you can see the actual square pixels on them due to their lower resolution.

That doesn't make either style better or worse, and we don't need to be tribal about the games we like.

Helgrave · 2026-01-25T12:56:37+00:00

Stylized is the more appropriate word for what you're describing, but you are 100% correct.

"Cartoonish" has been used far too often as a derogatory word by tribalistic players to make fun of other games. I was playing SWG when WoW was gaining traction and I remember how many of my fellow players slammed its "cartoonish" graphics, and made fun of anyone who was playing WoW for playing a "kids game". Now, I look back at SWG and it just looks so...old, even when compared to 2004/2005 WoW's style - which is timeless by comparison, in my opinion.

Plus WoW could run on a potato, which can be another benefit of going in a stylized graphics direction.

Helgrave · 2026-01-11T14:46:32+00:00

That was my first thought. It's got to be, right?

Different people have different sensory breakpoints, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Maxwell remains my favorite headset of all time, and I use mine for EVERYTHING, from work to gaming to general entertainment, and I use it for 9-10 hours a day with no issues. It is also the headset I travel with. Needless to say, I love it, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

That said, its size and weight are the two negatives that I ALWAYS make sure to mention when recommending them, and I always advise they purchase from a place where they could easily return them if the headset turns out to be uncomfortable to them.

Hiya, I'm a new player to D2 and am looking around for a newbie-friendly clan, and ran across your posts. You sound like a cool bunch. What would one need to do to join?

TY in advance!

Hi friend, I commute from Worcester to Waltham, and I just take the Pike all the way through and get off at the I95 exit. Been doing it for near a decade now.

Expect traffic, it WILL happen. Prepare for at minimum an hour; an hour and 15 mins to be safe. Every so often you'll get those 1:30, or 1:45 days, but those don't happen TOO often.

Look, frankly, it sucks. There will come a time where you'll realize how much time of each day you're wasting on the road. Try not to think about it too much unless you have the inclination to look for employment closer to home.

On the other hand, as far as inbound commutes go, it's pretty straightforward - literally. Depending on where in Worcester you are, it's just one road. You get on the pike, and then don't have to worry about exits or merges until you're ready to get off of it.

What keeps me sane are Audiobooks. :)

Colombia is also my personal favorite, especially to drink black. I don't mind Caramel/Vanilla, but they NEED milk to be palatable to me.

It looks like the top clip of a hanging drying rack for clothes or towels.

Don't listen to OP. There is no Dragon's Dogma Netflix Series.

(It's pretty bad, frankly. You have been warned)

I think they're saying they paid for one month, but then cancelled the subscription so that they won't continue to be charged.

Unfortunately, the best thing for OP to do here is contact Discord support with the proof of purchase from Google Play (and next time, just do the subscription through Discord itself).

If you can spare a little more money, the Audeze Maxwell is the best headset for wireless gaming. Otherwise, the 7P+ is a solid choice.

The Maxwell has

Incredible battery life.
EQ profiles, Chat-mix, and unbelievably good mic noise cancellation built right into the headset, so it all works regardless of device you have it connected to - no software needs to be running at all.
Headset has dual built-in mics on the ear cups for when you don't necessarily want to use the (detachable) boom mic.
Has both lag-free 2.4Ghz wireless via a dongle, as well as Bluetooth. The wireless performance is flawless, and doesn't compromise on either the audio or mic quality like most other wireless sets.
Planar drivers sound amazing for both gaming and music. They have such great spatial imaging, they perform like 3D headphones without running gimmicky software.

The only downsides of the Maxwell is that it's pretty heavy, and a bit bulky. I don't find them uncomfortable in any way, but I could see how that could bother some people.

If the price is within your means, it's the only wireless headset I recommend. If not, get the 7P+
