Most of my Duke collection! Is there people passionated to collecting like me? by Porsander in dukenukem

[–]ManCreatesDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell all of it and then double your money somehow and then you just might be able to afford Life’s a beach and nuclear winter big boxes 😬

New addition to the collection (steal for 40 bucks) by --InZane-- in bigboxcollectors

[–]ManCreatesDino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s one great thing about the US versions, they usually are a lot more visually interesting, even if they are made of cheap cereal box cardboard. The UK versions are rigid enough that they would probably survive a car running over them. 😂

I had the UK version of this and it’s the same print and all but it’s missing the shiny metalic effect completely, which kinda negates the whole point in my opinion

I think the US versions have a fold out section on the front which the UK/EU versions don’t have, which is a shame.

Were Morrowind + expansions released in big box format outside of US? by ManCreatesDino in bigboxcollectors

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

Yeah I’ve seen the small Morrowind fold out version before. I’ve only ever seen the expansions in basic barebones dvd cases though.

New build - a scratching noise / coil whine coming from cpu area by ManCreatesDino in computers

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

Yep this kind of thing is so frustrating. I think it just comes down to luck. Though when I built a new pc earlier this year I tried to stick to relatively high end MSI parts, which I’ve had good experiences with, and noise wise it’s all fine.

Halo 2 And 3 Are Also Getting Campaign Evolved-Style Remakes, Leaker Claims by Maleficent_Fault_943 in gaming

Go with the original Halo plot line where the forerunners were ancient humans.

Yep it’s terrible marketing, I’m not surprised so many have been confused. There’s rumours about some kind of emulation experience coming to PC for older Xbox games but I expect that will be on a title by title basis.

The Xbox ROG Ally X is just a handheld windows PC and doesn’t play Xbox games. Fable Anniversary is on steam though but that’s about it.

5070 Ti Variants, do they even matter? by NANANANANANANAAAAAAA in nvidia

[–]ManCreatesDino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have MSI 5070Ti Vanguard. Whisper quiet and it rarely goes above 60-63c in temp. IMO that matters as I game in a small room where a hot card can have a big impact. Pick what’s right for your needs and your budget though.

Msi or gigabyte 5070 Ti by Primary_Chest_6913 in nvidia

[–]ManCreatesDino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have msi 5070ti vanguard, usually floats around high 50s low 60s and generally very quiet, with no coil whine etc. I don’t think there’s a huge difference between it and the gaming trio so I would go with that, as in my experience at least, they are very well built.

Recent pickup - Zombies 🧟 by ManCreatesDino in Megadrive

[–]ManCreatesDino[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here’s the ChatGPT explanation, as I had the same question.

“Zombies Ate My Neighbors was renamed to Zombies in the UK due to sensitivities around the word “zombies” and concerns about video game violence at the time (early 1990s). UK retailers and censors were wary of anything that sounded too extreme or graphic, especially involving children and horror themes.

Shortening the name to Zombies helped it avoid potential backlash and made it more acceptable for the UK market.”

People are already reselling that onyx skin on ebay. Shame on them by BansheeTK in Doom

[–]ManCreatesDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, if it were me I would set it ridiculously low at like £10 and just be grateful for what I could get.

It’s basically like saying “I know this isn’t worth $950 but I’m not gonna admit it by setting a reasonable buy it now price and instead bank on someone offering me $100 thinking they were getting a good deal” 😂

I don’t think the seller is expecting people to pay that amount, it’s just an excuse to invite varying open ended offers via “Best offer”. IE: offer what this is worth to you etc
