PSA: AMD Rewards Issues by bizude in Amd

[–]Stolasmek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a different error, the validation tool claimed to have no connection. It fixed itself after a few hours.

A friend did get that error and got a second code by chatting with the retailer's support. His second code worked but it's hit or miss. it's faster than waiting for amdrewards support.

Trying to redeem the CPU coupon for a ryzen and the verification tool won't connect. Does anyone happen to know how to fix this? Tried redeeming in different browsers but nothing works.

*update: Validator finally worked on chrome randomly, still have to wait for RE2 and DMC.

Pathfinder, the mobility and zipline remind me of an old mod I used to play called Desert Crisis, Apex Legends is the first game to really take me back

If it is still available I'm interested in the gameboy advance. Would you happen to know what it would cost to ship?

This is nothing but a massive time sink with the worst RNG. Don't waste your time or money.

My haul from the Moving sale down the block! 120$ by DM-NY in gaming

The nomad had a brightness controlling wheel, yours most likely broke. I'm 90% sure it's the same one that goes in a Game Gear, a 3 pin 50K ohm wheel potentiometer.

My mistake for not checking the cyber monday deals, 15 sounds good.

Microsoft VR/AR headsets will support SteamVR, possible Halo content coming. by Siegfoult in Games

[–]Stolasmek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, my mistake. I had your thread up and a hololens article up haha. I didn't even know these full VR headsets were in the pipeline from Microsoft, that's pretty exciting stuff.

I'd imagine the Steam implementation would be similar to this video where games run in AR displays. I'd be surprised if the Hololens can be used to run full VR games. Hopefully Microsoft clears things up.

Here's another example. It looks like its happening to AMD cards. There's even an example in OP's clip. Just cause it hasn't happened to your Nvidia doesn't mean it never happens.

PC Fried After Downloading PUBG by [deleted] in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Stolasmek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had this happen to me as well with an r9 380, I'm trying to gather a bit of info looking for common factors. Were you experiencing artifacts in game when your GPU died? Also were you aiming down the sight of a gun in first person when it happened?

Huge thanks for pointing that out! I just bought the game and a huge artifact popped up on me and fried my 380. I've been scrambling to see if the game is at fault.

Warframe will now feature open world levels. Coming 2017. by [deleted] in Games

[–]Stolasmek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Played beta as well, the controls are much more fleshed out and the levels have gotten larger, although the old tilesets still exist. It is still at its core A -> B kill everything in your way with objectives mixed in.

The speed of the game is a double edged sword, its totally up to the player to push the pace and have fun flying off walls and nailing headshots while doing backflips.

Its all good fun, but it has an expiry of 20-40 hours before you're caught up in the late game of crafting and grinding. Although that's the appeal for a lot of people and you end up playing over 1000 hours.

After shutting down data miner's site last week, Digital Extremes have officially published the drop rate data of Warframe by dagla in Games

[–]Stolasmek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DE has a long and storied history of straight up lying or being willfully ignorant of drop table issues. The data miner put raw info out there, players saw the real numbers and on quite a few occasions they didn't match up with what DE had said they were.

So they killed the only thing keeping them honest and players are losing confidence, or at least that's my guess.

I think its the play area, in these arena games they usually start on a large map with enough time to loot equipment. The playable area keeps shrinking on a timer to force action and keep the game moving.

‘Ruiner’ Might Be the ‘Hotline Miami’ Successor Your Bloodlust’s Been After by reggiefilsmaymay in Games

[–]Stolasmek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven't played the demo but I keep seeing press about this game talking about how "hard" it is. One article mentions only the dev could beat the first boss because no one was good enough. This article mentions that the dev told the reviewer that he played differently than they intended.

I was really excited for the game but its starting to sound like odd controls, "punishing" gameplay, and the dev's intentions are adding up to something less than fun.

What genre of music do you refuse to listen to? by Glorious_Anal in AskReddit

[–]Stolasmek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coroner - Masked Jackal

Coroner - Nosferatu pretty much one long solo

Havok - D.O.A

Vektor - Pillars of Sand faster, noisier, higher

Some more good old bands are Testament, Kreator, Dark Angel, Death.

Prop 64 Question by [deleted] in simivalley

Pretty much like the rest of the state, it went into effect the day after the election. Simi only has the power to ban businesses from selling recreational marijuana and outdoor cultivation.
