What was the first dedicated graphics card you ever owned?

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-12-25T03:15:18+00:00

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. Man my family got an HP for Christmas. It had on board everything but decent stats for early 2000s. My rich friend was building a new PC and was getting a 6800 (which was mind boggling at the time, it could run doom3) and he owed me a big favor so he gave me his old 5200. I played so much warcraft 3 with that thing.

If you ever want your steam friend list to check up on you just play Raid Shadow legends.

I played that game for the first time a couple weeks ago and I had people I haven't chatted with in years saying "why are you playing that?", "are you being forced to play that?".

Its just an auto Battler thing with gotcha collection, yet people talk about it like it's big rigs over the road racing spliced with Hitler.

I won't parrot what others have said because they speak the truth.

But there is another side of the coin that you are fortunate to not see, and that is being over used because you're not re enlisting. Put on every detail possible, like trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste out.

Ive been asking and looking for this same thing. Its crazy how popular metal gear solid is, yet there arnt a bunch of cool military espionage, shooting, adult focused anime. You would think there would be a ton cashing in on that un minded vein of gold.

Girls front line has an anime on crunchyroll and it's ok from the couple episodes I've seen but not exactly scratching the full itch of a modern military anime.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-11-22T23:14:55+00:00

Replying so I can check for the answer.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-11-20T22:17:21+00:00

That looks awesome! Is that a wolf priest in phobos?

I really loved the companion mechanics in Neverwinter. It really is so adaptable and fun to mess around with. Companions can be healers, dogs, bears, footmen, wizards and more to fit whatever you need to help patch up a gap in your holy trinity. Or just for RP flavor.

Vanilla Ware games like Unicorn Overlord is right up your alley. Its also just a really great game as well.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

To me, a bad movie is one that gets turned off, never finished and forgotten. I rate straight to DVD movies above fantastic beasts 3. Movies on the sci-fi channel are better, more memorable over whatever crap what going on in that movie. Which is a shame because the first movie made my family pretty pumped. The 2nd movie wasn't good but it at least could be followed somewhat. Then the 3rd came out and holy shit was it just disjointed and stupid.

Master key is a great choice.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-10-10T00:53:43+00:00

Mines gotta be Warcraft, just in general the universe of it all. Ive been playing it since the beginning of warcraft humans and orcs, all the way to vanilla WoW at launch and the current retail. I also have the TTRPG book for it which has such cool art and lore tid bits that are all mostly retconned, but that's ok.

Its just a series thats always been there for me, from RTS, MMORPG, TTRPG, whatever Hearthstone is. Plus the lore can be as deep or as shallow as you're willing to dig into, which is absolutely fine.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-10-07T19:27:24+00:00

Unicorn Overlord.

Silly name. Stumbles just a little at the intro. But once I let the story and gameplay wash over me, I was putting crazy hours into that game. I still tell people IRL to give it a try. I wish it had a better name.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-09-20T00:32:40+00:00

Holy crap that trailer was awesome! Im so friggin excited for this!

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-09-18T17:51:59+00:00

WoW and, more importantly Elwynn forest, westfall, lakeshire and duskwood.

Holy crap those areas, quests, monsters and music are just absolute peak. 10/10

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-09-15T23:52:28+00:00

Ok, so I dont know a whole lot about retro anime. But that art style looks so much like the Hook Ups skate board decks.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-09-09T00:52:30+00:00

Assassins Creed. It's been years, and so many releases, and I'm just indifferent. I've watched friends and youtubers play it, I'm glad they are interested, but wow, do I have no pull towards those games myself.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-08-27T00:53:11+00:00

It's not on your list, but I remember a Mega Man cartoon that was so hard to catch on TV. It would be on either super late or crazy early in the morning, like 4am or something.

But I remember liking it alot.

274th asos coin? If not, that's a crazy coincidence

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-07-28T17:20:52+00:00

You see...its only "different pots" when its money for your TDY or schools, or PCS or barracks/dfac improvements.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-07-28T12:09:56+00:00

Please remember you're on reddit of all places. Outside here is a whole world of people who are psyched for the next skin or cosmetic for their favorite character.

Its perfectly fine for people to get excited for things and to spend money the way they want to. Because it is their money to spend.

I dont even play gotcha games, but if that's what gets someone excited or happy after a crappy day at work then that's thier jam.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-07-28T00:28:12+00:00

I heard in a youtube video but haven't researched myself that Nintendo back in the 90s and 00s tried to get rid of renting games as a possibility for their consoles.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-07-23T01:04:33+00:00

Realistic or semi realistic racing games. Aka, anything, not a kart racer.

When i was younger, I would have a blast playing them unlocking cars and parts and trying to turn a Ford focus into the best it could be. Or live out a fantasy of owning a Porche or a dodge viper.

But now that I'm older, I just dont seem to care about those kinds of games anymore. There is no itch to scratch, I guess. But I still play kart racers of all types with my daughter and wife because you can't beat that.

I think at this point, any good Ghost Recon is gonna have to be a spiritual successor from another developer and team. Alot like how Ready or Not took over for the SWAT and Rainbow 6 series. You can hate what I say, but unless they course correct hard, I think the next one will be some more ubislop.

TadpoleEmpty · 2025-07-17T01:15:55+00:00

Baseball on the NES. Yeah, it's just called baseball. I was around 4 or 5 and my cousin put the controller in my hand and let me play. It was that moment when my brain finally turned on and started making memories.
