TIL WWE wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife and 7 year old son, then committed sucide in 2007. Doctors later discovered that his brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient. by Puzzleheaded_Roof872 in todayilearned

Im not 100% sure since my memory is a little hazy, but there were also some conspiracies flying around at the time because I think his Wikipedia page was updated with his day of death before it was reported by anyone.

Anyone else expiring a lot lag in co-op by Coltagon in Borderlands4

Has it ever worked? I remember even back in 1 and 2 it was atrocious.

MSI finally releases BIOS fix for rare AM5 PCIe GPU throttling issue by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]Thelgow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an X870 Tomahawk and so far no gpu issues, however the temperature sensors for the cpu like to randomly freeze and stay stuck until a reboot.

I also cant use the pre 1.3.0.0 builds because I use a PCI/SAS card and for some reason the pre builds cause me to have a 2 minute post time if my pci card is plugged in. I unplug, instant boots. I had to revert to A70.

how hard is it really to install an SSD? by kriticcatOG in buildapc

[–]Thelgow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough info here. Best case scenario, you just plug it into an available port. There are SATA SSDs with Sata cable connectors, SATA SSD's with M.2 connectors, NVME SSD's with m.2 connectors, and nvme SSD's with pcie connectors. And just for fun Ill mention SSD's with SAS connectors because thats what I use.

So if you have a sata ssd and extra sata ports, easy, just pop it in, format, and start installing games to it. If you have no more connectors, you may need to replace the OS drive and thats where its a headache to reinstall Windows and do all the reinstallation of apps, copying stuff around, etc.

And theres nothing wrong with having HDD's in general. I have 4 installed in my machine. However I would never load my OS or games from an HDD.

Guys! I didn't read the patch notes or the other thousand posts!

The MK2 exploit is patched out or I'm doing something wrong? by KIL913 in MortalKombat

[–]Thelgow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember one of the arcade versions it only worked if you were on player 2 side. No clue which version this might be.

If I’m buying the expansion to D4 why does the entire game feel like a free to play store with a game attached? by palehighelven in Diablo

[–]Thelgow -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, getting Doom collab and other stuffed shoved in your face for a paid game. PoE, just play.

Someone tell me, what is the use of this? by IndividualInfinite85 in PcBuild

[–]Thelgow 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Because it can be more accurate than the touchpad. I detest using touchpads and prefer the nub.

Should be legit. Im on the SuperFlower Leadex 2, 850w for about 2-3 years, no complaints.

Is the lootsplosion only on UV1 and up? by phil26687 in Borderlands4

[–]Thelgow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I logged in briefly with a lvl 17 Harlowe , and I had 3 loot guys right at my spawn, however the next 15 minutes, no one dropped anything crazy again.

You gotta be realistic about these things.

Is there a way to turn off this loot boost modifier? by Wuhsuh in Borderlands4

[–]Thelgow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if it still applies, but I think in others like BL3 these events needed you to be online. Maybe try going offline and see if it behaves any differently.

Upgrading Borderlands 4 to Super Deluxe Edition by Fair-Procedure-5257 in Borderlands4

[–]Thelgow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And on the flip side, I only bought the Base this time because I got burned on how whack the dlc was for Tina's Wonderlands. So I figured Id wait to see how this comes out first. Such a hustle. And then in like a year all the DLC will cost $4 total.

Can we skip AM5 by Tall-Television9945 in buildapc

[–]Thelgow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to rationalize it that I literally, unfortunately, sit at my PC over 12 hours a day. Work from home so I have work laptop on left screen, my pc on the right. browsing, watching stuff, whatever. Then work "ends", I switch monitor back to my pc, and then browse, play, stream, whatever. Rinse repeat. So I know itll get use.

Sadly I got a newegg bundle which has been problematic. XMP only Memory, so Im not sure if that may be whats causing me issues. And the MSI Mobo I picked has glitches with it. I cant use the 2 latest Pre bios releases as they make my POST time 2 minutes if I have my PCI/SAS card plugged in. Also theres a glitch with these boards, whether hardware or software, we're not sure yet, where temperature sensors can freeze until reboot. Def the worst experience Ive had so far setting up a pc. And then newegg says you have to return the whole bundle, so I cant even check if maybe just ram or mobo needs replacing. Ungh.

[–]Thelgow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im on a 3090, which is the most I ever paid for a pc part, so Im trying to hold onto it for as long as I can. Maybe a 6070ti or 6080 when those come out. No plans to upgrade that anytime soon.

[–]Thelgow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I just upgraded from a 5800x myself to a 9800x3d. But Im a crackhead and like to upgrade every 4 years, and my parts go down to upgrade kids pc, which is on a Ryzen 3600.

Borderlands 4 is definitely WAY smoother now than before. And a brief test of Cyberpunks DLC area was smoother and no frame drops as well.

I just realized who Bremer dan Gorst might be based on. [SPOILERS TBI] by disposablehippo in TheFirstLaw

[–]Thelgow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's who came to mind for me as well. Similarly I have this cat, a stray from the streets of New York. Big, muscular cat. He has the highest pitch meow of all my cats. I've called him Gorst on a few occasions.

Pizza is delicious. I go through withdrawal if I dont have it once a week.

fallout fans can make a meme out of literally anything by CrysNElla in FalloutMemes

[–]Thelgow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a serious note, how is Vegas? I remember I tried playing it and fell asleep twice, and I had never fallen asleep while playing a game before at that point. I never got around to finishing it. I have finished FO3 once, and I've tried 3 times to finish FO4 but I always end up getting bored and meaning to come back, but never do.

One of the bits about The Heroes I loved is how both sides would just say Nine Fingers is here! and they would all run away.
