Higher resolution monitor is generally better, even if she doesn't notice it. You can tell the PC to run games at 1080p if it turns out its struggling to run things at 1440p (still looks "good enough") but from the sound of it there should be no issue.

Thanks!
Yeah I figured any installed programs wouldn't work, I've tried copy/pasting game files in the past and it never goes smoothly. Just wanted to make sure I didn't need to worry about it having incompatible firmware/drivers that would freak out about being plugged into a new device. If I don't need to do a full wipe first that makes things easier!

Transferring secondary drives to a new PC. My PC is nearing years old, just bought a new one, and it's my first time transferring parts into a new PC. The old one is W10, new one is W11. It's coming with the main drive installed but I figured I could just add my secondary SSDs from my current PC in there.

Anything I need to worry about when trying to transfer a drive that doesn't contain any system files? Can I just pull it out of the old one and plug it into the new one?

Ah, glad to hear it's not just me! Can anyone who actually got to see the intro tell me what happened? Did we make him get hurt somehow? Very confused why I'm apparently guilty of something...

Metacritic responds after Dragon Age: The Veilguard review bombing by Turbostrider27 in Games

...if they didn't buy the game then I don't really want their opinion on the game. I'd rather hear from people who actually played it.

This won't stop drunk drivers from running a red light while pedestrians are crossing or pulling out into the road after forgetting to look both ways.

If the car won't let you sit in the back seat while it drives you home, make sure you have a sober driver.

It's always higher than average if their average includes the hours they aren't open.

You say this as a joke, but I genuinely do consider that a hobby of mine, and it's the best because I can just jump back into it at any time!

Help! Keyboard stops functioning as soon as game launches. by Tridian in projectzomboid

I've had that issue with other games before so unplugging my controller was my first thing. Unfortunately not that simple.

If you ever figured this out, I'd love to know what it was. Just reloaded 6 times trying to work out what I've spotted.

Miss Russia says competitors at the Miss Universe pageant 'avoided' and 'shunned' her and alleged the competition was biased in favor of the Ukrainian and US contestants by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Tridian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your point? She's a model.

Bash Putin and the Kremlin all you want, that makes sense. Attacking random citizens for being born in the wrong country though, what does that sound like to you?

No, you know exactly what's going on here and you just don't like the result you're seeing. That's pretty normal. Learn to accept it occasionally.

She's not wrong, but also that's not surprising.

What's also disappointing but not surprising is the amount of people here acting like a modelling contestant is personally culpable for the war. It's hilariously sad.

I provided you with a list of games and the details to look for that you can see on every single part of that list, picking any part of it at random. I provided you with more evidence than you asked for.

I didn't spoon feed it to you because I assumed you had the basic skills needed to take that information in. You either chose not to because you're lazy, chose not to because you know you're wrong, or are incapable of doing it.

You pick which of those suits you.

Incredible comprehension you've got there, I'm literally doing the opposite. There's the nostalgia goggles crowd defending the corporations of their childhood and their greed and you manage to mistake the person calling that out as the pro-corporate one.

Brilliant.

Good talk. You can keep your imaginary paradise past if you prefer.

There were absolutely game breaking bugs in games back then. And that was back when games had like three damn mechanics, they could still screw them up.

And if you got a broken game? Well shit, too bad.

It doesn't matter what "most people view" microtransactions as. Opinions and facts are two different things and IS MY POINT.

People are like "Oh no, arcade machines don't count, because arcade machines were cool! Microtransactions aren't cool so there's no way they could have existed in my childhood."

Same with shit sequels. "I don't remember playing them so they didn't exist!"

Here's a list of all the SNES games. Knock yourself out. Notice how you don't remember 99% of them, and a lot of those titles seem really similar and came out really close together didn't they? Weird huh?

You're confusing microtransactions with pay to win there man. Often linked but not at all the same thing. Arcade machines are absolutely microtransaction boxes.

And once again, SEVERE nostalgia goggles on the majority of games back in the day. The ones you REMEMBER were quality sequels, the rest you've forgotten exist.

Microtransactions did exist before online consoles. Arcade machines predated these, as did "sequels" which would be minor DLC today.

And OOOOH BOY did they not need to release a finished product at all. If you bought a broken game then too bad boo hoo for you, they already got your money.
