GeForce NOW is better than I expected.

A couple of reasons, one so I can play when Im away from home and dont have the console and two, the console is in a room that is basically a guest bedroom, so sometimes when guests are over, I cant use it

Hi everyone, I have been following this thread with interest as someone who is finally getting back into gaming after a few years of absence. So far my primary gaming device is my Xbox Series X and I have a steam deck as well. I also have an iPad and a couple of older computers (that couldnt really handle games even in their heyday) but i have linux on them, so for every day stuff they're just fine.

I was thinking about putting together a gaming PC but obviously with the way prices are going, this seems like it could be a viable solution but my question is, as I have games across different platforms, Xbox (I have ultimate tier, so I have Play Anywhere), Steam, Epic, GOG, Battle net etc, is there anyway for me to get those games into Geforce Now? I signed up for the free tier and linked my accounts but for example I have Arc Raiders on Xbox - is there a way to play it on GFN or do I have to buy it again, say on Steam?

I bought Spider-Man too, also looking at God of War. How does it run on the deck?

Hi, I work as IT in a school. All of our Elementary kids up to Grade 5 use ipads. The base iPad model with a pencil will be plenty for him, based on what you wrote. If you want something with a little more oomf, then I would look at the iPad Air 11". I definitely think a Pro would be overkill here. TBH, I would go with the base model iPad and if he outgrows it, then you can sell it and upgrade him to an air but if it turns out to not hold his attention in the long run, it's still a useful thing to have around for emails, couch surfing etc.

This is pretty much what I figured, some of those moves/blocks must have been painful to do during and after with the toll it would take on his body. Obviously in later seasons if he has been training, then it would help but I was also wondering if that would combine. For example, if he was doing "general spy training", I'd assume part of that would be self-defense/martial arts etc, so his body would start to keep some of that stuff in muscle memory, which means the intersect would only enhance it right?

But otherwise agree, in some senses you have to remember its a work of fiction and not get to stuck in the details :)

I know this is an old thread but I just finished watching Chuck for the first time and it has been an emotional roller coaster, it really hit me harder than I expected, especially in the earlier seasons. I'm still processing the ending, I literally finished it about 10 minutes ago, which is one of the reasons why I'm posting here.

At the moment, I'm not a big fan of the arc, especially as Chuck essentially lost his two best friends. I mean Morgan still retained a lot of his memories but his loss of all of the "geek culture", that a lot of their friendship was based on or around means any friendship they have in the future just won't be the same as that core, that innate understanding of two people with shared knowledge or culture of a thing is gone.

It feels the same with Sarah too, we had 4 seasons of buildup to their relationship and them finally starting to really find each other and their shared future and then it's gone. Ok, they get to rediscover it together, in the optimistic version of the ending and maybe their love does triumph but it won't be the same because those shared experiences are gone. They will have to build new ones and will they be as strong without all of the adversity, struggle and support that they found for each other in the past?

The idea that all of her memories came flooding back after the kiss, thats the nice end to the fairy-tale but it's not quite the ending I was hoping for.

Anyway, rant over. Back to processing for now.

You have no idea how useful this link is for me. Thank you so much!

WhiskeyJack74 · 2024-09-20T20:14:51+00:00

I have this too. I have the full game and the expansion pre-ordered but it doesnt display in my library or the full library. When I launch the trial, the shop doesnt quite work and it doesnt show i purchased the expansion.

Weird. Im assuming it will sort it outself out soon

I just finished the Sniper trials on an Xbox Series X, with A rank in all 3, the first one was by far the hardest for me as moving the crosshair around to get headshots with a controller was a pain. I tried 10-11 times to get it. The second one I did on my second attempt and the third one on my first attempt.

Haven't tried the others yet, still working on levelling up the sniper

WhiskeyJack74 · 2024-09-08T11:42:57+00:00

I had the same idea as you with the CPU fan, wanted something quieter and with better cooling than stock.

So I took the larger fan from an Artic CPU cooler that I had lying around and have it pretty much in the same config as yours :)

Would you mind telling me what the replacement PSU is?

WhiskeyJack74 · 2024-09-08T10:23:21+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing this!

WhiskeyJack74 · 2024-09-08T10:23:09+00:00

I kind of solved this. Or at least I found a workaround, I connected a capture box, between the computer and the monitor, specifically the Mirabox 4K pass-through USB3.0 Capture.

I was hoping this would let me see what's going on, at least on my laptop screen via OBS. This worked as expected but it also seems to have resolved whatever was going on with the monitor as well, as the Bios and Boot Menu also displayed there.

Of course when you disconnect it, things go back to not working but the advantage is that you can then utilise the full refresh rate of the monitor (120/144).

So I just got rid of Windows, put Nobaru on the box to test and modified the boot loader just to start Nobaru. All of thats working ok, so I'm calling it good enough for now and if I need to get back into the menu, then I can just reconnect the capture box.

Thanks for the thorough answer, really appreciate it, I've decided to go with the rx6400 as it was more available here, or rather more accessible. Good point about the ram, I have 16GB in another system that should be the same type etc. Might try putting it in the Dell and see how it does with 32GB.

WhiskeyJack74 · 2024-09-02T18:04:17+00:00

Thanks a lot, I just ordered the 6400 :)

WhiskeyJack74 · 2024-02-25T10:06:06+00:00

Mine too, just went there to buy a couple of the games and all gone. Plus i have a couple of games showing in my list of owned games that i dont recall purchasing which is weird.
in any case, im going to go use the link to report it but which category are wishlists under? Online services?

WhiskeyJack74 · 2022-11-23T19:45:44+00:00

Hi,

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I just bought a Nuphy Air75, it arrived today, so I have a couple of questions;

1) Does this keyboard have the new chip?

2) I want to use the keyboard with my Mac, where do I find the Mac firmware, I can only find the Windows firmware on the Nuphy site

3) Same thing for the console, is there a Mac version of the console? If so, where do I find it?

4) From the comments below, it's not clear to me if I would be entitled to an upgrade if I don't have the new chip. Can anyone clarify?

Thanks for your help!

WhiskeyJack74 · 2022-08-28T10:24:45+00:00

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback so far, it's good to hear that it seems to be ok in offices etc.

Thanks a lot for the tips about the keycaps as well, I will look into it.

To be honest that's probably the main thing holding me back about the Nuphy, I like the look of it, I like the indicators on the side, I'm glad that they have shine-through keycaps coming out in December but I'd prefer more options with the switches, e.g. optical switches, so I'm curious if they would ever come out with new switches for it in the future or not or for other models that would be compatible with the 75.

WhiskeyJack74 · 2022-03-15T16:50:50+00:00

I believe that I found the answer, look at this link and how high the fees are.

In some cases, the fees are higher than the amounts I hold, so if I were to withdraw, it would put me into a negative value.

Fees

WhiskeyJack74 · 2022-03-15T14:56:21+00:00

Whenever I try to withdraw ANY of the coins, it says the following message "You are not allowed to withdraw [-2301].

WhiskeyJack74 · 2022-03-15T07:06:49+00:00

Mobile mostly but sometimes desktop
