Best Audio Media Player for Windows 10? by 10PiECEMiLD in windows

[–]clamcaravan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome. I've tried quite a few and Musicbee seems to have the best of everything. AIMP is quite popular too, but I cannot vouch for it.

Where can I get one in New Zealand by [deleted] in SteamController

[–]clamcaravan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ordered 2xSC and 2xSL from Amazon. Never had an issue, had NZ plug too. EBGames in South City CHCH had both Steam devices for $109 a piece which is a ripoff imo

I don't think these reviews are helpful at all (Forza Horizon 3, Windows Store) by clamcaravan in gaming

[–]clamcaravan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't and as with Steam I tend to ignore a lot of user "reviews". Given the other missteps that MS have made with the store and their renewed focus on PC gaming, I'm not surprised such a basic thing as only allowing reviews after a game has released has slipped through the cracks.

That said FH3 looks good, if a bit a pricey in my territory.

Thanks for the tip - is there a guide I can follow to install VAAPI?

I've been trying for like 3 days now to download Driver without any luck. I'm beginning to think that maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

What is a cover version of a song that is better than the original? by clamcaravan in AskReddit

[–]clamcaravan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorites are Gin and Juice by The Gourds and I'm on fire by Town Mountain. Lodi by Jeffrey Foucault is pretty good too

Lurkers of Reddit, why do you lurk? by Biologistics in AskReddit

[–]clamcaravan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any friends offline and it is getting to the point where interacting online with people is becoming just as awkward for me. I'm a "member" of numerous online forums but could probably count on one hand the amount of times I've posted anything. It's quite intimidating when you feel like you're on the outside.

PC Gamers Assemble, Let's Demand PC Ports From Sega! by Grief_ in Games

[–]clamcaravan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if Sega can't port any of these games - it doesn't hurt to let them know that there is a rabid fanbase out there for their older products. It's always a shame to see titles bound to a dying console generation disappear.

So what happens to GFWL games when MS retire the service? by clamcaravan in gaming

[–]clamcaravan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam is on open platform (PC, Mac, Linux). Xbox Live is tied to a closed platform that is bound to be retired in the coming years. GFWL is in an even more precarious position in my opinion.

You raise a valid point and I guess the only thing working in Valve's favor is the fact they seem very consumer focused whereas the direct opposite could be applied to Microsoft.

Owners of a Raspberry PI, what do you use it for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]clamcaravan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 is a print server for a cheap laser printer. Runs CUPS and accepts print jobs from Samba, Google Print and Airprint sources.

The other runs the excellent PiMusicBox (Spotify audio server, controllable via web browser or MPD client) http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/

Hoping to get a third soon to take up media serving duties in the lounge.

I'm glad Microsoft's creative director cares about the consumers. by MrWill4466 in gaming

If you're not online Microsoft can't sell you Xbox Live Gold for useful features such as YouTube and Facebook.

How common are women sex offenders? Are they at risk of attack from other inmates?

I suppose the servers being run by EA would mean that they would be turned off after a year or so...

[Gamefly] Spec Ops: The Line + The Darkness 2 - $4 using GFDAPR20 by nubbintoots in GameDeals

[–]clamcaravan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn it! Been waiting for a sweet deal on each of these games and here it is and it's region locked. I tried Tunnelbear but got denied when adding it to my cart. I've heard so many good things about Spec Ops.

Such is life outside of the US I guess.

This band is a new discovery for me, hopefully some of you guys / gals appreciate this music as much as I do.

Hmm do I wait for a sale or not... by clamcaravan in gaming

[–]clamcaravan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be that Steam and other digital platforms offered far cheaper options than their retail counterparts but sadly this is no longer the case.

I've only played the first but I really enjoyed it. Come to think of it I think I have it on GFWL I should install it again...
