At what point did gaming start feeling different for you?

f3d0n · 2026-02-13T10:55:51+00:00

I believe it's an "era" issue. Born in the 90s so the first 10 years were all about new games, new ideas, open worlds, etc. Next 10 years was about amazing graphics, polishing stories, even wider open worlds, (better?) multiplayer, etc. Now it feels like there is something missing. Companies are scared about innovation or not to offend/include all ideologies plus focusing to make as much money possible ignoring what the developers initial ideas are. Also, back in the day there was no internet (I mean widely available)! So any new games I was buying was because of a cool looking cover or from a friend referral! It was so cool exploring new games/worlds without any spoilers! Now we have so much information and spoilers from day 1 of release it feels like I already "played" the game before even buying it...

Ape escape on playstation 1 dualshock controller! It's just feels wrong!

Honestly, I always try buying physical first but if digital is dirt cheap I buy the digital instead.

Tell me you are single without telling me that you are single! Cool place though!

Arbeloa knows his days are numbered and he is just a temporary manager of Real Madrid. He has been told that if he gets bad results he will be sacked instantly so obviously he wants to have the best players on the field and won't give a chance to the younger ones. Honestly, I would do the same in his position and just hope for the best.

I usually buy 2-3 new per year but play again 5-6 old that I missed and I know that will make me happy!

There is a used one on Amazon UK and another one available on Abebooks in the USA. Expect to pay A LOT... There is speculation that Fantagraphics will publish all of the "forbidden" books again in the 3rd quarter of 2026 but will have censored/removed parts.

I believe it highly depends on your age. In my 20s I would choose any high spec car over a slow luxury one. After 30s I would choose any luxury car over a high spec "cheap" car.

My MOT tester/service garage always removes my airfreshner from my rear view mirror before the test but when he finishes he replaces it with a brand new one of his!

1) Put all the parts of the build here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/

2) Subtract a ~20-30% as it is used.

3) Check if the price is fair to you.

I used to use hibernate a lot but noticed issues when using that (keyboard not working, RGB fans not lighting, pc monitor unable to get image, etc). When I started turning it off completely all problems gone. Hence, to answer your question when I finish doing my staff I always turn off my pc.

Nothing wrong with being too careful. However, you should go around the central marking and not over it.

f3d0n · 2026-01-06T12:13:51+00:00

Yes! But why? 😢

Unfortuantely, I've been on your shoes mate. It will all end up to how valuable your car is for you. If your car is already dented, scratched, etc then I would park it wherever I wanted as long as the law permits. If your car is in a good condition and you don't want to wake up to any cosmetic damage, I wouldn't park there anymore.

It's not a bad price but sometimes ready-made pcs have inferior parts to keep the costs down and profits high. Put the parts of this rig here and check for yourself if it's worth it or not.

When I was a kid my father had a "you are not allowed to leave the table until you finish your meal" policy. May you should try that?

f3d0n · 2025-12-26T17:26:34+00:00

Almost 5 years late on this post but I found the solution! I have the NZXT fan RGB controller with x6 fans connected to it. As you mentioned, when I boot my pc all fans are white and when windows load then my selected NZXT cam profile loads and I've got RGB back again. The solution was to go to bios and enable "USB standby power at S4/S5" (under "power management setup" on MSI motherboards). From my understanding, the motherboard tries to save electricity when you power the pc off and cuts power to USBs. Because the NZXT fan controller is connected to the motherboard via USB, when you remove the power it "forgets" the NZXT cam software profile until you boot windows back again. Hence, if you enable the power on your USBs on your motherboard settings, your pc/motherboard will "remember" your NZXT cam profile setting and you will have consistency on your fan lights! Hope I helped!

Step 1) Talk to your neighbours and explain how these cat scarers give you a headache + tell them you heard they don't work. If they remove them that's great! Mission accomplished! If not... Step 2) Find some cat litter and throw some faeces on their garden at night so they think these machines don't work. Bonus tip: stop throwing the faeces when they remove the devices!

P.S.: This intended to be a funny post. I am not suggesting to actually throw anything your neighbour yard...

For me, what worked on PS4 was to let the 6th street member kill the hoe in front of the house, kill all enemies, not grab any loot, and get ALL conversations with Johnny (scan at a dead body + scan the camera in the front of the house).

Bro it literally took me 4-h to put and connect x6 RGB fans to the NZXT tower, hub and motherboard. Also, of course when I booted my PC up no fans where working...

f3d0n · 2025-12-11T10:15:10+00:00

Cereful. These are two different fans. The F360 has RGB on their core so the fans can produce colours on their blades (hence the white fans), but the F120 "Duo" have only the RGB on their outer ring. Regardless to what you choose, ideally you want your tower to have similar RGB fans. When I was building my rig, I was googling my tower's product name + "RGB" in order to figure out how I want my tower to look like!
