I love MCC, but I don’t like competitive FPS games at all. I’m in it exclusively for the campaign, and occasionally custom games. That said: playing any FPS with a controller is an incredibly frustrating experience. I know what I want to happen, but my hands can’t make it happen.

Yeah! I really like the combat in KotOR. It’s like a normal turn based CRPG, but faster.

I’ve never really understood the comparisons between Destiny 2 and Borderlands, honestly. I like both but my brain puts them in very different boxes. Same thing with Warframe.

I like them, personally, and there’s absolutely nothing else that scratches the “I want to play Borderlands” itch. The quality varies a lot by the game, though.

Well that’s extremely neat.

Yep, almost entirely!

I used to love this game! At this point I honestly remember very little- mostly the commands some servers had to play audio clips. First place I heard Interior Crocodile Alligator. There was another that was just someone shouting “Butt pirates!”

Oddly enough, I remember basically none of the actual game. I might have to try it again!

A ton of them apparently come from regional pricing, or from keys purchased by businesses. Windows offers volume licensing where you can buy bulk keys at a steep discount, basically. The business might not use all of them, and then they turn around and resell them. That’s technically against the terms of the license, but afaik Microsoft has never bothered to enforce that.

I’ve also heard people will take the Windows keys off of older OEM towers and resell them. I have no idea how true that is, but it would also be against their terms.

It’s not exactly likely, but Microsoft could probably just deactivate all of those keys at once if they decided to.

I got the notification for this earlier, first time a Fredrik Knudsen video has been something I actually have some prior knowledge of so I was very interested.

Man, did I miss a ton of drama apparently.

Seems like an odd choice to @ him instead of just directly replying.

That’s weird- I played BF6 with friends I would expect would have Valorant installed. Nobody had any issues. Maybe they uninstalled at some point. I don’t exactly keep up with everyone’s library.

I think I’ve done like three playthroughs, two I finished. It branches a lot with the dialogue and everything, there’s a lot of room for replay value considering it’s a relatively linear action RPG.

And it’s an absolutely fantastic game, too.

Personally I usually just clean it with a paper towel, and put it away. Mine is almost exclusively a cornbread pan, though, so I’m mostly cleaning excess oil unless I fucked up and it stuck.

Occasionally I do give it a proper wash like you’ve said, but not very often.

Nope. At least, not that I’ve seen even slightly recently. I got into PCs ~15 years ago, and they were already becoming a lot less common then. It probably still exists in some niche way, that’s usually how it goes. Maybe HP still uses them or something like that.

Sorry if any of this is stuff you already know: The beep is a POST code- power on self test. That beep when you turn on the computer is basically the computer saying, “everything started correctly, from here on it’s probably a software problem.”

If there is a problem and your motherboard can figure out what it is- bad cpu, bad ram, no video, etc- it gives a POST code via the little speaker. It’s a nice troubleshooting tool, because a lot of the time the hardest part of the fix is figuring out what part is the problem.

And the wire leading to the thing that goes ‘beep’ when you turn on cpu was broken.

I haven’t seen a PC that would actually have audible post codes in a very long time. Nowadays it’s usually LEDs, or a very simple little display.

Is Scrivener online storage? I don’t think it is, but I don’t use it so I can’t be sure.

Grakata!

idk, maybe the hospital has insurance for idiocy. But the people that broke it almost certainly can’t afford an MRI machine, so they ain’t paying.

In my limited experience, they’re pretty up front with it even when they’re not wearing a fursuit or furry merch.
