As a kid, I remember seeing previews of this on early OXM demo discs and in the magazine itself. I never came across the game in the used games bin, but always had an interest in playing it.

A year or so ago, looked into it as a potentially fun Steam Deck game but was steered away by disappointing Xbox reviews.

Seeing this, I now have the game wishlisted and am looking forward to picking it up on sale!

This review is what did it for me. Love the way you tied it in with your mug :)

Trump Slump?

I considered the cost of the hardware and the time I would spend getting it all configured, then collecting the content from various sources.

Ultimately decided that $189 was worth it. I already have too many WIPs and something like this has been sitting on my ToDo list for years already, this is a great shortcut

Getting out of S mode is a few clicks away though. There’s a certain kind of user who actually benefits from it, and nobody is locked in.

RT’s restrictions were primarily architecture based (ARM)

There is no better archive utility than 7-Zip IMO

Just wish there was a MacOS version

*Morrowind

During/after the recent LA fires, they spraypainted “NOT EV” on all of the ICE vehicles

In that case, they wouldn’t have found it in Control Panel anyways.

Otherwise, they would have opened Control Panel.

Settings is more accessible to casual users.

I often revisit Soldat

Curious to see how effective this is and excited to contribute to its efficacy. I own a repair business and it has taken years to develop the means to effectively cross-reference for compatibility, it takes over a year for a new tech to reliably get the swing of things.

The Darkness, Skate 3, Amped 3, Perfect Dark Zero + the remaster of the original, Crackdown, Fable II, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (1+2), Condemned 2…

Just a handful of games that I’d love to be able to revisit on Steam Deck.

This is going to be interesting

The diagnostic software environment I use to test graphics card VRAM only boots in legacy mode. TServer and Memtune are both internal AMD Tools that have leaked. So far, older boards that support Legacy / CSM have been the ideal platform as a test bench for graphics card repair.

Probably going to be quite the shakeup in the graphics card repair community’s toolkit if the updated version of Memtune for 9xxx cards ever leaks.

That’s what Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Google Workspace Starter, and Proton Mail Essentials are all priced at. Seems like the market price to me

A few things stand out to me in your screenshot.

It lists the GPU as consuming 0W, which is likely not true. Based on that, the power / current limit reason is probably inaccurate

Your temperatures are both well below TJ Max for those components, so I don’t see the Temp limit reason as valid either.

Your GPU utilization is at around 50%, but I also see your framerate at an even 144 - I would surmise that you have vsync enabled.

… second paragraph of the article:

In addition to the basic plans getting Copilot rolled in, there are now additional “Basic,” “Personal Classic,” and “Family Classic” tiers without Copilot and “other advanced features” added for users who do not use AI in their workflows

There’s a little ramp on at least one edge of the socket that lets you lift the CPU so that you can then take it out. It may even be on both sides.

Voyager is giving me an error when I try to attach a photo, but it’s visible in the thumbnail for this video

Fucking finally

The pattern looks like a GPU, more specifically a problem with VRAM.

This looks like a low to mid range HP laptop, so I question whether or not it even has dedicated graphics.

Systems with integrated graphics share RAM to use for graphics functions.

To test VRAM, one would use Nvidia MATS/MODS or AMD TServer/Memtune. They are not very accessible for the average user.

To test RAM, use Memtest86. This one is free and relatively straightforward.

This is, for the most part, a myth and not worth doing. Reflowing is not not repair.
