Someone's gotta poop on Dr Phil and his shitty network.
Same actually. I got some nice RGB customization, it was comfy, had a right handed thumb rest, and the price was right. Only thing it didn't have like the Basilisk was BT functionality, which in my use case wasn't a deal breaker. Software wasn't bloated either.
I've been using a Redragon M690 Pro as my home daily driver, and I retired my Razer Basilisk x Hyperspeed to my office, although the latter started having issues with middle clicking. The 690 is nice so far though. I don't play any twitch shooters, more of a slow burn style, so ymmv.
You just had to put Chemical Zone as the first pic... Childhood horror unlocked. That music.
It was also truly novel at the time to use a secondary cartridge to enhance the first 3 games, injecting that unique echidna traversal into each one. Were there any other games that did that?
On the upside, the trailer for Mania was a real treat when it first dropped and it also got me to love Nitro Fun and Hyper Potions. I think I'll jump back into it tomorrow 😁
Thanks, yeah I'll have to find out where we got it, but I suspect is one of those mass-produced bits that just caught on :)
Kinda reminds me of something MC Escher-ish.
Thank you, she was definitely a bright void for us. Quite the oxymoron though :P
Thank you so much. Yeah, that's a smidge of an older photo, and I can't recall where that pillow resides now, but it's definitely still around 😺
Thank you. Voids really are the awesomest. We do plan on adopting/rescuing another void kitty in the near future, but we don't want it to be too soon either. Still really weird not having her around.
This was Sweets, aka Sweets Petites From the Streets Who Eats Treats, aka Sweetie. We sent her over the rainbow bridge this past Monday, as she was in a losing battle with tongue cancer. We gave her the best life we could. It feels like the world was always stacked against her, but she was a fighter. She had the voice of an elderly smoker, and she was part of our little framily.
She will be missed. We're in the process of setting up a tiny shrine for her ashes, as well as a bit of jewelry to keep her with us at all times.
Ah, another Corridor fan I see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUa2U3Cmawo
My relationship with them was already in very thin ice due to repeated trust issues over the years, but what finally sealed it was my coming out to my dad and his response being "it's all because of this woke generation". Coming from someone who I thought had a very left leaning stance, therapy over the following years made me realize just how shitty and homophobic they really were. Turns out I'm probably more bi than gay (also ace), but it still stands.
REAL Steel. Would be amusing if they got Jackman to promote 😄
Ditto for ETS2 / ATS. I don't play them enough. With the Road Trip update coming out soon, it'll be even better. I've been craving a solid driving sim that's not racing. A leisurely drive through the Nordic landscape would be great.
Other than that, if I have the energy and wherewithal to stand, Skyrim VR, sometimes it's nice to wander without worry.
Far as I'm aware, yes. However, apparently there was a silent update very recently that added more secrets. Romero streamed it about 2 weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t3dUZbJT5k
I do love all the theories behind the MyHouse saga. Shallow breaks it down right around the time I specified earlier, and the transition theory lines up the most imho. Truly, truly a wonderful map. I really need to read House of Leaves.
I just tried hunting around for it myself, And every link does indeed go to a dead end. I did just re-watch shallowVA's four-part series and it does have a screenshot of the full obituary. I'll see if i can find a timestamp.

I wish I could love horror games, VR or not. I'm not particularly fond of jumpscares or chase/evasion sequences, but the premises always seen so engaging. Hell, I even put down Alyx because of Jeff.
The only horror I can handle is psychological / Lovecraftian, otherworldly shitshows beyond human comprehension. I think that's why the liminal space genre fits so well. The emptiness is enough horror for me, and yet inviting at the same time.
Beardo Benjo also did a UEVR test. As promising as it already is, and with 700+ mods already on the Nexus, I'd like to see the basic backbone of SkyrimVR, before I'm gonna immerse myself in Cyrodiil. VRIK, HIGGS, & PLANCK is really all I'm asking for to start lol. Also, I could easily see my R7 7700/RX 7800XT crumble at the sight of this.
EDIT: And of course I spoke too soon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKR5fQ9yDnM
EDIT 9/13/24: Forgot I never updated this. Unfortunately I ended up having the RMA the processor, which AMD promptly and smoothly replaced. I even got a spare Wraith cooler out of it :)
That said, ASRock never got back to be throughout any correspondence short of their forum moderator, who checked with the help desk but they said they couldn't find my ticket. 4 emails worth. Nary a response. Dropped ASRock going forward. I ended up with a similarly priced Gigabyte B650M board and haven't had an issue since. RAM clocked at full 6000MT/s, stability and performance on par with benchmarks, etc. Granted, I ended up spending ~$200 more than intended, but it could have all been resolved by a competent help desk team. Maybe a little bit harsh, but they had plenty of chances to find my correspondence. 2 emails and 2 tickets, with nothing to show for it. So there you have it. Bittersweet ending but at least I can play Cyberpunk 2077 with that sweet, sweet RT now.
Hey all, just recently treated myself to a new computer build after ~3 years, and I've been having nothing but trouble with USB dropouts. Had I done more research prior, I would have known about this issue that seems to have been prevalent since the AM4 days. Thing is, I've had great success with my prior build (AM4, Ryzen 7 3700x, 32GB 3600, RX 5700XT, Asrock Steel Legend mATX), so I wasn't thinking there'd be issue. Been nothing but frustration.
Specs:
Asrock PG Riptide mATXGigabyte AORUS B650M mATX mobo- Seasonic Focus GX Gold 80+ 750W
- Ryzen 7 7700 AM5 (replaced via RMA)
- G.Skill Trident Z 32GB DDR5 6000 (Samsung chips)
- Asrock RX 7800XT 16GB
- 500GB Inland Pro NVMe (OS) - 2TB Samsung NVMe - 1TB Crucial MX500 SATA - 1TB WD Blue HDD - 4TB WD Blue HDD
- Windows 11 Pro
- Thermaltake Core v21 Case
So to start it off, the USB dropouts have been... odd. They only seem to happen from a cold boot. It starts with a simple stutter where both my KB+M (wireless 2.4GHz) start lagging and stop any input, then pick back up. Then comes the audio stutter. Slowly but surely, within about 3-5 minutes, the whole system locks up. Upon having to hit the reset button on my case (as everything seizes up), everything works as if there's no issue whatsoever. Nothing in event viewer to coincide any Windows problems. Hell, I played Starfield for ~6 hours almost non-stop yesterday with nary an issue (although Akila City decided not to load in at once point).
The other thing I find rather strange is that I could not get my RAM to reach the XMP 6000 settings, but if I set it to that and then downclock to 5600, I'm stable. Standard frequency is 4800. This issue happens even at the baseline.
I've tried BIOS upgrades and downgrades, CMOS resets, tweaking the BIOS for the "known causes" of this bug (C-states, RAM timings, etc), and yet no change. I just hope this isn't coming down to an RMA of the board or whatnot. If there's anymore info I can provide, please ask.
EDIT: I can't say for sure, but moving my regular USB 2.0 devices to the USB 3 slots seem to have resolve it. I'm still wary.
EDIT 2: I unhooked all currently unneeded USB connections (including internal front USB3.0), with only my USB hub for BT and 2.4GHz dongles and my wired Xbox controller (2 ports total). I also read that one of the "solutions: back on Am4 for this bug was to turn down PCIe speeds from Auto or 4.0/5.0 to 3.0. I'm still being cautious, but right now I did a full shutdown, power cycled the PSU, and then rebooted afterward. Running RAM at 5400MHz.
EDIT 3: Changing the PCIe speeds did not change a thing. USB seized up without any input. Upon reboot I reset defaults to the BIOS, and then, a new thing happened! Seemed to hang upon retraining of the RAM. Shut down via rear power switch, and upon this reboot, Windows refused to launch anything, even Task Manager. Multiple reboots and another BIOS default later, and I'm back to functioning (at least this boot). I'm actively shopping for a new motherboard, though choices are limited. I also can't return this mobo as it's my 2nd from Micro Center, with the first Riptide having bent pins.
Recommendations on replacements welcome. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
