    Forza Horizon 6

    Since I upgraded to the 5070Ti (and then had to go back to the store for an upgraded PSU) I haven't seen a single crash. I'm really enjoying it.

    Forza Horizon 6

    Just got back from the store with a 5070Ti. We gotta do what we gotta do. If this doesn't resolve the crashing my wife is going to be a tad bit upset.

    Forza Horizon 6

    I'm surprised we have so few of the old guard Forza players in this thread. Glad to see "new" blood but I was hoping we'd be able to get the old gang back together. I'm pretty frustrated so far. I have nobody to blame but myself. I'm sitting on an old 1080Ti graphics card that is still getting...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    Yeah, it was a bit of a trip when Mr. Bean stumbled into the public event I was doing. My in game name is actually Ars Basalt so there's very little chance that he didn't know who I was. I wasn't 100% sure if he was *the* Mr. Bean until I checked my steam friends list and saw him in Destiny and...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    As somebody who has recently started playing, it took me a few play sessions to find the legacy content. I thought the game consisted of going to each map, finding the blue icons with crowns on them and going through those parts of the game. I enjoyed those quests because they have a fair bit of...

    Shiny Happy Arsians Playing Eve 4: Only way to win, is not to play!

    I'd be interested in a bit of a carebear reintroduction. I just resurrected some old accounts, both upgraded to Omega and ready to go. Character names Basalt and Basaltar. My main is set up as a miner/transport guy. *edit* on an unrelated note, as somebody who's feeling overwhelmed with all the...

    World of Warcraft - Midnight

    I'm stuck on Engineering because it requires Court of Stars. There's some really funny requirements for a lot of the professions.

    No Man's Sky Exploration & Experience Thread

    One interesting thing with the resources that set off the sentinels, if you manage to raise your wanted level to 5 diamonds and then kill the AT-ST looking thing that comes after you, the sentinels will leave you alone on that planet until you leave it. You need a decent shield and upgraded...

    Whiskey Thread for all you drinkers...

    I picked up a 17 year old Hibiki when I was in Tokyo last month. I also have a bottle of 12 year Nikka and a bottle of 10 year Yoichi on the shelf. I find them all to be good, but not very adventurous. They hit all the notes but they don't really give me the feeling that I've had a unique...

    Oculus Rift

    Just a heads-up that everyone in VR world should stay safe. Don't let your significant other attack any plants. I've done similar things, luckily all sitting experiences, and it's so incredibly confusing that I can't even describe the feeling. It hurts your brain as well as your body. Woo...

    Oculus Rift

    Elite is freaking fantastic in VR. Absolutely mind blowing. I agree that you should change the HUD color to something other than the standard orange. I found light blue suited me best on my DK2. I'll be trying green again tonight. As far as control goes, if you launch Elite: Dangerous (ED)...

    Oculus Rift

    That's a perfectly reasonable response to the way Oculus has handled this. If I didn't already have my email stating that I was going to receive mine soon I probably would have pulled the plug as well. I think when Best Buy offered a way to get more units into people's hands more quickly...

    Oculus Rift

    You might have wanted to hold onto that pre-order. Oculus is allowing people with pre-orders to use that to get an Oculus from BestBuy and still enjoy the pre-order benefits. On an unrelated note, I played a fair bit of BlazeRush, some Lucky's Tale and a little Eve: Valkyrie last night. The...

    Oculus Rift

    Elite was what really sold me on VR. It was one of the first things I played on my DK2. One thing that's worth doing is changing the text color from the standard (orange if I remember correctly) to almost anything else. The orange is hard to read which makes the entire experience a little bit...

    Oculus Rift

    I just received notice that my CV1 will ship soon. That's with an order that went in 6 minutes after ordering opened. *update* - just received my tracking number. Expected delivery is tomorrow. Hopefully it was worth the wait.

    Surface Pro 4

    After the last batch of updates my i5/16GB/512 Surface Pro 4 is working exactly as I'd expect. All of the docking problems seem to have gone been resolved, my pen is now working without randomly and irrevocably switching to selection mode and multi-monitor issues are no longer a problem. I'm a...

    Surface Pro 4

    These were simple HD resolution 24" monitors. Nothing special. I'll check out Reddit.

    Surface Pro 4

    I recently picked up n SP4 i5/16/512. It's been working well with one glaring exception. I bought two displayport monitors because I'd heard that the dock didn't work well with adapters. Unfortunately the problem doesn't seem to be related to adapters at all. When I plug the computer into the...

    Oculus Rift

    Well, from my perspective, based on promises made and actual results. Which is why the most important factor to me at this point is the way they conduct their business. I don't disagree. I don't consider myself impatient. This is just one brick in the wall. Again, I agree. We'll have to...
