    PCSPECIALIST Death Stranding

    I'm currently playing this having got it free on epic. I'm probably about half to two thirds of the way through and i'm really enjoying it. It is very cutscene heavy at the start (and i'm guseeing will be again at the end) but that eases off when you reach episode three and can start picking...

    PCSPECIALIST Meandering towards a new PC

    Yeah, it would be great but it's back to the magpie/dad debate. I'm going to pencil it in for 2025, when I finish Starfield!.

    PCSPECIALIST Meandering towards a new PC

    To be honest, the VR is a bit of an outlier on the requirements.

    Thanks Scott. I've reduced the primary drive and upped the cooler as recommended.

    PCSPECIALIST Meandering towards a new PC

    Yeah, that's fair. It's the age old battle between my magpie brain and my thrifty dad brain.

    PCSPECIALIST Meandering towards a new PC

    Thanks for getting back tio me. The only thing i saw that gave me pause with the motherboard was that the X670's have more PCIe 5 capacity with both an expansion slot and M2 port, which i thought might come into play over the next few years if upgrading. With the motherboard being the hardest...

    PCSPECIALIST Meandering towards a new PC

    Hi there, Long time lurker, occasional poster.I'm a big fan of the forum so i hope i don't make any schoolboy errors. The PC is my signature has done me great service over the last 6 years but the old girl's getting increasingly creaky and quirky in her behaviours. My feeling is that it's time...

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    I'm very excited for this. It's directed by Ben Wheatley too (Kill List, Sightseers, A Field in England to name a few of his movies) so it should be a lot of fun.

    PCSPECIALIST Anyone into XCOM style games?

    Yeah, if i didn't have gamepass i might be waiting on Lamplighters too. That said, my hundreds of hours in Battletech means my overall value for money ratio from paradox is pretty good.

    PCSPECIALIST Anyone into XCOM style games?

    Oh yes, love a turns based strategy. Nothing has ever beat the thrill of having my whole team repeatedly wiped out in the first mission in the original xcom back in the nineties. Happy days. JA 3 is on my radar when it gets a bit cheaper. Also looking forward to this (which is also on gamepass...

    PCSPECIALIST Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm playing through post 1.5, having stopped after the initial release was a bit too buggy. I'm having an absolute blast running at 1440 with pretty high settings with a 1080ti/8700k. I don't know exact fps but it looks and plays great now on my system without any issues at all.

    PCSPECIALIST Spyder’s Vinyl Showcase (With Added Toe)

    I'm not a vinyl guy but if you like a chill soundscape, and don't have it, this is a beauty. It also give proceeds to a mental health charity for extra good vibes and comes with a download code for all 29 tracks and a mix by Coldcut/Mixmaster Morris.

    PCSPECIALIST Aaarggghhh (my desktop won't switch on)

    It's fixed!!! Double checked the wiring,and booted up without luck but a swift uninstalling of the usb drivers and a restart and she's firing on all cylinders. Now i know how Scottie felt in Star Trek. Thanks to everyone who has helped me through this difficult time.

    I will check out the wiring first then. Thanks. FIngers crossed.

    PCSPECIALIST Aaarggghhh (my desktop won't switch on)

    So, just in case this helps anyone else, an IT guy at work suggested resetting the CMOS. I did this following instructions from Asus and my PC now starts up. However, the USB ports (front and rear) are dead so i'm having to connect my mouse and keyboard through the usbc using a multi adapter...

    PCSPECIALIST We’re One Step Closer to the T-1000

    This is how they get us. The AI's have just been waiting for a decent physical form before launching their attack and this is way better than wobbly dogs. I, for one, welcome our new roboslug overlords.
