I mean it depends, it's on a game by game basis. Do I need to play any of the Batman games again? Nah. But I'm sure there are 360/PS3 games I missed. Although I was 1000% more actively gaming back then, 20 years ago.

Thanks for the 2033 Redux. I tried to play 2033 at some point, but for reasons I don't remember it didn't grab me.

I got the first Everspace on some free giveaway but haven't played it

Yup I did that too. Easy 800 to 1000 bump I did have an old ATI card that I bios flashed like 20+ years ago.... 8000 or 8500 maybe? It worked but when it got hot/overworked I got checkerboard pattern on the screen. I had to ziptie a spare 80mm case fan to it to keep it cool

my wife used my PC last night to make a shipping label and she hates it :LOL:

@Grimlakin You are right!!! I cannot believe what a difference the wrist rest made. I've never bothered with one before, but with this thing being so sensitive it really made a difference! My speed is picking back up.

So I have decided I hate the volume scroll wheel. It's way too sensitive and too easy to accidentally touch it and max it out blowing my speakers off my desk. Did that this morning, sending the wife running in here to ask WTF I was doing. BUT ... I found this. "Quiet On The Set"...

I'm trying out the k55 wrist rest bc I already have it and I'm a cheap bastard. I don't need no freakin' magnets! :) Seriously though if I feel like it makes a difference I guess I will look into the ebay route as well

I had no idea MicroProse still existed. I seem to recall a bunch of C64 strategy games.

I think the general idea is no saves, if you die you start over from step 1. Basically a PITA. I have a love/hate affair for Hades.... the music, artwork, gameplay is so good. But the boss battles SUCK. I have never completed it, even on the easiest setting after more than 100 runs. Not...

I'm not sure I love this thing yet. It is very cool looking. I'll have to give it more time to see if I can get used to it, but for now I am having to type pretty slowly instead of banging away like I am used to. One thing I don't love are the F and J home key bumps.... they are barely there...

I got it, looks brand new. Going to take a bit to get used to the key spacing I guess. My typing is all over the place with this new keyboard, all kinds of mistakes if I am not going slow and careful. Also the keys seem SUPER sensitive which probably has something to do with that. If these...

Pulled the trigger. + 15 for shipping and tax, but still less than half a new one. I don't typically use wrist rests, not using on the k55... if I need one maybe that will fit the k70, they are physically pretty similar.

nice find I may grab one. Have a K55 (which is membrane) and some of the keys are sticking. I have taken it apart and cleaned it but still hitching on some keys. K70 being mechanical shouldn't have these type of issues I assume.

I just saw an article today about 0patch (0patch.com), apparently a 3rd party company that does security/vulnerability patching for older windows, even back to win 7. They offer free patching of zero day exploits right now, after MS sunsets win 10 in Oct it will cost $28 a year. This is the...
