  1. Fallout Players Surge on Steam as Amazon Series Reveals Phone Number That Viewers Can Call for an Important Date

    I've tried a couple times, but I just haven't caught on to the Fallout series. I don't know why. I've enjoyed the Elder Scrolls games from as far back as the old DOS days and Arena. Maybe it's different with swords and spells vs. a shooter. IDK ...

  2. DiskMantler Can Destroy an HDD in 8 Seconds with Shock, Harmonics, and Vibration

  3. Todd Howard on Potential Starfield and Elder Scrolls Shows: “I’ll Probably Say No”

    I don't know if Skyrim would be a good movie in and of itself, but more broadly The Elder Scrolls depicting the confluence and history of each of the race-origin lands interspersed with requisite Daedric meddling ... that might be a show. But it would need a compelling, all-encompassing, and...

  7. Amazon Has Reportedly Obtained Permission to Use Parts of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion and Peter Jackson Could Be Adapting It to Film

    That's my recollection as well. But it does explain the history and state of Middle Earth during the Hobbit and LOTR trilogy (kind of). For example, explanation of who or what are Gandalf and Saruman (and other wizards that did not appear - or if only mentioned in passing - in the trilogy)...

  8. Lara Croft Voted Most Iconic Video Game Character of All Time, Besting Mario, Pac-Man, and More

    Duke Nukem didn't make the list, huh?

    Yet another single J.R.R. Tolkien book stretched out into a trilogy?

  10. Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers in the Coming Week

    Every social media platform that derives revenue from targeted advertisements or that uses an algorithm to feed articles (and thus advertisement revenue) devolves into an echo chamber. It isn't unique to Discord. My commentary was more on the state of social media than it was regarding Discord...

  11. Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers in the Coming Week

    Will there ever be a social media platform that DOESN'T devolve into an echo chamber? Not as long as advertising is the primary revenue.

    It's not their renown customer service if they needed to be badgered into providing this outcome. That's Samsung's standard customer service, not EVGA's renown customer service.

  13. PO’ed: Definitive Edition 3DO Boomer Shooter Announced by Nightdive Studios for Steam and GOG

    This is the result of under-funding and mismanaging public education.

  18. Core i9-14900KS Runs So Hot, Intel Is Allowing Delidded Systems from Select PC Makers with Full Warranty

    This smells like marketing spin. Are the CPUs really delidded by the System Integrators, or is Intel selling chips without lids to special customers? Seems the latter would be more economical and have less risk of damaging the chip during the wholesale delidding process.

  19. stupid huge 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 240hz monitor on "sale" for $1800

    Could you do me a favor and relay the actual chord width (i.e., side to side across the curve)? Is it really 52+ inches wide? Spec sheet says this: I was looking at one of these lately, but I'm not sure if it will fit the monitor space within the hutch that sits on top of my computer desk...

  20. Running your own local AI.

    Not necessarily, and yes. I use computers to help me make decisions; I program the logic routines so I know what goes on inside the black box (or use software from proven, reliable sources).
