Eh, considering what you can do Client Side, it really doesn't matter. 😛

That's a Whole different discussion 😛

IIRC, it was a combination of specific costume and the pure white color choice (with pure white skin tone chosen). There was a time when there were alts running around in ALL white for a while too in an effort to go as Natural as they could get away with.

I mean, for someone with alt names like "Perma-THO" and "Cyphilis Centurion"....

Oh so tempting, but I doubt I could build the Inf for what I'd want to do. 😛

Keep in mind that the files mentioned for layout are great if you use the same for each character, but if you're like me and do things like change the colors when on a different 'side', then you'll end up needing to segregate those files. Checkout my migration link for information on the files and where they're at.

I imagine that Ventura is likely the Last OS to run on Intel TBH as the 2019 model Intel Macs were the last (?) produced and Apple has this thing about only supporting 3 generations of OS anyway.

Yeah, if you'd had walked in during the second act, then you'd be completely confused as to what you're watching. Even so much as to think it was a different show all together.

I guess we're using spoilers in replies...?

So That's why they replaced Barney with CGI...

Death to all of you heathens! 😛 >.<

This image needs to be burned and never shown again. The person who did the above needs to be sent into a blackhole so that they too can be turned into that image.

I've legit walked uphill, both ways, in snow/rain/wind, to school growing up. ... Oh wait, not that kinda thread. 😮

Didn't realize we now had 2FA for the forums (which also protect our game accounts.

Gonna drop this here as he even goes over basic, yet important information across several dozen boards: And before I forget, here's what appears to be an active chart for motherboards in general!

In reality, gaming is basically done for PC. The games that I Do have for PC could probably run on half a potato inside of a VM three nests deep as they're mostly pre-y2k~CoX era and rarely played. So I guess that swings things towards the 7950x (or whatever comes next) and the joys of trying to untangle the Motherboard choices. On that front, I'd likely be switching to Seagate 530s for the boot and app drives along with probably one more for a scratch drive (mirroring what I have right now). So long as they don't share the ports, I'd probably be ok with just a 6 SATA port board, but 8 would still be nice if I don't lose something else feature wise. I noticed some of the board do weird bandwidth sharing across different buses. PCIe Gen5x16...2 would be nice, but so long as the other slots aren't halving the primary, then I guess it wouldn't matter, but I'd need at least one more slot for the Wifi 6e card I nabbed. IDK what kind of ports I'd need otherwise, but Thunderbolt 4 would be cool as well as some USB-C ports for future proofing. It tried playing on newegg, but it was getting kinda messy. I did find that I'd need to get a new CPU cooler though as the one I have won't work beyond AM4 according to the listings I've read. I'll just get another 212 (newer version) for that I guess. Not gonna think about ram until the board is decided on. The PSU is going strong, so I'm not sure I'd need to swap that unless there's some weird requirement from the board. It IS a 1kw unit, so it's not like I should have power capacity issues.

Re-poking the dragon on this one again. Now that the X3Ds are out (probably not actually considering based on everything I've seen) and both platforms have had some time under their belt, I'm wondering what we think about a 13th Gen vs 7000 series with the same concepts in mind? I just went back and watched / read some RL reviews and it seems like it's kind of a tightrope really. The most I might be doing in the future (that I can see at this point) is toying with VMs, finishing the AV project with the help of software that may use AI driven design, and honestly not much else. Right now, my 2019 MBP is handling my VM fix just fine and I'm not really messing with it beyond archiving OS ISOs as they come (MacOS, Windows, etc). I don't plan on getting a new case, nor am I looking into watercooling. The more I look at builds though, the thought of throwing the old parts into a (new) storage server comes to mind, but at the same time, I don't really need one and practically speaking, don't have the space for something that big. Let alone the added power consumption. So it may be best just to cleanup and sell of the parts Post upgrade. Hell, I've got the boxes to everything. 😛 Realistically though, I could probably keep going with my 3770k setup for a while longer (at least until Win10 loses support), and my Actual usage barely pushes the current system as it is. Even after adding the new 120Hz TV/display into the equation, my GTX 970 only saw a mild bump in usage to ~25% in vRAM vs the previous ~5%. At nearly idle (save a couple Edge tabs), the system itself is only using ~6 Gb of system RAM. The CPU is showing its age though as more and more I see all core spikes in usage (I love my metric gadgets!) while simply browsing or watching youtube. Gaming is basically dead on the PC itself as console is just that much less painful for my hands (probably less power draw too). The more I look at my usage now and how it may even keep dropping in the future, reality seems to make me rethink how much I want to overbuild. >.< Either way, I like my builds to last 10+ years and I've had good luck so far with self-built (community designed) systems, so I really do often ignore the total build price as it's a long-term investment (while getting deals at the time). I just wish my mobile devices held out that long.

Heh, double-necro :p. I have the game too, but I only really played it to give friends the ones I capture. I guess that was never a feature, so I put the app away.

Oh, you mean these things? I didn't know Elgato made them, but I guess it makes sense as they make things like my Analog2Digital converter. Blurry-eyed reading this seems like you're looking for auto-login solution. IDK what you'd use, but Perhaps a series of scripts that can do things like select the active fields on the screen (and then fill them out) would be what you're looking for. Way beyond what I've ever tried to tinker with, but that's the logic of what I think I'm reading.

Yeah, I think this would be the intent of the ask and certainly a good idea if possible to implement.

Which is one reason I've been holding back this gen TBH.

What're your thoughts on the 7950X so far? Or is it too early to speculate?

Just make sure that power connector is good and tight on that 40! No bends, etc.
