  1. In over three decades of dealing with Western Digital drives, I have yet to have a hard drive I have bought EVER brick itself. Even OUTSIDE warranty period. This POSSIBLY makes me an outlier. Still, I can't argue with success. Hell I even owned the original IBM "Deathstar" drive and never had it die. Even though I WAS using it 24/7. I actually owned an IBM Branded ST-412 (10MB full height 5.25" drive) and it never gave me problems (other than outgrowing it). Most of the drive failures I've had a Seagate, Quantum, and Maxtor (Seagate owns them all now), as well as Fujitsu. Seagates were never anything special in the consumer space when I was younger, but they usually weren't terrible. Up until they acquired Quantum-Maxtor. I've had brand new Q and M drives begin producing bad sectors within a week of use! They seem to have weeded out most of the utter crap in their consumer lines now. And I can attest to Seagate's Enterprise drives being ROCK EFFING SOLID. I've had an SAS controller die right out from under a 15K SAS drive from Seagate. The drive was still fine when checked. Though I just replaced it with an SSD.
  2. One note: Most of the zone music in the game is ALREADY available on various copies of the Wiki.
  3. That's a big pizza cutter!
  4. Unfortunately, with the rather extreme formatting imposed on the site, it's essentially unprintable in a non-garbaged-up format. This is pretty much true of anything more than VERY basic HTML sites. They're essentially completely non-portable.
  5. It's not MAXED. That's just a fairly tough build. THIS is as close as I've come to a "maxed" build. Granted, THAT level of toughness is bursty. Still, you come strolling out of a multi-megaton nuclear carpet bombing... Danglies flapping in the breeze... And go "I thought you said it'd be HARD!" And everyone in the city craps enough bricks to build you a God's own ****house.
  6. These are the equivalent of the current-gen Western Digital Golds. They're both Ultrastar drives. The branded Ultrastars simply have more connectivity and encryption options. Whereas the Golds are SATA only with no encryption. Have 4x10TB Golds sitting in a NAS device right now because their power draw is phenomenal on startup and can drag down a 500W system sporting a 1000W PSU.
  7. Again, there was nothing particularly special about Spines. Now, that doesn't mean all sets will have an equally easy time. It has to do with a particular set's mix of Single Target, Ranged, Targeted AoE and Point Blank AoE attacks.
  8. Simply because some tasks don't scale linearly, and are objectively "easier" doesn't mean the game is "unbalanced". One of the objectives of the game is to encourage teaming.
  9. This is not an aspect ratio thing. This is a resolution thing. The game doesn't actually render letterboxed. They're faking it with artificial black patch, top and bottom. The scene actually renders full-screen. And it varies by cut scene. Some poop out just above 1920. Some are around 2560. I'm running 6480x3840. So I always see it.
  10. It's actually not the aspect ratio. It's simply very high resolutions. The game isn't REALLY letterboxing the video. It's faking it. When they reworked the cut scenes (forgetting which Issue), they added arbitrarily long black blocks top and bottom to simulate the aspect ratio. The cut scene is still rendering full-resolution.
  11. And you went real quiet on me. You ain't thinkin' of welshing on me are ya? Dat would be most un-fore-choo-nate! 🙂
  12. Check out early She-Hulk.
  13. What do you think his reversion to Banner is? Also Okay, you've got your broken little concept. And you're clinging to it. Fine. Oh. And you're a troll to boot.
  14. Yep. Because there's NO history of characters who get stronger when they get pissed off. None! Nada! NEVER HAPPENED! And it's not like someone couldn't be FAR stronger than they let on. Then something REALLY offends them, and the gloves come off.
  15. Because of how we operate. Things like adrenaline, etc, temporarily boost performance. And afterwards, you pay for it a bit. Or are you telling me my A&P and biochem classes were taught wrong? And why can someone with a modicum of super strength NOT have a performance boost from an analogous adrenal reaction? C'mon. It's not that hard.
  16. So your gripe is that you disagree with the nomenclature. ... Okay! Moving on!
  17. Try getting REALLY pissed at someone. Enough to trigger a nice little adrenaline rush from Fight or Flight. After a good rush wears off, you feel woozy and weak as a kitten for a short period. Also, everyone's favorite Green Giant is the ur-example of the power. You're welcome to your opinions. I'm not required to agree with you though.
  18. Thinking it's a display error and is, technically, supposed to be the same thing.
  19. Sure. But the interest is about 146 digits...before the decimal point. And compounded on a semi-picosecond basis...
  20. Can you get a screenshot of the Windows tab on one of the toons where it isn't working? Also you can always adjust by command line. windowscale #WINDOWNAME# 100 or windowscale #WINDOWNAME# 1.0 Both set it to 100% So, for something like windowscale tray 1.5 This will set the size of your initial trays to 150% You can resize individual trays using tray1, tray2, tray3, etc.
  21. That'll be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.37 inf...
  22. Here's an StJ/Invuln based off my Invuln framework.
  23. Woke up around 2AM and Comcast was dinking around with the Internet... So I got PRODUCTIVE! Finally added the "push" fans on my radiator. Cleaned up the cabling some and installed the fanbus so I could run all six fans off a single fan header. And, while I was at it, I decided to shut some of the people who've been whinging about my preliminary cable routing FROM TWO YEARS AGO up and neatened up my cable routing a bit more, as I have more devices now. Project Paragon is getting close to "completion" as I can get without a new vidcard.
