I remember being surprised that I liked the first film as much as I did. Not that it was awesome, but it was sorta cute in places and a bit less of that certain humor style I dislike than I thought it have. I never really watched the show (maybe saw a few episodes), but I remember when it was a thing ... all the ads, all the Depp swooning. But the first one was enough. Not interested in a 2nd movie.

The only mechanics which bother me are the ones I don't like. ...of which there are likely many, but most of the time I can't remember specifics very well, if I wanted to put them in a list, since I usually don't play (or think about) games that have them, for very long. So I just end up with "I didn't like that game." Yeah...I'm that simple.

The third time may sometimes be the charm, but I get the feeling it may not be in this case. Since you stated no replies are needed this time around, this need not remain open...please do not repost this same topic yet again.

Yeah...it's just a curse of my super-finickiness. One day I may have the energy to actually move to Linux. One day.

Far as I'm concerned ... no. I keep most games with a forced fps 60 cap, after having one game where mega-high fps = overheating GPU. More than 60 does, of course, give you more "cushion" in case you do run into some fps spiking, so some may like higher for that reason alone. That said, I've heard if your monitor is 120hz that it can make a difference. I do not have a 120 monitor so can't confirm or deny.

Metro is not the only reason I dislike it. If you/others like 8, that's great. I just don't. And yes I've tried it...on hubby's pc's and my recent laptop. P.S. - I'm still not a huge fan of Win7, either. Haha.

That's how he feels 24/7 regardless. I joke about the sports car but I think it's likely apnea sleep deprivation. Like living on 2 hr. sleep a day, only for decades. When he was young it wasn't bad - took him hours to "wake up" in the morning but hobbies and new experiences/goals kept him moving/motivated. By his 40's mental/physical energy slid drastically as more and more he feels like he never "wakes up." Hobbies slowed/stopped, TV increased, etc. which makes it worse. And yes, I'm sure he finds it depressing. It is a little better in summer vs. winter (cold/long nights don't help). Hubby is part Vulcan - he'd just calmly lift an eyebrow and ignore you. He's not into sports or most gym routine type stuff (just likes hiking, or swimming, mostly) but has always wanted a good rowing machine. We don't really have room for one...they're usually so big now (the water ones are cool, tho). He thinks about building one himself, so it could be smaller, but that requires energy/motivation. >.> Maybe I can figure out how to make room, somewhere.

I did see some on Amazon, but then user reviews were claiming when received, the keys didn't work/it wasn't legal. Hence..."iffy" to go that route since you don't know who is really trustworthy on something like Amazon. OEM Win7 Pro is what I'm using now, hence my question. ... I should have bought a few copies a bit later or something, but I didn't. Sorry, I hate it. I just have to hope Win10/whatever is at least slightly more tolerable to my picky self.

Oh. For some reason I thought XP32 could get close to 4, it just couldn't go over 4. I've seen people posting playing unity indies on XP, but yeah, can't speak for percentage's of stability on such.

PoE may still run on his/her rig, but how good actual performance may be is pretty up in the air I think. 3GB for an XP system always seems odd to me, but I tend to use even numbers of RAM. Can you still find RAM that would work in your motherboard/system so you could have 4 instead of just 3?

I don't want to make a new thread just to ask this, so... ...can you still buy Windows 7 from Microsoft? When I go to their page I just see 8.1 stuff. ...I know you can try to get it from other places but trusting whether what they send you is a new/legal copy seems rather iffy. Sigh. I may have to use Win10 or whatever when I build the new rig.

I don't have an answer, but I can give information that when I run the current beta, on my 64-bit Win7 system the .exe by itself likes to use about 1.6-2GB of system RAM. Up and down a bit depend on area/what you're doing and all that. That could, of course, not be what your rig ends up using, doing the same thing, since it's a different O/S/config etc, and I don't know what the final/full game will be like vs. beta.

I like the unit graphics in that one. Wish I still had the patience for that sort of RTS.

Yeah, the WTF series can be entertaining. One of the few where I may watch the whole video, vs. just click-skimming. Although if it's long, I still probably won't watch it all. I do miss magazines. I can read a ton faster than people can time/speak through their videos. Some YT reviewers need to learn how to be a bit more succinct. If you want to babble a whole industry thesis around something you like/don't like in one game, don't call it a review.

Dear hubby: I love you but if you complain one more time about how you're tired/hate getting old etc but then do nothing but sit in the recliner watching 8 hours of TV a day, I'm going to stop listening. Just buy that sports car already, k? K. Today I went for my walk, raked the back lawn, made some noodle stir-fry (real noodles, not top ramen), tussled with a spastic cat whose new thing in life seems to be claw-climbing the back of the couch like he's rock-climbing Mt. Everest, cleaned the house, and generally tried to keep my mind busy. Now time for a couple hours of video game, then some zz's. Which is the best part of the day. The zz's that is, not the video game.

For some reason, I thought this was going to be a member meet and greet thread for playing games or maybe even IRL. I should have known better. ...and if anyone robs Bieber, I'm more than willing to take a little of redistributed wealth. So I can build my dream cat shelter. Yeah, that's it.

Might still be usable if one has very limited hand mobility. The simple push motion and needing nothing else was why my dad could even play the Atari. But you'd have to make some other kind of adjustments as well now, because of gameplay/control changes over the ancient games. I'm guessing.

I was mostly talking about their appearance (Bok's are pretty fancy looking to my eyes), although the ones in your link do retain the same general shape as the NES one we had ages ago, and a couple hubby bought when he wanted something for a pc game once. I've never been a joystick person tho. I mostly just remember the Atari one.

Joysticks have come a long way, baby.

It's not all that clever or complicated (or original w/time travel) and instead it's mostly an exercise in obfuscation. It's not a film tactic I'm generally fond of, if used in excess. This doesn't make it a bad movie nor do I blame the film for taking that direction. They were trying something different. But the film itself isn't very entertaining as a film, imo, outside of the "wtf" and PoV discussions it may inspire afterwards as to "what really happened" and "what it means." eg, it's a mind**** movie. If you think it's brilliant in this regard, you're going to like it. If you don't, it's just meh. Btw, I'm not claiming I understood everything 1st-view. I am not so smart, especially since I don't always understand the jargon such fiction is based on. My husband understood (he's my personal-explainer during some movies) and he spent a lot of the movie frowning. He tends to react to too much tech-jargon similar to the way I react to something like the bio-science explanations in ST:TNG episode "Genesis." Sometimes you should let the fiction aspect just be fiction and stop trying to make it sound like real/proven science.

Seen it already. I wasn't impressed.

The bottom screenie just reminded me of a shot from Dead State I guess.

Bokishi, you're such a tease. Keyrock, is that Dead State?

If you get a dog, Woldan, I demand lots of gorgeous scenery photos with a dog's curious nose sticking up in the foreground.

Predestination. (haven't read the story) Hm. Mixed feelings. On the one hand, nice that it's not just an action flick. On the other hand, I did figure out the "omg" moment long before the moment and it's yet another "it's a paradox that really shouldn't be possible" type of time travel thingies. Not to mention you can see all kinds of possible solutions other than the one they seem to put forward. So...yes, I liked it, but sometimes I wish they'd go back to making time travel about Back to the Future or Terminator vs. trying to be so smart they end up not seeming that smart after all. Where the latter tends to work better on the page than in a movie.
