Goosing. Basically pinching an arse. Or prodding it with a finger. Used usually in either a method of joking surprise on an unaware person, or in sexist appreciation of a fine rear (note : I have been aware of both men and women getting goosed - by both men and women). Thank you, I've been wondering about that for about a decade to be honest

Tim Cain at Reboot Develop 2017 - Building a Better RPG: Seven Mistakes to Avoid
Hey Tim, I'm curious about the character creation idea with geometric figures you were talking about. What is your view on the point of locking physical and mental stats together, wich would leave one unable to create a purely physically or purely mentally focused character?

Had an xfx 5850 before this one that started artifacting two months after the warranty experied, I was a bit miffed to say the least. 3200's here are about 30$ more than 2400's, and the MB's that support 3200 ddrs cost about 20$ much more. And there is only an MSI b350 mb I can get with that support, and I don't like the MSI board I have at the moment. (It doesn't turn off power to the USB ports when I turn off my computer) That's likely not going to give me a decent boost to FPS that is worth that extra expense, I think I'll get more performance from spending that extra money on a gpu when the time comes.

Some disheartening things in there, but fun watch anyway. I don't understand his first point. They had clearly stated what skills did in the lower right corner, and I had no trouble understanding the SPECIAL stats either. Some of the skills were useless really, outdoorsman comes to mind, wich doesn't mean it's the stat sheet that is confusing, just that there are some useless skills.. It did take alot of time though to create a character the first time since you had to read through everything, wich is a huge nono in todays market when reading past the headlines of news articles is considered a bother. Bundling physical stats together and mental stats together also would limit your character build options. His idea with this would make it impossible to say, have "yucky" strength and edurance, decent agility and have a big boost to mental stats instead. He does compare to the Hulk and Spiderman, but it wouldn't apply well to say Charles Xavier from Xmen. I don't particularly like his view on player/character skill, even though I like his take on recoil and all that, but I really don't like an action RPG that plays like a straight up shooter. If you don't have a weapons trained character he shouldn't be able to make those hits no matter if you can or not. I'd rather they just skip First person and go for a top down view instead.

I tried triple screen, racing seat and all the snazz at a entertainment hall in gothenburg a couple of years ago. It was epic. Well, except that it was a one man race with 7 nutters that don't know what a wheel does. I'm hoping for Star Citizen whenever they deign grace us with a full release, by that time I will have upgraded the graphics card though, but a proper HOTAS setup will probably be out of my league. Sorry, for some reason I read 4k, don't know why. :S Problem with waiting for updates and crossfire profiles, if they're needed by that point, is that the developers might ditch them if the game doesn't run well enough at all and they have to focus on single gpu users. They probably won't put down too much effort for the 1% of their users that use dual gpu's. On memory and gaming;

I'm good with my old case, an old Corsair Carbide 400r, I don't find leds and glass windows particularly useful either, I'm looking at my screen not the computers insides! I wouldn't mind an Obsidian case though. I don't have any real need for a second machine so I'll be putting the parts back in their boxes. Going for a R1700 myself, but the scaling with superfast memories isn't worth the crazy price hike unless you're running a monster GPU. You get a small bump from going from 2133 to 2400 though for a handfull of dollars more so I'm probably getting 2x8 Kingston 2400's, a Gigabyte GA AB350 gaming. This'll cost me about 700$ wich already is going to be a strain for me. Might pick up a 580 or a Vega when it shows up though, provided it isn't crap. I favor framerate much more than I favour resolution, and I'd rather have highframerate at 1440p and High/Ultra settings than medium framerate at 4k and medium/high settings. The market that is using 4k is so small that there never really is any optimization for it and I think I'd have to use 1080's to get the performance I want at 4k. Still too soon for dual GPU's I think. Buuuut, it'd be awesome to play Dirt Rally with 3 monitors.

Well, when it comes to Vega there is this; I'm going for a b350 chipset myself, if Vega does come underpowered I'll have to go for some other card, I'm really not keen on crossfire since I doubt the games will be optimized for it.

While I'm not deaf, I'm hearing impaired so this applies to me aswell, I also shy away from games where soundscape is very important.

Though as Sonicmage pointed out, I can't sell them on, there's not much use in removing them from my account otherwise Maybe I should've said sell or give them away instead.

The reason why I hate Steam is because I don't want to lease my games, I burn my gog games to discs to save them for the future, something I can't do with Steam. Even though it might be unlikely, if Valve collapses from Gabens bingeing on their tax-forms because he felt peckish, or something else, you won't be able to play your games. I also despise the fact that I can't get rid of Steam games that I don't like or want, because they're locked to my account so selling the discs to someone is of no use.
