Who else wishes there was more semi-attractive PC cases with an 5.25" bay? I have ripped many CDs and Blurays with my optical drive

For real. Given how many of the “attractive” cases are becoming very modular/config swappable, It would be cool to see even an add-on option for them that allows changing the faceplate and mount points for a 5.24in bay. Not expecting to see all the “fish tank” cases do this, but some could make it work. Maybe ones that are wide dual chamber ones with metal plate space could have a vertical option.

Depends on the game and how the mods work. I just did a bunch of mods on Morrowwind and there was a tool for it and it was straight forward. GTA IV was super straightforward loading the mods I thought. Dolphin game mods I thought where a little funky till I spent a little time with it and was like oh this makes sense they way they are doing it and I was being a dummy not fully reading the instructions

Isn’t GTA IV a bit difficult to mod? I feel like I recall using OpenIV and having to track down the correct directories to install each part of a mod the right way

Can’t say that I’ve ever had this issue. Usually mod authors will tell you where to install them, or package the files in a folder structure such that there is no thinking involved.

So I’m just an idiot.

Sounds about right.

reseller_pledge609,

Like most things, you’re just “an idiot” until you figure it out. Like any skill, the more you practice the better you get. Just take the time to understand it better and it will start making more sense eventually.

Even then it can be difficult. A lot of mods have other dependencies that need to be installed and those dependencies and can have dependencies.

Yeah, I usually just follow the instructions, which seems to work 99% of the time. The main problem is usually if a mod still works with the latest game version.

Use Nexusmods and their Vortex mod manager. It simplifies it a lot, though you may have to watch a quick tutorial video or two. It’s nothing that you won’t learn, though.

Certain other games may have other mod loaders just for them, that you can use. KSPs CKAN comes to mind, or Curseforge for Minecraft. A lot of games handle mods through the Steam Workshop.

In the case of using mod loaders most of the stuff you will have to do yourself will be limited to keeping mods updated, resolving conflicts, and managing load orders (where applicable).

Mod Organizer 2 is typically recommended over Vortex but it depends on the game. I think Vortex has wider support.

Yes, I’ve used both on Windows 11. Unfortunately, does nothing for the User Interface size. But that’s exactly what I had to do to get the original games to run before this shameless flip.

I wonder if the Clean UI mod would help with your issue. Have you tried just adjusting your resolution though? I’ve heard 720p is the optimal resolution to avoid various bugs

I don’t understand why we let Civ get away with amputating gameplay from the end-of-lifecycle previous game to repackage as new DLC again? If they hit upon great ideas in an expansion, why is that not folded into the core product like most decent games do with sequels?

They started with a triangle for 6, slowly carved it down to a semi-smooth, functional circle, then turned around for 7 and said “how about a cube this time?” Stop reinventing the wheel and finish refining it.

Honestly, the development mirrors my playthroughs of 4Xs: start with something funky and a lil different, struggle to make it work, and then restart when I’m close to done.

Amazing. I will always be excited by FSO news. The Hardlight forums still send me my annual birthday email.

Thank you for your community service

gofsckyourself,

I definitely spent way more time on this than I should have. I had to dig out my N64 controller and take those pics myself. I knew the other image was from The Dutchy, but it took a while to find that image in particular.

Date an audiophile and you’ll never run out of quality cables. If you’re lucky, they might even agree to flog you with the Stax Lambda’s flat ribbon cable.

metaStatic,

how much was all this audio equipment? literally nothing compared to the cost of the cables to hook it all up with.

rtxn, (edited )

Never ask:

  • A man his salary
  • A woman her age
  • An audiophile how much they paid for their hoard

On second thought, ask all of those questions.

  • Secrecy is how employers get away with wage inequality.
  • “I didn’t know she was 17” does not work in a court of law.
  • An audiophile will proudly point at their favourite budget headset. I mean, the Samson SR-850 is just insane value for its price. Sure, it’s a symphony of plastics, the design is just a straight rip-off of the AKG K240, and the fixed cable is a bummer, but the frequency response and the soundstage are out of this world. Plus the impedance is only 32 ohms: it easily runs out of a smartphone.

What can I do with WiFi?

jastyty,

Nothing, drop wifi in the trashcan and cable your home.
