Gotta keep in mind that polls asking which one is best is sometimes like asking whether it is being pissed on, or shit on. I kid. Thanks for all the hard work. ?

Best is subjective as always. But I will throw in The Wild Bunch as a good western. And nobody mentioned Blazing Saddles. ? "Well, my name is Jim. But most people call me.... Jim edit: ooops someone did. "Mongo only pawn in game of life."

Is this a popular vote? Or are there XI electors?

Surprised they didnt make you plug it in and turn it on. They did that for laptops but maybe they dont anymore.

As someone with epilepsy, playing video games requires a great number of things to keep it safe. Some simply cannot be safely played unfortunately. The vid didnt say but if he was playing with that little monitor and no lights in the room its bad. He clearly had a bad partial complex seizure and he was smart to get off the computer and to the bed to be safe.

Yup a great drummer indeed. RIP.

Just be sure its the right kind of porn. I am sure there is a lot of it that you would wish you could unsee as well.

Why do people post things you cant unsee?

CD's and Steam is dead. However floppy discs are making a comeback. I recommend that.

Recommended to make backups of your player profile in case you need to reinstall in the future.

Tell that to all the ants in my place the last week. Oh and also why many fewer ants? Orkin and bait traps everywhere. Kill em all!

I am sure some have... and met untimely deaths before they could talk. The illuminati is a powerful group indeed.

Total time played compared to all other members, clan membership giving higher priorities as expected. Spectators have the lowest priority always and will be kicked. The exception being spectating clan members are not kicked unless every player in the server is also a clan member. Which happens from time to time. Persists and doesnt reset after 30 days. It *does* however reset if you delete your player profile and start from scratch the same as rank progression. There is no %100 magic bullet and after multiple attempts at different options, and many attempts at tweaking and weighting to find some kind of balance, this was found to be the most straightforward and fair approach. Doesnt matter how good or bad you are. How much or how little you score. Have a great or sucky K/D ratio. Whether you are a headless chicken run and gunner or a smores loving camper in a tent. Or whether you are a considerate and generous player or a pain in the ass player with a big mouth (no names shall be mentioned here please). And of course add to that admin/moderator decided kicks outside of auto redirects.

Nope. Who would watch a stream of a so-so player like me?

If you cant take a joke, dont make one.

A MBP for 52k? Something that you cant upgrade yourself and will likely be obsolete in 3 years? I dont think so. Other than obnoxious and self-entitled rich people who has the money for something like that? As for the idea of a high end mac gaming computer for 5k, it would only make sense if you used bootcamp since that is where the majority of the high profile games are. As it is, most developers dont bother with OSX and an expensive Apple gaming rig that few people will buy isnt going to change that. Unless they have something else up their sleeve. You never know.

Just keep swimming......

I wonder if after an upgrade you can reinstall the original win7 to a virtual disk and have both. Or is the upgrade considered the same original license. There are likely older program that dont work on win10.

I may do the free upgrade... after I back up the entire drive in case the worst happens. I just dont like the supposedly user friendly win10 interface. This user is old school I guess.

I guess if I went that route, which I may have to in order to get DX12, then daily full backups will be a must. Or at the very least, assuming auto WU can be completely shut off, to always backup first anytime any update is done. Even a small one.

That is good to hear. It will hopefully be awhile before I have to do another full system rebuild and I am always looking at cost/benefit. As for suggesting I need to check more online... one of the greatest cesspools in existence... surely you jest. Too many intel/amd fanboys. Yes that was sarcastic. ?

Have used both amd and intel processors over the years. Either would serve you well. A couple things. amd runs hot, something to keep in mind if you live in an are that gets high ambient temps. It is generally accepted that at best cpu temps will get no lower, or very little, than your ambient temperature. In video compression (bluray etc) the temp difference was noticeable. They also have heavy power consumption in comparison and over time can affect your electric bills depending on how you use your pc and how much. Not a knock on amd, just things to consider depending on your specific circumstances.

Yup, got the popup that says win7 support ending in a couple weeks. Ah well. Good while it lasted. While not the best in longevity 10 years is pretty good for an OS. For something that lasts 10 years with free support/updates it was a good investment for any software. 2009, dont even remember what I was doing then. Going to have to read up further how to disable all those added 'user friendly' things that take away control. Also all the various privacy settings.

Merry Christmas everyone!
