Here here! *raises mug*

I have contemplated this a well. If someone could find me a pc for ~1200-1300 that can run everything on ultra i'd love them long time.

That's e z p z.

The only thing I'm trying to build right now is a bike. Sort of. I got one with a bunch of things wrong with it - I already fixed a tube and the front rim (still missing an air nozzle cap), but it's missing one side of the front brake (whose cables are also way loose), and the gears keep slipping. =<

I considered building a bike once, but couldn't justify the cost for the amount that I actually use my bike.

(you're goddamn right I just put an AMD GPU in there, Hydrohs)

If I was dead I would be rolling in my grave.

that's what i said but no one listened

Honestly, as long as my machine can play Saints Row IV at a frame rate above (snail) fps, then I'm pretty sure it will last for years. I'm pretty sure most of what I do is play SNES games and stuff I need DOSbox for, then approximately .4 of a big-budget modern game per year (estimated given how good I am at completing games).

edit: To be fair, having a newer, more powerful machine might get me to actually play newer games once in a while. My Steam library has a fair number of relatively modern games that I think I've never played because I think they would run poorly on my current machine.

(Performance will probably never be able to save Worms Revolution or Saints Row 2 from the "not actually gonna bother trying to play this anymore since I disliked them enough the first try" pile, though)

You might be surpised on what your computer can run.

My computer doesn't even have a dedicated graphics card* and can run Left 4 Dead 2. (Not that I would ever wabt to play that game, but it was free so why not pick it up.)

*your results may vary, but the point is a lot of modern-ish games aren't as intensive as you would think.

what did you expect :B

just get a sufficiently powerful pci-e wifi card

this seems like the better and safer option

the alternative is throwing a GTX 770 in there, and that's an even dumber idea

I learned that lesson months ago.


Here is an extremely respectable defense of feminism, the sort I would present to someone arguing against the 'official' contemporary movement's assortment of claims and expect them to find agreeable. It's also entertainingly written.

I don't know that I'd burn down our debate forum given the... recalcitrance?... of some of its members. To be fair, a critical individual engaging with feminist arguments through the internet today is going to be introduced to much that does not resemble the above. And to be blunt, the above is not particularly well-represented here in our debate forum.

I just read that article and loved it, even though I pretty much viewed fundamental feminism in this way, which is why I consider myself a feminism even though I don't necessarily promote it.

Now, about this feminism thread...I'm very tempted to check it out.


P.S. I decided to go with Avast! so let's hope I don't get viruses. I think the ads stopped showing up, too, so crossing my fingers.

I think the last word I'd use for the debate forum is "critical" but anywho

Depends on what meaning you apply to critical. It's in critical condition.

 

[Peter Quill]

Nice one. Five stars from me. (Y)

i wish i could poz that

 

[Hydrohs]

Maybe some day.

I just like how you could make a checklist of the feminism thread for "Feminism isn't needed" posts.

 

[flamebeam]

I just went to the Debate forums for the first time ever in my life. I read the rules even though I don't have any intentions of posting. Now which thread should I laugh look at first?

i wish i could poz that

Not that I really care, but is reputation coming back or is this hiatus indefinite?
