And for anyone worried that the move into multiplayer territory will prevent private server and modification support in “Fallout 76,” worry not: both will be in the game. Bethesda is still sorting out the details, but Howard affirmed that the game will feature those elements.

“That is something that, given the online nature of [“Fallout 76″], is going to be very, very complicated,” he said. “But we’re committed to it, and we’ve been starting to design what that system is going to look like. It’s a complicated problem, but one that we are 100% committed to solving.”

No. No it's not complicated at all. Just have PvE and PvP servers, problem solved. These clowns are trying to reinvent the wheel thinking you can allow PvP in some form by tacking on a mild punishment. Griefers do not care. They'll just keep griefing regardless.

I imagine this asinine system will be scrapped in short order and they'll simply go back to PvE/PvP servers instead. Otherwise it'll cost them a lot of sales.

Watched some of the Bills game last night. Allen looks like he'll do just fine in the NFL. Also managed to find a live stream to watch the Packers game last night. Sweet.

In the case someone is having a hard time finding NFL or NBA streams, there is a reddit that gives those out each day r\nbastreams r\nflstreams. Make sure you are using something like uBlockOrigins.

What I laugh at is people that complain about pops/malware etc... YOU HAVE TO ASSUME TO USE UBLOCK OR THE LIKE FOR SERVICES LIKE THIS. You are nuts doing an illegal livestream without them.

As for Madden 19 for some good laughs follow threads that post Madden glitches. Funny, bizarre shit, people are teleporting at an alarming rate being one of the common themes.

does the song have to be about the sin or just have it in the title? cuz i don't think U2's Pride is about the sin of pride.

as for greed, i would suggest Pink Floyd's Money

pride - any rap song from the mid 90s and 2ks. Biggie's mo' money mo' problems comes to mind.

sloth - afroman/because i got high

gluttony - drawing a blank man, sorry. note, the biblical gluttony can be metaphorical as well as about food, as in consuming far more than is healthy of anything. i suppose Because I Got High could work for that too since it's about consuming way too much weed XD

Sloth

I'm So Tired - The Beatles

The fact that they took 50 people at a station, put them in various ships, some holding like 20 and flew them to another planet for Battlefield-like combat, all without loading screens is crazy impressive technically, regardless of the latency.

But who wants to wait X minutes riding on a ship before the action even starts?

I've had this thought too. The technology and experience that they're going for - seamlessly fly from planet surface into space, then through hyper space, and back down to another planet surface, etc - sounds pretty cool in theory. And I'm sure experiencing it the first few times *would* be cool. But after that, it just takes too long and constantly delays the things you're trying to get to. Who wants to spend all that time getting to another location every time? It would get old very quickly, and would only make sense it it's optional and you can fast-travel wherever you wanted to go. At that point, why even spend years on the tech? Is it even worth it in the long run?

Window can remove windows.old with disk cleanup. There are some other "cleaner" urilities that also have that magical power like ccleaner and glary utilities.

"magical power" -> %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe ^^

Magical power: Browse to folder in file explorer, Shift-Del. Article done.

It's a special backup folder and can't be deleted by normal methods, hence the reason for the article.

What's even worse is that Microsoft automatically deletes the folder after a preset period (10 days, I think) because why would anyone ever want go roll back on day 11 to infinity. Linux is beginning to sound better every day.

Anyone buying an I9 has their head up their ass. Unless you super cool it. the chip runs hot and hot means it throttles itself. That does not even compare the extra processing that Intel requires for meltdown.

Secondly that is a comparison of a $2000 chip verses a $299 chip.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a good game that they've played with non-gamers? My GF is curious, but has never really played anything. I bought one of the Harry Potter Lego games on GoG, but put in about 20 minutes on my own to give it a test and it's one of the most dull things I've ever played.

I'm leaning towards A Wolf Among Us, but it might be too gritty, and not sure how she'll like the Quicktimey stuff, even if just making a snap decision with a controller she's unfamiliar with. I'd prefer something two player with puzzles, and maybe the Harry Potter game gets better, but man, it just felt like it lacked the need for both skill and thinking.

Motherfucker! I hate cheap people. Disco'd the PC took it outside and gave it a good cleaning. All amped to install the new SSD and...? Fuckers didn't include the mounting screws? Are you fucking kidding me? $140 HD and you can't throw in 4 tiny screws?
