    Linking 2 buildings - Best options?

    I had considered the CAT6 as an option, but due to the layout of the house / router location, it's going to be a lot of drilling / ugly wiring to get CAT6 anywhere from the inside of the house to the outside. Perhaps with 20/20 hindsight i'd have put this in during the build process, but was...

    Linking 2 buildings - Best options?

    So I have a bit of an uncommon situation and I'm after a bit of advice. I've recently converted an old stone outbuilding into an office for the Mrs, which is all working fine except for the internet provision, which is being a bit hopeless at the moment. Our internet gets an amazing 8-10Mb/s...

    And not just the playerbase.... The doo-doo really hit the fan yesterday when LittleWhiteMouse quit the Community Contributors program! Aaaaaand now they're sinking faster than Beatty's battlecruisers at Jutland.... iChase, Flambass, Mr__Gibbins, ChaosmachineGR, and JINGLES have all...

    Help me find a suitable HTPC case?

    So a couple of years back my old HTPC case's PSU packed up, and as it was a custom one for the slim case I ended up chucking the case because there wasn't a replacement PSU available. I'm now wanting to stick the old components (currently in a mini-tower case) into a new HTPC case, but I'm a...

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    I'm not so sure. They've already said that they were working on the game 'storyline' development at the same time as the game engine was being developed. It sounds exactly like they've had separate teams developing 100 different parts of the game at the same time, expecting to be able to meld...

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    Left my PC on overnight to download the 'patch'. 66% completed. I'm really starting to regret getting this on GOG, I wanted to be kinder towards CDPR but it may be the last time I bother if that's the quality they're offering from their delivery system.

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    Oh, great. So on the official forums, the patch is a couple of MB at most. GOG has decided my patch... is a 58GB download. On my 1.4MB/s line. Joy. :(

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    No, because there was FAR too much hype. That aside, if they'd actually been developing it since the beginning of this thread, rather than apparently mid-2016, we might have had a Cyberpunk 2077 in Night City with an improved police / crime system based on the best of what other games do, GTA...

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    I've got a purple 'Comrade's Hammer' that has a base damage of about 2,300 per single shot, haven't tried a critical headshot to see how much it does.... suffice to say, I could probably hunt planets with it! :D But it's too OP - I'd rather roll around giving the enemy a bit of a fighting...

    Has anyone else picked up Johnny Silverhand's pistol for their V? Must admit, it comes far too late in the game... but man, I gotta have that gun!

    Is Skyrim worth playing or is there better now?

    Skrim is absolutely fabulous in my opinion, and even if a bit dated by today's standards, I still absolutely love it. I take a break from time to time, but still keep coming back. The skill tree-changing mod Ordinator has breathed a big lease of life into the game for me, and I find it a...

    Cyberpunk 2077 fault and fixes (no spoilers)

    So here's what I've found that has been *mostly* successful in removing the majority of CTD crashes from Cyberpunk. 1) Download and unpack Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). Reboot into safe mode, and run it, remove all traces of existing Nvidia drivers. Reboot, and install the latest...

    :D Must admit, I did laugh. Looks like my 'physical' copy is going to turn up in the post tomorrow. With my epic 5.5GB / hour connection, this should be playable by... Saturday.

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    *cries in peasant* Yep, right here. Also rocking that sweet, sweet 3930k, only what... 7 generations out of date now? 2021 could be the year of the monster upgrade. Full new system with NVME SSD for main stuff, and keep the older 250/500 SSD's for less demanding games. Can't go back...

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    It'll be to do with how the game engine 'packages' its' files. If they update something, it'll mean that file becomes a new file, so seeing as they're patching lots of things pre-release, most of the files will need to be replaced. Sad for those on lousy net connections, but developers...

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    I've decided that I quite like the few goodies that came with a physical version, so I've gone and ordered that. Making me have a bit of a sad seeing these people posting mega internet stats, seeing as my fibre line tops out at 1.6MB/s, so pre-loading is kinda pointless for me anyway by the...

    I may have accidentally my whole pile of coal.... But, taking her out for a quick, cautious spin, in a mixed T9-10 battle... This thing is a MONSTER! :D No regrets.

    My wallet isn't going to thank me for this.... I game at 1440p, and everything until now has been perfectly fine performance-wise. I suspect RTX may take a gigantic dump all over my GPU... but.... I wants the shiny... :(

    A wise choice. Possibly the 'best' way to build her is to maximise survivability, but honestly... build for secondaries. 11.3km range, and it's like having an Atlanta strapped to either side of your battleship. I'd recommend taking fire prevention as a 4 point skill, and either Basics of...
