Newegg fell off years ago. I try to avoid them
To be fair, this is more on UPS than Newegg. Their customer service has been pretty helpful. The chick I talked to is saying Newegg is going to send a new one and expedite the shipping for free. Let's see what happens.

I finally got around to playing Disco Elysium after beating God of War (which was really good, btw, and works in super ultrawide with a mod). Disco Elysium is really good. @Leasy I saw that you are playing it too on Steam. What do you think? I think it's a great RPG. On the first day, I planned to only play for an hour or so to see if I liked it, and I ended up playing for 7 hours straight...lol.

Damn don't know how I miss this tagged but it was OK. I would say it was different totally different and a game I will never play again.

I got a good ending but the personality traits and long ass dialogue was a chore especially if you didn't have a specific trait build up..

Anyone remember the length of the heads-up the Windows gave before they started charging for Windows 11? I know it was the one year anniversary, but I'm wondering if they gave a few month's notice that they would do this or not. I'm nervous about a price spike in the lead-up, so I want to be ready and save some coin.
Been using a Thinkcenter m81 for 7-8 years & wanna upgrade to a cheap refurbed pre-build w/ W11 capabilities.

I think that any stock processor for a W11-compatible computer will be better than my current one, but otherwise, the sole purpose of the upgrade is to use W11 w/o coming out of pocket for the OS.

I'm not in a rush (I don't mind this continual drop in pricing post-covid), but I don't want to wait too long and have to pay for a W11 license. I can cop a used Optiplex for the low now if need be, but I'd rather stalk prices for a few months and wait for an extreme dip.

IIRC, they made W10 paid-only after a year but they have half the adoption levels of W11 last I heard so my guess/hope is that they pull the trigger on the two-year launch anniversary perhaps 🤔

TLOU unlocks in one hour :blessed:

Nice. Wifey and I have been waiting for this.
How's it running? Steam reviews look terrible with people talking about it having horrible optimization. I already beat it on PS4, so I'll probably wait until the issues are ironed out and it's on sale.

It's a great game by the way. You're in for a treat

For some reason I can't get any fps software to show in my games. But I can tell that it's running sub 30 fps.

Today when I game my computer monitors both suddenly go black. I can still hear the game sounds in the background when it happens but at that point I'm forced to restart my PC. Anyone know what the issue could be?
