  • Heh… I started building in the late-90’s with a custom 486-sx. Went from that to a Pentium 100, then to an AMD-K6-II at 233, then to another AMD I forget… then to an i5-2500K in 2011. That build hit the sweet spot, and with just graphics card, memory and drive upgrades stayed roughly the same until I bought this -7-10700K last year… that’s now got 4Tb of nVME and 8tb of SSD, no spinning rust, and a 3070. I would like to upgrade the graphics card as I’ve got 2x 4K monitors and gaming is a bit sluggish at times on 4K, but… I just can’t justify the upgrade price to a graphics card that could improve. So, I’ll wait another gen, and probably get either a 4080 when the 5x series is out, or wait until the 5x series 5070-eqivalent is at a reasonable price. Other than increasing storage, I don’t see any other demands for CPU or GPU coming this console generation…






  • I’m cautiously optimistic, but not preordering because, well… because.

    A bit perplexed where the hollow where the lake of the watcher has gone in that image, unless it’s another door into the mountain - though as it’s got the iconic, “Mellon” door, I somehow doubt it. Still, it’s clearly years onwards, so maybe it’s all been filled in and worked on.

    Fingers crossed, I really want a new LotR game that’s good, and this looks like it could be one. Maybe a touch of Ancient Domains of Mystery in with it?






  • And this is happening on the BETA channel. If you’re running beta, and you expect no issues, you’re an idiot. If you’re running beta, and you’re unable to investigate those issues and resolve them (Which, as you’ve such a clear, lucid understanding of what’s going on you clearly are able to), then you’re an idiot. If you’ve enabled developer options without understanding tech, and how to fix things yourself, you’re an idiot.

    There’s no protecting against idiots, they’re on their own.

    The vast majority of people will not see this issue because you have to go out of your way to see this bug.
