General Discussion / Re: Binge-Watching Shows - 202...
Last post by targetrasp - April 16, 2024, 03:30:34 PMX-men 97 has gone a long way in repairing some of my confidence in Disney's ability to progress beloved IPs. Going back and watching the 90s x-men series was great fun, except for the last little bit, the animation really fell off a cliff. Yay for budget cutting!

CDG Game Night / Meetings / Clan / Tourneys / Re: Diablo IV Season of Blood,...
Last post by targetrasp - April 16, 2024, 03:25:35 PMI leaned hard into Diablo 4 early and have a several leveled characters, but I've not been able to jump back in. The end game got really repetitive, and the first two seasons did little to impress.
Is anyone still playing this, and if so how's the end game now? I'd love to jump in again if there's reason.

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Odd Bios Issue
Last post by targetrasp - April 16, 2024, 03:11:40 PMI ended up putting the 5800x in my computer and giving my 3000 series to the daughter. Even with the bios update I couldn't get it to work on her board. There were some posts online where some people were able to get it to work on the asrock board and others couldn't. I'm guessing Creepin is on to something, and this specific board may have been an earlier run, where the newer revisions were capable, and the older ones couldn't do it. Complete speculation, not worth spending any more time on it!
It seems like small gains at best. I don't notice a difference in the daily operation. I can play the newest Warhammer and Starfield now without turning the graphics down to toaster but it feels like AM4 is getting log in the tooth.

General Discussion / Re: Happy Birthday targetrasp
Last post by targetrasp - April 16, 2024, 02:50:54 PMThanks guys!
No spoils this year and work got in the way of any real revelry. I did spend the day before pre-hangover / post dehydration drinking and playing a ton of online sports games with some friends I went to UNCA with. It was reminiscent. Work wasn't horrible either, I got to talk to the guitarist and bassist from First to Eleven in the hotel lobby at 2am. They'd just played in Charlotte and were on the way to Iowa.

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Getting my hands dirty wit...
Last post by retro junkie - April 11, 2024, 10:31:37 AMhmmmm.............
I took it apart and fixed it this morning.
I unplugged the battery and then hooked up the AC adapter, turned it on. Evidently something was hung in the boot up.
But this does not change my opinion in my previous post.

Last post by retro junkie - April 10, 2024, 05:56:24 PMBIG update on my ASUS Chromebook. The screen went out, black screen. Nothing works that I found online concerning the issue. Being that it is refurbished there was only a 90 day warranty. But wait I took out the 2 year warranty that was offered. Talked with them on the phone today (allstate). They sent me the label, paperwork, to my email. I printed it all out and was packing everything up, filling out the paperwork to be included. Whoa....back the bus up. The information that needed to be included, passwords, ID, PIN, to get into my Chromebook, everything needed that would open it up. My wheels started churning in my head. Surely these people are good people, trust worthy, full of integrity. Yeah, right. I know this Chromebook cost me $99. But giving everybody that handles this access to everything just doesn't set right with me. (especially access to my email and Chrome has saved some of my critical stuff.) Nothing may happen, but I do not want to take that chance. Which causes me to draw a conclusion, that Chromebooks may be okay, but if there is some sort of failure, it might be the best route, to just, accept the loss and move on. If this was just something used on the side with an unimportant email account I would not think much about it. But I was using this to be my banking, bill paying, notebook.
I am on the little Lenovo Chromebook at this moment, Wife did not like it, likes her 2009 macbook pro. I have lost nothing because I used a 256g micro sd as my hard drive saving everything.
I am really thinking that a LINUX laptop might be the best thing for what I am wanting to do online that needs a lot of security and would be safe.

General Discussion / Re: Bad Batch Season 3
Last post by Grindspine - April 04, 2024, 04:49:20 PMThe last three episodes of The Clone Wars were epic and intense. Filoni allowed the team to experiment with some more ambient music. That music experimentation has followed through to the Bad Batch, making each episode very intense and moody. Along with the amazingly detailed animation and relatable characters, this show is pure win.
This does not feel like a "kid's show" at all. The writing and overall tone is more akin to Andor's heavy-handed view of The Empire than the rest of the Star Wars franchise.

General Discussion / Bad Batch Season 3
Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 02, 2024, 05:27:55 PMBad Batch Season 3 has kicked off on Disney+. This is probably one of my favorite series... absolutely phenomenal and this season does not disappoint.
Who has been watching this? What are your thoughts?
Thoughts, comments... post it up?
I've been under a pretty heavy workload lately... sorry I haven't been around as much. Trying to break that habit!
