I took the time to replace my modern computer's three case fans (mix of Fractal and Arctic Cooling fans) with Noctua NF-P12 Redux fans last night, and even running at near 100% all I hear is a pleasant *whoosh* sound. It's the sort of upgrade that has a big quality of life improvement compared to …

I just finished playing a couple of rounds of Unreal Tournament 99 with the EAX 2.0 enhancements that Creative released way back in 2000. With headphones on, the position and reverb effects were pretty immersive, and I felt that the positional effects were on par with A3D 2.0. Using this mod that …

My most rare piece of hardware that I am aware of is probably either my Rage Fury MAXX graphics card, or my ASRock 939 Dual SATA II motherboard. Both are kind of weird, were only relevant for a short period of time, and were probably recycled pretty quickly once they were replaced. I haven't …

Glad to hear that it's working for you! A word of warning, though; TIE Fighter is going to have to use FM synth sound with your SB16 if you play it, since the way iMUSE works with simultaneous digital sound just does NOT play well with the SB16 or AWE implementation of a General MIDI controller. …

Back during my undergrad in the early 2000s, I used to fix computers for pocket money. Any system I came across that had Windows ME on it was usually a recipe for pain, but not necessarily because of the OS itself; instead, it was a symptom of the PC being used by a family that had zero concept of …

The specifics would very likely depend on the genre, but, in general terms ( warning, very long post incoming ): i appreciated it, very good points rounding out what makes a game compelling to play and play again Duke Nukem 3D -- out of the famous 90s FPS titles, I'll pick this over Doom , simply …

I'd like to have a space combat game set in the Halo universe during the Covenant War. Something similar to that sequence that we got in Halo: Reach, but with its own single-player narrative. Make a team versus team multiplayer mode too, and it will likely be a great time!

I'm a couple of weeks late, but a sale on a X670E motherboard got me to pull the trigger early on an upgrade from my trusty X470/5800X/32 GB DDR4-3200 setup to the following build: MSI X670E Gaming Plus motherboard AMD Ryzen 9900X Teamgroup T-FORCE Vulcan 32 GB DDR5-6000 (chose it because it was on …
