You'll need to Google the current process, but I have at least 8 machines running 11, and I think only two of them support 11 according to Microsoft. Should be a fairly easily solvable problem if you are comfortable installing an OS and maybe tweaking a couple of registry entries or installer files.

Looks great! The reinforcement work on the back of the soundboard looks especially impressive!

I'd love to see Darkwatch get ported to PC and remastered. Loved it on ps2 and have it working at a somewhat cranked up resolution on emulator, but a legit updated PC port would be awesome.

We do Greenlight for this, which has a management app and a debit card. It's not perfect, but it's working well for our preteen son and is pretty flexible. We can add money when he completes chores and can partition what he can spend where. It works and he's definitely gaining more of an understanding of how to manage his money.

Same - just canceled New York Times because I got sick of all the sanewashing. I'm a new Boston Globe subscriber now!

I have a shield connected to a projector through an av receiver. I love the setup for its audio visual fidelity, but I love the simplicity of operation almost as much. The shield remote turns everything on and off and handles all my streaming services + steam link flawlessly. Wonderful user experience.

Thanks! This looks kinda hilarious and awesome. Was able to find it on archive.org and grabbed a copy for my plex server : https://archive.org/details/the-humanoid

The impermanence of life, and whether the next time in the coliseum will be his last.

Definitely agree on the used idea. Ebay is full of used previous gen parts at great prices (stick with sellers with a deep history of 99% and higher feedback, avoid those with accounts less than a year old and/or single digit feedback. Avoid single digit sellers with suspiciously cheap prices for recent hardware like the plague - these are likely scammers.)

Personally, I'd avoid laptops if gaming is your primary interest. Performance does lag behind similar spec desktops, but more importantly, if something that isn't ram or a storage drive breaks on a laptop, the whole machine is probably done. Not necessarily because the whole machine is unusable, but many if not most repair parts are model specific and can cost more than the laptop did.

Desktops can be repaired and upgraded per assembly, which makes them pretty kind to your wallet if gaming on a budget. I just scored an excellent condition 1080ti for around $150, and I know with absolute certainty that very robust off lease workstations from a few generations back can be had for $200-ish or less if you know what you're looking for. Pair them with that 1080ti and you've got some decently capable hardware to play with!

I've got several gaming machines that I use to run everything from old stuff to heavily modded Skyrim VR and many new titles, and I pretty much only buy storage amd cables new. Everything else is purchased used on Ebay.

Nah, I loved that movie. Great music and a lot of fun lines here and there. Definitely not an academy award contender, but still pretty fun.

Thanks! About 5 hours into a new playthrough of BL2 with my wife, so this is awesome!
