My day was a birthday and would've just been me hanging out at my friend's place playing some Path of Exile. Also it was discovered my friends somehow had the necessary ingredients to make oatmeal cookies, so we did so. Then I went home, ate some cake my family made me even though I basically ditched them...hmmm. Then I…

It's a regular drive-by interrogation is what it is! Well, not so much drive-by since they don't appear to have cars, but I guess them's the breaks since child-you presumably didn't have a license or the budget for such extravagances.
-
Ow. That IS pretty brutal.

Pffft. The lines are just a suggestion anyway. Mario follows his OWN rules. Except he was the one who drew the lines...so I guess he doesn't even follow those. He's too rebel for rules of any kind!

I brilliantly waited until the last minute to do my homework for the week and then got an assignment that had a question that sorta asked me to solve the subprime mortgage crisis by applying the sort of vague and mostly fluff decision making principals covered in the 2nd chapter of our book. How do you even answer…

Graphics cards are very simple. If it's PCIe (they basically all are) it'll probably work. Just plug in in, boot up, install drivers. Maybe a restart and it's more or less good. Quite possibly the easiest part in a computer to install/replace. Power supplies are also largely standardized. You generally have a 24 pin main…

Hello! Yes, I remember you! "Bearded guy who met Ryan" could be a number of us by now. Dude gets around. Jakey, or myself I'd imagine since you know the first two on his list IRL to my memory and I don't recall Hamelin being particularly bearded and you mentioned Mario separately. And one of them on his list is you. EDIT:…

Definitely. It's a better interface for sure, but it makes some of the same sins as newegg. It just gets away with it because it's less busy and they don't bloat their pages nearly as much. In any case, I might as well show some parts and thoughts about them that I had scrounged up before giving up on newegg. CPU: AMD…

Geeze Newegg seems slow as hell. I've been trying to dig up some parts for a theoretical semi-decent video editing computer and taking like 15 minutes just to pick out and check out a single product when I might be comparing dozens isn't really reasonable. I don't have literally all day to pick through parts for an example…

The upside for me is that my own school debt won't be enough to buy a jaguar. Parents are just so often doomed to pay for college debts one way or other I think. If they don't pay it straight up they often end up providing room and board while their kid pays for it.

Relevant: Cyberlink PowerDirector benchmark - with no GPU acceleration. - with GPU acceleration. With GPU acceleration, this newfangled Kaveri thing does appear pretty respectable for rendering video for a pretty decent price, but the GPU stuff mostly helps manage special effects and filters and such. The FX-8350 at around…

Haven't forgot about this, but had to fuss over school over the weekend and such. Currently reading Kaveri articles hoping to find some better benchmarks including a wider range of Intel options. And an HP laptop from 2010...I'm guessing isn't doing you favors. Well I'll check back here later. I've got some review to read…

I was hoping to be a little better off than I am, but I ended up deciding I should have more schooling. I also sort of half-way tried for game programming, but I was never really dedicated to that plan. I ended up getting into more web stuff which...isn't really what I expected, but it's close enough to keep me happy.…

I suppose I should share my full thought process here: I'm trying to figure out a base platform that will serve you best here. A video editing computer does processing on large files that take up a lot of storage and memory and it can take good advantage of both multi-core processors and gpu acceleration. The result is…
-
Cyberlink Powerdirector 11 from what I've read actually supports acceleration using AMD APUs. Pretty sure Sony Vegas Pro can too. Less sure how well Premiere does with that. Yeah, I really think my best advice is wait a week to see the final word on Kaveri. It might actually fit your needs surprisingly well. Otherwise with…
-
Fair enough. Skyrim isn't actually that hard on video cards though and can run pretty well on almost any modern card. Regardless, making the best of your budget on a video editing rig would seem to be pretty dependent on your specific software of choice. Some video editing/rendering software can leverage various GPU…
-
Hmmm. Fun challenge! My knowledge has been shifting to a more academic level for this stuff as I haven't known people on the market for PC builds as of late so I'd have to look into it. It's a tough question to answer well without knowing some specifics of what sort of games you play and/or what kind of software you use…
-
Hmmm. Kaveri is nearing release. Looking back at this thread I think I first talked about it last February and it's been on my mind for longer than that. That's how I roll I guess. Brand new product comes out for computers and in MY head it's possibly a couple years old already and when they talk initial performance…

And some days it's so blasted cold that it's even too cold for the snow. Like now. I blame Canada.
-
That's the sort of attitude that brought me to making the things in the first place. Oh. Right, links would probably help I guess. Comic is here. Remixes here.
-
There's just not quite enough contrast in the fur to get the full effect I think. It lacks a certain shine. Still, I think it looks pretty good.
-
...Still waiting for HP to release a version of the Omni 10 with enough drive space to not be useless. Also they really ought to give some support to that thing. It could be a very nice device, but has no recognition from their site even for the exiting version. No drivers even. Not sure what I expected. This sort of thing…
-
A PhD does sound like an awesome thing. Though that just makes me miss remixing except not because I've secretly moved on to remixing a different comic, but feel awkward about it since it feels more proper to post them in THAT comic's forum instead of here. Well I guess if anyone here felt like reading a comic called…

Gotta love it when a plan comes together? I hear that no energy thing. School alone is draining for me, if I had to add a job and a kid/significant other to the list...I'm not sure how people do that.
-
I finished my school for the quarter and find the Christmas update hit for Terraria. So naturally I HAD to play that some. It's time to break out my paladin hammer and smash my way to a possible nifty treasure. I needs me my Rudolph mount. I must know how that works. For SCIENCE! Also I'm impatiently waiting for tAPI to…

A thread where we reminisce about the "old days" and talk about crazy antics we all got up to back in the day? Now we done gown up and got boring like we had ALL of the fun and it's gone now.
-
Am I supposed to be posting in those threads every night, because I routinely don't go to bed before 2am?

Feelings don't give a fuck. They're all "But if life was THAT bad there'd be justification for feeling so miserable!" and just like that your misery has company. In the form of jealousy.
-
The link at the end didn't work. It might be a good idea to put links from the video in the description as well. That said, football just ain't my game. I have no idea what the rules of football even are which makes it about as exciting as watching paint dry to me sadly. But you appear to enjoy it.

Starbound is eating at the edges of my mind. I will end up buying it eventually.
