So... It's never harmless?

3562 - Yes I am.

Pretty much. No captcha for me. Cloudflare knows better than to ask if I'm a bot.

I'm not sure what you mean by "hw, the original from 1999"... Do you mean Birth of the Federation? If you do, the mod is very much in line with that game, and even includes a grid arrangement galaxy generation that basically gives you BotF, just including far more content. It also includes events from newer Trek series, and the tech progression is even more diverse than the vanilla game.

TBF, as bad as it was, it's still surprisingly good for what the game is.

I notice cloudflare authenticating, does that count?

Dishonor on you, and your house.

Looks like.

Just get one of the many skybox replacement mods... This game has tons of mods available for it. (I'm using a Star Trek total conversion right now, and it's extremely fun)

tem

Conan Exiles with Isle of Siptah, The Imperial East Pack, The Riddle of Steel, Blood and Sand Pack, and the Debaucheries of Derketo Pack. Sid Meier's Civilization VI, with all DLCs. Jurassic World Evolution: Premium Edition. ("premium edition" just means all DLCs) Stellaris. (I have it on Steam, but I bought a copy on GOG for my brother)

Well, it was marketed towards the new consoles, and towards being playable on old consoles without having to buy a second copy when getting a new console... But it was most heavily marketed towards PC.

Same way they do with tickets for sports... Limit resale price to no more than $1 + service charges over the MSRP. If exceeding that price, it's illegal. I'd say to get a better CPU before trying to upgrade the GPU. The CPU will be the more limiting item in that build. An RX 580 8GB is able to run virtually everything at medium settings with playable framerates. Frequency is a big plus, but only because it allows a higher frequency form the Infinity Fabric without decoupling it from the RAM frequency. If you want to increase the RAM speed above 3200, you're gonna need a new CPU. If you want it to exceed 3600, you're gonna need at least a B550 motherboard and a Ryzen 5000 CPU. (I'd wait for the lower priced ones to come out in a few months) Apart from the Infinity Fabric effects, latency is the next most important part of RAM performance. The 16-16-16-36 timing numbers after the speed are part of what determines that, and lower are always better. If it's already decent timings, then using 4 sticks instead of just two will almost always perform better than "faster" RAM. Anything over 120Hz is effectively negligible for anything except ultra-competitive e-sports "gaming". I'm using a 165Hz monitor right now, and I can not see any difference between 165Hz, 144Hz, and 120Hz in the vast majority of games. Apart from that, a nice build.

3560 - Looking forward to this year...

Right on my dude! TPBM still has far fewer posts than me.

Of course he was. It's illogical for him to do so, so he naturally would. Same as the rest of us.

Things I have to hate, just to keep this place from becoming a toxic cesspool of fanbois of non-Ross content. My hate keeps us safe. My hate is life.

Star Trek Online. I did some dailies.

The shortage will happen until they either outlaw scalping, or until they produce more cards than the scalpers can buy. I'm personally for them outdooing the scalpers and forcing all of them to have wasted money by scalping, and have it be illegal, rather than neither because people are paying a scalper to make this problem permanent.

Is this going to be another one of those things I have to hate to get people to stop spamming it everywhere now?

Welcome back my dude.

I just remembered, effectively no replayability IME. Not even any real mods...

I thought that was corporate mono/oligopolies and corruption, not radicalism...

When they feel like it... Please don't. It's hard enough to get them now, and every dollar you give to a scalper will make it even harder for everyone in the future. (even you)

That was my reaction as well.
