Nice article/video, thanks. Ashes is really pretty game, although i could nitpick few visual deficiencies, the unit design though, is indeed neat. Supreme Commander was indeed very well done in this regard, some of its unit designs became classics - like MonkeyLord or the UEF mobile base (whatever was its name)... I would say bigger challenge than differentiate visually between factions (human, alien, whatever else) is to differentiate between the different unit types of a

[quote who="Anuben" reply="12" id="3706261"] I can't just get over that Call of duty...it's interesting! [/quote] What is interesting about that?[e digicons]:)[/e] To me, its actually interesting game in regard to its changes over past decade and how i am unable to play it successfully anymore. I mean, i was never good at it, but i in older iterations, like original Black Ops, i had my way of playing, which made me keep about 1,35 kill-death ra

[quote who="Anamatron" reply="11" id="3706238"] If you're still looking for different games to play, I could just drop a fat list of them here. From there you could prbly take a quick look at each of them and see if any pique your interest. Not sure exactly what you might find fun and interesting, but maybe you'll find something. Anyways, just let me know if you'd want said list and I'll post it. [/quote] Feel free to give some tips!

So i bought 3 big games lately, around Christmas: - Call of Duty WW2, - Forza Horizon 3 - PES 2018, and sadly, as expected, i played them nowhere near enough to justify their price. Oh well.

[quote who="lenguyentrung" reply="46" id="3705666"] OH, I must be weird. Of all the shows listed in this thread, I did not watch any of them. [/quote] Perhaps you have better ways to spend your free time? Anyway, some of the shows listed here are really great, so safe to say, you missed a lot.

[quote who="starkers" reply="47" id="3706061"] A new show I want to check out is Hard Sun, a British sci-fi thriller that looks quite promising, according to the previews I've seen. Hopefully I'll know more in the next few days. [/quote] Just checked the trailer, looks really promising, thanks for suggestion! Meanwhile, i watched Mindhunter , 2 seasons of Leftovers , Stranger Things season 2<

As a massive Sins fan i feel sad seeing money being poured into pointless legal battles over StarControl, when it could be used to more productive endeavors...like developing next Sins game. Cant shake the feeling that Sins became sort of red herring stepchild in StarDock´s portfolio - GalCiv gets constantly developed and updated, cause its historically the main title, now Ashes gets the pass, cause its a new thing, technological benchmark, spiritual successor to Total A

Nice, congrats! So no i9 then? Thought you were hellbent on high core count CPU cause of the GalCiv. Anyway, is the 8700k delidded? Are you going to try OCing it to 5 GHz and above?

There are 32inch 1440P displays, but seriously at that size, you should be looking at 4K. Apparently, BenQ 3200U is rather good all-round 4K 32inch display for relatively good price. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ycMBzHsp-s[/video] I considered it myself for quite some time, but eventually decided to go ultrawide.

Seriously now, its been 10 years, just announce the thing for the love of god, so we all have one game to look forward to again. Does not matter if at this point you have just bunch of concept arts to show, it would still be better than nothing! Thanks

[quote who="starkers" reply="76" id="3701221"] Well I got the M2 screws last week down at the local PC shop, 24 for 3 bucks. So, the M.2 SSD and RAM have been installed, and some of the cable management stuff arrived yesterday and I've made some more progress. Take a look below....

[quote who="starkers" reply="15" id="3700737"] Quoting Larsenex, reply 12 What is your storage? Are you using NVME? SSD? What sizes? From what I see, Brad is using a Samsung 960 Pro 512GB, but it doesn't say whether that's a regular SSD or a M.2 of either NGFF or NVMe format.

So, has anyone seen the new Netflix show of German origin called DARK? If not, you definitely should, especially if you like shows like say Stranger Things or 12 Monkeys, or generally science fiction, mysterious, horror stuff. I cant stress enough how awesome this one is. I usually watch lot of shows, right now in the middle of Leftovers, one episode away from concluding Manhunt:Unabomber, recently finished aforementioned Stranger Things Season 2, Travelers Season 2, Mindhunter, waiti

Good stuff, congrats. 32 GB RAM though is soooo 2016 :-D and Radeon 580? Where are 2 Titans V? :-P ...and btw, this is supposed to be first computer upgrade after 3 years? I would have sworn i have read somewhere that you bought 6950x CPU last year....

I had a chance to play a bit on Vive last October, bit of Serious Sam and then some other stuff and it certainly has lot of potential, but the resolution is in dire need of increase before that happens. I did not realize, until i tried, what people mean by that you can see pixels - now i do and honestly, its terrible, everything looks sadly like shit, jagged, blurry... when you compare it to crystal clear image of some 32 inch 4K display you or even better 38 inch ultrawide, those are far bet

If only you had some sense to actually buy rights to produce Star Trek game or simply rights to Star Trek Armada series and give us all what we want, fully fledged Sins spin-off game on your shiny Nitrous engine based in ST universe!

GTX 1080 EDIT> You can disregard my post entirely. Dont know, what was the issue, but i tried once more time, and this time no weird menu mouse movement, neither minidump at resolution change. Everything seems to be working just fine, so my apology for jumping the gun.

Today i got new monitor, ultrawide LG34UC98. Although i havent played Sins in quite a while, its still my fav game, so i was naturally curious, how would it look in Ultrawide format. Sadly it would not work. It acted weird already before i could set the resolution to 3440x1440, by which i mean cursor jumped weirdly around the screen and if i wanted to click one of the menu buttons, i needed to point with the mouse somewhere to the side, not at the button i wanted to click at all.

I was just checking out prices and the top-end 1950x is well out of my price range, starting at AUD$1400... being I have to buy a new mobo and DDR4 RAM as well. The 1920x starts around AUD$1100, and the 1900x starts at around AUD$729. Now the 1900x may be a possibility, given that it is just a $100 more than the 1800x, but I'm not
