Horror comedy is fun to watch from time to time.
watched death sport last night it wasn't what I was expecting but that may have been due to me mistaking it for another movie. it turned out to be pretty good I'm not really a fan of Carradine but he was good in this(though he looked like he aged 20 years from the last movie I seen him in which was only 3-4 years prior to this one)
also watched lazer blast aside from a glaringly huge plot hole and what felt like a rushed ending it was a little better than I expected it to be.
on the subject of movies, what is the deal with sci-fi there's very few movies(from the 60's-80's) that take place in space. most of what I've seen is all post apocalypse(not that all of them were bad) it's been a 20+ year obsession like super hero movies over the last 10 years.
rant over I have Alien to look forward to.
do you guys know what the last best version of dolphin that still supports older windows is?
I didn't have any trouble with v5-10943 in my limited play. You'd have to trudge around to find the latest stable for W7 if they've killed support for it.
it was within the last 3 years that the dev team announced they were dropping support for all windows version below 10.Quote:

You can also just use good old Dolphin 5.0. 7 years old now but I don't think I've ever really ran into any problems with it.
I believe compatibility has been pretty good in general for the last few years.Quote:

Windows 7 was great. Windows 10 isn't that bad, just disable all the spying stuff as much as you can. You'll also have greater access to newer software if your computer hardware supports win 10.
Doubtful there's much W10+ only stuff which would run on his current HW.Quote:

A 4770k and a GT720 (which showed up as something else in GPUZ if I remember right). With a more powerful video card there might be a handful of examples but :shrug:.
I would need more than a new gpu I also need a SSD on top of win 10 to play anything released this year(and a few older titles)Quote:

a warning for anyone that wants to watch it that has epilepsy there's a lot of flashing and strobe lights (particularly towards the end) it was even starting to hurt my eyes.
The CPU is getting long in the tooth for big titles from the last couple years. SSDs saw large price drops earlier this year.Quote:

For SATA SSDs I think it's down to Crucial and Samsung if you want DRAM (consistent performance).
I7?Quote:

Yes. It's the unlocked 4c/8t for Haswell. Not that I'd bother with OC'ing it, especially since it's been a bit touchy with stability.Quote:

Indeed, it did okay for what it is. Intel equivalents would be just as bad, likely worse on the integrated graphics performance.Quote:

You can get a 1TB SSD for not too much money.
SATA SSDs are more than NVME now as far as I know (for DRAM drives) :wacko:. Around $48 - $50 for SATA and a few bucks less for NVME. Probably give or take a few bucks depending on where you're buying.Quote:

finished the last of the dlc for dysmantle the rewards were a bit lackluster the rewards may have been more useful much earlier in the game(and some should have been part of the base game) but they just weren't useful to me. I'm not saying the dlc was bad(except for having to activate useable devices to kill one particular type of enemy) the map itself was huge almost too big for just three dedicated areas(technically 4)the only boss was a complete pushover once I activated the device I had him dead in 3-4 power hits I don't even remember getting hit.
well now I can move on to something else I'm planning on checking out metro 2033 now, I "should" be able to run it without problems but we'll see :shrug:
Resolution>=AFx16/8>Textures (>= if you have enough memory)>Shadows, lighting, other effects>Dumb post processing effects
The hierarchy :wacko:.
not much in the way of gfx adjustment options in metro. it runs well enough but still a bit slow even on low settings understandably so with all that's being rendered on screen(npcs,lights,smoke ect)
the game is proving to be harder than I expected and I basically just got started.
Got back from the hematologist.
Now I have 2 blood clots in my leg. Wtf??!!
Someone get a shotgun and blow my damn leg off please.
D:
Can you grab an extra shell to blow my head off? :wacko:Quote:

metro is really proving to be difficult and not really in a bs way either(like call of juarez the cartel god I hated that game) I managed to get through the first surface trip in moscow now I have to rescue my partner or get through a bandit controlled area
I'm not really sure. I'm also having trouble deciding whether to swap one of my current guns for the ak my revolving shot gun is the only one that doesn't have mods.
I was never a big fan of the Metro games. Tried a couple but fizzled out not too far in. Not bad at fps games but not good either. Think DL likes those games :thot:
I'm not all that good at fps games either. I almost quit playing this one. using stealth to get past the bandits was hard the game really needed a quick save feature instead of the check point system. the game is starting to have a bit of stalker feel to it.Quote:
