https://www.pcgamer.com/riven-the-sequel-to-myst-is-getting-a-remake/ I was into the original off and on for years after it was released about 25 years ago. With its node to node point & click walking. The proposed full freedom of navigation with some free roaming has got me hooked. Not that...

So the car incident apparently wasn't directly from the twister. Their car was hit by a big rig as they were returning from the tornado yesterday. Thought I'd be up front about that as soon as possible after the thread title so as to not falsely raise your hopes. It's not clear, however, if the...

It hasn't been very active for years. But I was wondering if anyone remembers playing those maps back in the day 2002-2006 or after like Insurgent Camp, Radio Tower, Mountain Pass and Bridge. https://www.pcgamer.com/americas-army-is-finally-closing-for-good/#comment-jump

Reports about this kind of tech isn't new including AMD's interest in it, but apparently this patent is. Wasn't sure if this should go in a AMD tech or news forum but teleportation is of general interest in popular science and entertainment...

Just wondered. Not a big deal. Curious why they left this forum like Clockwork and such. They still post in other R3D forums. Not really talking about the ones who left all of R3D permanently.

Meaning the cinematography. I think it may be sup par to the shows and films before the pandemic. For example the full feature film Coastal Elites looks a bit like Skype quality although that's intentional to some degree or a large degree. So maybe that's not the best example. But I'm afraid...

They're still on the forums but seems like some long time posters have simply left the gaming forum or whatever forum in favor of other forums here. Not a big deal, just noticed it or think I noticed it.

Like Chisel By Numbers for example. Most of us have heard about Paint By Numbers where you apply paint on the numbers to make a painting. Wonder if someone could invent it for chiseling sculptures from blocks of stone. Could have involvement of computer programmer types. It could work by having...

If anyone notices temporary blurred vision or other vision issues with ray tracing. There are reports of those problems we've read about from HDR like articles on sites such as CNET. But I can't find anything about it as a result of just having ray tracing on in games. Not sure if my slightly...

So I'm wondering how much people should put into savings and CD accounts if they own stocks in order to prepare for a crash in the thread title. Say someone has $10 million usd in the stock market, because it's an easy figure to work with for percentages and nice round amounts. Do they convert...

Nothing new but I finally decided to gripe about it because it's frustrating. I think most of us have seen attention getting news story headlines which often appear to the side or at the bottom of the main page of your favorite internet news site. But after you click it you get a page scroll...

May be a trifling thing but it's bugging me. I wonder if the days and nights last longer in games if you have a low FPS? Like in stutter territory low say around 20 fps. Is it common logic that time slows down as the fps goes down in games that have a time cycle for day & nights? Say in an...

I think I may like that idea, like say when in the menus or even during the game of Witcher 3 or Dishonored 2 I could chat with other players from all over the world. I don't think that would classify Witcher 3 as a type of online multiplayer game. Just a live chat window in the game. Wondered...

The story came out today about this portable healing kit that works on some animals to heal severed arteries and even the brain. FDA approval for humans may happen in as little as a year from now. It sounds way way far out there, so I picked the most major news outlet I could find other than...

Wondered if anyone else searches the web just about every day or very frequently for a patch or user mod for a specific feature that's unlikely to be released for a game. But you're still hoping for the chance it will. For me I'm hoping for a first person view (FPV) mod or official update for...
