That isn’t ideal. You might look into killing Ness so he doesn’t cap.

Geometry Dash will keep me up late for decades.

@Cavitycreep  
Are you’d supposed to pull that up?

I think I’ll be level 99 by the time the sword of kings drops for me in earthbound.

Been playing Remnant: From the Ashes lately, because it is currently free in the Epic Store
 
It’s really fun. It’s a Soul’s like game with Guns and an interesting Story. It also offers multiple Classes and Multiplayer. I can highly recommend giving it a shot.

@Officer Hotpants  
Yup it sure does. When we upgrade from XP to 7 it removed all of the pre-installed games they use to have on the computer.

@Jomok0  
Well, it was fun for about 15 minutes. Then the screen went green and my system restarted. And again when I started the game again. Now I’m fiddling around with game & card settings trying to get it to work.
 
And I won two or three games.

@Havoc  
It bothers me greatly that Microsoft Solitaire has been replaced by monetized “online service” garbage. But there’s tons of options out there. Though, I do wish there was a Hoyle Book of Games-style release on Steam that wasn’t an asset or engine flip; I miss the 1989 DOS “Book of Games”.

@Jomok0  
I still play solitaire.

@Officer Hotpants  
Damn that sucks lol. Hope you can play Doom 2016 soon lol, great game, a little slow and easy compared to classic Doom and Eternal but still really good.
 
Did you at least win in solitaire? I played the shit outta solitaire as a kid and never ever won

@coolmaster43232  
Ooh. Yeah, that could present some problems.
 
 
@Jomok0  
So get this. I spent the first day I had the thing letting it download Doom 2016. Left it on as I slept because the projected time was a little over a full day. It gets to about an hour or so left today… and the internet goes out. Not just for our house but throughout this entire service region. Company has no idea why. It was out for the next six or seven hours. Didn’t come back in until about two hours ago. At 12:24am.
 
I spent my first two days with my first ever gaming PC playing fucking Solitaire.

My computer doesn’t really have any installed games on it. I remember playing the Space Cadet Pinball, Solitaire, Minesweepers, and Pocket Tanks.

@Jomok0  
Old games are great.

@Jomok0  
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with playing old games. I keep copies of Might & Magic III-IV-V, Eye of the Beholder 1-3, Epic Pinball, Heretic, Tyrian 2000, and Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition with tuned DOSBox configs installed on every PC in the house “for emergencies”, and keep every old game I have that I own on Steam or GOG (or just can find the disks for in general) installed on my personal rig alongside all of my ROMs and ISOs. I play most of them rather frequently, especially Might & Magic 4+5: World of Xeen.

@Officer Hotpants  
Mostly same. I’ve got a nice mid tier pc but I mostly just play old games on it and draw with it lol.

@Officer Hotpants  
Windows 7.
 
 
@Azure Fang  
Got it.
 
Here’s the specs Windows 7 Professional  
Processor Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz  
2.00 Gigs of Ram  
ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series
 
That’s petty basic since I mainly use this computer go on the Internet.

@Azure Fang  
I know what you mean. I don’t have the heart to throw out my old system after all these years. I removed the hard drive and added it to the new system (I was NOT looking forward to spending months redownloading things) but I’m going to keep it as a backup.
 
 
@Jomok0  
Indeed. And I appreciate that the “comfortable” zone for this thing is FAR beyond where I intend to run games. I’m not planning on playing at 140fps ultra-max everything. I mean maybe older shit, sure, but I have no intention of straining my new baby.

@Officer Hotpants  
Congrats on your new computer, building your own PC is an amazing feeling. Built one myself about a year and a half ago. Love this thing, and it feels awesome to play AAA games with the highest settings on something you put together lmao.

@coolmaster43232  
If you’re using any mobern version of Windows (7 or higher) and are not on a laptop, you can pull up basic computer information quickly by hitting WIN + PAUSE (That’s the Windows Key + Pause/Break, which is located immediately above PAGE UP on most keyboards). This will give you your operating system, processor and RAM total at minimum. Once you’re on that screen you can easily get into Device Manager and open Display Adapters to get your video card.
 
For anything beyond that, (such as motherboard model, RAM brand/grade, etc.), you either need to get into BIOS, install a stat tool like CPU-Z, or have built your rig yourself and memorized your parts like a good tech nerd.
 
@Officer Hotpants  
Sometimes, reading “modern” rig stats makes me jealous being stuck with DDR3, but my i7-4790K’s been too good to me to rebuild.
 
In other news, Risk of Rain 2 hit 1.0 two days ago. Haven’t had this much fun dying constantly to my own stupidity and being frustrated as hell over cursed runs since The Binding of Isaac.

What OS are you using? Win7?

@Officer Hotpants  
I have literally have no clue where. I don’t if need look at basic system settings or in the system folder.

@coolmaster43232  
You should be able to find some of it in System.

It’s sad I have no clue when the specs on my computer is. I have had this computer possible for 15-16 years I can’t even remember what year I bought it.

@Havoc  
I didn’t pick most of the parts out myself, of course. I have near-zero experience with this kind of thing; all I knew was “pick a company and stick with it” and “make sure the processor is at least 3.5ghz & 4 cores” (I wanted to get one that was… I think it was something like 12 cores & 4+ghz base but it was just too expensive). I had a friend help me put together a shopping list about two weeks ago. The last of the parts came in two days ago.
 
Now all that remains to see is whether I’ll need to run a new power line for it. In the past, having too many things on at once on this side of the house could trip the circuit breaker and I’ve now upgraded to a system with, amongst other things, a 50% stronger power supply and a substantially beefier card. We’ll see what happens, I suppose.

@Officer Hotpants  
Oh that’s a beut.
