The Vita sells itself.

LOL

 

[derExperte]

So... For some reason, my Win 7 key stopped working/Got banned a few weeks ago after reinstalling Win7. Its an OEM key that i bought in a shady computer store years ago, probably has something to do with that.

Now, since i wanted to upgrade to WinX this weekend, where can i get a cheap Win 7 Home Premium key?

I have a Win7 Pro key that I don't need anymore, no idea if that would work though. Add me on Steam if you want to try.

I like my Vita as much as any regular SteamGaffer, but I strongly disagree on the battery life being "fantastic". It's actually worse than my N3DS, which is also quite bad.

Man I miss the battery life of GBA and DS

The New Vita has slightly better battery life and much improved standby.

True story, I dug out my GBA brick from its pouch the other day and messed around on Advance Wars 2 for about 30 minutes on batteries that have long since passed the 2011 expire date.

This little thing is amazing.

SteamGAF, halp!

I put my new 970 into mobo, put up 8 pin PCI-Express power cord (in correct orientation).
Booting the computer, both CPU and GPU fans spin, but it hangs on the BIOS screen.
Switched back to 750 TI, no problem - so I didn't fry anything, luckily.

The card is getting juice from PSU, since the fans spin.
Question - is it getting enough juice? I have 430W PSU, which should be enough to drive the card (according to Gigabyte 400W minimum when coupled with i7).
Or is this a mobo issue? Should I try upgrading BIOS, or would new PSU be a better choice here?

Gigabyte B75M-D3V mobo, Gigabyte 970 MiniITX, Corsair CX430M.
Tried both the PSU 8-pin connecter and the one supplied with the card (2 molex->8 pin), no dice.
Tried unplugging two HDDs, no dice.

Anyone have some idea?

I don't have an idea specific to your problem, but I want to add a +1 to eventually upgrading your PSU. Even if, as the link derExperte posted shows, you'd only need maybe 300W at full load, that would put a fair amount of stress on your 430W PSU having to run that close to capacity for extended periods. A PSU at 600W or higher would handle the same load with much less effort, meaning it runs cooler and quieter and ultimately lives a lot longer.

I wonder if Waterfox and Cyberfox devs have said anything regarding extension signing. I can't imagine they will keep it enabled in their builds.

Alternately, I guess I could install dev edition of Firefox when the config tweak stops working in release and beta channels.

Also RE2Remake yay.
I hope they do it right.

That's a lot more than Sony can say.

 

[D3RANG3D]

Playism is having a Doujin game sale too.

 

[Eila]

For some reason I thought humble weekly was today. Oh well.
And where the heck do they find games for those groupees bundles? I keep pre-ordering them for the rare gem you get every 10 bundles, but damn it hurts when there's nothing there, not even trading cards.

 

[Leafhopper]

Disgusting

There is nothing wrong with Chorme if you know how to use it and turn off the stuff you don't like. That said people should use whatever browser they feel comfortable with and I tried em all!

Just like redheads. -___-;

Hey let's chillax okay~

A PSU at 600W or higher would handle the same load with much less effort, meaning it runs cooler and quieter and ultimately lives a lot longer.

If you go too high you move out of the optimal operation range and efficiency goes down the drain. Using a PSU with much more than 500W in a single GPU (from the 970 category) system is a waste of money all around and basically means you fell prey to their marketing. Also even in demanding games your GPU often doesn't get to max power draw for longer periods of time. Most important though is to put some cash into the PSU and don't buy cheap crap. I'll take quality 500W > not so great 700W every day.

There is nothing wrong with Chorme if you know how to use it and turn off the stuff you don't like. That said people should use whatever browser they feel comfortable with and I tried em all!

As someone coming from the old Opera I want certain features and no matter how many add-ons I tried I never could get Chrome even close to where I wanted it to be. FF isn't perfect by any means but it feels much more flexible and adaptable.

Amazon are willing to refund my monitor

Anyone got any suggestions for good monitors? I'm looking at 27" 2560x1440 resolution, that's what my last one was.

For reference this is my current now defective monitor:

This be the Vita thread now? Good.
P4DAN is pretty damn fun. This was my first Brilliant result in Free Mode

Now I've managed to get Brilliant on all free mode songs (last one was difficult even on easy QQ). Managing to do better will be hard though, considering I'm playing on Easy and having some problems still.

 

[Sch1sm]

The Vita is a mistake.
Chrome is a mistake.
Your library is probably a financial mistake, too.


Good afternoon, SteamGAF.

This be the Vita thread now? Good.

Makes sense that the Vita community thread is as thriving as the Vita and must piggyback off larger threads to survive, like Nick-at-Nite to Nickelodeon but with an even greater emphasis on old content.

Resident Evil 2 Remake officially in development, Capcom confirms

It's happening.

Neat, but I hope Capcom looks elsewhere for a game to remaster after Resident Evil 2...

Spoiler

 

[Hektor]

Just buy a Win10 key.

But wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a Home Prem key and upgrade from there? Thats at least what the site you linked is telling me.

I have a Win7 Pro key that I don't need anymore, no idea if that would work though. Add me on Steam if you want to try.

Thank you for the offer, but google tells me that that wouldnt work.

Man I miss the battery life of GBA and DS

Is your Vita one of the earlier 2012/2013 OLED models?
Cuz that's the one I have and its battery is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than my 3DS XL's
I've had my Vita since the year the handheld was released and I've had unused for weeks and it still had the battery at near full if a game wasn't running. If i just put my 3DS to 'sleep mode' it runs out of battery in 2 days time XP

i like my vita

I love my OLED too, I just wish I had enough space for all the games I have for it =_=

Whelp, I just got a free copy of Batman AK with the Pre-Order bonus from a random, generous Steam user. Hopefully the patch drops soon. Going to download it and play around with it tonight though to see how it performs on my system.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

On another note, I believe that Resident Evil 2 will be the first Hideki Kamiya-directed game on Steam.

But wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a Home Prem key and upgrade from there? Thats at least what the site you linked is telling me.

Microsoft's Win10 upgrade page states:

Yes, free! This upgrade offer is for a full version of Windows 10, not a trial. 3 GB download required; standard data rates apply. To take advantage of this free offer, you must upgrade to Windows 10 within one year of availability. Once you have upgraded, you have Windows 10 for free on that device.

I imagine that should you replace your motherboard after the free upgrade offer has expired, you'll no longer be able to jump from 7 to 10 for free.

I mean, half of the audience on the PC will get it for nude and sex mods, so this is great marketing !

I really hope this is the way game footage is leaked in the future, it will make the person finding it question whether or not they want to say they found it. And also give folks a decent excuse as to why pornhub is in their browser history.

 

[morningbus]

h..how?

That part is pretty easy to explain. This footage has popped up on other sites but has been quickly taken down before. On PornHub it has a non-descriptive title and is probably not being monitored by whatever trademark/piracy policing group Bethesda has hired.

It's pretty smart, really.

I'm shocked Milamber didn't post about this first.

The site features humans having sex.

Just doesn't seem appropriate watching someone play when all around the screen people are "playing"

If i buy a key, ill just need to download and use that media creation tool to make an installation medium and upgrade, right?

I'm inclined to agree, I can game for hours but can only sex for about 20-30 seconds at a time, it's just basic numbers game.
