Support NeoGAF

[electroflame]

yeah but arent the first few DXxx cards usually kinda ass when it comes to DXxx specific stuff? It usually takes 2-3 cards to come out before they can decently handle the new stuff in the latest DX and that doesn't even guarantee that they'll perform well.

Depends on the card, but generally NVIDIA is pretty decent at supporting newer DirectX versions. Granted, each new card will probably have better support than the last, but that doesn't mean the first batch of cards will be crap.

I have no idea about AMD, though. AMD support in generally is kinda crap.

The BTA on the HumbleBundle is going the wrong way. Booo

It almost always increases day by day, except for bundles with really weak BTA tiers. Best thing to do is buy the low tier on the first day to lock in a lower average, then you can increase your payment later if you should desire.

Isn't 970 DX12 card?

According to anandtech 2nd generation Maxwell GPUs support only Direct3D 11.3.

With bundles like this you can also lock in the low/launch price by "buying" the free game offer, you'll then have the option to upgrade it at the locked in price. Of course I failed to do that with this bundle because my tablet crashed and bricked itself x.x

According to anandtech 2nd generation Maxwell GPUs support only Direct3D 11.3.

My understanding is that features are exactly the same in 11.3 and 12.
Only difference is that DX12 is new API, which is more CPU efficient like Mantle. It's not backwards compatible, which is why 11.3 exists.

I was planning on buying a 970 before Witcher 3, but these discussions are making me wonder if that's wise.

 

[Nabs]

So... I have exactly $5.24 in my Steam Wallet. It's a sign, right?

-------------------------

This looks incredible! I'm gonna wait till I hear some impressions, but color me interested.

That looks so neat.

Yeah. I'm excited to give it a shot. It looks really impressive.

Don't worry, it'll get pushed back 3 more times before you have to make that decision.

 

[Chariot]

Ack, it gets worst!
The game seems to use the Chinese terms =(

Japanese: Pon, Chi, Kan
Chinese: Pung, Chow, Kong

That's what I thought at first too, but a friend told me that the english Mahjong World Association uses these terms. Then again, if your game is explicitly using japanse rules, it might use japanese terms as well. I wonder what he uses inside the game.

Better than the American terms: Hong, Kong, Phooey,

Why does america has it's own terms? Oh no, wait, forget that I asked.

I just have to laugh. On and off for many years I've looked for a mahjong game for my mom (who has played since I was a little kid), but generally they've all been solitaire games that call themselves mahjong. Then they come out with a game with real mahjong and it's...this. >_>

Give your mum this flash version or let her try to play competitive on tenhou against humans. There are also some nice apps on Android app store.

I've got a question. Say you win a modbot giveaway, but it's from that "email my steam gift" option. If you're accepting the gift, do you see the giver's email at all?

 

[Casimir]

A lot of this has to do with the fact that Windows keeps a copy of each Windows Update it applies to the system, so that they are modular and can be uninstalled individually. As time passes and new updates are released, the folder in your Windows installation directory will continue to grow. Re-installing the same version of Windows then re-downloading and re-installing the same Windows updates will make it take up the same amount of space.

Thankfully, Microsoft provides a lot of "Update rollup" packages that group several older and well tested updates together which results in a smaller file footprint. This is why re-installing Windows can often lead to a smaller Windows directory.

But a lot of people just look at their Windows directory size immediately after re-installing but before installing any updates, and think "Holy cow, I just got rid of 25GB of data from this folder just by re-installing!" without realizing that after they re-install the available windows updates they may have only really saved 5-6GB. That is of course, unless you install a different version of Windows, for example going from Windows 7 to Windows 7 w/SP1 or from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.

Anyway...

Win7 SP1 is up to 160+ individual updates.:/

CTRL+B, CTRL+I, CTRL+U. Same as they are everywhere else. I thought this was common knowledge.

Edit: Not everywhere supports hotkeys. I meant same as they are in any word processor. When you know you can apply bold, italics, and underline through keyboard shortcuts, it shouldn't be hard to figure out the key combination.

That Ratz Instagib game is pretty cool. It's very Quake 3/UT and I've always been a sucker for those Levelord style maps. I played a couple of rounds this morning and was thoroughly destroyed by a developer who happened to be on my server.

I was just told on twitter that Marooners Rock is currently working on adding more codes as we speak so try again if you missed it.

If you press install it should just find the files and play.
