I was already wanting Type-0 but with those pre-order rewards I will probably preorder despite not liking to promote that business model.

Succumb to your fate!

The bonuses don't appeal to me, and i've played it on PSP way back too, so I can wait.

Looking forward to this one. I sort of made myself forget about it after its Indie GoGo campaign because I knew it was going to be awhile before it came out.

Am I the only one who think that Windows 10 might just be Skynet in disguise? I mean, giving away an operating system for free is way too good to be true.

We're all doom on July 29th.

I think pre ordering is cool when they give you a discount

Apple's been doing this for years. Also Linux has been free for decades. Microsoft's just trying to stay relevant.

Between this and Windows 10 launching. The bandwith being used worldwide. Jesus.

Also, should I clean install Windows 10 or not? Is there any benefit to doing so? Clean install is a bit of a hassle cause I'll lose all my Steam games right? Having to back up all the games is kind of a chore.

Just got my new keyboard in with green switches. Coming from browns, it's quite the difference, but very satisfying from both a tactile and sound perspective.

My original DAS was still working fine, but I just couldn't deal with the glossy finish being constantly dirty. There was just no way to make the board aesthetically pleasing.

But its Apple, we can trust them right?

In one of the recent Windows 10 threads, a Microsoft employee came in and said the operating system was designed from the ground up to cleanly install from an upgrade rather than a clean install. It defies conventional wisdom, but, for what it's worth, he said he had merely upgraded from 8.1 and didn't experience any issues attributed to his install path.

You're alive Grief! I did a quick research, apparently I can clean install anytime I want after upgrading to Windows 10. So if I run into any trouble, it's still an option.

Also, funny enough. While i was typing that on my phone and installing an update on my PC thinking it was just a small virus definition update. It was actually Windows 10 final build. I'm passed the point of no return.

There is actually a way to create an bootable iso from the upgrade files downloaded to your PC as well. So you can always do a clean install off the bat if you choose.

Did I die or something?

Green? How unusual, I googled and they apparently need much more force to press than the others. I would never use them because of the noise alone but please report back after a few weeks with impressions.

They are essentially the same design as Blue switches, which I personally love the feel of, but with significantly more force to actuate.

Took me a minute to get used to, but I'm really enjoying the feel of typing on these.

Haven't tested them out in game yet, will remain to be seen whether they will effect anything.

Condemned's PC port is actually amazing. Excellent job Sega, especially in a time where that would not have been common.

A shame we never got the sequel on PC...or Skies of Arcadia, or Shenmue, or JSRF, or Otogi, or Vanquish, or Baynetta, you get the point.

 

[Sober]

I actually didn't know Ashly Burch did the voice for Chloe in Life is Strange. Then again my only real exposure to her was HAWP, so maybe I've just been fooled the entire time.

Also Watch_dogs is on sale again and I feel like I'm tempted to buy it and might even enjoy it. I hate myself.

Monolith is a fairly decent sized PC-focused studio so thank god for that. But more the exception rather than the rule back in the day.

She's also Tiny Tina from Borderlands IIRC, among a lot of other things. Her voices has always reminded me that of Lori Petty's.

He didn't have a 5+ year old 7 install full of crud and cruft from shitty programs and drivers long gone.

Permanent fix to the DS4 situation on Windows 10

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=173290890&postcount=329

Havel just brought this to my attention, but there may be a permanent fix by disabling the DHCP protocol. The problem is you need to enable a static IP as this will temporarily disable your internet.

Mine started working after HOURS of tweaking iagommc11's suggestion. I disabled all "system services", turned them off/on one-by-one to see which among these services were the problems. It was the "DHCP Client" which was causing the "exclusivity" issue with InputMapper. I do not know why. BUT BUT BUT, once you turn this off, you will not have internet access (not easily, anyway).

DHCP is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: it enables a server (usually a network router) to assign an IP address to a computer to allow it to connect to its network. Without it, you have to use static IP addresses to gain network access.

If you are going to disable the DHCP Client service, please do so at your own risk. Anyway, to disable the DHCP Client service:
go to the Start Menu or the command prompt and type "msconfig"
go to the "services" tab
uncheck "DHCP Client"
restart your computer
You will lose DHCP access (and dynamic IP addressing, thus probably your internet connection too) after this so just enable it again after you're done testing.

It's not the internet access that matters. It's the DHCP Client service. I have already tried disabling all my network connections so that Windows did not have internet access upon loading: InputMapper still had problems with exclusivity.

After disabling the DHCP Client service, I rebooted my computer and tried to set my IP to a static one (I just copied the dynamic IP the router gave me, etc.) and now I am posting using this connection AND my DS4 is now in "Exclusive mode".

Big thanks to iagommc11 for this!

SO god damn frustrated right now. Whenever I get a blue screen of death when playing a game with steam achievements, my achievement progress gets all screwed up

Does this happen to anybody else?

Don't try the Red Ash prototype. This is why you don't release this kind of stuff early. It looks like it was whipped together in a couple days.

Either time for a reformat or it's time to take a good look at your components and find out which one is failing and why.

If the latter is the issue, then it is generally heat related which would mean new thermal paste for the CPU or GPU.

Just going through the easiest troubleshooting steps first.
