Something if you long for the games of your Youth.

Retro-remakes
Classic Retro Games

Many classics from the seventies, eighties and a couple from the ninetees aswell are to be found in the categories below. All games are remakes of their originals and are created for Windows PC's.

Link here,all free.

I have played many of these,and it can be fun to recapture those days gone bye.

I guess this was oriented more towards videogames. But yeah might be misleading title.

In my experience, gaming is generally used when talking about video games (console, pc and handheld/phone).
I've always heard people use "sports" as an encompassing term for physical sports like soccer, baseball, football, etc.

I could be wrong and it could be a generational thing, so... Take this with a grain of salt.

I guess we could have a sports thread.

Re: Gaming

Late update on the PC build but totally got it up and running a couple weeks ago. Which was right on time as we got snowed in and had something to do. Running a 1440p 144Hz monitor with it and games look amazing. Been running Witches 3 on ultra at 80-90 FPS. Battlefield one has been hitting over 100 fps on ultra with it.

If anyone was thinking of buying Rift's expansion Starfall Prophecy, don't even bother. Who brings out an expansion with no raid content? Trion. That's who. Quest lines are broken too so good luck levelling!

I pre-bought the GW2 expansion and still haven't played it. It's been live for months, lol. I'm logging in for the first time today (after my errands) to take it all in. I hope I won't have the same reaction to it like you did with Rift.

Re: Gaming

I did get a ground strap so there should be no problems. Also Amazon messed up half my orders so half the parts won't be in until next week. I won't be back in Maine until the 28th(visiting family for Christmas) so it'll be a couple weeks before I get to sit down and do this thing.

Re: Gaming

A good idea when handling components that are static prone is a grounding strap,it goes on your wrist and has a cable that you attach to ground(only good to get rid of static charge on YOU) a shorting stick is also good if working on something that might have a capacitor that is holding a charge

Grounding strap.

Re: Gaming

I have actually never really worked on the inside of a computer before. It doesn't look like there is any conflicts between the parts so it should go alright. I'm super excited for it all to come in.

I intended to get back to this earlier, sorry I'm late. So to avoid subjecting you to an essay, my main advice is

1) Watch some youtube vids about assembly. Assembling a machine isn't particularly hard but it's always good to see how things should go before trying it your first time.

2) ESD is not your friend. I've seen conflicting opinions on if you can sufficiently ground yourself on the computer if the computer itself isn't grounded. Some say that touching the chassis will equalize the charge and therefore negate the threat, some say the machine would need to be grounded. As grounded means plugged in (but not on) with a three plug cord plugged into a three pin socket (taking out pin three is a bad idea, don't do it), this distinction may mean something depending on how paranoid you are about electrical safety. If you have something near where you're working that is grounded then ground there and then work.

3) A Power Supply Unit is considered field replaceable. If you think there's a problem with it then don't try and fix it, send it back and get another. PSUs are higher voltage than the rest of the machine. I'm less concerned about you hurting them than I am about them hurting you. It probably will be fine, I've replaced hosts of them without issue and you're getting a new one but if there is an issue than just get a replacement, don't tinker.

Re: Gaming

Good luck with the build. I had a friend up in Albany who built MANY systems because it was his hobby. His "thrill" was the building and he sold them after playing with them a little. I think his number was near 30 systems when I knew him. His real day job was as a cook.

I myself bought one of his systems..
