I want to build you a computer
prophetik music replied to prophetik music's topic in General Discussion
you could partition the drive, but with 120gb SSDs being so cheap nowadays, just installing on a separate drive isn't a bad idea. samsung 850 EVO is the gold standard for SSDs, but there's a lot of good ones out there, including the mushkin enhanced cronos and crucial's line as well. make sure to unplug both your 3tb and your SSD when you do the W7 install so all system partitions go on the drive you're installing to. -
still have that MS store credit. i also have a PC copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider - if anyone wants it, let me know a reasonable price and it's yours.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Spoilers Inside!)

not only that, but the bowcaster was obviously ragdolling dudes all movie, and here he just kinda staggers a bit. yeah, i guess he's a wimp. -
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Spoilers Inside!)
prophetik music replied to DarkeSword's topic in General Discussion
i loved it. i thought kylo's performance was stellar - he's not some implacable foe (which we didn't need more of), he's this deeply conflicted dude who is not necessarily the strongest of jedi, or even the strongest dude. i mean, look at him, he looks like he should be cashiering at a discount shoe store, and he's trying to live up to this galactic badass. his acting was fantastic, if you recognize that being awkward and difficult to get along with and riding the struggle bus emotionally is good acting (in this case, it totally was). i love the concept of finn's character, as well as rey. i like that there wasn't one major character who realizes that they're going to save the galaxy and becomes awesome just in time to suck in the sequel. finn's groundwork is set for him to eventually be a hero, but they didn't need to make him blossom in this film, and that'll make it better when he eventually does. and rey's just phenomenal. great acting, great character, great job fitting the role and the actress, etc. i don't think it's strange at all that she was able to pick up concepts of the force quickly (it's not like they had her creating a lightsaber from scratch, the concept of imprinting your will on someone else is something everyone wishes for and 'practices' from young childhood), or that she was good at dueling since she had the stick and was obviously trained at it. once she remembered to draw from the force - which, according to ep 5, comes as naturally as breathing to someone who has the potential - her actions were fluid, defined, and not desperate at all. conceptually difficult to render on a screen but i'm sure that a well-written book would be able to make that be clearer without assistance. someone else mentioned how lived-in the world felt. i think that's a great way of putting where the initial series succeeded and the prequels failed. they were so sterile, and here it was much more realistic that the areas had existed for a long time. i loved it. i want to watch several more of it. i wish my thread (which started on thursday night!) was the main star wars thread though -
just got my gift. jen/jade sent me all the DLC for Rocket League, and a copy of Planet Explorers! i am super excited for both =) planet explorers is also a cool one, an early access game that combines the blocky building elements of minecraft and cube world, the big dinosaurs of games like Ark and Turok, and an over-the-shoulder FPS view similar to most of the valve games. i played a little of it a while ago and always wanted to try it now that it's getting farther along. thanks so much!

Destiny (OCR Clan open, join now!)
prophetik music replied to Brandon Strader's topic in General Discussion
i've been exploring a few of the playlists and one i completed today (on my first try) was the prison of elders. i got a bunch of guns - purple and yellow - that aren't particularly high-damage. looks like i can upgrade the purples but not the yellow. what's the deal there? -
i'm just glad i got a list that was interesting. i had a few extra bucks this holiday and wanted to give someone something that'd really give them a nice day, and it sounds like i succeeded. merry christmas flex =D

Destiny (OCR Clan open, join now!)
prophetik music replied to Brandon Strader's topic in General Discussion
hey, i got destiny on the xbone. it's pretty fun! i've been playing with a few friends who also got it around the same time. any suggestions on what to kit towards? i am a gunslinger hunter, around level 25-26 right now. i like snipers and scout rifles and most of the heavy weapons. -
hey, this was me! =D i'm so happy you're into it. you did say you wanted my favorite album on lp and interesting soda or chocolate, so there you go =) for those who don't know: 1. cheerwine is a primarily SC/NC-based pop company that's actually one of the oldest (if not the oldest) family-owned fountain drink maker in the country. they make what's basically the best black-cherry pop in existence. it's also very reasonable as an add-on item from amazon, and (best of all!) should be available everywhere in the states in grocery stores by 2017 or so. i'm surprised you've tried it before, flex, i checked and didn't see you'd lived in the carolinas area. i only had it once or twice and absolutely loved it. 2. mexican hot chocolate is really good, and the stuff made the old-style artisanal way is the best...stone-ground chocolate that's a bit gritty in a pleasant way. fantastic for sitting around and listening to...excellent bluegrass on lp! speaking of which... 3. nickel creek (and, by extension, mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile) is one of my favorite musical groups, and 'why let the fire die?' is easily my favorite album of theirs. i was super nervous you'd be like "ew bluegrass" so i'm really happy you're into it! they play extremely progressive music, stuff that does a lot of mixing of styles including jazz, folk, and rock. it's pretty involved stuff, has some excellent lyrics, and is a real musical journey. i have been more influenced in my own music by this group than any other. i wasn't super excited to see that the lp changes the order of the tracks, but it's still a fantastic experience. if you like this, flex, check out Thile's new albums under Punch Brothers. their newest album, Phosphorescent Blues, is even more on the progressive side, about as much folk as kid a is rock. really, really experimental in an awesome way. the first track (familiarity) blew my mind with how imaginative it was.

mine gets there tomorrow by end of day =) looking forward to seeing what my recipient thinks!

i have a total of 70$ to the MS store right now. if you want to buy something from there, let me know and we can work something out.

sorry jade

brandon, you probably have a 32-bit OS. it can only use up to around 4gb of ram.

goat simulator dx: chumpionship edition what a save
-
controller, just use an xbox controller on PC. it's pretty fun and still on-sale for 14$ till tomorrow.
-
ordered my stuff, should be there in a week or two. i did amazon since shipping costs a lot if you buy individually, but i got a good variety of things. i tried to get things that my match wouldn't have gotten on their own, so we'll see how it goes =)
-
double poast time! i still have just cause 3 for sale, but i sorta accidentally ordered two xbox ones over the weekend. so, if anyone wants a gears of war xbox one bundle for the 300$ i paid for it, or around there, let me know, and it's yours.
-
got my matchup, some intriguing ideas on their wishlist. i wanted to make it interesting this year since i had a bit of cash to spend, and i definitely think i'll be able to do that =D

thanks for the backups, guys =P zircon, is your setup all unique drives or are they in some form of raid setup? with EVOs being so incredibly cheap i understand the changeover but i'm curious how you've got them connected. also my next upgrade's going to be an M2 ssd. i haven't played with one yet, but man, the raw numbers are bananas.
-
the main benefit of having an ssd is that it is by far the best upgrade you can make to any computer, regardless of setup, for raw performance gain. just the better performance of the OS makes it worth it. no one uses an ssd and goes back to platter for their OS drive. nothing compares to the performance gain an SSD gives a desktop. someone else back me up here...i can't imagine anyone who has one wouldn't recommend it to others. it'd still be worth putting omnisphere on the ssd even if it takes up some space, solely because omnisphere is really annoying when you try to put the sample files elsewhere from your actual vst file.
-
i have a copy of Just Cause 3 for sale. give me a good offer and it's yours.
-
it is a waste to buy three small platter drives instead of an SSD and a single larger drive. for the 170 you are paying for those three, you could buy a 250gb SSD like the 850 EVO and still afford a 2tb WD caviar black. You don't get quite the throughput from the storage drives, but the SSD is so much better. no contest.
