Pretty much every motherboard in the last 10 years has shifted to the “Intel Standard” layout:

Most midrange to high end cases have a single connector that fits right on there, for compatibility they include a breakout adapter.

Biggest problem I encounter is people failing to signal their exit

So I end up being C because I yield to a bunch of bozos who didn’t communicate they were’t going to come my way

As a kid, I remember seeing previews of this on early OXM demo discs and in the magazine itself. I never came across the game in the used games bin, but always had an interest in playing it.

A year or so ago, looked into it as a potentially fun Steam Deck game but was steered away by disappointing Xbox reviews.

Seeing this, I now have the game wishlisted and am looking forward to picking it up on sale!

This review is what did it for me. Love the way you tied it in with your mug :)

I considered the cost of the hardware and the time I would spend getting it all configured, then collecting the content from various sources.

Ultimately decided that $189 was worth it. I already have too many WIPs and something like this has been sitting on my ToDo list for years already, this is a great shortcut

Getting out of S mode is a few clicks away though. There’s a certain kind of user who actually benefits from it, and nobody is locked in.

RT’s restrictions were primarily architecture based (ARM)

Looks like Gossip Girl

There is no better archive utility than 7-Zip IMO

Just wish there was a MacOS version

I’ve played every Battlefield since 1942. The series does a great job creating large-scale warfare while keeping it action-packed, avoiding the longer lulls found in other milsim games. There’s a degree of intensity to the combat that I don’t really feel in most other FPS titles.

They’re regularly on sale on Steam for $1.99.

Battlefield 4 is coming up on 12 years old and still has a fair amount of active servers. Might just be me getting old but I find the gameplay really holds up. Compared to Battlefield 3, the whole battle pass / premium currency aspect was really souring at the time, but it’s not all that bad now.

For me, each release since then has been increasingly disappointing, though I still played them and had my fun. I was hyped for WWI combat in BF1, but they had to go and put fully automatic weapons with reflex sights in every soldier’s hands. Thought maybe we’d wind up with bolt action only hardcore servers, but that didn’t really pan out. Battlefield V brought things back to WW2 again, but it felt ruined yet again with an overabundance of attachments and letting everyone spawn with any other faction’s weapons. Completely immersion breaking.

The best modern Battlefield game was BattleBit Remastered, which wasn’t even developed by EA/Dice and had very simple Roblox graphics - seems like things aren’t going so good anymore.

If you like Star Wars, the Battlefront games are pretty amusing.

A lot of the Battlefield games have a single player campaign that ranges from generic FPS to actually having some pretty cool mechanics sprinkled in.

In that case, they wouldn’t have found it in Control Panel anyways.

Otherwise, they would have opened Control Panel.

Settings is more accessible to casual users.

I’m surprised modders are still releasing their work in a manner where they can be personally identified and forced to comply with a DMCA takedown.

If modding is going to be treated like piracy, move it into pirate networks. Hell, I’d even love to see mods requiring a cracked copy of the game just to send a message.

I often revisit Soldat

As far as Windows 11 is concerned, the difference between those CPUs is hardware presence for fTPM 2.0

Windows 11 uses that for Bitlocker, Core Isolation, and (I think) Local Security Authority features.

Windows 11 is otherwise the same as 10 - I’ve yet to encounter anything that worked in 10 but didn’t in 11.

If those features aren’t important to you, you could easily perform an “unsupported” upgrade to Windows 11 and your system would be just as secure and functional as it is now. You would then be able to enable those features when you upgrade the CPU down the line.

Decided to get 16GB more RAM, a Ryzen 5 2600, and a Gen 3 Sabrent Rocket 1TB SSD

What are your actual improvement goals? Based on your post, it seems like gaming is the focus but your purchases don’t really align with that.

Very few games require or benefit from 32GB of RAM. Those that do aren’t going to run well on your current hardware anyways.

The Ryzen 5 2600 is more of a sidegrade from where you are. I would have recommended going for any Ryzen 5000 processor or waiting.

Storage is storage, so do with that what you will.

Starting with GPU would really have been the way to go for gaming improvements, with CPU as a secondary 2 later upgrade. RX6600 / RX7600 could be had new around your budget, shopping used would likely stretch that budget out further.

Curious to see how effective this is and excited to contribute to its efficacy. I own a repair business and it has taken years to develop the means to effectively cross-reference for compatibility, it takes over a year for a new tech to reliably get the swing of things.
