very mature of you

If that's a remark regarding what I think it is, you're reading in to my post with a completely different meaning than what it is.

Quote from Shotglass :

again my taste doesnt factor into this

It does, actually. All you're doing regarding this matter, is exersizing your elitist attitude.

You've been given reasons why a window is useful, including seeing watercooling leaks, yet you ignore them and stick with the "NEIN NEIN NEIN WINDOW IS BAD TASTE AND THEY SHOULD NOT EXIST!"-stance.

As it's meaningless to continue this charade, I've better things to do than waste time arguing with uptight and overserious people.

My point was, what is your taste isn't necessarily everyone elses. Live and let live.

In the end, I might even go with a solid side panel as that allows fitting sound dampening material - doesn't change my opinion that window looks nicer.

Quote from Shotglass :

some also like weaing large wall clocks round their necks or golden phones
soemthign being common doesnt make any of it any less of a faux pas

So basically: "STOP LIKING THINGS I DON'T LIKE!"

@BWX232 Cool rig, not a fan of the FX architecture myself but it looks good. You could try routing that 8-pin CPU power cable between the motherboard and the graphics cards to hide it a littlebit better.

Because some of us like how they look. It's nice to be able to see those thousands of euros poured in to the rig, and the hours spent cable managing everything to be tidy. It's not without reason that most components are also made to look nice these days, Titan is a good example. Window is also useful to see if the water cooling loop starts to leak, can possibly prevent a larger disaster from happening as you can act on it quicker rather than letting it slowly leak all over the GPU and PSU.

The simple fact that 350D windowed model outsold the solid panel one 9-1 according to Corsair says a lot, that's why they didn't even bother making a solid panel version of this 750D. Of course, if anyone is neckbearded elitist enough, they can always buy a second solid panel separate just to hide everything away.

Mainly due to dust, my 600T was full of this microscopic fine dust after it was on the floor for half a year. It had just gone straight through the filters.

And I'm out of money.

and u only use it to check lfsforum. dont get it

That's not true, I use it for Terraria and Papers Please too.

New case and PSU.

Nice! There's apparently an HD dev kit coming (early next year?) even though that wasn't the plan couple months ago, so might want to keep an eye out for that.

I don't think he had any to begin with.

Quote from flonoen :

Does anyone really think the graphics are good? Good graphics does not make a good game, but it sometimes help a lot. When I can stand 10m away from a door or some detail in the landscape and not see it because of jaggies and poor textures, it hinders the gameplay in my opinion.

It's as good as we're going to get on 8 year old hardware. I'd say it looks pretty amazing considering what it's being forced to run on, even if it's only 30 FPS max. Considering that they had to utilize the bandwidth of the both HDD and the disc drive bus for textures and objects (with the exception of PS3 + SSD + PSN install) it's a good showcase how much the ancient hardware is being pushed with GTA.

Multiplayer currently feels like a beta test more than anything, it oughta be more fun once the heists arrive, I hope. The mandatory grind for RP and money is a pain, especially with R* nerfing mission rewards with every single patch, as to prep people to buy their virtual currency with real money. Freeroam in public servers is a complete waste of time with all the griefers, but private crew and friend sessions are pretty awesome when you get some higher level missions going.

Personally, I've been more than happy with the game, I've certainly put in more hours in to it than anything else so far this year. Only the driving physics let me down pretty bad in the beginning, but I've adapted to them. 52 hours currently clocked in multiplayer alone, propably around +20 more with the character I lost before.

Atleast for once TB is rallying up his lynch mob for a good cause, rather than a reddit downvote brigade.

Regarding topic, I've been a victim of a mindless Youtube copyright strike aswell, all because of a 20 second audio clip from a japanese game. Managed to get it removed by appealing, but what a load of BS that such system even exists. Japanese companies especially seem to be really out of touch when it comes to reality and how the internet works.

Edit: NukemDukem's response to TB's video proving even more lies by the developer. Hilarious.

Got some more spordy cars in garage now.

Okay, this is getting annoying. Lost progress levels twice now. Dropped from 38 -> 37 last night, and now dropped from 40 -> 38 again.

I noticed the game said "failed to save progress to cloud, retrying" and then "progress saved" but apparently it didn't save anything. Argh!

Hey guys, in regards to questions about the first deposit of GTA$. We're aiming to make the first deposit of $250,000 in all players accounts early next week once we've confirmed that any remaining game progress issues have been fixed for the community in this latest title update. Thanks for understanding and stay tuned to the Newswire for more details.

Quote from ACCAkut :

may this be an issue based on the limited memory of the consoles? They try to keep the "up-popping" of building and stuff down, so as few cars as possible are stored in the RAM at the same time.

Pretty much, the cars always belong to certain groups due to the console memory limits. If they didn't limit the car model spawning in any way, they would run out of that 256MB memory limit pretty quick. Drive around enough, and you'll get different car groups spawning. Like I said, it's been done this way since GTA 3, pity they never change it for the PC version either.

It will appear again only if you grab it during the one mission it spawns. If you don't, it's gone for good.

The spawning code is still very much broken and weird, like it has always been with every single 3D GTA.

For example, this particular car appears once in the offline story. Once.

Did that for a while with some random guy to unlock car parts and colours, the money/xp rewards depend on your level though.

No way in hell PC version is coming this month.

Maybe October 2014.

Karin Intruder, it was just driving around in the city.

Finally got the 391K apartment, so can start spending money on cars! Here's the current garage... still a long way to go before unlocking engine and suspension mods.

One spot is empty because I use it as a buffer to store expensive cars to sell later. Rank 32 character now.

Quote from Tinytacohead :

Uhm, thanks captain obvious. My point was Nissan's the one who made the car such a bitch to get here, not US regulations. They knew the requirements & had they wanted to, could've kept them in mind during design.

Not really, the car just wasn't designed for americans. It was designed to be the best that Nissan could do in Touring Car races at the time. There was simply no need to even think about regulations elsewhere, it's not like they went "Yosh! Let's make a car that the muricans can't have! Ha-ha!". If it's not the butt-tight US import regulations (mainly to protect the domestic car market to stop people buying better made, better equipped foreign cars) to blame, surely the car would have passed fine, had it not been RHD only? I can't really see your logic in this.

Quote from Tinytacohead :

That brings us to pretty much the only thing you said of worth, about Japanland having a thing for Japan exclusives. They also love doing super limited runs of stuff. (and I'm not referring solely to automobiles)

With all the mandatory emissions BS that the car would have had on it, they wouldn't have needed to lie as it would have propably barely made 200BHP...

Quote from Tinytacohead :

As far as emissions, from the article I read about the Motorex scandal, getting them to pass even California's strict standards was pretty easy. According to a detective on the case, the main problem for Skylines in the US, (other than dipshit Hiro Nanahoshi ruining everything), had to do with their low crash protection standards.

Motorex, from what I read, were dodging rules and regulations left and right. Had Nissan gone through with importing an RB26/GTR to the USA by themself, it would have been full of emission devices and the car wouldn't have been what it was designed to be.
