Awesome! Thanks Phil, I'll certainly give it some thought before going ahead and give the guide a good read of course. Many thanks!

Hi guys, I wanted to get some advice, especially from the PC core *excuse the pun* of the community that don't just buy the best but tweak to get the very best out of their hardware. I have an old PC running an Intel Core 2 Duo E6500 processor, which I thought was clocked at 3.00GHz, but was actually at 2.93GHz, and it may make no actual difference at all in performance but I wanted to actually get it up to 3.00GHz, so I wanted to get some advice? Would it be worth the effort and how would I go about doing it? (Funnily enough I have never dabbled in overclocking even though I seem to be switching out hardware all the time in my machines.)

Welcome and it's really nice to meet you and especially brave to be so honest about things off the bat. I identify a lot with what you're going through. I've been misjudged and misunderstood by people many times and I've suffered a few blocks and bans as a consequence too. Some people have said I might have autistic tendencies as well and I'm thinking of getting checked out too. Don't worry about a thing. Everybody on here is very different and unique in their own ways and we always try our best to get along with everyone. Gaming to me dragged me out of a deep depression I have been going through for many years, and although it's still there, gaming is a great escape and way to connect with people. Maybe that's why you gravitated to it as well, but if I'm wrong please forgive me on that. Just quoting from my own experience.

In light of all the competition and all the talent that's flooded YouTube? I mean sure it's possible for toy reviewers to do well financially and grow their channels to have a decent following. I just think in light of everything one has to compete with, how did this kid come out on top?🤔

Most definitely, as is Die Hard 2. For us action genre lovers, we need something to enjoy over the Christmas period and I'll be damned if Jingle All The Way gets a showing, but Die Hard is omitted.

This list is total BS. Jacksepticeye making more than Pewds, are they kidding? I've heard this list mentioned by several YouTubers who call out its authenticity. Either way, a Toy Reviewer surely should not be topping the highest earners list on a platform featuring top gamers, musicians, comedians, actors etc.

The last film I saw was a weird one, which I watched with a bunch of friends. It's called The Bear, released in 1988 and I found it so confusing I didn't make it the whole way through. It involves two hunters obsessed with hunting this adult grizzly and come close to killing him only to just wound the animal and miss their chance. Now, while you would think any animal would scarper, the bear decides to go after them, killing two of their horses, badly injuring a third, making it PERSONAL. The bear befriends a young cub that for some reason makes childlike noises and has nightmares about the death of its mother, albeit through the art of claymation. I don't know, I just got so confused that I had enough by that point. If someone did see this please tell me I'm not exaggerating.

Well I have considered the 1050ti, I certainly hope it's better than the 1030, urgh horrible GPU right there. No end of problems. The gtx 1070 sounds like it's worth a gander too. Thanks for the suggestions guys, some very helpful info indeed.

Greetings Echo! I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. This place is fantastic, from the friendly people to the awesome content. All gaming bases covered imo.

Cool. I mean I can theoretically sacrifice a couple of slots for a GPU. I have a DELL refurbished machine I got my eyes on which I think has more room for manoeuvre. Don't ask why a refurb, I'm just mad and have an affinity for fixer uppers lol.

I mean small case and small expansion slots. I'm sure you will notice with some GPUs with a VGA out port, they can be discarded for a smaller bracket with just an HDMI and DVI. I guess I used the wrong words. What I meant was Graphics Cards with one tier of output ports, if that makes any sense? So anything powerful (if possible) and small enough to fit inside a small PC case?

Hi everybody, I own a bunch of low profile PCs, opting for this solution considering space is not an option where I live, but I have also found it limiting in terms of what I can upgrade my PCs to in terms of hardware. I was wondering what you guys could suggest along the lines of low profile, possibly one slot GPUs?

I wish I got to meet the man. What a brilliant creative mind and such an influential figure in comic book media and beyond. He will never be forgotten, but I hope for the current generation who have been passed the torch, that they will make him proud and make Marvel great again. I feel they've lost focus, but if there's one incentive to get back on track, it's to do it for Stan. He now joins the likes of Bob Kane in the greatest Hall of Fame of all time.

I still think we're losing focus here, exactly as detractors of game violence would like. Not one single REAL woman has been injured throughout this entire fiasco. If there were solid evidence that this game inspired hundreds of people (I'm not going to say thousands, that's just stupid) to go out and commit violence against women then there would be a legitimate argument against exhibiting this particular content of the game or for removing this portion of the game completely, but I don't think there is and I don't think there ever will be. The so called negative influence of violent games, is the same as blaming aspects of the television, movie and music industries for why kids grow up to become maniacs, contrary to more legitimate reasoning such as abusive upbringings, peer pressure, gang culture etc.

I was wondering if we could curate a collection of free and open source games that we could make available on here or at least signpost to the sites where they are available to download. Stuff like Chromium B.S.U & FreeDoom which I have played and can tell you they're good and addictive. It could be fun? Also, did anyone ever suggest a chatbox in the past?
