    SPFreely got a reaction from AutisticGamer in Autistic gaming/web browsing addict   
    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.

    Hi, do stick around and I'm sure you'll feel very welcome here.  The only thing that matters here is what we all have in common. Gaming.

    Welcome to FG @AutisticGamer. I can't echo enough what the guys have said above. You're more than welcome here, take a look around and get involved where you want/can.
     
    Phil is right, not sure where to get that type of PS4 from but CEX is a good start.
     
    I have an autistic son so I can relate to the difficulties you may have in life. Whatever happens moving forward just know that you've got this far and achieve whatever you want to if you set your mind to it.
     
    Btw Freely, always here for a chat as we've never known this til now either.
     
    If you ever want to talk more about your personal progression with life, gaming or any other stuff but want an opinion, you can always consider starting a Personal Progress Report (PPR). It's a section on here that only members can see and it really does bring us all closer together. It's your own little space on FG if you can see what I mean.
     
    We need to always try more to help each other. It's why FG has been here for this long.

    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.)

    Here's a good guide for overclocking Core 2 CPUs.
     
    http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/259899-29-core-overclocking-guide
     
    There's a few variables involved. Personally I wouldn't bother for such a small overclock, but if the chip is a good 'un, I'd go for 3.5Ghz minimum. But here, the motherboard will have a say too on what you can do.
     
    Hope that's of help.

    Welcome to the forum[emoji106]

    No bullying or harassment takes place here, though that doesn't mean we don't have the occasional frank exchange of opinions...

    Treat people as you would like to be treated and you'll be fine.

    Don't know much about region free PS4s but CEX do a nice line in pre-owned consoles.

    Hi, I'm going to be dead honest, I don't want people to think of me as a "troll" or "fake" or "scammer" etc so I'll just be open about everything...
     
    My head is a mess right now due to mental illness, finances, relationships (family wise) etc so ignore my rants or suicidal posts.
    I'm also Autistic and a lot of webmasters/admins have been cruel to me about my behaviour by giving me temporary or permanent bans or warnings. I have a verified account with YouTube and Twitter but people keep bullying me and reporting my content to try and get me kicked off.
     
    My legal name is "Aimee" but I identify as "male" so I go by the name "Alan" but due to excessive bullying and harassment, I no longer have a name, I wish I could have one but people only judge or see me by my flaws or misunderstandings so I feel unwelcome in society, especially online.
     
    I don't know if I will be welcome here or it's the right place for me but I'm going to give it a try.
     
    I've been a gamer since I was a toddler, loved anime since I was a preteen, I'm not sure if it is allowed on here but I'm interested in buying games or game consoles and memory cards with game progress completed. Right now I'm looking for a pre-owned original PS4 console that's UK PAL but modified so it can play region free discs/games. I would save up for a better TV or a PS4 pro but they're so expensive.
     
    I'm a legit buyer but I've been blackmailed and harassed because I wouldn't pay some guy £300 upfront by PayPal during Christmas period, I explained to him that if I did a bank transfer it'd be faster but he didn't listen and now he has like £1,500 pending to his PayPal account.
     
    I'm 31 years old, I own a SEGA Saturn & Mega Drive, slowing saving up for a Dreamcast, I have a PS2 (Original & Slimline) and one of those plug in play mini consoles. I think I have an N64 somewhere, I definitely have a NES.
     
    Well, this is me...
     
    If you like me and accept me, thank you, if you are creeped out or feel uncomfortable of my presence then by all means report me and I'll happily accept being banned from here like every other online community... Unfortunately I don't have Facebook because Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want me to have it.
     
    there you go

    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.

    SPFreely got a reaction from GazzaGarratt in Last movie you watched   
    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.

    Watched Serenity. Again. Love it. Miss that type of sarcastic humour in a space film. Such a shame that they can't bring Firefly back to screens through Netflix or another TV service. They'd be a huge following for it.

    Interesting you say that as many people have said that he doesn't suit a film like this.

    Don't know what you mean by low profile.

    Most GPUs are one slot, unless you're going SLI.

    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.

    This is true, mine has 2 tiers. Its all a snug fit in there but it was completely worth it so don't restrict yourself too much to one tier.
     
    I'm pretty sure mine was one of the best on the market for it's size - I took the advice of the FGers here @Diddums @phil bottle @The3rdWalker @Greboth @crispymorgan and a few others too as I needed a small tower to suit my play area (and wife 😁).

    I know @GazzaGarratt has a mini ITX GPU from Nvidia -  but I think that's still more than one tier. Hopefully he'll see this and confirm.
