I can't even get it to start on PC

Bebpo · « **Reply #23161 on:** October 28, 2019, 04:20:39 AM »

Started building my new PC at 6pm, finally done with hardware at 1am. Now for 2-3 hours of software loading
Really didn't like this Phantaks Evo X case, first of all metal and glass suck and it was just really inconvienent to get around. My heatsink sucks too in that it's gigantic.

At least it's really quiet so far. Gotta update video drivers and get steam/gamepass and try running some stuff, especially with some heat temps since I'm running the i9-9900k which gets hot and I had some trouble getting my heatsink on right :|

I completely forgot he bought RAM because it has LEDs.

My favorite sorta strange part has always been how like a whole minute is spent on the back panel for the mobo and how important it is for putting in the mobo. When you literally can't fuck it up and he totally ignores the screws in the case which is the part that makes it so you can't put the mobo in wrong.

wait, what in the fuck is this "CPU installer" thing he's talking about it just looks like a brace, i don't believe this story and oh god where did all that thermal paste suddenly come from

why did he do the CPU last, especially with all that crazy shit he put on top of it that he never explained all the tubes and crap

"it'll like basically keep it cool" close enough i suppose

but on the real about being shit at building a pc, what about when your pc only turns on normally if it's been off the power for a few(?) hours?

Did I need to mount the motherboard on some sort of antistatic pads or some shit

benjipwns · « **Reply #23170 on:** October 28, 2019, 06:13:48 PM »

what do you mean "turns on normally" and "off the power"

I'd suspect the power supply and its connections first

Nintex · « **Reply #23171 on:** October 28, 2019, 06:55:43 PM »

If you want an easy to install CPU fan get a Noctua. They're awesome.

As for the PC not powering on. That's usually a PSU issue, so your power supply does not have sufficient power to boot the system or there's a faulty cable somewhere.
A memory issue can also be the cause, faulty memory dimm prevents booting. Try booting with less memory (1 dimm instead of 2 or 4, depending on your setup).

Sushi-X was really upset about the Rygar port on Lynx:

Still gave the "good excuse for capital punishment" a 5 which was actually pretty darn close to an average score in the early EGM days. (For one thing they didn't give 1s or 10s until Street Fighter II.) He gave a 2 to Total Recall for the NES and just wanted to forget about it, allowing the developers to live to develop again!

If you mean “it turns on only after I let it sit while powered off” i would highly suspect it’s some sort of heat issue.

My guess would be PSU fan because an overheated cpu would probably give you the “I’m not starting but im going to give you a bunch of scary sounding beeps that you will look up in the manual”. But maybe some sort of blocked intake or something too

Bebpo · « **Reply #23174 on:** October 28, 2019, 11:51:26 PM »

I fucking hated the Noctua DH15 last night when building. Fuck that oversized thing that makes it take 45 mins to try to squeeze you hand between it and the case to get some connectors in.

Seems to run pretty quiet and cool once it’s in tho

When I turn it on now it will boot, go to windows screen then the cpu fans start spinning very fast making a lotta noise and the screen turns off

Definitely sounds like something is dead. Otherwise it wouldn't even boot and get that far. Maybe hard drive or ram or something related to the Windows OS?

Blasting the dust out of it with compressed air will probably make it run better, since overheating will make it throttle the cpu. Worth a shot. Also disable all unnecessary startup programs.

On PC it has but it looks like it just came out last week on PS4. I'm gonna check out the PC version but from these "types" of games so far I've really enjoyed Blasphemous the most.

EA said they're looking into making one. Also wouldn't 2K make a new 2K football? (Nevermind that everyone who worked on that ended up at EA on Madden or on NBA 2K or that 2Ks newest sports studio just made the worst rated sports game in years).

benjipwns · « **Reply #23192 on:** October 30, 2019, 01:02:01 AM »

They would probably do a NCAA basketball game before football. In years past the NBA game has licensed certain schools at times.

I doubt VC is ever going to get back to trying to do more sports considering those license costs, MLB was an expensive disaster, and what happened to WWE is kinda impressive really.

EA can far more easily toss stuff on their existing football again. I don't know what the various smaller developers might do. AXIS Football and such.

lulz.

For what its worth Live 19 wasn't that bad. It still wasn't up to the sim quality of 2k but it wasn't bad as a pickup and play game.

benjipwns · « **Reply #23194 on:** October 30, 2019, 01:20:39 AM »

Article mentions EA including women street players off-hand, 2K20 actually lets you run a full season with the WNBA teams. I don't think it can do multi-season though.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #23195 on:** October 30, 2019, 01:25:27 AM »

I'm not sure why they couldn't have just iterated on last year's version. That was a decent base for a franchise. To cut the whole thing to win next gen seems unlikely. Although at this point 2k is such a staple its hard to envision anything stopping that train even if they aren't quite living up to what they should be.

benjipwns · « **Reply #23196 on:** October 30, 2019, 01:32:10 AM »

This was actually what they did before the current gen started too, cancelled the game and were relaunching it on the next gen. Meanwhile people who just wanted a basketball game got addicted to 2K's many modes and it was on every single platform even the Wii still for like 2K14.

Also 1440p has already ruined me and going back to 1080p on my tv looks so blurry now

Not being able to see the difference between 60 and framerates above that truly is a blessing
