Upgrade update.

Upgrade update.
Just completed  an hour of No Man's Sky at Ultra detail 2560x1440 with no crashes. 
Bad news is that one of my SSD's failed.  The  one with Project Cars, Elite Dangerous, Rise of the TombRaider & 3DMark.  Probably the 4 things I most wanted to benchmark ;(  Lots to download this week. + BattleField4, Star Wars BattleFront & Mirror's Edge.  Still, I do have the Guardians 2.2 beta to test with.

Intel or nothing :)

Good thing is, 480GB are cheap now... even 1TB SSD are affordable!

QuickUpdate.  Hooked up the Transcend to a External USB cable.  Drive detected (with FAT errors).  Didn't do a fix.  First copying the Steam folder.  Also  my GuildWars2 install was on there so bonus.  One more thing I don't have to redownload.  Will reformat and stick it back in.  During the night I redownloaded Elite and ProjectCars and while I am at work, it is hopefully gonna download a large chunk out of Star Wars Battlefront. ;)  Also another big bonus, it hasn't crashed once yet.  Touch wood.

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t...

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...
