Do you really trying to say that reducing the difficulty in Doom will not make the levels linear? Because I doubt it very much, but I don't understand why you twist everything every time and start answering questions that were not asked? All I see is the story of how the trees were once bigger. Nostalgia is a normal thing, and many comments here indicate exactly that - everyone remembers something warm from the past, how someone used to play a game and it left him with pleasant memories. But having memories and being stuck in the past are different things :unsure:
I haven't said reducing difficulty will change the levels linearity but it changes only the game difficulty (this is why the difficult option exists).
Those games are classics, they are still played today with alive communities, they were the inspiration for new Fps, I bet in next 30 years games made nowdays will not have the same alive community we have today for older fps. Nowdays we have a lot of new games that are explicitily have retro vibe of 90s adding some modern features.
It is not a matter of being stucked in the past when someone plays both old and newer games but with a preference with older ones. The game I've most hours spent is a new game and it is not a fps.
Thanks! I was very surprised to see someone I knew in that list of winners :D

Pretty nice, a €25 Credit of "Choice". Theoretically, I get to pick from here, but I found that not everything is kept in stock. I try every now and then to redeem for a Steam credit, but I may eventually have to choose something else.
Nice win :D

Is there anyone who still didn't get a Peaky Blinders key? I already had the game, so I have an extra now. I can't promise I'll be able to get it to you right away, but sometime in the next day or two when I have time to get back on the Lair, I'll send it over.
Didn't get the key due to fanatical's stupid region restrictions
Would be happy to try if you have an extra
Thanks in advance(y)

The picture is more animated than real life, I don't doubt she exists...but that isn't make-up and clothing.
okay, I got your point, even though (considering all the previous photos of her I've seen throughout the years) I'm strongly disagree))
AWA Daily Quest for today (10 ARP): Rent a flick
Just click on the quest itself in the Daily Quest section
Visit the Videos section: https://na.alienwarearena.com/ucf/Video

I'm not totally sure about this:unsure: but as per my understanding, tomorrow's Daily Quest will also be a 10 ARP one, Courtesy of April Fools Artifact Fixed.(y)

Also not totally sure, but when you do the Steam Quests this week, you can do it without equipping the H`erkow Warrior Script Artifact (adds an additional 1 ARP to Steam Quest) when the 2x ARP Boosters are gonna be activated later this week. We already know that the Boosters don't work with the Twitch Quests anymore because of the Twitch Artifact, and basically I wouldn't wanna take a chance (Technically it should work and shouldn't be an issue as this is not the main Steam Artifact and non upgradable also, but this is AWA🤷‍♂️).

Basically the reason I'm being very cautious is cuz the payout is big if everything works as it's supposed to. Steam Quests 3X , 25 ARP each with Booster = 75+75 = 150 ARP
wow...o0
So...I'll be reach AF? XDDD
@whatnitrus
I think Dante and Ken were talking about this 👇

no....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
IT CAN'T BE!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
If thats the case theres been a serious fucking mix up here, but ken was saying she looked AI generated as well, and that doesn't make any sense in that pic, except the photoshop tits :ROFLMAO:

God, I hope so :LOL:
Dude...have you checked my answer to @burningpixel82 ? I've literally said "dude, it's Black Widow"))
So yeah...I was talking about the Black Widow XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
That was otherworldly fucked up XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I have one key for this one: Peaky Blinders: Mastermind | Steam PC Game
And I'm eager to trade and not just wasting it in GA section))
It would be hilarious if Dante thought that (and Hatsune Miku) was real. :LOL:
I like the way you wrote it (obviously hinting that that's not the case) XDD
Thanks god, I'm indeed not that dumb XDDD
Now you see why I said he must have hit his head :ROFLMAO:
... so you was thinking I'm talking about obviously CGI highly stylized 3D model from Zelda game?:unsure:
Like FOR REAL? ON GOD!!
I'm curious, were you talking about the chicken runner or another girl? :ROFLMAO:

I'm wondering if I got mixed up, we both did, or dante went lunatic for a day :LOL:
Nah, it's obvious, 'cause Kalinka Fox does looks like Triss in this attire and...I'm not completely sure, but I think she has done the Triss cosplay itself. At least I know for sure that she done the Ciri one)
Dante is the first person I've actually seen shorten those titles...which says alot about the places hes been 'researching', but the wise man once said...YOLO...or not :LOL:
It's all good with my research ability, 'cause it was shortened in the game itself (and the cover), smartass XDDDDDD
CTR has the shorten title on the cover :ROFLMAO:
EXACTLY!!
(the other part of the comment is highly irrelevant)
Your reaction can't get bad if it was never good

ouch XDDDD
yob tvoyu mat'...! o0
8 Dollars month sub code
what does it mean?
I need to have a sub already or it will subscribe me after activating the code? o0

Also, I just won a GA for the key on discord so I no longer need it

For the data mining reason I prefered to disable it, I didn't know you need to keep it open for over provisioning, but atm I haven't activated it yet the over provisioning, my ssd is pretty empty, I've just the system on it and few programs.
You don't need to keep it loaded on startup for OP (over provisioning), but I suggest you do it immediately if you still can (your going to need to shrink your drive if you used all the space for a partition and hope Windows doesn't keep the boot sector at the end anyways, maybe even make a new partition and then delete it to get Windows to 'shift' the second boot sector back to the end of the partition (or drive letter) or possibly use a defrag program that will shift everything first and then shrink it.

If you need any help with that situation just drop me a PM. Its annoying sometimes but usually only when the drive is nearlly full ;)

Like I said earlier (and when you installed it lol), OP keeps a blank space available for when the flash memory dies, like spare disk sectors in the case where you get a bad sector error...the HUGE difference is that it only prevents that flash memory from being written too while its over provisioned, even being empty doesn't matter like it does on HDD.

An SSD drive constantly writes over itself keeping all the data at the beginning of a drive, but it doesn't need to take into account which block its using in order to do it, OP basically prevents it from ever using those spare blocks as a safety feature for when the drive starts to fail...the sooner you do that after installation, the better off you are.

You don't need to load magician at startup to keep it that way, but you do need to do it anytime you make changes in your partition or even do a full windows image restore (not system restore), magician can also do a speed test and an error test, granted you have the samsung drivers installed, if it won't do a smart test...you don't. A problem I had with the same model you bought for the upgrade.

I wonder if a low system format will work to clean it. Always better don't leave personal things on main pc, always backup on external device.
All they want is to delete your data, they don't make it so bad as to stick around after that...or at least not that particular one.

The entire point is a choice:

Lose your data
Pay them money (and maybe still lose it)

If you have backups before it hit you that would save you (I agree, and thats why I don't worry)...but if not I have to assume (if it was made really good) it would encrypt any backup attempts and maybe even other backups when you tried. I've never seen the program firsthand, just the startup code on malware bytes so i'm not sure.
ahha Cortana, I'm wondering in the near future we will have a more intelligent Cortana with gpt chat integrated, M$ Bing has already included a gpt chat bot in his search engine. I hope the blue assistent won't turn red or she will destroy our computers.:LOL:
You can bet on it, as for turning red...its microsoft, you can bet on that too--eventually :LOL:
CTR has the shorten title on the cover :ROFLMAO: But true on reddit they shorten a lot videogames titles, sometimes I don't know which game they are refering to since same shorten title can be refered to more games.
My copy didn't...thats unusual unless its a region thing or I ended up with a used or stolen copy, I don't remember tbh.

Thank you Nitrus! :D I will do OP from Samung Magician, it looks pretty easy to do, the program suggest me to do 10%, my system ssd isn't big 512 gb, real capacity 465Gb, with 10% Op will be -46Gb. Do you think 10% is enough or I can go lower like 5%?

Yes with backups off from the main disk nothing to worry, I think this ransomware is really rare to get, I never heard anyone I know getting infected by it.

Maybe it was pirated copy ;-) In the end of 90s we had many black street market games "shops" around, (they were black market because sellers were black people you could find on the streets :ROFLMAO: ) they sold music cds, psx games, fake branded clothes. Sometimes they messed cd or games cover arts or they made personalized artwork very different from the original :ROFLMAO:

In Spain we call it "top manta" they put it mostly at the exits of the subway stations, I remember the 90's when they only sold ps1 games then in 2000 they sold ps2 games and dvd movies, now they sell a little bit of everything, the ropes they have on the blanket are to pick up everything fast and run away when they see the police.

I'm sure that photo is from Barcelona.:ROFLMAO:

I've withdrawn my request too
You can have it
we are gonna fuck them all up, I appreciate it...and I'm going to accept it only so we don't send them down the path of insanity :LOL:

Thank you :love:

And there were a few more, unfortunately I lost all of them.

Naa, I more than likely (insert ispoiler here lol) stole it from my local electronics store and had no case :ROFLMAO:

I owned 4 playstation games before I even got the console that way, not that one though :LOL:

Again, I'm not versed enough in SSD tech to really give the best advice on this one (an most things I read by users about life extending is BS or petty), I just trusted magician on this one.

I have 3 500GB SSDs, all Samsung...and they all request the 46GB exactly as well. If you have a second drive or you don't need the space I would do the 10% per the programs suggestion.

Keep in mind you can lower or change it later...but if you really can't spare the space, I would give it as much as you can, try to aim for the largest data you would never want to lose at least (which 23GB should cover at 5%), because if the flash fails on something of that size it 'may' try to move the entire portion of data stored on it to the spare blocks...I'm not entirely sure.

Your better off lowering the space in your recycling bin and particularly your pagefile since your running an SSD and a decent amount of ram for a laptop. You can also disable Hibernation if you don't use it (both the pagefile and hiberfile take a percent of your drive too), the hibernation file is probably 15-20GB itself :LOL:

If you want more details like i said, drop me a PM...doubt the whole forum wants my advice on a particular drive heh.
Yes with backups off from the main disk nothing to worry, I think this ransomware is really rare to get, I never heard anyone I know getting infected by it.
Thats because they put more effort into making it impossible to remove than sending it out...that kind of thing usually has a particular audience or even a particular target, but I have--just not the nasty kind. I've been able to remove the ones I have seen for people.
they sold music cds, psx games, fake branded clothes. Sometimes they messed cd or games cover arts or they made personalized artwork very different from the original :ROFLMAO:
We still get them selling bootlegs at concerts--fun fact, their shirts are better looking usually :ROFLMAO:

I buy them knowing it.

I bought one bootleg DVD in another state, never found any around my area.

I would also like to put my hat into the ring for this for now, gonna be busy for at least a day or more. Thanks(y)

Did you get one @Prad0visk(catguts) ? :unsure:
