Off-Topic / Building a new computer, what parts?
« on: 08-11-2015, 12:11:05 »
You've helped me quite a lot in the past with technical difficulties, but now I venture into territories I haven't kept up to date with in way too long.

In a couple of weeks, when my next paycheck arrives, I plan to get/build a new gaming computer.

I have a budget of maximum 800€. With the demands that it will be able to play kind of any game up to this date (witcher 3 and fallout 4 will be the benchmarks i suppose) on high to highest settings.

As well as needing the option to be able to upgrade it, for when (yes, when) Half life 3 is released.


Anyways, what are the things I should consider nowadays? What parts offer the most performance compared to their price? What case (I want a discreet one) would fit with the parts I should get? I prefer one with effective but silent fans.

I suck at this. if someone could get me some insight and tips as to what parts I could get it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

(also, a new computer is what will get me to come back to FH2 after several years hiatus. As I can't play it on my current computer)

Off-Topic / Police brutality in Sweden
« on: 24-08-2014, 10:08:24 »
Svenskarnas Parti (party of the swedes), an outspoken rasist party, responsible of an attack on a peaceful anti-rasism demonstration this december. Responsible for the attempted murder of 6 people on the 8th of march. A party that sent volounteers to Ukraine to fight in fascist paramilitary-brigades, roaming the streets of Kiev and beating up communists.

Yesterday in Malmö this party helt a meeting. About 1000 persons were there to demonstrate and show that they will never be accepted.

The police were there of course, that I don't object to.
However, they went way too far.

The police acted as a wall, protecting Svenskarnas Parti (and the anti-fascists) by keeping them away from eachother.

Suddenly - unprovoked - the police started attacking the anti-fascists. I followed this closely on many different medias as it happened. The police (as they have done many times the last years in Sweden) come up with excuses and try to expel themselves from any blame.

The fact is though, that the situations has been recorded. And the story from countless eyewitnesses, from free-lancing journalists as well as regular journalists show a different situation.


The police on horseback rode over a group of people - repeatedly. Centimeters from crushing skulls, resulting in a lot of blood and injuries. When people tried to help those that had been trampled, the police responded with beating them with batons.
They prevented the ambulances from arriving, as they refused to move their vehicles.
And once the ambulances arrived, people went in to protect those that were to be loaded into them - now the police started attacking these people as well.

One man was overrun by an armored car, most definitely intentional.
Here's a few pictures to show you the mayhem, as well as two videos.

Here's the police charging a group of people - unprovoked.

And here's the really horrible video, where they ride over them with their horses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB0-MXNPUIU&list=FLD7jEKzLS1mnXSWm-KCAMPA&index=2








Once again. This was unprovoked.

Today, in my city, Svenskarnas Parti is having another meeting. I will be there, protesting. More important now than ever to not let ourselves be frightened of the police and the rasist. I just hope people focus on opposing the rasists, the "fight" against the police is for another day.

Off-Topic / Larches forming swastikas east of Berlin
« on: 07-07-2013, 18:07:45 »
During a short period of time in the autumn, a bunch of larches - planted in a pine forest - change the colour of their leaves, making a familiar symbol visible from the air.

Say what you want, I love this. Creative, it's quite beautiful, and completely unnecessary.

Off-Topic / Ted moving to Berlin
« on: 29-08-2012, 23:08:56 »
So like the title says, I'm moving from Stockholm to Berlin in the coming weeks.
Why? Because I have nothing for me her at the moment. I have friends + girlfriend in Berlin, plus it's real cheap and easy to find an apartment (and I desperately need to leave home). and I want to do something out of the ordinary.

Anyway.

My biggest concern is my computer. I don't really have the money to buy a laptop and now I have a big iMac (just please don't hate in this thread).



Any idea how I could best move this? Are luggage tossed around much or could I enclose it tightly and safely in between clothes, maybe fit in hand-luggage? or perhaps send it by mail? (last option probably really expensive).

Or should I simply loan money for a cheap laptop, and in that case, What is a good laptop I can get for maximum of around 600€, which should be able to handle the simple game Football Manager 2012.


Also, general tips for moving to Berlin (from germans maybe?)

Me, I can't wait. Just 2 weeks ago I began playing Diablo 2 again and loving it as much as the first time I played it. Will try out this beta, then decide if I will buy it or not (most likely, I will).

Silvio Berlusconi has vowed to resign as prime minister of Italy!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/08/silvio-berlusconi-to-resign-italy

Seems like the government right now does not have majority. he will step down next week 'when' the italian parliment votes 'yes' on economic budget cuts.

Will he keep his monopoly on the italian media? What will happen? Discuss!

Do hope though that you can play co-op online too.

Off-Topic / Rep system
« on: 09-02-2011, 00:02:31 »
Is there any chance to get a kind of rep system at these boards?

perhaps bring back the one we had in the first week here in warumdarum where you could put + and - (kiss/kick?) on posts. But this time maybe only include the + to reduse abuse

Best would of course be to have the same as we had back in filefront.

I would like this to be able to show support, or that I like a certain post, without taking the space of making a post saying nothing at all.


Edit: It might even reduce the spam

So... at the ninth of november (9/11) I will make a 30 hour travel to the land of Oz.

I'll be joining up with two friends who have been there since september.

I'm due back in sweden at the 18th of january.
However, if I get a job there in Sydney I will likely prolong my stay.

So yeah, unless given already in Rawhides thread: any tips are welcome.


Just like rawhide, I will get a working holiday visa.


I'm excited. Believe it or not; i've never flown before. so my first flight will be alone and a 30 hour flight. hardcore!

Off-Topic / LAN-Games
« on: 21-09-2010, 15:09:27 »
another thread asking for suggestions.

So with my new mac (with windows 7 installed) we can finally utilize the LAN potential in my home.

Now I'm asking for your suggestions regarding LAN games.

We have played AOE2 to death, we want something new.

Of the games we got, we've tried both world in conflict, operation flashpoint 2 and UT2004. Great games all of them, but we want more.

What do you have to say? Strategy games always work great, but would love something else as well.
Would love to hear both Co-op and versus games!

Off-Topic / Computer tip
« on: 21-09-2010, 15:09:51 »
Okay basically I'm just asking for your suggestions.

I am to help my brother choose a computer to get.

There's basically 2 prerequisites:

1. It should be a laptop
2. shouldn't cost more than 700€

so what do you know? what would be the best one for that price? should be able to play some games, but not like über-new games.

Got any suggestions?

Off-Topic / 24 hour sale on threadless /Ted (Not spam)
« on: 08-09-2010, 00:09:56 »
No this is not some advertisment (well in a way perhaps, but see it more as a tip).

Just thought i'd give you guys a tip.

www.threadless.com

A great site with a LOT of different t-shirts with pretty, clever, funny or just weird prints.

For the next 24 hours they are having a sale, all their tees go for only 9 bucks.
I bougt 4 t-shirts and a hoodie, can't wait to get them.


This is probably the only site where I wanted to subscribe to their weekly newsletter.

Sadly, a lot of the t-shirts I've been keeping my eye on while waiting for a sale, are sold out :(

They do have sales quite regularly. They had one this spring, and had one last christmas as well where everything went out for 10 USD.

Thought I'd just give you a headsup on a great site and with great prices right now.

Hope this don't get deleted as advertisment or something.

to prevent that, let's discuss t-shirt prints!

I bought this one among others:
