WHO NEEDS ASCENSIONS ANYWAY

Newly Opened Proposals for Entertainment

3

Proposed Q&A site for users of the popular code collaboration site, GitHub, including programmers, designers, content managers, and anyone else involved in the collaboration process.

Closed before being launched.

2

Natural Language Processing

Proposed Q&A site for researches of the field of Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. The Grammars, Parsers, Corpus and other innovations in this field could be discussed and shared.

Closed before being launched.

Does anyone have an alternative to BrickForce?

Or any accessible multiplayer online shooter?

I love Brickforce but the F2P made it so painful to play.

Should I just finally try TF2?

12:19 AM

@RedRiderX Depends on what you want out of a shooter.

If you like to lone wolf it, I don't think you'd have much fun with TF2.

Even in Arena, there's a big emphasis on teamwork.

:)

Also, if you like it when everyone is on an even playing field, TF2's not for you.

Sure, some people say that you can kill any other class with a given class, but it's a rock-paper-scissors game.

Hey, not that many people will care, but... the Nethack dev team just confirmed that there will be a next version of Nethack. This is the first time they've said anything for almost 11 years (that wasn't just a minor thing about porting to a different platform or something)! :D :D :D

@Doorknob ... Holy snap.

@Doorknob woah.

12:22 AM

Nethack still has a dev team?

@Yuuki Yeah now that you say that I realize that Brickforce is very much a fisherprice version of CS

You can very much lone wolf it and everyone has the same stats

@RedRiderX Yeah, TF2 is just a different ballpark compared to pretty much every shooter out there.

How hard a learning curve is it to play CS in pub matchs?

I like it, but that doesn't mean everyone will.

@RedRiderX I dunno.

@Doorknob wat

link?

12:26 AM

@badp nethack.org

lol

> This claim is partially correct. This is our code. However it was not released by us or with our authorization. This code is not ready for release: it is unfinished, unpolished, and almost certainly very buggy. It has not been play-tested for balance or functionality.

YOU ONLY HAVE BEEN AT IT FOR 11 YEARS

understandable

> Due to this incident and to prevent confusion, we will not now nor in the future release anything with a version number of 3.4.4, 3.5, or 3.5.0.

Does this beat Duke Nuk'em Forever?

Are we then jumping to 3.6? Or 3.5.1?

Oh -- apparently they have four more years before getting to Forever

@Yuuki between 3.4.5, 3.5.1, 3.6 or 4 I'd go for 3.4.5

or 3.4.3.1

3.4.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1

12:29 AM

3.4.four

3.4.3~1

just to fuck with debian

sqrt(9).sqrt(25).sqrt(0)

Some just said this about Rome Total War 2:

> If it's on sale for cheap, you could do worse. Wouldn't pay full price for it if my life depended on it.

I get the point, but I couldn't help but laugh since they're saying they don't think their life is worth $50.

Silly people.

@RedRiderX Man, these guys talked for several sentences without being interrupted with loud yelling. 1954 was a different time.

Wow, one person talking at a time.

Where did these guys come up with this radical idea?

@Frank: I don't know much about this game, but some reason I thought "I should tell frank about this, he might like it"

RPi Awesomeness

12:40 AM

Oh my gosh. My internet is sucking so bad right now. Can't even load in a youtube page within 5 minutes....I'm amazed I'm even still online at all.

@RPiAwesomeness Maybe you're not.. and just have a good imagination.

RPi Awesomeness

@James O.O

I'm phsychic!

Aaaand...probably Schizophrenic.

Hmm, first @Wipqozn randomly recommends a game he only just heard of, then it was like @RPiAwesomeness didn't have internet...my god, @GnomeSlice is assimilating. INITIATE BRIDGE CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES.

@TimStone so how about that soundcloud oneboxing

RPi Awesomeness

HAHAHA! I'M FINALLY FREE!!!!

12:43 AM

I uhh...EVACUATE THE BRIDGE!

RPi Awesomeness

@GnomeSlice ooo...Soundcloud Oneboxing? I've been wanting that for a while now.

@RPiAwesomeness RIGHT?

36

Q: Chat oneboxing support for Soundcloud?

This is a bit of a silly request, but since SE has recently been posting their Podcasts on soundcloud, I feel like I now have a legitimate reason to bring this up. Would implementing oneboxing support (a la facebook) for SoundCloud tracks be quite difficult? Basically, similar to the way Wikiped...

feature-request chat onebox soundcloud

RPi Awesomeness

@GnomeSlice PRECISELY!

ITS ACCELERATING

I was going to continue the joke with a "so how about that soundcloud oneboxing" but decided against it.

RPi Awesomeness

12:45 AM

@RedRiderX Yesssss.....

It isssssss....

He'd already abandoned bridge by that point anyway

Hmm, I seem to have gotten an awful lot of coupons lately

RPi Awesomeness

The bridge has gone mental...and my internet sucks

darn

@TimStone Oh no

Q: PS4 playing dowloaded movies

I have alot of movies i downloaded from the store and will not play without internet. Can movies downloaded from the playstation store be played without the internet and if so how?

12:48 AM

@TimStone Bleed is awesome

@TimStone Can I have that Battle Worlds coupon?

@TimStone Supposedly Battle Worlds: Kronos is sort of like ADvance Wars for the GBA/DS.

@tim I AM JOINING JUST SO I CAN EVACUATE

RPi Awesomeness

Okay...why is it that chat loads just fine...but freaking nothing else?!?!?

@OrigamiRobot YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE HAS BEEN DULY NOTED

@Wipqozn Speaking of, I haven't played Advance Wars in the longest time.

12:50 AM

@Yuuki NOr I.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I picked up an ebook copy of Wolf in White Van.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Is gud buk.

@AshleyNunn CASTLE SEASON PREMIERE IN FIVE DAYS.

RPi Awesomeness

@TimStone Shouldn't I be insanely committed to the cause? I mean...I'm part of the cause for the evacuation...

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am excited to read it

user15026

12:51 AM

@Yuuki Oh man I am so behind

@AshleyNunn HURRY, YOU STILL HAVE TIME.

> Notice: This game is excluded from Steam's Family Sharing service.

Interesting

I've watched half of one episode of Castle with my grandmother and found it amusing.

@RPiAwesomeness Perhaps

user15026

@Yuuki Pretty sure I couldn't watch from mid season 4 to now in 5 days

12:52 AM

although there wasn't a single Castle in the entire episode.

@AshleyNunn OR I COULD JUST GIVE YOU THE LOWDOWN IN A FEW MINUTES OVER SKYPE OR SOMETHING.

RPi Awesomeness

Okay...I'm going to work on school tomorrow. One should not be working on research papers at 9:00 PM after doing so for ~ last 2 hrs

user15026

@Yuuki laugh you just want someone to watch with?

@AshleyNunn I JUST LIKE HAVING PEOPLE TO DISCUSS TV SHOWS WITH.

AND MOVIES.

user15026

Well then :)

user15026

12:54 AM

(I also love doing that, which I am sure you know from our HIMYM discussions)

@AshleyNunn Speaking of, has the DVD set come out yet?

I haven't been following the news.

user15026

@Yuuki I am not sure. I don't think so.

@AshleyNunn Apparently, it came out Tuesday.

Time to check the subreddit for what the alternate ending was like.

user15026

Oh, right, that was a thing

RPi Awesomeness

Did anyone else get logged out?

12:56 AM

@RPiAwesomeness status-norepro

RPi Awesomeness

I figgered.

@AshleyNunn: I did the Math, and if you watched 12 episodes a day (8.6 hours a day) you could get caught up before the new season launches. I BELIEVE IN YOU!

That would still leave you ~16 hours a day to sleep, eat, and work!

@AshleyNunn Found it, but there's a guy talking at the beginning.

user15026

@Wipqozn That's a lot. :P

RPi Awesomeness

As a side note, I have half of my components for my new PC :D

PSU arrived today. I'z cited :D

Granted...I now have to purchase the most expensive parts...but still :)

Gah...dis lag.

1:14 AM

TIPS TO BE THE SUCCESS: 1. Website (learn it) 2. Utilize the "Power Yes" 3. Anti-goblin serum 4. Earn for good, it IS real! 5. Muscles

Q: What is the Grimoire and what is it for?

Everyone knows about it, everyone talks about it. But what does it do? What is it for? With every card collected, you get Grimoire Points. "I have 1000 Grimoire Points!" "Uhhhhh... cool?" Can someone explain what it all means?

Q: What are the Dead Ghosts for?

I have noticed a few around the place, but so far after collecting a few, they don't appear to do anything. I have to go online to even see how many I have found, and even that seems unsatisfyingly simple. Dead Ghosts Found: 8 I'm pretty sure I have only found 3. Do story ghosts count as we...

@LessPop_MoreFizz The anti-goblin serum is important.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Yeah, unfortunately, it's quite difficult to get a hold of!

OMG...the author of Gunnerkirgg Court has a video series too!???!?!!?

I may or may not have just become slightly exuberated

@RPiAwesomeness ... Do you know @GnomeSlice? /joking

I don't even use pornhub. A music artist I follow posted about that on facebook.

RPi Awesomeness

@Yuuki Good point...though has hasn't mentioned boobs in a while (that I remember)

@GnomeSlice Ah :)

2:05 AM

Ugh, I have to wait a week for my new PC parts!

WHY IS MY LIFE SO HARD?

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Which ones?

user15026

@GnomeSlice Because that will work.

@AshleyNunn Lol it's such an awful idea.

RPi Awesomeness

And...BTW, I've been waiting over a friggin year for a good PC.

i5-4690, cooler, mobo, R9 280X

2:07 AM

@AshleyNunn I could see if maybe they were dedicated to releasing music for people to play during sexytimes... but that doesn't sound like what they're doing.

Q: How many regional Nintendo eShops are there?

I have recently noticed that the European and the US eShop have significantly different offers (special deals, virtual console, etc.) so I was wondering how many regional eShops there are. While we’re at it: Apart from the offers, are there other differences, e.g. prices, types of content? Btw...

user15026

Damn it, I am going to have to look for a new desk chair, again.

user15026

@GnomeSlice And even then....

@AshleyNunn It would be a niche market, but at least it would make sense for their brand, you know?

@AshleyNunn What happened?

RPi Awesomeness

i5-4469, GTX 750Ti, Crucial MX100 128GB SSD is what I need.\

@GnomeSlice She happened. She's terribly rough with the things dontchaknow?

2:08 AM

I'll wait for Cyber Monday on an SSD

I break shit all the time

128GB has terrible value

user15026

@GnomeSlice I leaned back like I do all teh time and there was this bang/snap noise and now the chair only leans way back

@AshleyNunn ...That's ungood. =[

user15026

@GnomeSlice Yeah....I might get my dad to look at it on the weekend and see if he can't stick it back together. I can still sit on it, there's just no real back support

RPi Awesomeness

2:09 AM

@OrigamiRobot I know...I just want an SSD for the OS and I can't afford any more. I'm probably going to wait until Black Friday anyways for the processor in case I can get a local PC store to price match any of the insane deals Microcenter do.

So apparently Minecraft is in once again for AGDQ, but this time glitchless, co-op, random seed (instead of preselected seed)

RPi Awesomeness

AGDQ?

user15026

@RPiAwesomeness Awesome Games Done Quick

RPi Awesomeness

Ah

Youtube channel?

Or acronym because humans are too lazy to type everything out (I am quite often)

I wish AGDQ would play some lesser known games, isn't everybody tired of seeing speedruns for the same shit

2:10 AM

@RPiAwesomeness If you can't afford more, you should wait.

AGDQ is a charity speedrunning marathon in January

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Really...ugh.

You can pay $50 now for a 128GB, or pay 50% more and get 100% more

RPi Awesomeness

I've seen a couple deals on PNY 240GBs for ~$30 more...maybe I'll get one of those. I just like what I've heard about MX100s

user15026

@GnomeSlice There was some stuff I liked this year but mind you I've not watched a lot other years

2:12 AM

But then again I'm speaking from the perspective of already having a 1TB HDD

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot I'm planning on getting one soon after I do this build, or even with this build if I can sneak it in (which I might actually be able to)

WD Blue 1TB.

I've considered getting a WD Black...but they cost quite a bit more

Just use the money you'd spend on an HDD and get a better SSD

@GnomeSlice At the end of the day, they need to find a runner for a given game. And they only have so much time they can fill. So...

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot I know, I know...My build is currently at-budget w. the 128GB SSD, so currently there's no room for an HDD and thus no money budgeted.

and thus no money to put towards a bigger SSD.

However, I have been strongly considering it.

What is your current build?

RPi Awesomeness

2:17 AM

pcpartpicker.com/p/j3Tkqs

I think the prices are dropping on GPUs, for sure on the 280s (sadly, can't afford a $200+ GPU :( )

Like, of all AGDQ submissions, they've rejected over 1300 hours worth of stuff.

RPi Awesomeness

If I see a GTX 750Ti or 660 hit $100, I'm buying it.

That is way too much for a 128GB IMO

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot I could have had a GTX 750Ti for $85, but of course, my parents wouldn't let me get it because they were busy. And...it sold out.

And then I definitely could have afforded the 256GB SSD.

My dad offered me something called a titan today, but he says I'd need to upgrade my power supply and that sounds hard

apparently the guy who bought a bunch of his old computer shit gave him one too, it's some graphics card, better than mine I guess.

I don't even know what I have currently

RPi Awesomeness

2:21 AM

@GnomeSlice Dude. Friggin take the Titan.

It's gonna draw waaaaaay more power.

RPi Awesomeness

And send it to me...:P

like 250 watts, vs the one I have now which is like 80 (and still pretty good)

RPi Awesomeness

@GnomeSlice So? It's a free GTX Titan!

@RPiAwesomeness You can get an i5-4690 for $10 more

2:21 AM

@RPiAwesomeness Is that good?

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot ?

@GnomeSlice Probably better than what you have! It's what they use in workstations and they cost a ton.

@RPiAwesomeness pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54690

RPi Awesomeness

Sure, dual GTX 780s would probably beat it at gaming, but in terms of raw power, the Titan will probably be a great card, even just to have it on hand for a future build/upgrade

And here is a cheaper 128GB if you really want it

pcpartpicker.com/part/…

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Yeah...actually considered that for a while, but it's not as good as Crucials are.

Crucial and Samsung are basically the gold standard in terms of SSDs

2:25 AM

Meh, it's more than 4 stars, so it's fine

RPi Awesomeness

Yes...but, it's still slower (not that I'm gonna notice)

I dunno...maybe I should go back to that. Shoot, should've nabbed it for $63 when I coulda

@RPiAwesomeness It's $60 now

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Yeah...meant the MX100

Had a coupon from Newegg for 10% off

@GnomeSlice Titan is around 1000$ (probably less nowadays)

@RPiAwesomeness 780ti is faster than Titan (not Titan Black) at gaming

My dad says it's slightly below the one my roomate just bought for like $400

RPi Awesomeness

2:29 AM

@GnomeSlice Yeah, you should ask what gen

@GnomeSlice nothing your roommate bought for 400$ can be faster than Titan

assuming he bought new, not used

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Exactly. Titans are more workhorses than gamers

@RPiAwesomeness titan bridges the gap between gaming gpu's and work-something (I forget the words) gpu's

it used to be the best gaming gpu when it was released and it doesn't have its cuda cores disabled, unlike all the GTX cards

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Deal-killer: Sandisk has no support for TRIM

I don't know what that means

2:32 AM

@RPiAwesomeness ncix.ca has 256gb adata sp600 for 106$ on sale

not sure if those sales apply for US ppl or not...

I'm still not budging on my $0.30/GB price point

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot

Trim (computing)

A Trim command (commonly typeset as TRIM) allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally. Trim was introduced soon after SSDs started to become an affordable alternative to traditional hard disks. Because low-level operation of SSDs differs significantly from hard drives, the typical way in which operating systems handle operations like deletes and formats resulted in unanticipated progressive performance degradation of write operations on SSDs. Trimming enables the SSD to handle garbage collection...

@OrigamiRobot arbitrary limitations

256gb is plenty of space for the OS, programs and multiple games

RPi Awesomeness

Personaly, I would love a Samsung 840 Evo Pro :)

you don't pay for storage, you pay for speed

2:35 AM

@Chippies Which I will gladly pay $75 for

@RPiAwesomeness as a regular consumer, you won't notice much difference between the cheapest and the most expensive SSD

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies This is true...I've got this notion in my head that I need the best SSD. Dangit me.

@RPiAwesomeness I have that issue all the time with everything

after a while some common sense kicks in and you realize that you're paying premium for a small difference

which is fine, if you have plenty of cash burning a hole in your pocket

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies It's why my budget jumped from $500 to ~$600. I've been using sales and parring back ever since.

But I really do want TRIM, as that is the future in SSDs

but on a budget, you may as well save some money on insignificant stuff

@RPiAwesomeness I find it hard to believe you found an SSD without TRIM

2:37 AM

I wouldn't buy an SSD at all on that budget, but to each his own

if it was made in the last 2'ish years, it should have TRIM

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies ikr

@OrigamiRobot if gaming is not his main reason for this PC, it's worth saving a bit on gpu and buying an SSD

if the primary goal was to build a PC for gaming, I'd get rid of SSD and invest in a better gpu

@Chippies ~~I game just fine with no SSD~~ read wropng

@OrigamiRobot that is exactly what I just said

2:39 AM

@OrigamiRobot Same.

typed wrong

the good thing about SSD is, you can put it in your next build or in a laptop if you have to

RPi Awesomeness

@Unionhawk I am planning on adding an HDD + I have 300GB on a USB 3.0 external drive + 100GB from my now-dead (:'( RIP buddy) laptop

@RPiAwesomeness Psh, I'd just use the 30GB and call it a day

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Exactly my thinking. I want the speed and future-proofing an SSD offers. If I can earn enough, I'm going to pay that extra $30 for a 256GB one.

2:41 AM

Put that $70 towards a better CPU and GPU

RPi Awesomeness

ADATA prolly

@OrigamiRobot the bottleneck in PCs is most often the HDD (especially if he's using ancient ones from his old computers)

Future-proofing is not what a $500-$600 budget is for

RPi Awesomeness

I actually have a $15 off coupon from TigerDirect...but I kinda want to save that in case a GPU goes on sale.

@OrigamiRobot True...

@Chippies What was that SSD you suggested?

my wife's PC has a really old PC which kept freezing every time something was accessing the HDD for longer than few seconds

2:42 AM

@RPiAwesomeness I got my R9 280X for $270 :D

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Hath you an SSD you suggest

@OrigamiRobot Niiicee :D

I added an SSD and that thing is like brand new

@RPiAwesomeness when?

5 mins ago, by Origami Robot

I wouldn't buy an SSD at all on that budget, but to each his own

RPi Awesomeness

The SSD you like, some ADATA?

I can vouch for ADATA SX900

RPi Awesomeness

2:43 AM

@OrigamiRobot okay, okay. But if you were going to suggest one, what would you? Not over $120.

I can't in good conscience suggest any SSD when you have a free 300GB sitting right there :P

@RPiAwesomeness That is his suggestion, and I guarantee you won't get anything other than that.

My official suggestion is to use that at least until Cyber Monday

RPi Awesomeness

Sooooo tempted to get this + use $15 off: tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/…

@OrigamiRobot Okay...but what about the boot drive?

@RPiAwesomeness he's not a good person to ask for SSD advice, because he doesn't believe in using one

RPi Awesomeness

2:45 AM

@Chippies True

@RPiAwesomeness Use the 300GB

That's what I would do as well

@OrigamiRobot I believe he said it's a USB external

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot but it's a shared 2TB MyBook

Seriously

2:46 AM

Take it out of the enclosure.

RPi Awesomeness

It's the families HDD

Ohh, well that doesn't count then

RPi Awesomeness

I don't think my parents would look kindly on me taking apart their backup drive :P

@Chippies I am already watching the prices and when I see a 250 for $75 or a 500 for $150, I'll get it.

RPi Awesomeness

@Unionhawk Well, sorta.

2:46 AM

@OrigamiRobot good luck with that

@RPiAwesomeness Can you rip out just the 300 GB and put that in your build?

RPi Awesomeness

lol, no kidding. $75 for a 250...good luk :)

(if the answer is no, it doesn't count)

@Chippies I already missed a deal for $73 on a 250 the other day

RPi Awesomeness

No

2:47 AM

if a 250gb drops under 100$, that's going to be amazing

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Whoa.

@OrigamiRobot could've been a crappy one

by which I mean, ancient model

@Chippies I see them sub-$100 all the time

the first SSDs were dying pretty fast

@OrigamiRobot well, you're from US, right?

I envy your prices

Canadian prices suck

but whatevs

I'm sticking with a HDD for a while as my primary drive, anyway, given that I'm using a sizable portion of this 750 GB drive

RPi Awesomeness

2:49 AM

I really probably went overboard on my PSU...*strongly* considering returning it and getting one of the CX series that seem to be going on sale a lot.

@RPiAwesomeness 500W at $50 seems fine to me

I got a 256gb SSD and my games folder is 160gb...

if I didn't have games on it, I would never be able to fill that thing

user image

And I bet if I fire up WinDirStat, I can free up at least 10GB

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot I know...but I don't need all of 500W and I've seen CX series 430W/500W PSUs for $25...

@OrigamiRobot I'm sure a lot of that is media files of some sorts

so, stuff that doesn't need to be on an SSD

2:51 AM

@Chippies Nope

RPi Awesomeness

Oogh...120GB 840 Evo for $55...dangit, why'd that performance bug have to be a thing.

@OrigamiRobot so, mostly applications?

you don't need all games on SSD

very few games actually benefit from being on an SSD

@RPiAwesomeness performance bug?

user image

RPi Awesomeness

I don't actually have all that many games and I won't be playing those games very often.

Hmm, I'm starting to run out of space myself

RPi Awesomeness

2:52 AM

@Chippies Yeah...gimme a sec

@Chippies If I got the space, why not

user image

teach me your ways, people!

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2g1jfi/…

@OrigamiRobot because you're paying extra for something you don't benefit from

@Chippies That's why I don't have one yet

2:53 AM

@Chippies Don't you lecture me! raises ban hammer

RPi Awesomeness

Performance on older files drops drastically.

@Chippies But if you already have a SSD, you don't pay extra if you fill the thing up

@RPiAwesomeness that's interesting, I hadn't heard of 840 Evo's having issues

@Unionhawk if you have the capacity, by all means - fill it up

RPi Awesomeness

really glad I was able to get a monitor for free + don't have to buy windows, saved me ~$200

@Chippies This, I think, is what the paperbot means

2:54 AM

my point is, you don't need to put all of your games on the SSD, so you don't necessarily need 512gb-1tb+ sized SSDs

If I can get by on 250GB, buying a smaller SSD is a waste of money

@OrigamiRobot I wouldn't buy 120 for myself

RPi Awesomeness

I may actually need to spend some money on a new mouse...mine would seem to have a scroll-wheel on its last legs

@Chippies I think you're reading my drive usage backwards

@OrigamiRobot no, I can see that you're only using 200gb, but I'm sure plenty of that can stay on the HDD

not all of it has to go on SSD

@OrigamiRobot I know...but I don't need all of 500W and I've seen CX series 430W/500W PSUs for $25...

@RPiAwesomeness how much is your 500w?

RPi Awesomeness

CX 430W for $16.

@Chippies But if I'm getting a 250GB, I might as well not use the HDD at all

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies $55

@OrigamiRobot if you can manage with just that then sure

I mean, it seems like you can

Two of my other drives are dead, so I'm 1.5tb low right

I don't understand how, but apparently you can

@OrigamiRobot do you have an external drive or something?

It was under 200GB until I installed Dead RIsing 3

He's a wizard.

@Chippies Nope, that is my only drive

I keep trying to tell myself that it gives me room for a later build + upgrade

my games folder just on the SSD is almost the size of everything on your HDD

Steam folder is 81.4 GB

@RPiAwesomeness is it a good PSU?

@Ktash Was going to post mine but I've been pre-emptively one-upped.

I could be wrong, but I think I have heard some bad things about the lower corsair cx series

I need to clean this thing up

Seriously

I also don't need even close to as much space as I have. The drives are leftover from when lots of storage space mattered.

@StrixVaria It's ok. I'm going to be really terrible and I think I'm going to get a 16tb raid backup here in a couple weeks

@StrixVaria Wait, it doesn't now?!?
