The third Avatar film, fire and ice is out this month, not seen the second one yet but is anyone still interested in this series of films as their seems to no buzz about it.

I was thinking about building a new am5 system but with crazy prices for ram it has gone out the window and I will stick to just upgrading the current one

Seen the crazy prices for ddr4 which have double since the start of the year and the absolutely insane price of ddr5. Now with the announcement of one the three major makers of ram, adandoning the consumer market is anything witch uses memory about to take a price hike.

New video dropped for the game, not had a chance to watch it. Love the concept of time dilation but with no ship or space combat My interest is low.

<t>Not been playing the game for about a month now as I was waiting to see if we would get any news/ content from the game awards, apparently not which is not that unexpected.<br/>
Mod wise, again nothing much although the free mod welcome to arinya looks interesting and most of the paid mods are ...

 
D1 next time you in can you ban a couple of bots, by the names of Ervinsalesgroup and Luxymeets, been making themselves a nuisance the last couple of weeks.
Might also be worthwhile purging the member list as well.

The quote is from an early issue of retro gamer magazine and their first Elite article. It is the only reference I have ever seen as to why the Atari 8bits never got a version of the game.
Used a joystick all the time with Elite only used the keyboard when docked.

Turns out it was a dying video card, now gone through my stash of card and try and work out what the two Nvidia are, as I don't want to use as ATI one.

<t>Just based on watching the video I do like the graphic style of the game as it gives it an almost submarine feel which is a good fit for a space game. Not keen on having fleets as just descend into micro management, but that just me, other love it.<br/>
got some atmosphere music playing in the ...

<t>40+ years later the Atair 8bit computer gets a version of Elite, can be run on real hardware or emulator and has a demo of the game out now. <br/>

Bought space marine 2 in the recent steam sale but have not got around to downloading it yet

Think a lot of people are starting to use Linux now, guess the end of windows 10 support is hitting hard.
It's alive my windows 98 machine is showing signs of life but I may swap out the hard drive for a sd card in the future, the xp one is still dead as a dodo.

The mod looks good but I will not be trying out as I like the game as is.
Their are few startrek mods as well for ships and uniforms.

The appeal of using old hardware for me is that I get to put together system which I could never afford when the components were new, like I'm going to try buildings a sli build next.

Seem that both my xp and 98 builds have died with the click of death, time for a rebuild.  

Started playing Jedi survivor and have been pretty disappointed by it. The game maybe bigger and has more features than the first, but it feels like it's been made by a committee with a check list to be ticked off. Also the PS4 has a number of bug in it.

<t>Had a quick play around with it in creative mode so I don't need to do any of the grind for the parts and apart from a bit of a janky camera view <br/>
it is pretty good although nothing you can't find in a number of other games.<br/>
Great to see that they updated the PS4 version as well will ...

They dropped a teaser trailer yesterday with a hidden title of Terran Armada but what it is nobody knows.

Not at as dead as click bait YouTuber would have you believe, check the last minute.

Very nice update to the game, I may even start playing again.
