    I believe Kawamori himself said that the VF-31 represented an "evolutionary" design when compared the Sv-262 to him, production-wise. And certainly the in-universe specs reflect that sentiment. There's nothing "wow" about it when you think about it. Last year's model supported this feature but this year's model now bakes it in. If a VF-25 was like a Intel Kaby Lake CPU, then a VF-31 is a Coffee Lake CPU. Everything we see on a VF-31, we've seen it introduced on last year's models. The mini-gunpods on the VF-31's forearms are what comes next from years of the hip-mounted guns. Hip-mounted guns made great anti-infantry munitions but lackluster anti-armor weapons where they would see more use. Making them electromagnetic adds the necessary punch while maintaining ammunition constraints. Standard beam gunpod? Already introduced on the VF-27, and standard on YF-29 and YF-30. Mission-variable pod is just an extension of hardpoints which became the container pod introduced on the YF-30. It's just natively supported now. ISC? Same model found on on the VF-25 but likely revision F or G. Engines between the VF-25 and VF-31 are the same except the VF-31's are Stage 2C. Output is just marginally better. If the VF-25 was an iPhone 6, the VF-31 is the iPhone 6S. Evolutionary. Next year's model. The update model.

    Looks like there's space for 3 more suits from the screens I've seen (1 for each DLC). From the walkthroughs I've seen, the other suits might be saved for the sequel given the stories they've setup for another game.

    Yep. 'Don't feel so bad that I didn't pre-order. I'll grab it when I grab it.

    Colin Trevorrow was original tapped to write and direct Ep 9. He came to blows with management (read Kathleen Kennedy) with his script. The 1st draft was scrapped and another writer was brought on board but that script was trashed and eventually, Lucasfilm let him go. JJ Abhrams stepped back into the writer & director's chair to finish the trilogy. The other Star Wars films are just in development.

    Which is due to a severe dip in character development and storytelling.

    There are 4K HDR, high refresh rate panels on the market now, assuming you want to pay ~$1000 for one. But it depends on what you are doing that requires that much screen real estate with that high refresh rate.

    OK, those are Founder's edition prices. Like HELL I'm buying those. Non-Founders Edition prices: RTX 2800Ti - $999 USD RTX 2080 - $699 USD RTX 2070 - $499 USD

    Nope.

    As are most talking-head Youtube videos. The Picard-series is still in Pre-pre-production stage so we are looking at 2020, at the earliest.
  12. azrael
    Usually, no. Unless you have a 3rd party firmware loaded.

    On the bright side, they found a different artist. Lisa looks less pornstar-posing. But yeah, Rick is a freakin’ Neo now.

    They should be filming the end of the season now so that’s where he will likely show up. Zachary Quinto is coming off a Broadway show and will doing In Search Of so I think that was an automatic “No”. Plus, he probably cost too much just for a short appearance.

    Kiddo, you'll learn that people are very lazy and don't use a search engine to search for stuff. Star Trek Into Darkness Star Trek Beyond Star Trek (2009) etc...

    Haven't done that in ages. CCleaner, registry clean-ups, cleaning scripts which clear out temporary folders at start-up, launching only services and programs that I really need at boot, etc..have kept me from doing a reinstall. The only time I've reinstalled has been with new hardware (namely new CPU and Motherboard) or if I'm upgrading the OS and never looking back. Corporate IT does it because there's a bunch of policies which would take a lifetime to peel back to undo and when people's jobs are based off a a few files that could likely set the company back a few hundred thousand to a few million; time is money and money is time. Get that user back up ASAP. But Corporate IT also have workstation images so they could be up in an hour vs several hours of doing a clean installation.

    ...Or any plot and substantial character development.

    Since Cannon Lake is delayed to late 2019, Coffee Lake will be you upgrade option this year and next year. Cannon Lake should retain socket 1151. Maybe? We might get a new socket for Ice Lake (2019-2020?)
  20. azrael
    Anyone running a Ryzen 2 system after these few months of release? With Cannon Lake now pushed to 2019, we’re stuck with Coffee Lake (not counting Kaby Lake G either). Coffee Lake CPUs have been going on sale so it’s probably time for me to start putting down money. And AMD is still flashing that neon sign at me.

    Before this thread gets any more drawn out that it already is, I would urge restraint before posting.

    I try to piece it together a bit at a time based on what I can work on at the time. I recently upgraded my case in prep for a new system. I'm looking at better support for a 240mm radiator and going all in for USB 3.x. I also found my case on sale at Newegg so there's no time like the present for this one. Next up, power supply. While there's nothing wrong with my current one, its pushing 8 or 9 years now. The GTX970 should last a bit longer and considering Nvidia is still not talking about the 1100-series, I'd consider the graphics as a toss-up. When the 1100-series comes out, that might drop the prices on 1000-series cards and cause a crypto-currency buying frenzy. That would dry up the 1000-series cards. 1100-series would also make the 1000-series cards old tech. But then again, 1070 Tis are in stock and the prices aren't being jacked-up so buy now and suffer or buy later and suffer. Mobo+CPU+RAM is an all-at-once. No way to avoid this combo. I would probably pull the trigger here if you decide to skip the GPU.

    ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ TV Reboot in Development From Joss Whedon, Monica Owusu-Breen 7 seasons of Buffy was enough from Whedon and he wants to do...more?

    Awwww. Jodie’s natural Yorkshire-accent.

    They can get away with it since streaming services are not bound by FCC guidelines (excessive blood, nudity, blah blah blah).
