Loved the 3 of them, granted the 3rd a little less so. The 1st one was proper McCall for me. A different spin as I felt the original McCall was a bit more posh, but the Denzel version felt realistic for the character background..... just wanting a simple life after more than a lifetimes worth of...

Exactly that. Complete measure of the man and I think everyone has respected him for it, and respected his privacy since. Deservedly so, his name being mentioned is causing a stir. I don't know how they will do this movie justice, but if they do it could be a real movie moment.

Little quote here on it:

Just bringing this one back up as it's currently quite big news. The biggest thing for me is that Rick Moranis is signed! Such a shame that he had to leave the spotlight all those years ago, but an absolute legend for doing so with the circumstances. Hopefully it's as good as we can imagine...

Didn't want to delete, but had to be moved :ROFLMAO:

Is there a point in time with Balatro where that crave kicks in? I played it a bit and got through a few levels but it seemed very samey to me. The difficulty climb was very steep though so I have a feeling that even to get past where I got to before would take a significant amount more...

Indeed, I was saying it will play them, it just won't be very good ;) Minimum settings is still playing them. GTA 5 would run on one of my old laptops with a rubbish dGPU years ago. I think I managed 10 fps.... it could play games too :ROFLMAO:

Ok, did you install the chipset directly after installing Windows? You need to help us to help you, the more information and feedback we receive the more we can pinpoint what could be wrong. Right now, the only information I have is that you've installed Windows. I don't know the process you...

It's not the way I would go personally. I think you could probably do better off the shelf with that budget, rather than a custom laptop. This budget kind of defeats the purpose of a custom laptop (which tends to be performance). Changes below are the tweaks I would make to your build. The...

In your shoes I would start from scratch. The partitions haven't been done properly either, best to let Windows wipe the entire drive when installing, this will make it much cleaner going forward. Download the Chipset Driver & Control Centre so that they're ready to install after Windows has...

Unfortunately (Custom) Laptops are far more intrinsic than desktops for ensuring proper driver installation. There are a lot of pre-requisites that need to be followed, hence the requirement for detailed information and steps that may seem out of the ordinary. The install needs to be correct...

It's rare that something new(ish) strikes a chord with me these days, but this hit me so hard that I just had to share. Out of the box I know :D You can be a child thinking of a parent or a parent thinking of a child, it just resonates.

The key message here, that I also want to stress, is longevity. That system is far exceeding the budget that you initially laid out, but the massive benefit with going for such a build is rather than spending £1000 now, £1000 in 18 months, 36 months, etc..... You spend £1500(or £1600 now) and to...

Curious question for my own knowledge closet :ROFLMAO: Is auto-clocking a new thing? I'm sure my Octane I had to go into the BIOS to change the profile. IIRC I could do next to hee haw on the RAM outside of choose the pre-configured profile (I don't recall if it was an XMP thing, I think it...

As above, you're right on the cusp of a good 1440p system. If you could stretch the extra budget to just round the corners as suggested by @Ekans2011 you'll be more than happy with your investment. The solid platform means that you're likely looking at 10 years of longevity with GPU upgrades...
