  1. I'm sure that happens a lot, and the 32 daddy play groups they're in have nothing to do with it.
  2. The number of people willing to pay for it will be inversely proportional to the amount of time LL spends implementing it.
  3. At All Hallows finally getting my X-Box controller's flycam settings working. Gonna try some filming tonight. I'm excited. This is my excited face.
  4. "Several" = two seven year old cards. Until Apple and Nvidia kiss and make up, just get an AMD card.
  5. Not enough to count the triangles in my hair. Sometimes when I get the message that my avatar's complexity is 39,770 and some people may not be able to view me properly, I laugh a little.
  6. Those are states that don't have Goodwill outlets. I'm sure they all have Goodwill retail stores (does it seem plausible that there are no Goodwills in Massachusetts or Mississippi?). Yeah, a lot of thrifts don't like computers for some reason, but they tend to be overflowing with monitors and peripherals.
  7. What state doesn't have thrift stores?
  8. The ads for computers he's asking about are all located in the US.
  9. Sure, so will a lot of computers that don’t cost almost $400 and cook their own GPU. If I spend that kind of money on a computer, it had better be able to run basic shaders.
  10. It would probably be good to see how SL runs on some different computers to get an idea about what people are going on about with CPUs and graphics cards. I have a bunch of computers around here, and one of them is a "regular" HP (just a plain jane 17" Pavillion) with an AMD A8 like one of those you asked about in the other thread. A8-4500 (1.9GHz quad core), 8GB RAM and a 240GB SSD. It's not a bad computer, but it's not a "gaming" computer by any stretch of the imagination. You can dial in the graphics settings so that SL is usable, but it's very slow (I was getting around 9fps in a moderately busy region with plain, undemanding builds). Can you run SL on it? Yes. Would I use one for my daily driver? No way. If you're going to use SL a lot, you want the fastest CPU and best GPU you can afford.
  11. No, it's not. It has an AMD GPU, which is good, but they're all defective, which is not so good. It's obsolete and can't run new versions of the mac OS. It's an expensive, obsolete computer with a graphics card that will eventually self destruct.
  12. Just because someone uses the word “gaming” to describe the computer doesn’t mean they’re being honest about it. An AMD A8 is a good clue it isn’t really a gaming computer. Well, Minesweeper is a game, right? If you’re looking for an HP gaming computer, their gaming lineup has “Omen” in the name. They market some Pavillions as gaming computers, but a gaming laptop probably looks like a gaming laptop, not like it belongs at the cheap end of the computer display at Best Buy.
  13. I think it’s safe to say no, it would not work best. Without knowing what’s in it, it’s impossible to say if it would be acceptable or not. Intel graphics runs a whole range, from not being able to run SL at all to not great, not terrible. What I would look for is the fastest Intel Core i5 or i7 I could afford, with the best Nvidia graphics, About 8GB of memory and an SSD. Preferably in a Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude or some kind of Alienware gaming computer.
  14. Getting smooth flycam recordings with an X-Box controller is really hard.
  15. I can't wait for Linden Lab to turn my Mac's R9 M395 into a GTX 1080ti.
  16. I want to see the work behind the 60% figure.
  17. I think I'll be okay. As long as they don't start talking about eating bugs.
  18. People who don't let the fact that they don't know what they're doing keep them from trying to fix something and making it worse.
