With most MOOCs (massive open online courses), there can be literally thousands of students taking part in a given class. There are professors who are quite committed to the MOOCs they’ve created and they set aside personal time to participate in forum like discussions, but it can impact their professional work. Most…

My computer burst into flames just watching this video. What kind of computer does this guy have? Jeez.

I paid for a Corolla instead of a Lexus. I used the $200 something dollars I saved on going Nvidia and got a 144hz monitor. I expected at least some comparable performance for what I paid for. I’ve gone back and forth between AMD and Nvidia over the years, but I go AMD most of the time for the cost-performance ratio.…

Now that I think about it, most games I’ve picked up have all been open world types. That just seems to be the big thing now for whatever reason. I’ve had issues mainly with GTA V and Fallout 4, and the fun game has been figuring out which propietary graphic feature is eating my frames. With Fallout 4, it was narrowed…

My impression has been that Nvidia peeps have been having at least a bit of a better time of it. I’m just looking at games like GTA V at (PC) launch and Witcher 3. I got GTA V at launch and ran into a boatload of problems and it took awhile before AMD addressed it. I was late to the party with Witcher 3, but I heard…

Try turning off them dograys. While the lack of dog residue is disheartening, it did help quite a bit with my performance. Outdoors still dips between 19(!) - 50fps for me, but it was better than before. Indoors shoots up to 100fps+. I’m guessing it’s how the game renders the environment or something since there’s a…

I feel like I bet on the wrong race horse this gen. I went with AMD’s 290 aaaannnd every game that has been released has been met with some sort of awful hiccup in performance. I just wanted to save a few hundies. AMD has been so slow with updates. It’s been frustrating.

I’m bothered by this trend, lately, with larger studios releasing games that run poorly on decent machines. I felt cool for all of one month when I bought my 290x, and then everything else post Dragon Age: Inquisition wavered around 30-45fps on high. Did games really get that much beefier or is it just tiffs between…

(Most) Buddhists are pretty chill. It’s just something fun to do. Plus, most temples run largely on donations like other religious institutions do. Also, I’m not sure about this one, but the one’s here in the greater Los Angeles area offer classes/meals to kids, give out food to the needy, and do other general…

Hi Prince. Sorry, us folks in Eastern Asia like to mix in your philosophy with our culture and superstitions. I just want to let you know that I successfully prevented cats from jumping over the casket my grandmother was in, so I was able to prevent her from returning from the dead to haunt us. But, you probably knew…

Why would I want to live cancer free when I’m not free to look at computer jumbly bits :( What sort of life is that!?!

You can do it, Chikubi. I believe in you.

I ate at a Korean bbq restaurant shortly after buying Splatoon at launch.

It’s not good? I... I can’t... no... I don’t believe it

Well, isn’t Ash eternally 10 years old or something?

I want this guy to have a bright future in practical effects for film.

Thanks, I can’t UNSEE it now.
