#9 DisplayPort(DP)? in Hardware

Do you own a dual-link dvi cable (it's a special dvi cable) and does your graphics card have a slot to plug it into?

Did you plug it into the dual-link dvi slot of your card? Does it even have such a slot?

#4 no man's sky in Other Games

I won't preorder. Single-player random generated games are all about how good the random gen is and how many/what kind of human-created elements there are in the game. There is just absolutely no telling if this game will be fantastic or garbage without having seen real gameplay.

SpaceCadetthe301stspartanActually another thing just came to mind about the fire scene:
Show Content
Since when do the dothraki worship dragons, or dragon-people? Dragons eat horses. And the dothraki hate magic! Why don't they immediately declare dany a witch and have a horse stomp on her head? If dany knew the dothraki would submit to her just by displaying her fire resistance, why did she ever leave them in the first place? She had already discovered her powers when she was still with the horde, so why didn't she just take over then? After drogo died, she could've done this whole show and she would've had her army. She could've taken her dragons to the dothraki at any time to get a huge army and would've probably had enough men to deal with the sons of the harpy easily.
Is there any explanation for why this didn't happen? What happens in the books?

A few things:

I don't see anywhere that the Dothraki "worship dragons or dragon-people". Like mostly any warrior culture, the Dothraki respect strength above all else. Walking through an inferno after killing all the living Karl's is about as powerful a sign of strength as you can get. Even more powerful will be her riding a fully grown dragon (or 3) into battle.

Then why hasn't some back-alley witch taken over the dothraki yet? If this is true

In a very dry atmosphere like that with dry rushes covering the bare ground and torches filled with oil that would run out over the floor quickly I could see the building going up that quickly.

and all you need to do to kill all the Khals is to throw over a torch, then surely a witch such as the one that killed an unborn baby and made drogo catatonic with magic could've warded herself against fire or created an illusion of herself in the fire melisandre-style and taken over the whole shop instead of being raped and sold into slavery.

Maybe you are right, but the way I understand the Dothraki, it doesn't seem to me like their reaction to an obviously foreign woman killing all their leaders using magic would be submission. Maybe after at least some of them have tried
beating her to a pulp and failed, but just like that?

The only explanation that makes sense to me is that there just hasn't been any opportunity to strike at all the Khals at once like that and that the dothraki were impressed because she finished them all off at once. I guess I can live with that.

As far as the Army, the Dothraki are a nomadic people so they will not thrive in a city environment. She would not have asked or taken the Dothraki army to Astapor, Yunkai or Meereen had Drogo lived. The Dothraki are, in essence, one of the best types of armies you can recruit to conquer massive stretches of land. They travel long distances and fight as a horde with numbers. They resemble the Mongolians of Asia and how unstoppable they were in that form of combat. If you put an army like that in a city like Kings Landing, they will never survive.

But wasn't that precisely Drogo's plan when he was alive? Sail to Westeros and conquer all the cities? And it seems to be her plan once more now, so I'm kinda confused why this happens now. Did she only think of it now taht she was captured? Possible I guess, but somewhat weird.

#51 GoT season 6 in Music, Movies, TV

In the season 5 thread I wrote that I don't think it's a problem that Dany doesn't do much,

Show Content
but now I have to say,I do find it a bit irritating how this character never fails and repeatedly wins everything by doing nothing just because she happens to be immune to fire. She literally has the plot armor written into her character. Btw, was that dothraki temple doused in gasoline, has she acquired dragon-like powers offscreen and controlled it, or are we just supposed to believe dry ground burns like that?

The scene was still cool, but my favorite scenes so far are actually the ones where characters are talking, kings landing scenes are all really good, tyrion+varys still best characters and even mel doesn't seem to be insufferable anymore. Liking S6 a lot so far.

Standing up while gaming will obviously ruin your spine unless you happen to have a 170cm high desk

#18 Evolve's TF2 FPS Config in Customization

"They" are the people in the forum you posted your stuff in for feedback. And it doesn't suck, it's just possibly not as good and most likely not an improvement over existing configs, so people are completely right in pointing out that you should rather put your efforts into something else if you haven't discovered new methods that make your config perform better than other ones in benchmarks. There are only so many variables you can change in tf2 to improve performance.
