  1. The P18e is just a model number. This laptop has different names depending where you are in the world, Ranger, 17, 17R1, M17X R5 all have P18e stamped on bottom cover. The motherboard on these has LVDS and EDP connectors If the current screen is LVDS then its 60hz You could buy 120hz screen and EDP cable, that might (or might not work) with Quadro card. @Mogrules named the correct EDP cable here https://www.nbrchive.net/xfa/alienware-17-and-m17x.1079/120Hz 3D Screen upgrade for Alienware 17 R1/
  2. If we are talking old school....then Mechwarrior 2 is my choice. I first bought this as DOS version then few months later Windows95 version was released. I played through 24hrs straight then walked outside and puked from motion sickness (the mech cockpit bounces ingame) Good old days
  3. I just downloaded. Will give it a spin this weekend. Thank you for the link
  4. Lemmings......wow. I used to play that on Amiga
  5. Ive lived in Japan 5 years now and I gotta say......Japanese people are weirder than those wtf Japan memes
  6. Yes I had forgotten that one.......and Im an original half life fan
  7. The first Jelly and Atom phone were 2.4" screens and typing was fine (and Ive got huge hands) it was things like navigation and google translate (the instant camera translate) that were problems. Jelly battery also was terrible. The Atom L or XL has 4" screen and I think thats a much better size all round. I will stick with this for a while.

    Astronomy

    I'm one of those weirdos that would love to take a one way trip to Mars https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/seeing-things-on-mars-a-history-of-martian-illusions/ss-AATtxlY?li=BB122uej#image=1
  9. I did a sideload of Quake (or maybe quake 2, dont remember) anyway the fast paced motion on that made me feel queasy real quick. Yes I have heard of Boneworks. I will try that and have a look for Zenith. Thank you for suggestions @HWI @Tenoroon @cucubits
  10. So a while ago now I bought an Oculus Quest. (The first one not second) I played beat saber mostly, did some side loading. Watched some YouTube VR exploration videos. Tried to get skyrim VR tethered on my AW17 Anyway my son stole it for a while and I havent seen it in over year or so and now he is moving out and wants to return it. Has anything magical happened with these? some great game Im missing out on? Interesting hacks?
  11. Unihertz Atom L Its small screen, built like a brick. Before this I had Unihertz Atom...smaller size but looks same. And before that a Unihertz Jelly (What can I say..I hate apple products and I prefer a smaller phone in my pocket....these rugged phones suit my lifestyle) https://www.unihertz.com/collections/all-products/products/atom-l
  12. You may (or may not?!) like BSG Battle Star Galactica. Role turn space combat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMCFrz_Aiv0
  13. Been watching the TV series Blade Runner:Black Lotus.
  14. Im kinda liking the name Efgxt.net.....Ef-Gext. Sounds like swearing at someone in Polish or Romanian or something. (But I live in Japan now so trying to wrap my mouth around letters that dont resemble any word I could even try to imagine is...normal)
  15. I drive a 2003 FairladyZ (z33) or 350Z for you Yanks. But the car I dream of is the second car I owned. 1972 Ford XB sedan.
  16. I would also say thanks to Reciever and Hiew. NBR was my goto everyday. Not much hardware tweaking any more but windows "fixes", Random topics and Pics, Games that people liked to play and just a general community of people with a similar interest. So... Love your work Fellas
