ok, i'm not into sports and i've never posted here, but northwestern university just had a great game last night against ohio state. osu was expected to win (they're ranked 6), but we somehow maintained the lead and won. we rushed the field, went to party at a pub downtown, and then there was an afterparty with all my friends at a friend's place.

did anyone catch the game? or does anyone care? haha.

go purple!

i really dont care about sports at all, i think theyre a waste of time, but im partial to OSU b/c im from Columbus and my parents and sister went there... they should have won, yes, but thats typical OSU for you... choke when theyre expected to win... i think they get cocky... their game against marshall they only one by a fieldgoal at the last second.. stupid.

but osu lost to us, which is really funny, since we're not that good.

they had a huge fanbase on campus. it was nuts. like a thousand reds and maybe a few hundred of us purples. at least that's what it looked like to me while i was pigging out at the tailgate party.

brochaos, michigan will beat us for sure. :D

a lot of the top 15 is overrated. WVU and LSU come to mind. it's too early in the season, they are just being ranked off how they finished last year.

Well, LSU is now #24. And after this coming weekend against Florida they will be out of the top 25 ;)

I wish you guys hadn't beaten them...I'm at Wisconsin, and frankly the LAST thing we need next week is to face a recently beaten Ohio team that STILL wants our blood on the floor. Hell, its bad enought we have to play Purdue the week after, you guys just made our life harder. Bah...

With the way WVU has been playing, they are overrated. We are top 5 playing level when our damn team shows up, but they haven't showed up yet. Look at it this way- WVU played like total ass and still had a chance to win the game vs VT. Lots of things need to be done regarding team discipline, its rediculous.

Oh well. I'll take the Big East BCS bid.

But yes. Watching tOSU get beat was one of the sweetest sights ever.

I went to the game and the atmosphere was just amazing. I'm pretty sure there were more OSU fans at the stadium than NU, but I thought we made our presence felt.

Offtopic, what are you doing now dreamz? I thought you were done and graduated?...

i'm still around. i got a job in skokie, so i'm working there during the week, but since i still live in evanston (hinman/main), i go up to campus every week to hang out with my friends. you should come by my place sometime, man. :)

    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
