Here's my workstation setup. I like large desk surfaces, so I just used a 10' countertop slab from Home Depot. :blush: The "monitor" is a 32-inch 1080p Sharp TV, which works surprisingly well for both games and work (I'm an aging Software Engineer, so the larger fonts in Visual Studio on a 32" screen are wonderful). :laugh:

It's a bit of a mess compared to other setups here, but it gets the job done. LOL. I could probably use a KVM and better cable management, too.

No offense intended but that wallpaper looks like it was designed for a 7 year old. So does the bedspread. If you're that young, please don't take offense. But if you're older than that, hello Jeffrey Dahmer!

Nice range of PCs, though!

Yeah, I know. The room was designed when I was probably about 10, and now I'm 22. I've been meaning to redo it for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it.

calendar is a bit off.

Like the above, I haven't gotten around to getting a new one yet, and I probably won't. Heh.

The only thing I can imagine is that it'd be a hell to wake up in such room with a hangover.

I have that same keyboard and I do game with it :p

As do I :p

that's the wired version right? Do you play FPS's? If you do, did you just change the "W" key from being move forward because when I had the wired version for all of one day, the keyboard wouldn't do W + Shift + Space Bar at the same time. It's a known defect with those things. So in FPS', no running and jumping until you change the controls. I bought the wireless version which doesn't have that problem.

Chucked in a 3rd screen, got the Macbook hooked up to the 1st display. My main windows box on the 2nd monitor and a old machine running Ubuntu 11.04 as a web server and to view Facebook...

All controlled through one keyboard and mouse using Synergy, SynergyKM (Mac), QSynergy (Windows) and Quick Synergy (Ubuntu). Setting up and using TeamViewer, TightVNC, XAMPP and Hamachi to communicate these 3 machines with a friend to develop some PHP has been a challenge, but a fun one nonetheless :)

I really hate wireless keyboards. The only use for them are HTPCs. I hate having batteries to mess with. LOL.

Any serious gamer would stay wired... totally not cool to change your batteries in the middle of a fragfest or an epic raid on a big monster in an MMO.... happened to me once!!!!!

I want one of those awesome Logitech ones with the LCD screen on them.

I have an HP media center pc that needs the KB batteries replaced once a week. LOL. I had a MS KB that was the same.

I used the MS KB when I played WoW back in nov 2009. had to replace them in the middle of a huge raid.... not cool LOL.

it's worse when it happened in a much harder MMO called tibia (old school snes styled one) and I died and lost a lot of loot!

but yeah I really want that awesome logitech KB though still.

I've heard more people with that same issue. There are no issues like that on my side when I play FPS's. I did have issues with the wireless version though. Logitech sent me the wired version as a fix as I didn't want to have a 2nd wireless version which could have the same issues.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
