Why does Square Enix still "Hold" your email address even when you cancel your account? Now I cant create a new one with the same email... wtf is up?

unless SE decides to jump forward 20 years or so then yes
Well what is the support ticket I need to send to get my account back so I can change the email and then cancel it again... oh wait does changing your email work? or does it save that too? since you used it once you can never use it again?

oh yeah makes sense I guess.... welp time to make a second Email account :D
this shit pissed me off hard, but game looks cool

okay one more question, I made a new account now. the next thing is to download the game, do I need to download it from their link to be able to play the free trial till lvl60 or can I just download it through steam and login with the new account I made?
@sharp star
sleek canopy
if your free trial account is from Steam, then Steam
wait wdym? you login with your square enix account anyway right?
sleek canopy
but you can't make the free trial account from steam?
I am confused
what, I can't change my username when I login through steam??? WTF

People usually recom you play ffxiv without steam
that is a shame... but I see now why

I assume it didn't have TRIM at all on XP? Although I think if you turned off the page file it should be okay
XP was meh to me bc it had a lot of memory bloat. I used Win2K until shortly before Win7 came out. I think I used XP for like 6-9 months or so bc they stopped updating the video drivers for 2K.
eg: Average boot to desktop on 2K was about 75mb ram, but you could cut it to as low as like 52mb while still having networking stack. XP was 150mb...
I realized now I don't even remember what the memory usage was like on Win7 bc ram amount outstripped OS needs by a lot starting around that time

lmao check this
On a USB-C port using USB3, the USB3 TX and RX signals have to be routed to two different pin groups, depending on the plugged-in cable orientation. In a proper design, you would have a multiplexer chip detecting cable orientation, and routing the pins to one or the other. Turns out, quite a few manufacturers are choosing to wire up two separate ports to the USB-C connector instead.

Any suggestions on where to look for entertainment centers around 60 inches wide? I've been browsing Wayfair, but I'm not sure how much I trust the quality of the items they sell.
Looking for something with a lot of shelves, I have a few consoles.
sly elk
Meh. I find them to be fine. If you find something you like, try feeding the picture into google images and seeing if anyone else sells it. Usually they do.
If you're not going with some kinda local custom furniture, chances are it's made by a chinese wholeseller and a bunch of furniture stores carry it online.
so like, amazon, home depot, bed bath and beyond, etc
overstock.com is another
walmart and target also sell stuff online, i think so do jcpenney and macys
modest moss
ikea
sly elk
but of course
buoyant falcon
Well the thing about Wayfair is that some of the stuff on there only has reviews in the hundreds.
I could be wrong, but I believe that Wayfair's whole thing is that a lot of their furniture is seasonal, so none of it's on there for long.
Granted they probably do just rotate the same furniture on the site on and off and just sell it under different names.
Kinda like what mattress stores do so that customers can't compare prices.
Also, I'm still astonished that JC Penney hasn't gone under yet.

No what I mean is overlooking a window like that, It doesn't have to be in high-rise apartment. Would you feel ok seeing someone checking on your window and your setup from outside?

looks like a bad setup functionally...
It's much better overlooking wall afterall..

if you just vent the room properly you can avoid a lost of the condensation and it doesnt necessarily have to harm anything near the window
just gotta properly control humidity and temperature in the room

So the last time Radeon was competitive was before AMD bought ATI?
dull garnet
that's CPU
odd sand
And I feel like the reason for the "parity" in 2020 was peoples lack of even being able to get ahold of an Nvidia card, or them being too marked up. Bc you see the split happen again immediately as supply improved
OIC
Those 2006 numbers seem odd then, bc AMD releasing the X2 dual cores was one of their high points against Intel
Intel was late to the market on that and their implementation was flawed until the Core i-series started with the Core i7 920 etc.

I’ve discovered if you turn off your FPS counter gaming becomes significantly better
dull garnet
well doi

I still remember playing Lego island on my crappy packard bell running at 5 FPS and I didn’t even care I just assumed that’s how games ran lmao
modest moss
I turn on fps counter for first time setup to make sure I'm not going below like 45fps on highest settings and find a happy medium then I'm good to go
dull garnet
i played cyberpunk with some ambitious settings at around 35~45 fps and it was fine
odd sand
1% and 5% fps numbers are more important than high max fps, but at a certain level it still feels sluggish if you have to mouselook and you only have like 30-45fps

i wanted side distro more cuz its more convenient but dont think it had a d5 option only ddc

hmm
my case has room for a side distro, but only 360mm top/front radiators. I could shove a 120mm on the back, but a bottom radiator would be tricky
in theory I could fit a 280mm no problem
despite having a bottom chamber and a very seemingly obstructive grille, the bottom intake is also by far the best intake my case has
sorry for chiming in like that 😄
not trying to make the convo about me, it's just I find custom loop setups fascinating at times

Yeah it feels like at this point they should have done a rollup install that's just all of the C++ redists and included it in Windows already. It can't be that large of an install
sly elk
it's too much lol
i heard it was still faster than a 3090ti though o_O
so in that sense, at least the price/performance is going down
but it kinda sounds like name inflation imho
the 4090 should've been called a titan
the 4080 should've been called a 4090, and the 4070ti should've been called a 4080
then the pricing would make more sense
it kinda makes sense, given the 4070ti was called a 4080 to begin with 😄
meh I still remember right after the 20 series launched, i bought a new 1070ti for $379 >>

I preferred the X inflation

I don't like the choked-off ones either

CAM is extraordinarily bad
The cooling on the cases aren't the best, but I've hadn't had much issue with last gen
I havnt started any new gen builds this year in an NZXT so we will see if I cause a fire
Been using Corsair 4000D and fractal pop cases mostly

O11 Dynamic was that way, and the Hyte Y60 or w/e with the beveled corner

Same reason why I can put a vision series card/motherboard into a case and upcharge 10%

One of the cases that sell really well here too
Makes sense, they're aesthetically pleasing without costing too much money
I like my Corsair 570X. The design is about 5 years old now, but despite being glass, there is enough space for airflow around the edges that temps aren't a problem
