PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Modern Routers

Last post by targetrasp - April 03, 2026, 01:44:44 PM

I didn't think $280 was bad either, and it's pretty superior to most set ups I've found for multiple devices and the network speeds offered in my area. I did goof a bit, the most recent iterations of google, samsung, and apple phones come with wifi 7 (802.11be). Had I spent a little more time researching I would have gotten one of the u7 pro APs which sits in the $180 range, adding about $60 to the spend. There are ubiquiti ap6 and ap7 lite models and are both cheaper than my ap6+ which still work great but are better for smaller spaces or less wireless devices than I have.

I'm very impressed with it still. I appreciate the multitude of logs and analytics as well as the stability. I've still not experienced lag spikes or buffer bloat. My only tiny complaint is the site manager. It takes some getting used to. If you're used to the more standard home brands, Linksys, Belkin, Asus, etc. Ubiquiti is not nearly as intuitive when it comes to the sight manager Those with experience in the business space will be more at home. All the features are there; all be it slightly harder to find.

I think it's still pretty far off, at least. You can save up money to buy it! Or beat something you can trade in towards it.

General Discussion / Doom II Pantera Stolen Riff

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 02, 2026, 07:58:07 AM

LOL... I happened to see this on Youtube when checking out a few music related jams this morning.  We know there were some very influential songs that had impact on the Music of Doom and Doom II.  There is NO DOUBT certain riffs were used in the games... and this is well known.  However, I thought this side by side comparison was cool.   

so ... Did they steal or borrow the riff? 



What do you think?  Post it up!

I was listening to Chappelle Roan most recently. I like how she goes from kind of 80s sounding pop (Hot-to-go) to modern pop (Subway).

Nice!   I will check that out!   

yeah... for some reason, I'm a bit everywhere music wise.  I'm now listening to Kickstart my heart lol - heard it on a movie recently and it stuck:



@targetrasp mentioned he's on a hair metal kick too lol

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Re: Halo: Campaign Evolved

I guess I'm just not as surprised since Halo and Gears of War have already been on PC a long time. It wasn't so far a jump for it to hit PS5.

This is a fair point.  I always associated the PC move with Microsoft and Windows... but not another competing company.  The PC move happened a long time ago... I think Halo was ported in 2003?  But again, it was on a Microsoft platform. If I remember right, Halo 2 was 2006 or 2007 and had to do with Windows Vista.  This was on Games for Windows... or Games for Windows Live.  That new platform, if I remember right, that hit Vista. 

It took a very long time for Reach, ODST and Halo 3 (etc) to be available on PC.   I guess it has been about 5-6 years since the Master Chief collection has been on PC (time flies).  I believer this is more of why it blew my mind to see Halo on PlayStation 5.

I loved this game on the Gamecube! As soon as I get a Switch 2 I'm going to play this

@Mai Valentine  -- This is one I totally missed...  I fired it up the other day.  Didn't have time to play a ton.  However, I'm looking to get into this a bit and see what it was about

I was thinking back on the Gamecube days... It's hard to believe that was so long ago.  There was something magical about that time period as well.  IDK.. magical sounds weird to me... just something really good about those days and a mystic in the Gamecube that hasn't been there for more recent consoles.

I am now also excited for the next Fire Emblem game, since it seems to be connected to Three Houses in some way.

@Mai Valentine - I didn't hear this!  Looks like it is called Fortunes Weave?   Oh man...    I don't need it... I don't need it...  You might have killed my streak of my not buying games lol

I watched the anime before I played the mainline games. The first game I bought was Pokemon Silver because the Pokemon 2000 movie made me a huge fan of Lugia. I've played a game from every generation since then. Gen 2 holds a special place in my heart but my favorite generation is 9. Pokemon Sword/Shield are my least favorite but Legends Arceus is really good so I can't write off gen 8.
