No cloud save for BG3 on GOG! [as of Sept 2023]

Currently, as of September 4th 2023, there are no cloud save for Baldur’s Gate 3 on GOG. The Larian Studio cloud save has been disabled and GOG has not enabled their cloud save functionality. Therefore, the current option is to manually copy your saves from one PC/device to another. The saves can be found here: LOCALAPPDATA%/Larian Studios/Baldur’s Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public/Savegames/Story Hopefully in the near future (maybe when the PS5 version is released) Larian will re-enable cloud saves for ALL platforms!

Catching up to DraftKings, promo code

So just to tell you how out of the loop I am when it comes to TV and sports these days, the first time I heard about DraftKings and FanDuel… was on a news article about how they were spending upwards of $150,000,000.00 on advertising ($150 million). Other sites peg spending for the foreseeable future at closer to $250 million. Those figures definitely piqued my interest, and thankfully a visit to my in-laws and a vacation to Yellowstone provided enough TV viewing in homes and

Mini-itx AM1 gaming system w/discrete video card and DC PSU!

Mike sent me some info and photos of his awesome mini-itx system: I crammed the AM1H-ITX along with a 5350, a Kingston HyperX 4gb DDR3-1600 stick, Slimline DVD-Rom, Microcenter house brand120gb SSD, a couple 40mm fans, and an EVGA GTX 750 2GB (non-ti) into a Travla C158 case. I’m powering it with a DC power brick (part number 316688-001 or spare 317188-001) from either a beefy HP laptop or possibly a docking station. The specs are 18.5v, 6.5a, 120 watts.

“you are not signed in” message – Duke Nukem Forever multiplayer

My buddy Kevin and I were trying to play some Duke Nukem Forever the other day and I encountered an error when trying to access the multiplayer portion (i.e. the options were grayed out). So if you are playing DNF and get a message similar to this: You are not signed in. You must be signed in to access online content. then it is likely all you need to do is exit Steam and the re-signin to resolve the issue 🙂

Best monitor resolution for SC2?

Q. I read your blog and it looks like you and I share a common interest in Starcraft 2. Can you recommend which is the best resolution for SC2 from a competitive point of view? -Elly Edge A. For maximum Starcraft 2 competitive advantage, you will definitely want a monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio* as that aspect ratio lets you see the largest amount of terrain. 🙂 Here is an imagine that illustrates the difference between 16:9, 16:10 and

New video card for 4K UHD and Starcraft 2 SC2 HotS

Every four years or so I invest in a new video card. The latest edition, ordered today, is the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 2GB card. I actually meant to order a BOOST edition but somewhat mistakenly ordered the ‘OC’ edition. 🙁 However, I like the overall features of the card and if it performs well enough I will keep it. 🙂 Otherwise, I may return it and look at a GTX 760. My general usage scenarios will be
