Can you just add a small ssd card?

I don't have an SSD card reader. I'm thinking about adding more permanent space because I've also run out of USB slots and my USB extension is full too

 

[Michael682]

Just add another drive!!! That's been my motto for the last few years. Lmao

When I built my current rig earlier this year, I deleted a few games and got down to 6 drives

Actually just got done doing this - adding an additional SSD due to looking at Starfield and its massive size

 

[Michael682]

I bought Baldurs Gate 3!

I just don't have any space on my harddrive

Difficult choices will be made tonight

So - what got culled and what survived?

A lot of games that I haven't touched in over a year. Managed to get 300+ GB back, half of which is needed for BG3.

I'll be playing it tomorrow after it installs

Nice recovery. Even gives you room for another big title.

You don’t need a reader. Most motherboards have a place to add one. Is it a desktop or laptop?

Great news!!

I'm in the process of re-reading all of the Terry Pratchett Discworld novels - doesn't get much better than that

I have never been able to read his last book. After he died I just sat it aside. I haven’t reread his books in years. I think I lost most of them in a flood last year. I may need to start rebuying them for my kindle.

I own almost all of them in physical form, so I felt ok with a quick torrent download - now I have them available on my phone anytime.

Nice same here. I have owned them all at one time. I even felt like the movies they made were good. I can hardly say that about movies adapted from books!

I need to start over and re-read them all. I have my daughter hooked on the Tiffany Aching series. Have you read the Long Earth series? I really enjoyed it.

I read it... I cried... it was honestly one of the celebrity deaths that hit me the hardest... right up there with Gord Downey but that's probably a Canadian thing...

I have. Very enjoyable series.

Anyone else watching Ahsoka?

 

[Saltfountain]

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Anyone else watching Ahsoka?

No not yet. Without giving anything away do I need to watch Rebels first? Seen Clone Wars. Mando and Boba too.

I will watch it all obviously, just haven't yet.

 

[SherlockianMan]

Anyone else watching Ahsoka?

Yes, really enjoying it so far.

Also already crushing on the actress playing Sabine.

 

[TheMrBurns]

No not yet. Without giving anything away do I need to watch Rebels first? Seen Clone Wars. Mando and Boba too.

I didn't watch either and I genuinely felt like half the show was lost on me. Which, to me anyway, is a huge failing for a lot of Disney media these days.

*Rant imcoming*

I just want to enjoy a show or a movie without needing to have seen three other movies and two other TV shows oh and you better be playing Fortnite too or you'll miss an important detail. If the callbacks were subtle it would be better, but there are long, pregnant pauses in the story telling where it's obvious they're making a reference I don't get which really hurts the pacing... I like Rosario Dawson and Ray Stevenson so I'll probably finish it but if there's a Jack Black/Lizzo style episode I'm throwing in the towel.

Man, I was so over that when DC did their multiverse shit with crossover episodes in all their shows
I only watched a couple of the shows, so gave up on those as well as I didn't have a fucking clue what was going on anymore.
So instead of them encouraging me to watch more shows, I actually watched less.

Serves the cunts right

I loved the MCU up until End Game and then everything that followed just seemed excessive and unnecessary. I might have watched one show and two movies since and just have absolutely no desire to watch any of it anymore and neither do my kids which says a lot. I'll take Villeneuve's Dune over anything Disney or DC puts out... and not just because I want to support a fellow Québecois.

 

[Saltfountain]

I find them all really samey now

No. You'll be missing the finer details of some of the backstory, but the broad strokes that drive the story are all presented in the first episode.

My gf has never seen any of the cartoons and she loved it.
