Oh my. I grew up on coaxial cables. Even to this day, I sometimes feel like modern Cat5/6 Cable are not "real" network cables because of how deep an impression was made on me in my youth.Quote:

Are you trying to coax a reply out of us?
Well, I'd say that you shouldn't be brought up on JUST cables. They are likely to make a deep impression that way, but a well balanced diet is certainly superior.
lol ;)
For ages I've always wanted to try Epic Games Unreal Engine on Windows, but I could never could get their launcher to connect to their servers to download it. So now as an experiment, I've just finished installing the Linux version of Unreal Engine on Ubuntu, but in a virtual machine.
I don't expect it to work in a virtual machine, plus my computer is too damn old.
Unreal took over 6 hours to install!
OMG! Unreal Engine's editor is loading in a virtual machine on my crappy machine!
It's in it's first run, so it's taking a while for it to compile it's shaders. Hopefully it doesn't have to go through this long process everytime I launch it. If UE doesn't run choppy, but has to go through this long process to load in Linux, I'll have it preload in the background when I log into Ubuntu.
As I understand it, the Unreal Engine is pretty heavy. You need a good strong modern PC to run it. I played a lot of Unreal games in my life and they were all taxing to the PCs I had at the time. The single player Unreal 2 was always my favorite though. I feel like giving it a run now that I've mentioned it.
Yeah, it's pretty heavy! While it was compiling, Ubuntu locked up. So I took a snapshot of where Unreal was in the loading process, powered the virtual machine off, and gave it up to 12GB of Ram to complete the loading process after I restored it where it left off.Quote:

Wouldn't it be more logical to get a Vulkan driver?
The most logical.
After all, you DO want your virtual machine to live long and prosper.
Apparently GIFs don't animate on this board anymore?
It looks like it added it as a jpg.
That's okay, it's the post race: Stuff doesn't have to make any sense to be valid.
I couldn't pass through my Unbuntu virtual machine to the GPU, so I was left with 4 cores, 8GB's ram I gave it, and OpenGL to get Unreal Engine to run, but it was dirt slow! I tried before to install Unreal on my host system, but I can't get the Epic Games Launcher to connect to their servers to download it, even after applying all fixes that should've got the Launcher to work! I'm just gonna leave it.Quote:

I hate using an exclamation point after a word that ends in an 'l'. It just doesn't 'pop'. Perhaps if I changed font?
Even the stadium itself is rejecting the new name... :lol:

Yeah, that was such a Cleveland move it's hard to imagine a better one.
