Properties › Re: Building A House From Scratch Or Buying One? by texazzpete(m): 7:50pm On Jan 24, 2016
It all depends.

Because for me, I'm pretty much determined to live in an estate type arrangement with central power and utilities and central security. Most estates don't give you the building from scratch option.

What does it benefit me to be 'building to taste' yet be queuing up to buy fuel for my generator? cheesy

Here's a link to an actual PS3 emulator that is still in development and still being optimized. This is running on a GTX 970 on Windows 10 / Direct X 12


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtzzQogO0aI

It can be seen that there's still significant scope for optimization and fixes to remove visual glitches and improve framerate. This video was uploaded just hours ago.

To claim that there's a working, full featured and full speed PS3 emulator is just nonsensical rambling.

CHESTER48:
Get the ps4 for $349.nice well get the gtx 590 video card for $329
. www.amazon.com/GeForce-768-bit-ENGTX590-3DIS-3GD5/dp/B0009PTE58 now which is cheaper?
Unfortunately for you, you cannot play games with just a GPU. You need a motherboard, a CPU, a case, a PSU, RAM, a HDD etc. Those tend to push the prices much higher. We haven't even factored in the cost of the monitor!


CHESTER48:
Also get the gtx 970m for $945 approx 180k in nigeria.here check for ya self www.amazon.com/Acer-Edition-VN7-592G-71ZL-15-6-inch-Notebook/dp/B015XBKY6U?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAJM4NKIQGABP2PIRA&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B015XBKY6U&tag=thewire06-20&ascsubtag=WC38536
Actually, that laptop is specced with a 960m, not a 970m. And $945 is more like 300k in Nigeria here when you convert it at the 289 naira to dollar that most banks are charging. We haven't even factored in tax!
You'll also need to add some good bucks for a decent controller

CHESTER48:

Here's a link to the video since you messed up something as simple as providing a link


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7JcxKZ0RXA

Open it on Youtube...80% of the comments there are saying what should be obvious to anyone with double digits intelligence...it's a FAKE video.

You're such an ignorant noob whose only exposure to PC gaming is to buy cheap cracked CDs from otigba and run them on low end devices. If you want to learn, ask humbly and you will be educated cheesy
Gaming › Re: 7 Solid Reasons Pc Gaming Beats Console by texazzpete(m): 3:01pm On Jan 24, 2016
Sektion:
nicely said, but i think by the time you buy like 20 brand new games(not used) for your PS4 n XONE, You should be able to get a nice Gaming PC, whereas You might not necessarily buy games for PC, u can just download em for free or better If u have a nice stash you might be able to swap with other PC gamers in your area and i don't think a gamer will be playing anything less than 20 new games in a year. Just an observation cool
Unless you're talking about piracy - which is theft - you cannot get PC games for free. At least not any great games.

Most PC games these days that you buy legally are sold via digital distribution on platforms like Steam or Origin. No way to swap them at all... If you Want to swap, you have to buy physical discs... Which cost the exact same as games on console.
Gaming › Re: 7 Solid Reasons Pc Gaming Beats Console by texazzpete(m): 9:19pm On Jan 23, 2016
CHESTER48:
1:MOUSE & KEYBOARD:Unlike all those console gamers out their,Pc have the best control scheme.Nothing beats the mouse or keyboard.Trying playing the Sims or strategy games on ps4 or xbox one.
Nothing beats a mouse and Keyboard for certain genres of games (FPS, Sims, strategy) but in other genres like fighting, racing and sports, a controller is preferable.
when you also factor in rumble support, it's easy to see why many prefer using controllers


CHESTER48:
2:Better Graphics,Better FPS:pc have much better graphics than the ps4.Pc gamers can upgrade their when they want.because it is easily removable,which keeps us at the tip dge of video games.while console gamers are stuck with one component their cosole was released with,thus they cant upgrade or exchange components.so they tend to become obsolete the moment they are released.
'Better graphics' depends on the PC spec in use. Computers that can churn out graphics better than the PS4 or XB1 are usually much more pricey.
Your 'upgradability' point is a joke, when you consider that 'PC gaming' also includes laptop gaming...and laptop GPUs and CPUs aren't upgradeable. Even when you switch over to Desktops, it's a toss up if your motherboard is compatible or your PSU is powerful enough.

Thanks to serious optimization tricks devs pull off on console, those little boxes tend to punch above their weight.


Of course an upgraded, high end to midrange PC will outperform either of the current gen consoles in graphics.


CHESTER48:
4:Cheap:most like ps4 and the xbox one,Pc games are very cheap.everything about it.Let consider you prefer using the Gamepad and not the keyboard over some few game.You can easily get single pads as cheap as 1000 naira and mod it up with the xbox emulator or perhaps buy the xbox 360 controller for 3000 naira.in whih case the ps4 pad worth 15000 -20000 naira ust for a single pad And the DVD cost almost thrice as the pc games when you can get pc for 500 naira and the ps4 or xbox for almost 17k.considering pc are very cheap.
PC games aren't 'very cheap'. PC games cost the same as PS4 games or Xbox One games on release, unless you find a sale. Even then, you'll have to consider the cost of data.
No PC gamer in his right mind would buy one of those cheap chinese 1000 naira pads.
You cannot get PC games for 500 naira unless you're talking about piracy.

When you talk about cost, you need to factor in the cost of entry. PS4 is $349. A good gaming rig will cost you much more.


CHESTER48:
6:YOU CAN EVEN PLAY PS3/4 GAMES EVEN ON THE PC:Yes this is the key off guard of this whole tingy stuff here.You can play all your popular console games on the ps3 with the pc with just some few apps and setting created by mods.
No, you cannot run PS3 or PS4 games on your PC.
There are attempts at a PS3 emulator on PC, but it's still pretty early and nothing is fully playable yet.

PS4 emulation? LOL


CHESTER48:
7:High screen resolutions:Microsoft and Sony scream about true hd in their games.But in many cases don’t deliver it.Pc happily runs games at 1080p and above for enthusiast. The HD default res is 1280*1024.whn pc runs like 1600*1200huh
You're limited to the resolution of your monitor, which for most people is 1080p, same as most TVs out these days. The vast majority of PS4 games run at 1080p. No idea where you pulled those resolutions you quote from.

You may wish to clarify that your point depends on the capability of your gaming PC. A shitty laptop will struggle to run games at 720p.

Cc: Anonimi, Ajepako, etc...
You don't even have to tag anonimi or your regular allies.

This budget is a disaster. It is an insult to taxpayers and must be withdrawn immediately. too many crazy sums, too many inflated line items

This budget has line items like 1TB USB Hard disk for 1.8 million Naira. HDD that can be bought for 17k at Ikeja computer village!

hundreds of millions of Naira for cable linkage! Tens of millions of naira for Personal protective equipment (gloves, coveralls, safety glasses) for the handful of inspectors in the Solid minerals ministry! Obscene amount budgeted for personal vehicles, computers and 'computer software'.

What nonsense.

Whether you're pro-APC, pro-Buhari, pro-PDP, anti-Buhari, all must rise to condemn the wasteful spending in a budget that is meant to be leaned down for the austerity era we find ourselves.

OP said "many allegations", to the point he admits been unhappy about the whole information.
Who said it's just dumping one guy?

In a short period of quarrel, she slept with another guy already. Still with the OP o.

So any time she has quarrel with hubby (normal thing in most unions) na to go bleep another man? shocked
From the OP, it's just one guy

and there is no direct correlation between actions she took as a single babe seeking love and how she will behave as a married woman.

Every woman has a past. He will need to live with it.

PS: 'Short period of quarrel' probably means they broke up temporarily. How was it a crime to date someone else when their relationship broke down?

If definition of 'hoe' is a girl who has slept with more than one man before, or dumped a boyfriend for another, then nobody go marry again in Nigeria.

Hmm. You guys of nowadays. No balls
Simply do what one Igbo guy in the Uk did when his mother wanted to chase away his dream babe.

He was Igbo and he found love with one utterly beautiful Brazilian babe he met in Scotland. This babe loved him so much, she flew to the US from the Uk to meet his aunt to learn how to make egusi, okazi and ogbono soup.

Then the mother came to visit , saw the Brazilian babe and privately took the son aside to tell him that he must marry a girl from his tribe and not this Brazil babe.

The guy calmly looked at his mother and said "mama, it looks like you don't want to come for my wedding then". The woman thought it was a joke until the guy proposed to his babe and started wedding preps

She had to come to accept the babe by fire by force cheesy

So simply ask your sister "is it that you will not come to my wedding or not "?

Forget all this old fashioned BS...your choice of a wife is 99% your decision.

Thank God for your life


FG should scrap NYSC; imagine a scheme without

1. Health insurance
2. meagre allowance (N19800)

and you want corpers to work like a normal staff who is earning 100k plus.

A level 8 teacher in Akwa ibom ibom is earning N105,000

while a corper earn 19800+10000(state allawee) and the govt want work output to be d same.

its time for govt to review the pay structure of the scheme or scrap it.

Akwa ibom , Abuja, Lagos Port Harcourt, Borno , Yobe , Adamawwa corpers need to be given utmost consideration in reviewing d pay structure.

**imagine risking ones life from Lagos to Bauchi or Sokoto to Calabar coupled with bad road and proximity to armed robbers.

#FGRestructureNYSC

God bless the dead!
Let's be frank. This has nothing to do with the proper application of the NYSC scheme. According to regulations, you're not supposed to travel once you're posted to your place of assignment.

Multiple people lost their lives, including children. Please stop reducing this into a 'corper' issue. This accident was caused by a sleeping driver , not by the FG or by NYSC

Which hospital would you have taken the baby to, as who, who will foot the bill and after treatment what will you do with the child? Things like this happen because there is no social safety net to take care of young mothers with unwanted pregnancy. This is the reason why I am not quick to condemn the so called baby factories. It could have been better that the lady gave up the child for adoption than waste the innocent baby. Unfortunately there have been relentless onslaught against foster homes that could have taken care of the ugly situation so we are going to be seeing more babies wasted.
I would have covered all bills easily.
