  • I had the same issue with NVMe, but you can get 4x PCI-E cards to install them on. Wouldn’t work as a boot drive but it’s great for a games installation space. Just check installing another card doesn’t drop your GFX from the 16x. My old ASUS Gene V had two 16x style slots and an extra 4x so I could manage to add one card without dropping the GFX to 8x.


  • My XBOX has the internal 1TB then 4TB of USB3 storage for 360/XBOX One games (or Series games I’m not currently playing). Main PC is 500GB SSD Raid 0 System drive, 1TB NVMe data drive and a 6TB HDD Storage Space. Then my NAS has 20TB (RAID 5) of space for everything else. (Including a full set of install files of any games I bought via GoG since you can keep their DRM free install files just in case GoG suddenly disappear)


  • Podcast wise: Rebel FM, though after all these years it’s more just to catch up with them than the actual talking points, but always enjoyable.

    For deep dives into specific games Cane & Rinse (full disclosure I have met and consider friends some of the guys involved).

    For Indie Games, The Sausage Factory by Chris O’Regan, which these days is hosted by Cane And Rinse is a great way to hear directly from the game devs themselves.


  • A few years back I scanned a whole pile of photos from my childhood (I’m from 1974). My method was to scan the original negatives wherever possible on a flatbed scanner. Only scanning the actual prints where the negatives were lost or badly damaged. (Actually I still scanned those negatives just so I had them incase I ever wanted to try and digitally repair any scratches etc, either manually or via some automated /AI tool in the future.)
