Since last weekend Pocket Casts has not been updating my premium feeds for the Bombcast or the Beastcast. Do I need to authenticate them or is this a different kind of bug?

Agreed, definitely not Roku. If you use Chromecast then you could use the unofficial Giant Bomb Video Buddy app to stream GB content that way, and GB Video Buddy works great. It even syncs your watched content if you connect your GB account to it.

I've had multiple playthroughs of the PC version of XCOM 2, and while I love it I keep running into the same problem. I'm usually at some point in a mission, and all of my squad members have used all their actions, but the game won't end the turn. I know that Firaxis eventually patched in a manual End Turn button using the end key, but I shouldn't have to resort to using that in the first place. It's personally a game breaking issue for me. Granted, I am using a lot of mods but I can't tell if a mod is causing the issue, and if so, which mod it would be. I am currently not using Long War 2 or any mods that would require it.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it a bug from the game that is causing it, a savegame related issue, or a mod?

Thanks.

@dave_tacitus: I did some browsing and it would be less expensive for me to purchase a hybrid drive than it would be for me to pick up a mechanical one, at least on Origin. Wouldn't you want to have an SSD large enough that you could also store games on it? How does using an SSD for your OS primary drive and a mechanical drive work together? I know a lot of people do it, but I've not used them in tandem like that myself before, aside from external SSD drives.

@hmoney001 Why are hybrid drives going away?

To elaborate a little more, I am well aware that if I buy a custom PC from a boutique shop instead of building it myself I will be paying a decent amount more to cover labor and build costs. I've browsed around and looked at builds from Origin, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Xidax, and Maingear, to name a few. I've also looked at builds from pc part picker and Maximum PC for building one yourself. I am a PC gamer, though my last PC was a gaming laptop (I was in college back then) and it's now 5 years old and pretty much dead in the water. So my needs and wants have since changed.

Additionally, my dad is an IT professional and has been in the field for gosh, about 30 years now. So I've grown up around PCs and have a general knowledge about them, parts, and troubleshooting from osmosis. However, I've never built my own PC before, and my dad hasn't built any PCs since the 90's. If I build, I'm largely on my own, and I am admittedly leery and concerned about that. While building PCs has become easier it isn't an exact science, and stuff may just not work the way it is intended to, if at all. If you have a niche problem the internet will be less likely to have your answer. So I feel that paying more for the piece of mind that everything is considered, optimized, and configured to work correctly from the start is worth it to me, at least this time. I may build a PC myself in the future.

I have been watching news on general part upgrades, and this is obviously a big year for that. Again, I am going to wait until November so I can save up and get the best parts available from this entire year. I want to get an SLI setup, and I will at least be buying two 1080s. I think that Nvidia will make a 1080ti this fall, but that is pure personal speculation on my part right now. I've also been watching motherboards and CPU, and generally looking at what people rate highly on part lists and what people like.

What is the general consensus on hybrid hard drives? I know that they are basically high capacity SSDs and traditional drives, but do people like them? Are they really any good long term?

Hey everyone,

I'm going to buy a new desktop PC at the end of this year (like around late November) and I've been looking at buying a custom built PC instead of building one. I've been particularly looking at mid towers from Origin PC. While I fully understand that the majority of PC gamers will yell from the rooftops to build your own PC and documentation for doing so has improved in recent years I do not want to do that for a variety of my own reasons.

I want an enthusiast, high end rig. I want something that will last a long time, and I also want to game in 4K, at a consistent 60 FPS if possible. We'll see how the 1080 does with that. I'm not particularly interested in VR but if it can run it that's fine. I also want a large amount of storage because I prefer to store music and games locally.

That said, are buying PCs from custom shops the next best thing to building one? How much would you be willing to pay for a custom built PC?

Anyone else have the art issue? The generic GB logo is on the Bombcast and Beastcast, but individual episodes show the proper art. On Android.

Yes, I've had the same issue on Android for the past week or so. I contacted Pocket Casts about it then and after looking at the feed they said it wasn't something they could fix on their end. So it's a Giant Bomb thing. Anyway, if you go into settings, then appearance and turn embedded album artwork on then individual episode artwork shows up properly. But thumbnails in the main Pocket Casts window show incorrect and generic Giant Bomb album artwork. If you are subscribed to more than one feed then you can't tell them apart unless you manually sort and separate them via drag and drop. That's how I did it, anyway.

Yo, add me if you are on the East Side of the country known as the US. I also play some Hearthstone and Diablo III on occasion. I've played some League before so I have a general idea of what to do, and I like the Assassin classes so far.

The only issue that I'm currently having with transitioning over to Pocket Casts is that the Premium subscriber artwork for the Bombcast and Beastcast isn't correct. Pocket Casts currently does not have a feature that allows users to manually change album artwork on their own. After subscribing to the Premium feeds and discovering this, I contacted the Pocket Casts devs via Twitter. After taking a DM look at the feeds they said it was not something they could fix on their end. Giant Bomb would have to fix it and then you would have to refresh the artwork, which Pocket Casts can do.
