Re: How to migrate WIN10 install

I have moved a Win10 install from AMD to Intel (or the other way around, I forget which) and had no issues. You should be fine. Only thing I'd watch for is going from a SATA SSD to PCIe. That might present a problem.

Re: Time to say goodbye to the Phenom II and finally upgrade

So right now I am just waiting on the new Ryzen3 to be released before I pull the trigger on a build. My monetary situation has actually improved, so I am going to throw that extra $100 into a better SSD/m.2 and/or GPU. Still not sure as to which GPU I will get but I am leaning towards the 5600XT.

Will do another theory build as soon as the CPU hits the market.

Re: Half Life Alyx

There is now an official mod for playing Alyx without VR. I would strongly suggest not playing the game like that. It really isn't worth it. The entire design of Alyx's gameplay is centered on the idea of it being in VR, so most of the game will not translate to a fun experience in 2D. The AI is dumber to account for the difficulty of combat in VR, and the game pace is quite slow because VR is largely about exploring your environment as you play. Much of Alyx's gameplay is you rummaging around in cabbinets, trash bins, and shelves looking for resources. In VR, this is fun because you're using physics to do it. Out of VR it's gotta be the dumbest feeling ever.

If you really want to experience it and have no plans on ever getting VR, you'd be better off by watching a gameplay video on YouTube.
