This movie was actually pretty scary and had some scenes that made you want to turn your head but I don’t want to give away any spoilers.

Take on new challenges with the old Kong crew when you play Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch. Donkey, Diddy, Dixie and Cranky team up for more jumps and rolls, while Funky Kong climbs onto his trusty surfboard to show off his best moves. Rated E for everyone, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is an ideal option for family game night.

This game is fantastic! Brings me back to my old school SNES days when I played Donkey Kong Country. The levels, colors, music, controls - Nintendo did it again. New play mechanics have been added and it seems more challenging than ever. I am playing it on an LG OLED and the graphics are awesome.

I replaced my aging proprietary Bose system with a new receiver and paired it with some new speakers and this Definitive ProSub 1000. When my wife comes home, she knows I watched a movie because the pictures on the wall are tilted over. The sub is filling infinite space in a large family room. The best feature is the dial on the side that can be used to adjust the sub if you want more punch during a movie/music, or turn it down at night while people are sleeping. Instead of having to fumble through EQ settings though your receiver.

This is hands down my favorite movie. I love everything about it: The acting, cinematography, epic battle scenes, characters, soundtrack etc. and this new 4K release takes everything I love about the film to a whole new level. The Scotland landscapes are so detailed and the surround sound is better than ever.

GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Aero OC 16GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card - White
Ahead of its time, ahead of the game is the GIGABYTE AERO OC 16G Graphics Cards. Powered by NVIDIA's new RTX architecture, the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4080 AERO OC 16G brings stunning visuals, amazingly fast frame rates, and AI acceleration to games and creative applications with its enhanced RT Cores and Tensor Cores, along with a staggering 16 GB of GDDR6X memory.
 

Would this be a good GPU for working with Unreal Engine 5?

It sure is, I have done multiple benchmarks with it. You should have no issues doing any type of rendering. Your main bottleneck would potentially be your CPU if any but I run an Intel i7-12700KF and it crushes everything I throw at it.

Will a 750 watt psu handle this and a 12700k?

I am running a 1000W PSU but I do not think a 750W will be able to push this card and an i7-12700K. The minimum power supply requirement for this card by itself is 850W.

This webcam features high-definition video calling and still image capture with up to 2.0MP resolution to ensure crisp, clear video and picture quality. The 1-click upload capability allows you to easily share pictures and videos online.
 

i HAVE A 82 INCH SAMSUNG SMART TV, AND I WONDERING IF WE CAN PUT A WEBCAM ON IT TO VIDEO CHAT WITH GRAND KIDS OR LIVE CONFERENCE. IF SO WHAT BRAND AND MODLE WOULD WE NEED TO DO SO.

If you have that big of a TV you don’t want to get a WebCam that is only 1080P. You will want to get a WebCam that is a 4K/HD WebCam otherwise you will have a more grainy looking video versus the high-quality image your TV is capable of. I would hit up Samsung support for specifics and they can move you in the right direction.

How do you hook this up to you computer is it good for zoom conference calls etc.

It’s a simple plug and play. Your PC Should recognize the device when you plug in the USB and when you open up your zoom application, it will use that HD camera as a default WebCam. Or you might have to play with the settings. Works fine with Zoom for my daughters online classes.

65" LG OLED TV A1 Thin Q. The picture on the screen is not a crystal clear one like ones in the store. Blurry. Do I have something programmed wrong?

The ones in the store are professionally calibrated to look like that. You can get that done as well through Best Buy or maybe check some YouTube vids on the TVs best settings.
