    If there was an option to turn off the "timelimit" in Mooncrash, I'd totally love it but I like to move at a snail's pace and it HATED me for doing that.

    Mooncrash
    once I was able to buy the time extension items with the meta game currency the whole corruption thing became trivial. I was swimming in currency so I could easily always keep corruption at zero while taking the time to do everything.

    It was actually kind of disappointing because there was no incentive to actually let corruption increase and make things riskier, took away most of the tension

    I can see that being a problem! Yeah, I understand it's part of the game but like, maybe have the time tick down based on where you go, rather than always? Like you hit up anew area, it ticks down, that'd be perfect.

    I should give it another go to see if I could do the same as you did!

    Gears 5 update:
    1. Kait continues to be the best character in the new Gears trilogy.
    2. Fahz is less of a wanker than I thought.
    3. I think Marcus and I are friends again
    4. The Swarm is now attacking our capital city.
    5. Danger close Hammer of Dawn Strikes are now a thing.
    6. I will not miss that desert.

    I am fully expecting Kait to die at the end of this game because THIS IS GEARS OF WAR AND EVERYTHING MUST BE GRIM DARK

    I might get a new computer soon.

    This old one is crapping out in places.

    The processor is ten years old after all.

    They're more expensive but if you want a 3X series graphics card, I think prebuilds are the best bet.

    However you've done well to get 10 years out of a CPU.

    Trusty old i5 2400 (not a k)

    Yeah I think I went with an msi trident system I found in stock. I'm not sure how I feel about the weird case layout (it has a riser cable separating the GPU from the Mobo) but it has a i7 10700k and a 3060. Still upgradeable though. Should be blazing fast compared to the old one. I'll just have to take off some bloatware when I move over some old files somehow. Probably have to pick up a cheap external enclosure to make that part easier since I've got two old HDDs with files to copy over to this spare 2tb hdd I'm going to pop in it.

    Then I'll have to try out some games on it. It'll be nice to play at higher settings in stuff again for once. Might need to think about a new monitor eventually though.

  • SanderJKSanderJK Crocodylus Pontifex Sinterklasicus Madrid, 3000 ADRegistered User regular
    If you're able to be a little bit patient, wait a month. GPU prices are definitely dropping. The 3060 is too new to show much in graphs yet, but here is ye olde 1660 as a stark example:

    I /think/ there is some relationship where the cards that are better miners are dropping faster than the cards that are better fps/$.

    A core 2 duo is what I was using before I got this i5 I think.

    It just occurred to me too look up what ports are even on a 3060... My monitor doesn't even do DP or HDMI...

    Looks like I'm going to have to find a DP to DVI cable or adapter.

    I'm also still using a 10 year old i5. It does fine, mostly. Doesn't like Cities Skylines. And the conquest battles in Assassin's Creed Odyssey are funny because of how long it takes to load everyone in. Kassandra just patiently waits while all the soldiers around her appear a few at a time, then their clothes appear, then finally someone off-screen shouts "action" and everyone starts yelling and fighting.

    Apparently California is like, the worst state to file a SLAPP in because its anti-SLAPP protections are so strong.

    Which is pretty lulz.

    You're the plaintiff.

    You get to pick the venue that's most favorable to your case (as long as it's relevant).

    It's a whole thing.

    The person he's SLAPPing doesn't even live in California.

    It's one of the worst self-owns I've ever seen.

    Wait. Is that a common thing in lawsuits?

    Going "I'm am suing these 100 people. I have no idea who they are, but I pinky promise I'll get back to you once I figure that part out."

    yea, maybe not 100 at once but it's for when you know people were involved but don't know their identities yet and you're intending to find out with discovery and subpoenas and such. if you never identify them then it's not like you can get a judgment against them

    which might work in like a hit and run case, but that twitter thread points out it's a stupid move in defamation because the antiSLAPP motion stays discovery

    It is mind boggling that they admit they wanna go on a fishing expedition with this thing in a case that doesn't allow them to fish.

    What the fuck were they hoping to accomplish here? Utter failure?
    Making money off a client who basically admitted they are doing it to silence others?

    From Avellone's Ending Silence blog post:
    Other women came forward, but addressing them is easier done by first challenging Karissa’s statements. This is because Karissa’s claims were, unfortunately, echoed by others as truth, which allowed these falsehoods to spread and seem to be true via repetition. Whether this was done out of malice or ignorance doesn’t matter. They are untrue.

    When Karissa’s claims are addressed in court, they will put these other claims in a much different light. Other parts of these stories that weren’t parroted by others are easy to prove false with a little research… if even a little research had been done.

    Why do display port or hdmi to DVI adapters all cost like 20 bucks or more?

    Not everyone wants a fancy 144hz monitor with dp. I'm fine with my old 1080p60hz as long as it looks nice and runs smooth.

    You can generally get affordable cabling from them at far less bullshit markups.

    I wish I could just get a display port monitor but I literally don't know what I would be looking for in those these days.

    Freesync is a important thing I guess? I don't want anything uhd or curved for sure... And nothing honking huge. Maybe 24 inches tops.

    I am not sure what a decent monitor should even run me...

    if you have an nvidia card, the thing to look for is g-sync or g-sync compatible, 144 hz, and 2k resolution (2560 x 1440). I haven't looked extensively but I would expect in the 200-400 dollar range. I think it might be hard to find a 24 inch monitor with those specs, I think the standard or easiest to find size is 27 inches.

    I recently bought an Acer EG240Y. It's a 1080p 165hz 24 inch monitor and it has both display port and HDMI. I paid 1400 DKK for it, and it appears to be 200USD in America:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/acer-eg240y-238-144hz-full-hd-monitor/8w70wdz597tn

    I'm no monitor expert, but I think pretty nice.

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    I have no interest in anything over 1080p though? The difference is minimal to me for way more processing power and I'm getting a 3060 not a 70 or 80.

    I think a buttery smooth FHD with everything else turned up as high as I can is ideal to me.

    rtings.com is generally a well appreciated monitor reviewer. They currently recommend https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-xf243y-pbmiiprx the Acer Nitro which goes for about $220. It's a 144hz freesync IPS.

    Gonna say now, don't get a TN monitor. They tout faster response rates for MaXiMuM gAmInG but the trade-off in visual quality is significant. TN looks atrocious compared to IPS.
