    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I would definitely get a 9070XT rather than nVidia. My 9070XT was same price as my 3080 and that was two cards ago, You can still get them at Best Buy or Amazon for pretty cheap. Fuck nVidia.

    Path of Exile 2

    Try switching to a different US DC. One of my US gaming buddies has an issue with Texas DC, switched to Washington DC, no more issues (he is in Baton Rogue LA) I see them occasionally but switching, even to a different zone in the game clears it up for me ( I am in TX). Surely they have some...

    Path of Exile 2

    So my much more experienced buddy showed me that when you have affinities set up (I did) you can just CTRL-left click on things from your inventory to have it moved to your stash, If you have a "dump tab" established, you can ctrl-click and it will fill up without the need to manually drag...

    Path of Exile 2

    Its delusional to think the vendors in a few campaign areas will be equal to what hundreds of thousands of players will be offering at their own merchants. The difference is overwhelmingly, hilariously, amazingly worth doing, from someone who was new to POE in POE2 launch. Not only do the...

    Path of Exile 2

    NGL, I would rather spend an Exalt or two on the market for an item that has everything that I want than randomly try to craft something with a single affix that may or may be worth a damn. In .1 I would spend 5 or 6 Ex "crafting" and end up with nothing, meanwhile when I started trading you...

    Path of Exile 2

    The guys I am playing with all made it to Maps in less than a day but I am super slow boating because A) work/life B) Maps are super boring as shit to me and once the campaign ends, I still enjoy playing but my interest dies off. I found this time, and I don't know if its because I have been...

    That's not what Capitalism is at all. That's what Communists want you to think Capitalism is so that you will give up your rights and willingly agree to allow the State to own everything. Capitalism is the belief that everyone, working in their *own* best interests, will benefit everyone.

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    I am not saying he didn't, nor I am I saying Dune was intended as a standalone, etc. You can go back and read how shocked/disappointed he was people didn't get how people didn't see the "warning signs" with Paul in the first book, and it changed/prompted how he wrote Dune Messiah. From...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    Part of what kills the Dune mythos for me is that in Herbert's eyes, Paul was almost exactly a JFK analogue. His glorious rise to power in the first book is supposed to be unvarnished and complete Campbell's Hero's Journey, except with the dash that charisma and messiahs turns friends into...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    Star Wars came out when I was six; I got to see all of these as they were released. ROTJ was a great half of a movie, with Luke/Vader/the Emperor. The other half, with the Ewoks, was Lucas trying to sell toys. Originally IIRC correctly it was going to be Wookies but now I can't recall if that...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    Your statement about DC movies and tards reminds me about a quote I heard in a documentary about indy/"shlock" films in the section about Russ Meyer, who made such fare as "Faster Pussycat!! Kill Kill!!" and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", who was famous for his use of busty actresses. One...
