    Oh that sounds like my problem, fans on the GFX and CPU turned on(full speed too), but not the case fans. Weird. Bad time to get GFX issues though, even the older stuff is expensive as fuck.

    Subnautica

    Yeah I played blind when I did a few months ago, didn't end up missing much on my own other than a very obvious thing that I ended up checking because I was thinking I must have missed something(some fucking ressource I didn't notice the first time that basically cockblocked my progression for a...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    I don't know about Rise HH since it got a bunch of new skills, but it was a lot of sheathing/unsheathing in World too. I guess with the new moves it might not be as bad but most slow weapons you're kinda going to do that to get your openings. HH does have fast movement speed though even...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Oh funny, my old PC also had the exact same card, twin froze 660, died about 3 weeks ago too. The card itself is fine though, I think, it's the motherboard that died. Or well technically it still works, but it takes like 200+ "turn it on and off again" to actually boot. It started dying by...

    You can solo all of them I believe, although Nidhogg is cancer iirc. I think for some of them BLU is faster than a 80 unsynced too, because Basic Instinct is so strong. Still overall faster to just party for them though, a lot die in like 2mins or less in a party so you can get your mounts at...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    As mentionned, MH weapon choice is very much a matter of taste, you might pick up a weapon and hate it, and switch to a few different weapons until you find the one that clicks for you. Then possibly later you'll go back to the weapons you hated and will find they're actually fun now that you...

    Yeah Subnautica is great, it's like part Survival(you gather shit, build up shit to gather harder shit and so on), part Horror(just because, it's underwater, ymmv but that shit stressed me), part Adventure(there's an actual story to follow and it's surprisingly good too for something you'd think...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Doesn't affect tokens, doesn't affect subs, so yeah it's either to fight against Gifting one month at a time(for whatever reason) or to get people to use renewals so they can fuck them when they forget. Although I wonder, isn't it like FF or Amazon where you can activate the sub, then instantly...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    The Foundry video said it was pretty stable at 30, with only occasional very small dips. That said they only tested the first 2 areas, and sometimes the later areas can be more demanding, or the later monster(MHW when you got Teostra or Kushala for example). Don't know about the final product...

    There's custom faceplates but it seems hard to get them, I'm guessing cause of Sony's legal threats and because there might not be enough demand yet to start a big production, not sure, you can preorder some directly from China. Can also put some wrappers on the existing plates apparently. The...

    Path of Exile

    PoE2 stuff is because they apparently pushed it back quite a while, saw a post on reddit about it, not sure when but they updated the announcement page to say beta won't start until at least early 2022, when it used to say at least late 2020(which obviously wasn't gonna happen but that's a fair...

    Demon's Souls remake so far, and that free game that comes with the console. They announced the new Ratchet and Clank and a couple of other less big games as exclusives during the initial reveal. Not that much and they haven't released yet, kinda terrible time to release. I bought mine just to...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    The Linus tech video posted earlier explained that they're apparently opening 2 factories in the US, but that's a plan for the future, as in 2022-2023 future, and that's just the first step of the chain, after that you still need all the other steps(making the PCBs, soldering the chips on them...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Fine being, not fine at all, supply wise. As for who cares, anyone who wants a Nvidia card probably? If it uses Nvidia chips, it means less chips for other stuff, such as graphic cards. The switch sells a ton of units, they outsold both next gen consoles in February(and I assume January), so...

    To be fair, miners have been a constant for a while, they surged back again somewhat recently because Bitcoin prices went up a bunch again but the shortage was a real thing before that too. The higher demand is likely a large problem, how many ppl in this thread that were sitting on 1080s and...

    Google said 4AM west coast, but no idea about daylight savings. Can easily just watch VODs or just read the translated transcripts on the FFXIV reddit discord though(which is gonna be more useful than watching the video if you don't speak japanese anyway). Don't think they'll have too much to...

    I got a 30s ad that was 1 out of 6 the other day clicking a random channel. Might depend on the country but here in France at least you get a shit ton of ads still ever since the new changes. Although it seems to depend on the channel, and I guess the one channel I had used my prime sub on...

    They released P4, not P5. Still better than before when it was nothing though, but yeah it's not consistent so you can only hope they'll port stuff, maybe.

    JRPGs

    They port a lot of smaller games and a lot of them do pretty well, but they still need to often look into a partnership to port them because they can't do it themselves and in some cases due to issues with contracts for VAs they can't port them with the original VAs but don't even have english...

    Forspoken

    Yeah, the name people thought would be the next FFXIV expansion then forgot about it when it was revealed to be Endwalker. Teaser looks cool, open world-ish+superpower game so nothing too new but could be fun, will see when it releases.

    Playstation 5

    Those new games aren't it though, they're permanently free without PS+, at least as far as I understand. I'm pretty happy about the Horizon Dawn one since I was planning on buying that in the near future anyway. I'll probably install Abzu too since it was on my wishlist a while ago(isn't there...

    Could have linked the actual site since it went back up like 2mins later. It has nothing of importance there though, just a list of the features already announced. It'll get more info after they do the live letter, which should be in a week and a half or so. The title is somewhat ominous. Could...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Just what I remembered but you're probably/possibly right, I'm too lazy to check in depth, when I did a quick google the main results seemed to say that instead, the sweet taste without actual sugar makes you want to eat more sugar stuff, so people then consume more shit on the side, which then...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Still causes diabetes apparently, "diet" soda is just bullshit marketting. As long as you drink it cause you enjoy the taste and not because you think it's healthy though, it's all fine(well if you drink a ton it's not fine, like really anything besides water).

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Yeah that's more the thing, if they could sell more cards, they'd sell more cards, the higher prices from scalpers and shitty shops they don't see any profit from. On the flipside, the situation is still better than if they weren't selling everything they have obviously, just if they could flood...

    Path of Exile

    It is possible they're keeping larger trading system changes for PoE2 launch, basically wipe the slate clean and start over, rather than just fuck around with big systems when there's a fair bit of ppl playing standard and overall as you said it's too much work with their release schedule. I'm...

    Yeah the trial has limitations to prevent bots using them(no trading, no market, capped at 300k gil, can't send tells or make PFs and so on) but otherwise it lets you play a very large chunk of the game for free. ARR+HW is like 50hours just doing the story. The game starts slow however and the...

    Path of Exile

    To be fair, grinding for gear is the core loop of Diablo-likes. There's kinda nothing else to do, there's a one time story originally but past that, you just grind to get better gear to grind faster, until you decide to reroll and grind gear again on that new build/class. The way you grind is...

    Man tried playing a game for the first time and this DVD drive does so much fucking noise when it's running for whatever reason. It kept doing the noise even after the install was done, then launched the game and once I loaded into the game, it stopped? Started again for a minute or so after...

    They could add a new skill specifically for these(new 90 skill), that's like a one time per craft(or maybe more than one, but limited), no CP no durability ability that will reroll your current proc to another, or if you don't have a proc force one. This way you can affect the RNG. Maybe another...

    I went for a standard old "black box" case to counter that, I really don't care about the glass side panels it's not like I need to look inside my PC(and if I do it's likely I'm gonna have to open it anyway) so I grabbed one that has a normal metal panel. When I open it there's a bunch of lights...

    Well it'll be both most likely, since every ultimate combines several bosses and this one is themed after the Dragonsong War, so it'd be surprising if there weren't both Thordan and Nidhogg in it as they're both part of the dragonsong war. The issue is since it was pushed back, it was also...

    I think current relic is fine, you can do the new content(for most steps) or you can do old ass grindy content like you're farming light/atmas on every steps, which imo is fine for what the relic is. They do need better balance between the options however(they did hotfix some of the stuff in...

    I mean you do mention it, the corona virus limitations just moved the entire dev cycle out of the window, and they had no leeway for any of it(which is a management problem for sure but it is what it is). Bozja not being fun is fairly subjective, some people like what they did, especially...
