    What vehicle do you drive?

    I currently have a 2007 Civic and a 2013 Pilot*. I have also owned a 2011 CRV, and a bunch of other non-Hondas. Honda AWD is not Subaru AWD, but it's good enough for most cases. Honda handling is not fun like Mazda or VAG, but it's competent. Honda 4 cylinders are definitely reliable, though...

    The Division 2

    Yeah, I don't entirely get it either. The second guy was accusing the first of trolling the group. I dunno. Getting locked into someone's afk and not being able to leave the game was the crappiest part.

    The Division 2

    I think my biggest gripe with the patch is that either the speed of mobs was increased and/or the game is frequently lagged and rubber-banding. It seems like it is harder for me to stay on target with moving mobs and I am wasting more ammunition. Outside of the patch, I had my first experience...

    The Division 2

    I don't have the same issue with stuttring, but, yeah, if I play with the Ubisoft overlay on, I get a whole lot more random issues and crashing. It's worth a shot to turn it off.

    I was gonna say Rita's but balked. The best place is in Wilmington. It's called Dino's.

    Philadelphia - Where Kegkilla was born and raised.

    Cheesesteaks are good, but so many places do them well. Pat's and Gino's is more for the photo op. My ideal day in Philly would be something like Diner for breakfast--make sure to order something with scrapple Run/Hike along the Wissahickon near Valley Green Water Ice at someplace in South...

    Is Liberty at 490 a better gun? It has too much recoil and not enough rounds for me to find it useful at the moment.

    ooh Pentagon! I was thinking this game needs more character models and might as well just use Fallout IP. But then I thought, why not GI JOE?!

    This is a generally useful baseline. I go with SOCOM MK16 with Killer and Extra (72 rounds) at the moment.

    hmm, but if everyone is experiencing basically the same latency, does it matter? normally i would think this is just Google trying to stay relevant, but they have AMD doing the GPUs online gaming without cheating???! consoles and nvidia died a little bit

    I follow AMD stock, and this came up today (along with a nice price bump): https://store.google.com/magazine/stadia Ordinarily, I'd think it's just Google puffing about it's latest vaporware and keeping relevant. But because AMD is involved, I think it's more legit. Stadia seems like it could...

    Yeah, I have to be able to kill at least two guys before reload. I'm not sure if it's an SMG or rifle, but the PPs are pretty good. I also like the FALs.

    So a lot of the reviews of the 1660ti answer yes to your question. But if I pull up the verified 3DMark data: Result I find it hard to believe that that 1660ti is actually acceptable for 1440p when it doesn't even outperform the RX 580* or 590 in 1080p. * Those RX 580 numbers are a little insane.

    Used EVGA 1080ti is pretty safe. But you would have to buy soon. Debut of 1080ti was March 2017. So this is the last year of having any sort of warranty. I would not go this route with another brand. If you had bought 2 weeks ago, you could have had a Sapphire Nitro Vega 64 for $400. Buying a...

    How much money do you make?

    Is Buffalo headed up or down? I worked there for a summer like a decade ago, and it felt like there were really awesome old houses in the midst of ghetto. Couldn't tell which direction it was headed, but seemed like there was a ton of potential.

    If AMD Rewards somehow comes through early, I might upgrade to gold. Doubtful that will happen though.

    The Division 2

    I am coming to the same conclusion. The game is running CPUs and possibly GPUs at 100%+ and causing them to crash. I have returned my CPU clock to 3.6GHz from the 3.9GHz I usually run, and the game is suddenly stable. I wonder if I limit the CPU power state maximum to like 95% or 98% in windows...

    So I've been trying to run Division 2 and constantly crashing. Been tweaking everything I can--page file size, misc windows 10 processes, DX11/12, Windowed mode, resolution, triple buffering, FreeSync, overlays, gpu driver...game is still crashing usually within 10 minutes of running.

    Maybe this is an odd question, but are any games known to overclock the gpu/cpu on their own?

    The Division 2

    On PC, I encountered that high pitch tone I think. It was alternating left speaker to right for me. Then the game crashed. I turned off all overlays I could think of, switched back from DX 12 to DX11. I keep trying to turn off VSync but it comes back on...And the game predictably crashes over...

    It was a decision for us. It's not that way for everyone. You can nitpick it, of course. You can point out the couple has too high a mortgage or has other expenses that could be scaled back.
