    The Division 2

    No, I know its not the video card, But its something in my system or the game thats taking a big shit. Its too bad too because I DO like to come back to this game from time to time and just fuck around and kill shit. Oh well. I remember my son had issues with this game too way back when he was...

    The Division 2

    There used to be a time that more gooder shit dropped in the PvP zones. You go in there, do some PvE, and try to extract the stuff that drops and hope you dont get ganked. But they nerfed the drops somewhere along the line. But PvP in this game was its own thing. and you had to build your dude...

    The Division 2

    Yeah loot has always been shit in this game. Especially the gear. Guns are not as bad but still bad, lol. Just too many affixes and suffixes and other shit like perks and this is why 99% is pure garbage. They tried to fix it a couple of times the game has been out and yet today its still fucked...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    My point was, misty, that the lower the price the more they will sell. Were all in a fucking bubble here of 30-50 yr olds with disposable income that can afford these cards. Average Joe and Nancy is not dropping $1000 on a card. Only thing that Nvidia has got on AMD these days is name...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Why does it need to hit Nvidia at the 4090 market? Who the fuck drops $1600 for a video card other than a small minority? They are hitting right where it hurts. You know how many more 3060s they sold rather than 3090s? Steam Survey Oct 2022... Only prob AMD has now is bad word of mouth...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    AMD used to be the Price vs perfornmance leader just a decade or so ago, maybe a bit longer? You could pick up a $200 card and get awesome performance for the time. 5850, 6850..etc...Even some older than this like the 1650 I think it was? Its all I used to buy because back then I didnt really...

    ITs fucking broken for whatever reason on my system. The only game that ive tried on it that literally shuts down my PC. I used to love coming back from time to time and just playing this game for a while. But then they broke it. They even added some new seasonal content this summer that I...

    New World

    The early game to late game was all good. It just ran out of shit to do at max, that was the big problem and why I quit. If it wasnt for the wars we did like every week, and the prep work, I would have quit earlier than that. Like in any game like this its the people that keep you sticking...

    IT usually takes them a few balance passes to set that shit right. What you usually get with these games at first is just a playable shell.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    My go to is the cheap ass mechanical Red Dragon on Amazon. I have owned many and they are good. Sometimes you get a bad one or whatever but just return it and get a new one. And They are like $35 or some shit for the OG 60%. Cheap enough to throw away when they get all cruddy and dusty with...

    There is some good home grown hot sauces I enjoy. Picked one up at Kroger, some Ghost Pepper sauce that is quite good. Like $6? a bottle? Some Liquor stores have dedicated shelves of this shit around me too. IDK if this is a local thing or what but they have some amazing hot sauce too, kinda...

    Costco is the same shit. Big bird, way fucking bigger than Kroger and its still $4.99. But something about that Kroger chicken man, its just better. I saw them set the shit up one day and it was a huge ass bag of them marinaded inside a bag. I dont think Costco (not sure about Sams) has them...

    Car ?'s

    I remember the first Hybrid I worked on back in the early 2Ks. My company got contracted to help Sanyo develop a battery for the Ford Escape. So this was mounted in the space they made in the floor pan like where the hatchback is. It was about 3ft by 4ft if memory serves? Anyway we had to make...

    Ashes of Creation

    LOL this is also a driving force for those that are not good at PVP or the best or whatever. The thing that keeps them coming back is the thought that someday they will have the gear to override their shitty PVP skills. Or that if they work harder they can be good as well. Also any mmo without...

    IF you guys have a GFS by you they now have broasted chicken or at least mine does. My kids and wife cant get enough of the shit. $7 for 8 piece. I usually pick up 3 of them and we have chicken for days. Its fucking cheaper than getting a roaster and ovening it. I used to swear by Kroger...

    Embers Adrift

    Shit I mostly soloed on my Ranger back in the day up till like 60. Using fear kiting animals. I also grouped when I could find one, but sadly I had only a few hours a night to play so waiting for a spot in a group was not always the best way to go. Then when POP came out we had the headshot bow...

    Skyrim

    They have mod packs now. But requires vortex premium for a month, like $5 or some shit. I mean you can do it without premium and still download the pack but you have to sit there and install each one by one. Last time I played skyrim I used this one...

    The biggest BS was at like lv 55ish or thereabouts where you essentially ran out of everything. Until then there was some rough spots they need to fill in a bit but the 50s were fucking awful. Plus the fucking running, ugh...

    Ashes of Creation

    Yeah I mean Shadowbane was essentially normalized across the board. And you fought over resources. Gear didnt really matter, neither did weapons. It was all about the runes that dropped and made your class an extra bit better. Like the commander rune, remember? And those were world drops and...

    Embers Adrift

    And thats the problem with these forced grouping games. Its all fine and dandy if you have a set group and you have shit ton of fun. But once the group is gone its no longer fun. Shit even EQ had places you could solo and the exp solo was OK. Certain classs were solo gods and could venture deep...

    Caramelizing is what needs to happen if you want to make good french onion soup from scratch. I use red onions about 6 huge ones. It takes forever to actually caramelize them, like literally a hour. Never used sugar but Ive read places that this is what you add to make it all go faster. Rest of...

    My kid says its a bit slower than other CoD I think he means TTK and he says that this leads to shit like campers and such. (Catering to noobs is what he said) Hiding behind corners and in the bushes and shit. Other than that its the same shit, smaller non destructible CoD type maps. He also...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    SO 75W @12V is 6.5 amps and that calls for 16 AWG, 100W @12V is 8.3 amps which needs 14 AWG and I can fucking guarantee that those wires are not 16 or 14 AWG my bet is 20 AWG. I mean OBV there is a problem when shit is melting.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    There is 2 ways to get around this problem, use bigger connectors and bigger wire or convert the 12v current design of the cards to 24v which will halve the amps the wire and connector carries. 120 Watts @ 12V = 12 Amps 120 Watts @ 24V = 6 Amps 120 Watts @ 120V = 1 Amp All the charts im...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Well one of those pins obviously is the power, right? And even if you split that 500w into 3 connectors its still 160+ watts each on a 20 or 22 AWG wire.

    Ashes of Creation

    Yeah for sure, there was just not enough PvE content in New World to keep people playing. And the PvP was just a side show and maybe a bit more for just a few that were lucky to be in guilds that participated. Lets say a server of 2K with about 4-5 guilds that participated in the 50 v 50 city...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    So I watched this on Disney recently and it was kinda meh. I liked all the other Thor movies but this one just seemed like a desperate try at one. The comedy felt forced, not much of it was funny, the story was ok but all the shit that wrapped around it was just shit. 5/10
