Where can I get 3.5mm line-in cables that aren't shit? A few of the ones I bought are like loose or otherwise junk.

Oh yeah that was fantastic. Anyone remember this one? Had some pre-Starfox level vector graphics

Portfolio? More like Portfailio.

Oh shit we really not-stonksed today.

The load times on PS5 are hilariously short. I can't believe they managed to do that.

Personally I'd just wait for PC if you don't have a PS5 but I'm a performance snob.

There's a lot less long-commuters post-pandemic and electric vehicles keep penetrating the market. Oil producers are expecting demand to just keep declining. They will not make investments to open up new wells unless the government gives them a handout to do so, which they probably will...

Yes, the itemization is super good in this game. There's no best weapon, every weapon has unique perks that level up as you upgrade each weapon with rare components. Every weapon has a different mix of ammunition types, including some rare combinations. You really have to make real decisions...

It's funny but they will never be able to get rid of mmsys.cpl. netcpl.cpl, ncpa.cpl, and powercfg.cpl are difficult as well.

The US oil producers do not want to produce more oil. They have stated this publicly. It's not government regulation preventing them for producing oil, it's that they want to sell less oil for more money. Last time they produced more oil the price cratered.

I think this game was probably most ahead of its time design-wise: Here's another one I feel like didn't have its influence felt until much later:

I don't think that's fair. ER and Bloodborne don't really have a plot, but they certainly do have a story and tell a story. The fact that a bunch of it is vague and memeworthy is not a bad thing at all. People confuse plot and story a lot. HFW is like a Bioware-style game it has a lot of...

Yeah, I'm glad HFW forced me to actually use the PS5 and TV I bought lol, and remember, or completely relearn, how to play a shooter with a controller. The last shooter I played through with a controller was Halo 1 unless you want to count GTA3 as a shooter.

There's actually a ton of stuff not on the map in HFW. Not just unmarked but also literally just off the map. They're both great games but ER is making it hard for me to get into because it's just so fucking ugly and unoptimized.

Yes. There's two things that Windows 11 improves. The desktop looks better in HDR, the standard UI colors, like folders and icons, are not all muted when you switch on HDR like they are in Windows 10. It can add AutoHDR to many DirectX games, even ones not designed for HDR. In Windows 10 you...

Every set since Eldraine has been really good. Eldraine looked cool at first but got out of control so fast. I haven't really played much for Kamigawa aside from a couple drafts, been working and playing console games. And oh yeah the nearly 2 weeks of my life that I lost to building a new PC...

Windows 11 is great if you plan on using HDR in Windows and a total waste otherwise.

He's a disabled veteran so he's in the progressive stack somewhere.

I typed up something long and thoughtful but I deleted it and instead I will just say that Elden Ring has too much brown.

I was at my great aunt's house when I was 2 and someone showed me an Atari and handed me a controller that wasn't plugged in, but I knew it wasn't plugged in and told them to fix it. My stepdad had a TRS 80 that he bought when he got out of the Marines. It had a tape drive and cartridges, so I...

I don't think 3200hz DDR4 has any problems. I don't think I'd get a KF though. Just wait for the Ks to dip down a bit. Someday you may want to use the device without a GPU, since it's likely going to remain a strong compute platform for a long time.

My 12700 was a kickass upgrade from the 9700k I had but just wait for 13th gen Intel/7 gen Ryzen. Z690 is a bit of a shitshow with memory compatibility. Took like 3 BIOS revisions for me to get stable boots, though oddly once booted it was stable regardless. But boot-looping 4-7 times to POST...

They're both good, large games, HFW is a way more well-put-together game than ER overall. Has better combat too, and probably better itemization. But it was definitely a very bad decision to go head-to-head with a huge multiplatform release on a console that people are still having a hard time...

Definitely neat.

If you just keep winning you'll get all the cards eventually. :)

I completed Zendikar Rising, most Strixhaven and all of Midnight Hunt through drafts and had a fucking blast. Loved all those sets and the drafts just got better and better the more I understood the sets. Hit #60 Mythic during Midnight Hunt.

Oh he's definitely right. That's why WoW PvP gets so stale, and the MTG arena ladder as well. MTG Arena limited stays interesting, because you are matched partially by rating and partially by event progress.

There's been a lot of good eras of MTG. Tempest through Invasion block was great. Zendikar through Innistrad block was great. Modern was pretty great for the first 4-5 years it was around. For limited players, we've had an absolutely fantastic run lately. These have been some of the best...

By making it hard to buy it with fiat, and hard to sell it for fiat.

Because it's nowhere near as decentralized as the libertarian sheeple think it is. Almost all of the money is in wallets controlled by a handful of exchanges, and they have to interact with other banks and payment processors to do business. Until near everything can be done natively in BTC or...

Hasn't this also been the same for the past two Civ releases?

Tariffs are a huge part of that. The chips are made in Taiwan and excluded from tariffs. The more of the board and board components that's assembled in China, the bigger the tariff. So if the chip goes on a Chinese PCB with Chinese cooler and fans, you're getting boned. This is a big part...

4K games with large textures can use more than 12GB rather easily now, and nvidia doesn't have an option between 12 and 24.

The shredder disks are pretty fun once you get good with them.

When I try to explain this to people, I get made fun of, so good luck.

Windows, or Edge? Because it's definitely present in Edge and possibly Chrome. You highlight text, and then somehow that text (or the frame the text is in) is losing focus within the page, and your copy command does not copy data to the clipboard, despite the text remaining highlighted...
