    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    The maps are ultimately very linear with no real off beaten paths. Playing Pysker and Zealot, you can just look at the perks and see that what you have now is clearly a flattened down version of something that was actually impactful in the past before being completely nerfed.

    Hell, let my Zealot carry a shield since 2 handers are dogshit bad.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Yes, but it's the only viable play style. And it's relying on an actually bugged interaction between the weapon, its attribute, and more bugged interactions with the rest of your abilities.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    The Zealot feels like it was a class that was good at some point during closed testing and got nerfed down to the basement but nothing was changed to compensate for the nerfing. I.e., I have an ability that cheats death every 90s but puts me at 1hp yet toughness has an innate 10% bleed through...

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

    The 3080ti is direct from them it looks like. But the 4080 links to BestBuy who is out of stock (as expected).

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

    I got lucky on a BB drop and got an Evga base 3080 for $730. The whole generation was such a shitshow for regular gamers.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Our rogue buggered an undying on patchwerk. Which is impressive being a class with a threat redirect. Then my other healer walked into the wrong pile on Thaddius the next week. I blew up another ranged with mana detonation because I got iceblocked simultaneously and we didn’t think the range...

    The Division 2

    The loot being skittles and the completely disgusting amount of fucking idiotic inventory management you had to do at the high end just to keep off well rolled pieces incase the meta changes was what really burned me out. Oh, and defensive stats being completely useless since mobs start 1...

    It can be done, but it's a huge waste of PCB space or you're running some terrible wires from a hanging plug to the main pcb under the cooler. Waste of PCB space. Or this awful 3090 design.

    Skittles loot! Red/Blue/Yellow, yay!

    My video card drivers at the moment... If it ain't broke, don't update it.

    How are we even talking about things trading blows when we have neither of these things in actual reviewer hands?

    Eh, that doesn't make any sense though. The pin part of the adapter is melting, not the cable part.

    Overwatch 2

    I saw that you got nothing for the event and stopped caring. What even is the point of this game anymore? There's no secondary skin grinding objective.

    Any healer without an escape vs Zarya, "I die now, very engaging gameplay options."

    Yeah, I wouldn't trust the cable that Xexx linked since 4090 needs the sense pins in order to even power on. Jay had some updated 12VHPWR cables from Corsair and he removed the sense pins and the card refused to power on but the system still booted to Windows behind the scenes just fine.

    Home buying thread

    Even if the rate stays at 6% or goes down to 5%, if home prices drop 15% they’ll be underwater and unable to refi. It’s getting fucked by being told a fiction that is unlikely even now.

    Blue bar is power consumption in watts. Debauer was testing at 60% limit and finding the performance was nearly the same as default 100%.

    Oh no, CD Projekt is actually full dead.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    If your tank loses aggro, there's not much you can be doing as a healer besides pretending to tank it while spamming heals on yourself.

    I think some people might be missing some leveling (usually 30 people on)...

    I've upgraded the top fans to the 30mm Phanteks and moved the pump back to clean up that front piping. But if I need to service anything, two QD releases and the board can come out.

    I think somebody still makes distro blocks (not those plexi plates) that you can thread a bunch of QDs into to simplify stuff. But most consumer stuff isn't using SLI anymore since it's fundamentally dead at that level.

    A multi dollar company production. I left the house to quickly work out and luckily came back to myself at the character select screen. I am excited to see how completely fucked Benediction queues get.

    My 5950 has been perfectly stable outside of the brief couple of days I used some cablemods cables for my GPU and they clearly didn't fit correctly and would cause power loss when bumping my desk that forced a system restart. Figured that out real quick. I thankfully had no wake from sleep USB...

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

    I'm using soft tubing with a pair of quick disconnects that isolate the CPU/GPU blocks from the pump and radiators. Pulling the system out is really easy for me. The only thing I should have also done was put a 45 degree or something fitting on the GPU or CPU block so I could easily separate...
