    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I turned in all that shit for the gold (I spent my time grinding out 2 sets of pvp gear though :/ ). I'm just going to level normally like a casual scrub.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I'd wait to decide on the GPU at least. And if you're gaming and can wait on the CPU, maybe they'll put out a X3D part eventually. But if you're on like first gen ryzen or intel 9th series, I'd probably be more inclined to upgrade now.

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

    We're just hitting the limits of size for fin space and these usually terrible fans they stick on these things. I'd have expected them to at least gone to 25mm fans to improve static pressure and airflow but apparently they just added more metal and re-used the same thin mediocre fans they were...

    But it's also just the cooler that is causing the size increase. The actual PCB on these things can be tiny once you're not trying to attach an air cooler to them that can handle the potential heat load.

    It's so much fun trying to hit the lock correctly on my current board (it's fucking terrible).

    Corsair refuses to make any SFX-L psus, so I'm stuck with a 750 from them at the moment. Otherwise I can get a Silverstone SFX-L but I'm concerned about the quality of the thing. Also really need ATX 3.0 to start showing up.

    So, when do we get ATX 3.0 PSUs though?

    Get HWinfo, MSI afterburner, and Rivatuner, you can get onscreen data for CPU/GPU usage while gaming. What I have for example, green is GPU (temp, usage, mem), red is CPU (temp, overall usage, highest core usage, mem, highest core clock), blue is water temp.

    Well, pvp gear is ilvl 144+, and heroics are 115. Why the fuck would I do shit for garbo gear vs basically bis?

    Always check below the Buy Now button to see who it's coming from. The EVGA store link under the product description is useless generally. It's not where the product might actually be fulfilled from.

    And we also don't have the prior gen (RTX 20X0) being bought out to fuel crypto and instead have a flood of basement priced RTX 30X0 in the market as they attempt to dump before releasing 40X0 series.

    Yep, I'd hold off for the potential X3D cpu.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Just wait for the GPUs and see what performance gain that is. A new CPU of the next generation is never a big enough improvement to make sense.

    Well, you need to get revered with zereth Morris rep in order to craft an equipable 2nd legendary that you can upgrade past 265… and that takes weeks of gated rep.

    I’m sure there will be a WotLK boost. I just wanted to use the TBC one before it possibly went away. And I had plenty of time to casually level with nearly full rested xp over the last couple of weeks.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I just have an old raiding buddy there, so maybe I can join his raid group of semi-retards or something. It was also easier to boost a paladin than horde side, fuck manually leveling from 1-58 again. An hour of work pays for the boost. I already poopsocked the vanilla leveling once, never again.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    An aoe heal stuns them, but it was a pretty risky strategy in my opinion to try and hard cast near them. The couple I was repeatedly fighting in the Haligtree though, a simple shield block always staggered them. So just walking into them while blocking and poking with a spear was easy.

    Keyboards & Mice

    Brief keyboard reviews: Bought a GMMK2 96% barebones along with some of their Panda switches. Panda switches - very obvious tactile bump, but it's at the immediate start of key travel so it just ends up being a hard to press key that blows through all of its travel and bottoms out immediately...
