I want to see a super 3090 computer on a super 8k TV before I'll believe that 8k gaming is worth it.

I totally get it. New electronics are exciting and the target audience of nerds are bored AF at home. You go from casually paying attention to new cutting edge electronics to being willing to pay $$$ for this garbage because what else are you going to spend your $ on?

mesh chairs like these are perfect for this. https://www.staples.com/Staples-Hyken-Technical-Mesh-Task-Chair-Black/product_990119

What is the difference between a genuine scalper and a bot? For me, an electronics scalper who isn't using automation isn't genuine, they're clueless bads.

Never really shopped for a chair but I've always wondered if there was a unicorn chair out there that was intended to facilitate good posture for someone sitting down many (15+) hours a day. Chairs like: seem like they are designed to cause kyphosis retarded stuff like looks like it'll...

Could totally imagine Carmack moving on from making phone VR games for Facebook to working on the new Doom or whatever. Or not, dude can do what he wants.

Also, you can watch Zaide's level to 50 marathon to see what a mage murderball looks like, I think they were pretty close to that group. I think watching those vids will demotivate you though, it is boring and easy. I maintain that the only way I'd do another TLP is if they made a much harder...

Hard to beat a 4x mage + enc + cle group. Enchanter pulls/CC's/tashes, a mage malos and everyone blows the fuck outta everything while the cleric heals. If you're concerned about KSing, 6x necros is great because at high levels you can occupy between 1 and 6 zones and just FD until mobs spawn...

I wouldn't trust that leak. There's no reason to expect the increase in hardware the 3090 has will result in only a 10% increase in performance.

Public auctions for video card releases would be perfect.

It depends, what are you trying to do and are the 5 necros boxed? Problem with a necro murderball is that unless you're splitting DPS or something the necros' most lethal option, DoTs, aren't nearly as effective because mobs die too quickly. They'll just be sending their pets in and spamming...

Just did almost all of the first quest in PoF because I wanted a raptor and then got DC'd. Not upset about it, but is that a common occurrence? It was my first instance in years and the first time I got DC'd since starting to play again.

I'm also interested in this on the switch just to play it with the boy.

Don't listen to the butthurt nerds reporting someone for challenging their entitled and privileged world view.

Christmas 2022.

Too bad NVIDIA doesn't take my advice and sell these things for 3x the price until supply meets demand. They could make tens of thousands of dollars and all it would cost them is a massive amount of negative press for price gouging and intentionally trashing their supply.

Why not? These guys are professionals and there is a steady influx of high-demand electronics that they can use their pre-existing tools for. Someone buying a mere 10 of these cards can flip them for a huge markup which you can then use for the next electronics release.

@China Bat Soup is clowning on fools here. If you're upset about scalpers you're basically a member of antifa and don't believe in private property.

Anyone crying about not getting a new NVIDIA card on day1 can get fucked. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It'll be great. It'll usher a new era of high-demand electronics, and this strategy is a solidly proven approach.

Guarantee most of the purchases are made by professional scalpers who have the tools, contacts and motivation to finalize a purchase action faster than consumers.

They should take a demand-centric pricing scheme to defeat scalpers and miners. Start the $ at 3x their current price and reduce it as stock scales up to meet demand. Let's see how many miners / scalpers want to buy an RTX 3080 tomorrow at $2100 when it's going to be $1400 in a month and $700 on...

These machines make me want to try water cooling again. I still have all my radiators / connectors and it's been long enough that I've forgotten how annoying it is to do.

My pc is in the unfinished half of my basement of my new house and winter is coming. The hotter these things run the better!

Was my first thought too. I don't have any kind of education to even surmise it, but I just imagine that biological markers are only high confidence within a narrow set of assumptions.

Depending on the couple and length of dating, 2.5 years is well beyond the honeymoon period.

I remember the first trip I took with my wife. We had to leave the hotel room at 8AM sharp to hit our schedule. At 7AM she started getting ready. At 7:15AM was the first time she asked me if I was going to get ready. At 7:30AM she began getting distressed I was still in bed. At 7:45AM she was...

I don't have a comment on whether the Mage is worth the effort, but when I did the mage epic on live a couple years ago I was blown away by how much more bullshit the mage had than the other epics I had done. I've done almost all of them now and I guess I've missed most of the difficult ones...

I made a promise to myself to just vendor everything I get in the game instead of wasting time trying to use anything. We'll see how long it lasts.

Using spawn times as a gating mechanic to introduce difficulty is the most boring of options. Next TLP should have an option with mobs having double damage, double health and being immune to charm, among other things.

rolled up a level 9 rev and then switched back to my 80 elementalist. I'm playing with some folks who rolled up a new character. Some of them are uhh, less experienced gamers and if I push my DPS (especially on my level 80 elementalist) they'll never get a swing in before everything explodes...

Had the same situation. I gave up hope until the original owner found me randomly.

I play on live for the expansion. Will probably skip this next one though unless it's surprisingly content-rich. Will almost certainly play the next one.
