    That depends how high end you wanna go. 5800x 8/16 or even higher with a 5900x which is 12/24? Both are available now last time I checked. Mo bo you have a choice of B550 or x570. I think the x570s are better and newer. And as to what to get here, well thats a wide fucking choice again based...

    The Mandalorian

    ITs not just that, they dont have the programming yet unless you have kids that love the shit. But for average adults, whats there? How many fucking times you gonna watch Marvel movies or Star Wars? IMO they would be better off buying another studio or making a deal or some shit with Paramount...

    Ashes of Creation

    Yeah the thing about games like planetside is the leaders have all the fun playing chess with the plebs. Youre just another pawn. Redeployside. Still the game was tons of fun taking territory and shit. And you got tons of exp and other shit for doing it.

    Prey

    Again trying to appeal to women, but they have no clue. Most women dont relate to, and never will relate hero figures. A woman shoehorned into a male hero role. Nothing but a mens hero movie thats been done countless times only now with a female lead. Except women dont want to be heroes. Their...

    Same with PCs really. Unless youre a bleeding edge gamer, you can now get by with a $300 laptop and surf the net and do excels and PP just fine for years.

    Ok so you have this crypto mining now that is basically a waste of computing power, now do you understand my point I was trying to make? BAck to my OG point....Just imagine if all that computing power over the last 10 or so years of crypto was being used for scientific reasons.

    Again, seti bro, back in the pentium 3 days. They had 2 million plus computers running on a decentralized network mapping the sky piece by piece LOOOONG before crypto came around.

    Uhh there was, people have been looking at and using distributed computer systems for a long fucking time now. One was mentioned, SETI. As an undergraduate project Pi has now been calculated to a Quadrillion (1 with 18 zeroes) bits during a 2 year project. During those 2 years the combined...

    Golf was one of the first OG PS games I bought back in the day when I was working in KY and stuck in a apartment for 6 mos. Had all the other dudes come over and play it it was fun as hell. I think they only had like 2 games available when it launched. Golf, and Battle arena Toshinden, I fI...

    Meh, it just comes down to leadership , who you put in charge and stacking the deck with people that know what they are doing in your favor. Obviously reading your post and others here, they did not do a good job. There is plenty of people that understand the business and there are others that...

    The only thing I dont like about BDO is the dumb RNG bullshit on gear enhacing. That must be the most retarded aspect of any mmorpg I ever played.

    I agree. Maybe if we were there looking at his 4k screen in person, but I could only notice slight differences on mine. Either way the tech is cool, being able to upscale your shit to 4k resolutions and still maintain solid frames is the holy grail right now in gaming.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Wha? They sold 8 million copies, which including steam 30% is something like $165 million cash money. No one is saying they should become the next EA or Blizzard. But hiring on 100% more devs making it 10 people instead of 5 is not some wild expectations, lol. And if they have to, they can hire...

    I only recomendeed the case swap because he mentioned only 1/2 cm inlet on each side of his front cover. Either way I think hes good to go now those temps are way better.

    I have the OG Sears Kenmore brand washer and dryer I bought in mid 90s. Still going strong. Had to replace a couple of cheap sensors on the gas dryer like a year back, that was after what? 30 fucking years? Oh and the little plastic reciprocator"dogs" on the washer which come as a set for like...

    BF4 was a great game. Too bad some russian spy hacked my account and I could not ever get it back. And im not about to re-farm all the unlocks again.

    I would recommend a new case, along with at least a 240mm AIO. My kid has the last gen Ryzen and yeah they run hot, his room is by far the hottest in the house, even in winter. The thing is a fucking space heater.

    I cant even think of a time I would want to watch some dumb chick talk about some stupid shit I care nothing for. If I want to jack off there is 1000000 fucking other places to see hotties spread their shit, bonus, some dont even talk at all.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    D0nt forget the dark roof tiles, hehe. But yeah I agree. what a waste of a game. They made something special, thats for sure. They sold like 5-6 million units? All for waste because none of those 5-6 million will be around or even remember this game in 2028 when this shit will be done at this...

    Well there you go bro. Just in the proc and the Mo BO youre talking almost a grand right there. Add in the MSRP of the card at $800-$850 and youre nearing 2 grand. Plus all the other bullshit you got, ram, PS, HD etc.... Probably not the best of the best but like I said, this thing will run...
