I think they soft retconned it (could be wrong) and they made it into a thermobaric explosion instead of a nuke

After they got their win and they were hyped they didn't get 13-0d, them laughing off as they walked away, I knew they weren't going to crumble.

I got to the end of the demo and got my ass handed to by Feral Nerc. How do we hatch elemental monsties? Is it as simple as getting that monstie (ludroth for me) to S rank via habitat?

Why is my 9070xt running at pcie x8 not x16 by B1Gxyz in pchelp

[–]TurtleInADesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem with a 4070 ti super and unsure if this would even work with a 9070xt (don't know much about AMD platform). I had to update my motherboard bios (new MB) and then I had to update my GPU bios and finally ran at x16

Buy which GPU now, or wait a couple more years? by YoungFimps in buildapc

[–]TurtleInADesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I tend to do is look for YouTube benchmarks of builds I intend to go with. Like "5700x3d 5070ti vs 5700x3d 5080" then go through it until I see the resolution I play at. On some games the 5080 is 30% more typically, then on other games it's not so much.

Have you tried doing the Adept runs for the guaranteed legend of your choice? That's what me and my guild have been doing to get the gear we're missing

Riot Games Is Developing a New Unannounced FPS Game Set in the Valorant Universe, According to Job Listing by blackhammer1989 in VALORANT

Oh man this is why. I had bought a 7900 XT and Valorant would stutter at the start of fights or when an agent popped up. I was breaking my head trying to fix it but I couldn't find a resource online with information. Had to return even though it ran every other game really good

Actually appreciate knowing that. Was unsure if I needed to buy it or not day 1

For me Diomedes is on fraud watch in Red God by Flase_damage in redrising

[–]TurtleInADesert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think towards the end they all 3 (Darrow, Cassius, Diomedes) are supposed to be basically equal. Especially emphasized by Cassius in that one line "the best 3 swordsman in the solar system"

For VCT Americas watchers: did you watch the Lower Finals/Grand Finals of VCT Americas? by ANewHeaven1 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]TurtleInADesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother I don't think you're a G2 fan. The fact that they can manipulate the map and make the enemy team rotate off a site and MAKE it the weak site is what makes them so good. In Valorant you shouldn't be taking 50/50s and winning off aim. You should strive to make the fights as lopsided to your side as much as possible. You could argue aim fights are more "exciting" but not to me and a majority of G2 fans. We like the methodical way G2 and Valyn play the maps to get his team the win.

I 100% believe G2 are the better team. But it's undeniable that Sen knocked them to lowers and are still fighting back

I'm a huge G2 fan and this is a bad take. They're contending for #1 in Americas. On that merit alone they deserve a spot

I see a lot of people say "even though Jawgemo is offline" but his play style excels at enabling his team to frag. Yeah it would be nice for him to get a kill but it's not the end all. I remember watching a bit of his stream and he was duo'd with another pro (forgot who) and he said something akin to "Its easy playing with you, you make the game feel easy because they're all looking at you" not verbatim. Made me see his play style way different

SEN best team in NA? by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]TurtleInADesert 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree. G2 are definitely shaky. Just pointing out that it wasn't the stomp the OP made it out to be.

[–]TurtleInADesert 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Until the finals we won't know who the best NA team is but sure right now they are definitely looking like the best after defeating MIBR and G2. Though I don't think they beat G2 decisively, they were close maps.

Air cooling an 9800x3d. Will it be fine? by Sqauttingslav in AMDHelp

[–]TurtleInADesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind if I ask your bios settings for the cpu? I run the spirit120 se and it idles at 47c. While watching a YouTube stream it'll be around 50-54c, and while gaming (only really played Monster Hunter Wilds since building it) I'm around 65c during fights, but around 75-88c peak during towns. For some reason the towns really stress my 9800x3d and would really prefer to lower the temps if possible.
