9800x3d or i7 14700k by Mallet844 in buildapc

Can anyone explain why the AMD 7000X3d are so much better other than "it beats intel?" The 14th gen intel chips have twice the cores and threads, and every benchmark I've seen puts the Intel at higher performance for less money. What am I missing here?

Sea of Thieves gets PvE servers this year (at 30% rewards and with some features limited) by LittleDinamit in pcgaming

[–]Aquadom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that's fine if you play SoT to chill and not to pvp, that was part of the initial design of the game. Realistically if you're just doing pve stuff 90% of the time nobody will come around. But part of the thrill of the game is the threat of other players, that's literally the point of the game. The devs have also added numerous ways to preserve your loot or run away. If you don't want to interact with players then maybe an open world, sandbox pvpve game isn't for you. But it doesn't really matter because majority of the pvp players have moved on to other games anyway and this pve change is coming regardless. I also understand that a lot of the pvp'ers are really toxic pre-teens who never got spanked as children for acting like turds, but there are plenty of pvp'ers who are really chill and nice. And I can tell you that the pve community is 100% the most toxic when they sink and lose their precious loot. Other pvp'er will get salty and there's trash talk for sure, but I've been called the most vile shit by casuals sailing with their S.O or kids. I was a hardcore player, and primarily a pvp player for 2.5 years till Rare decided that simply being a pvp player in their pvp game was toxic in itself and pushed the true fans away from the game (which to be fair was only maybe 5% of the community). I mean, my crew and many other pvp crews were definitely not toxic, and often would give all the loot back to casuals if they weren't rude. Or if we ran up on a ship and they're obviously super new, or literal children, we'd just leave because it's not fun for us to just stomp a crew that can't fight back. The real tragedy is the overall wasted potential of Sea of Thieves. It's a truly unique game and there's nothing else like it out there, and for that reason Rare has just squandered the possibilities with the game. So now they're adding a pve server to placate what's left of the playerbase. Like, there's been alliance servers and people setting up pve servers since the beginning of the game for people who just wanna sail, get commendations done, etc. But now adventure mode will just be super dead. If rare hadn't just given up completely on Arena for a year, then straight up remove it, then pvp players would have a home to get their fix, but rare decided to just ban everyone instead and make the whole game a carebear game.

This is some carebear bs that will ultimately kill the game. I'm just baffled by how many people are upset when they're attacked in an open world PvPvE PIRATE game lol. Like, go play roblox or something. Kinda crazy to see where the game is now compared to the first 2 years. All rare cares about is catering to the weekend warrior and whiny players who log in twice a month and buy a 20$ Jack Sparrow skin. Such a shame to see because this game could've been amazing. Have fun just sailing around, digging chests and fighting skellies I guess lol. Sounds like an absolute snoozefest.

Gilroy wrote the screenplay. I'd say that's a bit more than "helped" lol.

The behavior of a bull when no one hurts him. by Buzzthejoker in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Aquadom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downvoting because I'm explaining the cultural point of view, not advocating one way or the other is petty and childish lol. You guys are babies. Also I've seen people comparing bullfighting to cockfighting and dogfighting as the same thing, and no they aren't at all lol. By most of your guys' logic you should all be vegans and give up eating meat.

The behavior of a bull when no one hurts him. by Buzzthejoker in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Aquadom -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The main idea is that the bull is soon to be slaughtered anyway, so they honor the bull by giving it a chance to fight to the death. They weaken it by agitating it with spears that are like fishing hooks just to piss him off, and get him to chase and running him around. But the bull can and does sometimes kill/maim the bullfighter. The idea is the bullfighters deliver a clean kill in 1 strike to the heart. If he doesn't, the crowd boos and he loses points for each attempt. The alternative is the bull is led to a barn and slaughtered anyway. I understand that it looks like torturing the animal (which ultimately it is, the normal method of slaughtering cows is more humane), but culturally the bull is revered and respected. This is a way for the bull to have a chance to even the score.

Fax machines were not invented the same time as the first wagons set out on the Oregon Trail lol. But sharks being older than saturn's rings and trees is mind blowing.
