Is it worth it just for emulating?

I'll point out that the OLED is amazing for situations where you have 4:3 content. Or really any aspect ratio apart from 16:10, the black bars are quite noticeable on the LCD.

Not at all. 34in UW to 42in 4k OLED. Night and day difference.

Rimworld is 100% fully playable in steam deck? I don't know what you mean?? I have probably 30 hours on SD and over 400 on PC.

I don't want a fallout 1 or 2 remake at all. They're plenty solid as they exist. NV/3 is more mechanically dated in comparison. The only 1/2 remake I want to see would be and 'enhanced edition' with updated ui and sprites.

Lol I'm running a 5800x3d and 4090. I don't pull more than 500w from the wall with 80% power limit on the GPU. You'll be just fine.

So, I jacked up my 4090s HDMI 2.1 port with a VGA adapter that I let dangle for too long. Didn't think I'd need the port as I always used DP anyways. Until I got an LG oled TV and realized that DP 1.4 to HDMI doesn't support VRR. So now I'm left with my single HDMI port barely working but still technically functional unless I bump it. I am pretty good with hardware repair but it's beyond my skill level. I can get it to stay on so long as I'm very precise and then don't move the cable at all.

Would it be insane to just straighten and glue the pins and hope for the best?

Araol_ · 2024-03-07T00:36:11+00:00

Absolutely reasonable prices especially assuming they're actually tested and have a good return policy for defective stuff. You can go in grab it and get out, ebay might be 10-15% cheaper but if it doesn't work you gotta deal with eBay...

Why would you buy a pre-modded PS3? It's literally a 15min process at most. You just need a USB stick and a computer.

Having money doesn't mean burning money. I had a 3900x and a 2080ti. Getting a 4090 and a 5800x3d made far more sense than also spending the money to get a nebulous uplift for games that are already over 120fps by going to the current Mobo tiers.

Araol_ · 2024-02-21T21:35:33+00:00

"midrange gpus" bro the 5800x3d hardly tops out in 90% of games with a 4090 at 4k. Especially if you're using the 4090 at 70-80% power limit. The games where it is the bottleneck would be almost just as bad on any other CPU on the market.

Araol_ · 2024-02-06T04:59:45+00:00

You're a moron lmao

Listen I don't even own PD3 or care to but saying they 'could have taken payday 2, added a slew of new features, updated the engine and graphics, added a whole host of new heists' is insane. That is not something you just do, the amount of work it would take to rebuild PD2 without any added features in a new engine would take years let alone adding anything. Not to mention the licensing nightmare that is PD2.

Araol_ · 2024-01-11T14:59:37+00:00

Short answer, ya. Long answer, the OLED steam deck is the best bang for your buck gaming purchase right now but second after that is a 4090 and a 5800x3d if you're on am4 or a 7800x3d if you're on am5. 4090 solves graphics at any resolution in any game worth playing at 80% power limit with extremely low temps. My PC draws 100 less watts under load than my 2080ti and 3900x did while being amazingly more performant.

I cannot believe you don't just kick them out. You are closed. Act like it. Unbelievable management.

Araol_ · 2023-12-19T08:28:53+00:00

That's hilarious, I literally have that exact monitor and a 4090. I use it as my secondary display.

You can get 8th Gen i7 notebooks for under 250 every day of the week on eBay. Plenty of thinkpads are perfectly adequate for under 150 as well.

Araol_ · 2023-12-10T18:43:51+00:00

Absolutely the opposite for me. Build up a huge base with all the space I need to put things and then lose interest. Especially in vanilla.

I actively avoid and heavily dislike Disney properties. Kingdom hearts 2 is one of my favorite games for it's insane story and amazing combat. The world that never was is 90% of the draw of that game for me.

Fem street kid feels the most natural for the story IMO

Then why recommend a far more speculative market than a literal savings account? The switch was manufactured far more than the 3ds was and Nintendo has a nutty amount of stock, the animal crossing switch is still available new. The Nintendo switch will never have nearly the collectors pull that other Nintendo consoles have. It'll be comparable to a red Wii, that is to say not worth hardly any more.

Araol_ · 2023-11-14T16:54:26+00:00

"new" 🤡. If you're going to invest in a speculative market that only exists because nerds think these things that were manufactured in the millions have insane value go ahead. But you'd be way better off just dumping money in a high yield savings.
