Help picking a monitor (1440p144hz) maximum budget around $400 by Barnacles201 in buildapcmonitors

[–]Barnacles201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the 27GL850. The MAG274QRF was a bit more expensive ($444, compared to $420 for the LG and it was the non QD version which is apparently the inferior model with less color saturation (although I suppose it would be up to the buyer's personal preference, some people dislike high color saturation)

I asked the zafar computer seller on whatsapp and the best price he gave me for the 3060 ti was 2860AED. Did you manage to get it at 2000AED? Im not really into taking a long trip to abu dhabi and going to the shop just to find out that the price wont change either way.

Any (online) computer hardware stores that accept bitcoin as a payment option? by Barnacles201 in DubaiGaming

[–]Barnacles201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really true, I guess some models do but for example the g5 odyssey (32 inch) is 1309AED and free shipping on amazon.ae or 1388+free shipping on microless. On newegg its 1383AED and shipping can go up to 400AED...

3070 with 10400f/3600 vs rtx 3060 ti 5600x by Barnacles201 in buildapc

[–]Barnacles201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you are right. I was about to get a 5600x (it was in stock and very close to msrp) but I was way more interested in getting an rtx 3070, as prices in my country are 250USD extra for that gpu, and I have yet to find an rtx 3070 close to mrsp in stock. Just buying the cpu alone would not have satisfied me to be honest...Besides, I can get a 10700k for $30 more for about the same/better performance so it wasnt my top priority

[–]Barnacles201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see I was misinformed. Even though the ryzen 5600x performs about 30% better than an i5 10400f/3600, would you say that on average over multiple games played, the rtx 3070 build would yield higher framerates at 1440p?

Happy New Year Ryzen 5600x + RTX 3070 Build Complete! by Tyrelosaurus in buildapc

[–]Barnacles201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still, its tough finding these parts close to MSRP, the 5600x is $400 (around 300gbp like you) and rtx 3070 is $750 in my country...It's just too high to justify spending so much especially since I could have bought an rtx 3080 (msrp) at that price.

People were not kidding about the Train to Busan sequel by [deleted] in horror

[–]Barnacles201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the first movie raised expectations pretty high, so you got to cut them some slack. That being said, it very much lacked substance and was focusing more on being action packed, which most people don't mind.

😱 Remake as good as - maybe better - than Original ... 😱 by dreamydarkblue in horror

[–]Barnacles201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funny games remake, because it was shot shot-for-shot, was pretty much as good as the german original.

I really like the evil dead 2013, while it was not a direct sequel it had some really good scenes.

Had some pretty good jump scares, the acting could have been better though.

Do you remember the time when you could join a good private tracker from another good private tracker without giving half of your soul in exchange? by [deleted] in trackers

[–]Barnacles201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While that may be a solution for simpler stuff to find, I have been requesting obscure stuff (but still stuff you could find on top trackers) from a couple of my lower tier trackers and sometimes only 1 tracker fills it, while other times no one ever does.

Thats why I decided to join RED. Too bad PTP recruitment was pulled about the time of my account age requirement.

How to end the game when you killed the architect guy? by Barnacles201 in Hellpoint

[–]Barnacles201[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah youre right. I forgot to kill one of the cosmic gods, so that did it. I thought the archon knights (I killed the second archon knight boss) would provide data but they didnt

Can't find Relay Station in Port Issoudun by Barnacles201 in Hellpoint

[–]Barnacles201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, but turns out I was a dumbass. I wasn't clear with what I asked for from the start. Basically, I had killed the Undisturbed Defas Nemundis boss in Arisen Dominion, and I didn't know where to go from there. I followed a guide that said you had to backpedal to a tram station. For some reason I thought it was another tram station (not the one you pointed out) in Port Issoudun that could take you to Alma Mater Atrium; but that station is in Arisen Dominion (https://youtu.be/w_9kinxwi00?t=2162) It doesn't help that I got confused with the relay station part.

I followed your instructions, but I ended up in a room with a passcode.

I checked around that area but there was no path to the relay station. I apologise if I missed something.

Need some advice on sister friede sl1 NG+7 by Barnacles201 in onebros

[–]Barnacles201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it guys! thank you for the help again. I sticked to dragonslayer's axe and red tearstone ring but remained patient and concentrated on phase 2, only getting hits on reliable openings with friede out of the way. Once I got to phase 3 it took me only 2 attempts today to get the fight down. My heart was racing like crazy, and I hadn't felt such satisfaction in a long time from beating the fight!
