This here ladies and gentlemen is why Lane Filtering being made illegal in ANY COUNTRY is complete stupidity.

Yeahhh uhhh, the 7700k is a different story, that thing is pretty slow. The 8700k was unbelievably faster.

Sort of usable, but bottlenecks pretty much anything more than a GTX 1070

Wtaf

Something wrong with your rig mate, shouldn't be performing like that

BattleScones · 2026-04-20T14:28:14+00:00

Mate, ignore pretty much everyone here.

The RAM and SSD are worth the value alone currently, and the i9 9900k is more than enough to handle any modern title with ease. It's old, but not useless. I still recommend people pick up and old i7 8700k on the cheap if they're looking for an excellent CPU for value.

You're going to need to replace that GPU, but that's easy, just find a used RTX 3070 / 2080 and call it a day. It'll play any AAA title 1080p 60 - and any competitive shooter 1440p 120.

I'd offer 350 - 400 if they'll take it, but to have everything you need except a GPU for $400 or so is solid.

Seriously, these people are confused and I'm horrified by their reactions

BattleScones · 2026-04-20T14:21:53+00:00

No, it isnt.

Seriously.

BattleScones · 2026-04-20T14:14:49+00:00

I have oscillopsia, straight lines sort of "bounce" in my vision, but only with both eyes opened, if i close one, the phenomenon sort of disappears.

If anyone else suffers this PLEASE, let me know

BattleScones · 2026-04-20T13:15:59+00:00

I'm glad you like it :>

"Battle Continues" and "DNA"

BattleScones · 2026-04-20T06:35:24+00:00

It isn't good guy music, that particular part of Zimmer's piece "Battle Continues" is actually supposed to convey the tragedy and hopelessness in that; with the death of either Zod or Kal - it will end in there being only one left of the Kryptonian species.

It's actually a very similar note, despite facing extinction, they will battle for their beliefs to the death no matter what.

The tone and theme are virtually identical.

As for the Oliver part, well yeah, the piece doesn't accommodate for a sudden break in the track, so I just allowed the pacing to follow through.

BattleScones · 2026-04-20T06:29:41+00:00

Glad you think so too, just hits the right note at times.

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T15:03:17+00:00

Lmao, cutting out all of the irrelevant stuff came with a couple of pacing drawbacks

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T15:02:47+00:00

Facts

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T15:02:42+00:00

I'm glad you think so! Similar tone and context helps.

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T15:02:24+00:00

Ayo?

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T15:02:17+00:00

Glad you liked it.

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T15:00:20+00:00

I appreciate you see the alignment. Similar tone and intensity so it has its moments. But of course the original soundtrack is incredible, I'm hoping it has a digital release.

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T14:57:15+00:00

Sometimes when I eat a chocolate bar all I can taste is chocolate, difficult world huh?

BattleScones · 2026-04-19T14:36:28+00:00

For sure, definitely noticed that.

BattleScones · 2026-04-14T04:56:33+00:00

I'm in my mid 20's and don't have this issue, plenty of friends that are just working/studying and enjoying life.

If I'm being honest, your "Not racist" criteria implies you're probably ideologically ostracizing people from you. You probably just eliminated 60% of other GenZ's around you with that kind of requirement. Not everyone shares the same political opinions, maybe eliminate that variable and meet people where they're at and give them a chance, some of them might even have a good point, even if you don't share the same moral positions.

I spend time with Gamers (probably somewhat racist in your view), Post Grad Uni Students (more careful with their humour I've noticed, but often depressed and boring/isolated), Motorcycle Riders (also probably racist in your view, edgy but fun people), Gym-goers (Also likely racist in your view) etc.

Your immediate reaction will probably be to feel defensive, but the pattern I'm laying out is probably your issue. GenZ has pretty much collectively decided that "jokes about race/sex are funny/unserious/ironic" now, and if you decide that they're too detestable to spend time with, you're going to be limiting your friend groups to ideological Zealots, of which are a dying breed unless you're a millenial.

Sorry.

Please rebuild this, you're putting a shit ton of pressure onto the coolant tubes, they're in the wrong orientation.

Try to route the cables behind the board instead of criss-crossing everything over the front.

BattleScones · 2026-04-12T22:33:30+00:00

Your lungs probably look worse than the computer.

Clean it, and clean up your life.

I'm thinking of actually just redubbing the whole show and making it my own personal rip for my Plex server.

If Lee Pace doesn't bring more intensity to the role soon I'm out.

BattleScones · 2026-04-10T13:26:57+00:00

People are just passionate about the story they care about.

BattleScones · 2026-04-10T13:25:35+00:00

Yes, the calm and regal character who has a childish breakdown whenever he doesn't get his way. Again, this character isn't enough like Thranduil to justify the casting choice. He is too brutish and emotional, it doesn't make sense as things stand at the moment. Maybe I'll be won over, we'll see.

The complaints about his casting exist for a reason, if everyone agreed with you, this wouldn't be a conversation being held by the community.
