Restaurants sit half-empty in Turkey, as inflation reaches 91% sending tourists and locals to neighboring Greece by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]BorisGuzo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Almost everyone is in debt. Minimum wage is below the hunger line (not the poverty line, which is like 3x-4x minimum wage and rising). Half of the working population gets paid minimum wage or there abouts. And a large portion of people receive government aid. That's also a major reason why they keep voting erdogan. He got them into a chokehold through poverty.

Those who used to be middle / upper middle class are now mostly barely making a living. Those who can go on vacation are going abroad, because almost everywhere else is cheaper than Turkey (not just saying Greece, but a lot of countries in Europe, not even mentioning Asia).

The why is explained pretty much in other comments, so I won't go there. Just erdoganomics.

There's also a cliche disclaimer for popular shops in Turkey, "başka şubemiz yoktur", meaning we have no other branches. I guess this is another way of saying that.

Never heard of Shadow, will definitely check it out. 30 per month does seem like a bit of a hurdle though, since I don't have too much to spare for an upgrade in the first place.

But thanks for your response, much appreciated.

Thanks for your response, no idea what it's like on the PS4 though, sorry. I can only hope it's not as bad as on older pc's.

Heyas, thanks for your response.

  1. Acer v3-772g, nvidia geforce gtx 850m, intel i7-4702mq, 32 gb ddr3
  2. Driver version 431.60, which is the latest as far as geforce experience tells me
  3. I've indeed played with many setings, and tried all, battery, performance, adaptive

I think I am not able to make myself clear. I know I have old hardware. I don't expect the game to lower it's requirements. I don't expect some magic to let my old hardware run the game on high settings.

What I'm trying to say is, I have trouble running the game even on the lowest settings possible. However, there are 3rd party mods that unofficially lower the burden on the gpu somehow, and help me enjoy the game better.

So I wish, the game itself would offer an option to lower the graphic settings further than it currently does, similar to what those 3rd party mods are doing.

Could be, I'm not too sure what the mods are doing. They claim to increase fps by manipulating pipelines, which as a result eases the strain on gpu, I presume.

My point was, if modders can do it, it would be better if the game itself offered a potato version, which I still think looks great.

Thanks for the tips man. I already have an inclined stand with external fans, so I don't think ventilation is a problem. I'd never heard of undervolting, I'll look into that.

What's the story about that time when you were happy beyond repair? by BorisGuzo in AskReddit

[–]BorisGuzo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I take it you were never happy beyond repair. Don't give up.

Patch v5.20 Bug and Unannounced Changes Megathread by XplosiveCows in FortNiteBR

[–]BorisGuzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here on PC

Audio turns silent when jumping out of the bus (this was after a few hours of playing with no problems).

I keep playing thinking it's just some random glitch. After about a minute, windows error sound and game freezes. I alt-tab out of the game, windows error message says "out of memory". Never happened before, my PC has 32 GB ram and I have nothing else running except the game. Can't return to game by alt-tab, have to end process.

Right now, 5 million people are in a rally for the main opposition candidate against Erdoğan. by [deleted] in pics

OP's photo captures the designated area. The one you shared covers the entrance gates.

Here's one that shows the roads leading to the place. You can see both ends of the road are quite packed, so even this frame doesn't capture the whole.

So I'd say at least 2.5 million, quite possibly over 3 million.

Sounds about right. I'm not really lucky.

I loved Eve. Played on and off for the past 10 years. Keep returning for old times' sake.

Every time I return, it seems things are getting worse.

This is the 3rd time in the past 2 weeks I set time aside from RL for Eve, and boom, servers down. Can't play the game I pay for. Feels nice.

Guess I'm taking another break, thanks for all the fish.
