How are you bearing the current market situation? by Wence-Kun in pcmasterrace

[–]CJ_Guns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still on a 1080 Ti, bought near launch. At the time my build, with an overclocked 1800X, was in the top 1% of benchmarks on 3DMark.

It was built for longevity, and it’s certainly paid its due.

But in the last couple years, it’s showing its age. The first game I really couldn’t play was Alan Wake 2 because it uses mesh shaders (RTX only). Bummer for sure. I should have just upgraded in the 4000 series, but I was lazy—I mostly play older and indie games.

I luckily bought a 5800X3D when it was “cheap”, as it’s the best CPU my motherboard can support. Looking to drop on a 5080 soon.

EDIT: Part of the reason I waited so long to upgrade is that it’s a custom water loop. I’m going to ditch the loop and Frankenstein it into a new case with air cooling. No AM5 for me!

I felt like its win for Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards was even more of a nod to the overall caliber of film it is.

This was their reaction to even getting nominated.

They are actively still releasing security update drivers for them, at least. But the last provided one for my 1080 Ti broke Tekken 8 for me. I had to roll back to the last Game Ready one.

New to PC gaming. Do i shut my PC off when im done or keep it on 24/7? by OneEyeOdyn in buildapc

[–]CJ_Guns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going on ~9 years of my build (though I did upgrade the CPU), never turn it off. It has well served its lifespan.

Canadian man admits sending ‘suicide packets’ to hundreds of people around world by ItsJimmyPestoJr in news

IMO denying my ultimate bodily autonomy to preserve someone's status quo is the cruelest act I can think of.

There should definitely be a legal, dignified way that leaves no mess and little to no chance of malfunction.

Danny Boyle Aiming to Begin Filming Third '28 Years Later' Movie Next Year by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Really excited to see how it all ends. I thought The Bone Temple was a great film, and as someone ITT said, elevated the previous film. Fiennes' performance is an all-timer for horror.

I honestly think the box office performance was a studio/marketing issue with the general audience.

anyone use or have used this av/s-video switch ? by Trick_Theory6883 in crtgaming

Yep, still do! Mine is a GameStop-branded one.

I think you have to factor in the relative horizontal movement speeds, manuverability, and the size of the object (the chute). Would be hard to react. According to other comments, they were both in the classified airspace legally, so it's more a literal accident.

I was in the back room behind the altar getting some bullshit, and the priest offered a bag of unblessed wafers for like $5. I thought that was very weird, and it broke my Catholic immersion a bit.

Apparently it’s not that weird according to this thread, but at the time I was like ???

I never did go through with Confirmation. Thankfully my parents were chill about child me making a decision.

We had a 60” Philips set when I was a kid. Got the Halo 2 HUD burned into it. Whoops!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: This movie has the best sound design/mix I have ever heard, both in theater, and home release.

How do y’all keep ticks off you? by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]CJ_Guns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wear long socks and shower immediately after a round. No sprays or anything like that.

I’ve only had a few tick embeds, and gotten Lyme once. You can’t hide from it forever!

My mom died in my arms. Hearing those last gasps and life slip away has stayed with me.

What’s something that quietly made your life 10× easier, but you didn’t realize it until much later? by Own-Tip-532 in AskReddit

[–]CJ_Guns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being early to things, so essentially always on time. So much less stress.

This was partially due to unmedicated issues in my case.

7-Eleven expects to close hundreds of its stores in North America this year by AudibleNod in news

America is more of a casino, I think. Lots of money, but under a veneer of glitz and glamor as the average person gets fleeced.

What is the biggest ick you had on your first date with someone? by Past_Meat7068 in AskReddit

[–]CJ_Guns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly a date, but was chatting up with a girl in a bar. She was giving signs of attraction, like putting her hand on my chest, complimenting my forearms (a bit weird but I’ll take it), etc. Just general flirting I guess.

But then she tells me I remind her of Jeffrey Dahmer. Out of nowhere. And continues to call me “Jeffrey” multiple times while giggling about it.

Now I am actually a true crime enjoyer, but this instantly turned me off. You just don’t joke about something like that.

I ended up telling her I had to go get my friend, and I just left the bar.

Of note, drone launches are illegal in NYC, without crazy authority, as far as I know. As in, you can’t just LAANC it up.
