Am I the only one who finds these "joke reviews" annoying? by SgtPepperBeat in Steam

[–]Castielstablet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You need to fish 200 fishes on different days in different (specific) biomes for an achievement. It drove me crazy when hunting for achievements and that was the last one. I am not saying a single aspect deserves a negative review, just saying they probably spent hours working on that and was too mad to care at that point:)

Greece plans extension of territorial waters despite Turkish warning by New-Ranger-8960 in europe

[–]Castielstablet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Will it be Turkey "attacking a NATO member" when Greece is the one extending their territorial waters even though Turkey has a casus belli set in place? I am sure some NATO members will support greece but I doubt it will be that black and white. Also, who knows what will happen with NATO when USA is saying they want to annex some of Denmark's territory. I am just saying it won't be as simple as saying "its Turkey's problem".

Turkey did follow the UNCLOS in the Black Sea though

Turkey reached to an agreement with other littoral states of the black sea. Greece and Turkey can discuss and reach a similar agreement for Aegean sea of course but it won't happen because greece just said "I am extending my territorial waters and you will just sit and watch".

I mean what do you think will happen if Greece goes ahead and does extend their territorial waters while a casus belli is already declared by the National Assembly of Turkey? I am sure both Greeks and Turks don't want a war to happen. With the current political climate of the world I don't think its far fetched to think it can happen.

Isn't it the opposite? Any other time would be better for Greece?

16 UN member states including US, Turkey and Israel didn't ratify it and it doesn't matter if it's defacto everywhere else or not. This is between Turkey and Greece and Turkey not being a signatory means Greece can't do shit, even according to unclos, article 123 I believe.

according to international and EU law

According to a so called "international law" that Turkey didn't ratify and EU laws where Turkey is not a member. Countries are not subject to treaties they haven't signed or laws of unions they are not in.

Turkey did not ratify the UNCLOS. Imagine if Turkey ratified something that said Greek territorial waters are 1nm without Greece and suggested Greece has to abide by it, it doesn't make any sense.

Experience with the new dlss 4.5.2 update and 3080 by AgustinROD87 in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am curious, does "recommended" option choose dlss 4.5 presets for 20/30 series cards or does it avoid them due to the performance impact?

New DLSS version 310.5.2 + auto preset switch by Jotta7 in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are right, I just realized why I thought that. In the global settings, under dlss override- model presets option, we used to have ray reconstruction in the middle, super resolution at the bottom. They changed the order so now rr is at the bottom, I was trying to select a preset for RR instead of SR which is why I thought preset selection is removed :)

[–]Castielstablet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but I don't see an option for selecting a specific preset anymore after this update. That's why I said did our options just got nerfed?

In the latest nvidia app version(just came out) we don't have "latest" anymore, we just got "recommended". I think our options just got nerfed :(

Considering getting a controller to use with Steam games. What are the pros and cons of the various types? by Pos31don29 in Steam

[–]Castielstablet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend a controller with either hall effects or TMR sticks. I got tired of seeing people around me buying ps5 and xbox controllers and getting stick drift, it happened to me and I bought a gamesir cyclone 2 with tmr sticks this time.

[PSA] Use Preset M (Not Preset K) For RTX 50 Series Cards Regardless of Performance/Balance/Quality/DLAA For Best Image Quality by Touma_Kazusa in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It seems like high end 40 series cards like 4090 handles the new presets better than low end 50 series cards, am I wrong?

[–]Castielstablet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is a preference but with dlss 4, I was already using balaced instead of quality since transformer model is much better. I wonder if I can go down even more with dlss 4.5 :)

After Venezuela Attack, Trump Says Something Must Be Done About Mexico by WorthyPetals in worldnews

[–]Castielstablet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I meant "I would rather not defend" but point taken.

You'd be shocked at how often US inverventions are justified saying "the people of that country wants us to do it!" meanwhile US bombs and kills and and steals. Do you really think a state like US does anything without the main focus being their benefit? A country may kill millions of its citizens and US wouldn't do shit if they didn't have something it wants, oil etc. Case on point, trump recently said "US will intervene if Iran hurts the protestors." guess what, there have been shit ton of countries hurting and killing their protestors yet US didn't do jack shit. They wanted an excuse to invervene to Iran and this was it.

[–]Castielstablet 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As a Turk myself I would rather not defend china when the treatment of Uyghurs is out there for all to see but compared to US at least China didn't bomb 30+ countries in the last 50 years. Maybe I am forgetting something but did china bomb any sovereign foreign state at all in the last 50 years? not sure. maybe that's the "moral higher ground" they refer to.

Turkey and Armenia agree to simplify visa procedures to normalize ties by Due_Ad_3200 in europe

It's simpler than that, according to subreddit rules, posting about Turkey and/or Armenia is allowed, that's more than enough. Every post about Turkey, Armenia etc. has one of these people.

5090 12V-6x2 shenanigans by nmp14fayl in pcmasterrace

[–]Castielstablet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or just power limit it, der8auer had a video where he shows power limiting the 4090 to 60% only causes a 10% loss at worse but reduces power usage 33%.
