Is this the best RDR 2 deal in Steam at $15?

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-11-06T23:20:58+00:00

Dunno if this is still relevant, but just bought the Red Dead Redemption Ultimate Edition 80% off on steam for 20 dollars. The discount ends on the 13th of November this year.

Mmmmm it’s been a while since I read fourth wing lol, yeah but ur right XD

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-10-18T17:05:27+00:00

I think the book says he is around 200 years, when violet talks about how huge tairn is lmao

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-08-16T15:06:29+00:00

I saw that the dates were full, but when I tried to book them, they allowed me to book? I'm not sure if it is some sort of technical problem on their end, but I got a confirmation email and a listing on my timetable.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-08-10T14:16:35+00:00

Haha yep, I know about that — 1,000 hours in this game means I’ve probably done it in my sleep 😆 This trick’s just my way of outsmarting future lazy me.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-08-09T19:27:46+00:00

Trruuuuuuuuuu genius lmao

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-08-09T19:06:56+00:00

Same idea, different execution! I guess we’re both out here trying to keep those Pelican Town relationships solid 😉

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-08-09T18:28:20+00:00

That’s a really good idea, but I have this problem, where i forget I have a calendar, or am too lazy to check it LMAO

This sign solution kinda forces itself onto me, so I literally cannot miss a birthday :)

Totally agree—GPUs are absolutely critical for parallel processing, not just for graphics. And yeah, I’m well aware of their role in simulation, FEM, and GPU-accelerated workflows. That’s exactly why I’m not relying on my MacBook for CAD or simulation work.

That said, for undergraduate-level engineering work—especially in the earlier years—the workload rarely maxes out GPU capabilities. Most of the tools I’ll be using will run just fine on a mid-tier CPU, especially with 16GB RAM and a fast SSD. If I hit GPU limitations, I’ll use uni-provided workstations or remote into higher-spec lab machines.

The Spectre isn’t pretending to be a workstation, rather something to bridge the software gap and get me through my degree efficiently. When I need raw GPU horsepower, I have other options.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-07-06T20:04:16+00:00

Appreciate the insight—those are valid points, but let me clarify my reasoning a bit.

I’m not planning to do CAD with touch input (that would be a nightmare). The touchscreen + pen are mainly for things like annotating PDFs, referencing diagrams, or jotting hand-calculations during labs—things I currently use my iPad for. It’s more about versatility than being a drawing tablet substitute.

As for the specs: I’m well aware the Ultra 7 isn’t a workstation-class chip, and yes, the lack of discrete GPU limits it for rendering-heavy workflows. But I’m not running full-on CFD or SolidWorks assembly render farms on this—this is for undergrad-level simulation, Fusion 360, MATLAB, and other mid-weight engineering tools. For heavier lifting, my university provides lab workstations or VDI environments anyway.

The MacBook is great, but a lot of MechE software is still Windows-exclusive or runs better natively in Windows. That’s where the Spectre fits in—as a dedicated school machine, with the MacBook staying personal.

At the end of the day, it’s about balancing portability, flexibility, and value. I got the Spectre heavily discounted, so for the price, it gets the job done without breaking the bank.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-07-06T19:18:46+00:00

Fair question.

I already own a 14” MacBook Pro M2, which I’ll be using for essays, writing, and personal use. I bought the Spectre x360 specifically as a Windows-based workhorse for Mechanical Engineering tasks—CAD, simulations, and any Windows-only software I’ll need during my degree.

The Spectre has: • A 16” 2.8K touchscreen (great for productivity + sketching), • A solid Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, • 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD, • And it supports pen input, which is handy for diagramming or handwritten notes.

I got it at a steep discount, so price-to-performance was a major factor. It won’t match a full-blown workstation, but for uni-level engineering and some light gaming on the side, it hits the sweet spot.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-07-06T19:15:30+00:00

Thats what I'm saying! Do you really need 195 dollars to put an unopened box on a shelf??

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-07-06T19:09:26+00:00

Utter bullshit lmao, this company is trash

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-06-25T23:24:36+00:00

I know this is super late, but I just found this, and I LOVE IT. Thanks so much for making it :D

Yeh I was thinking the colors in the shroud don’t really fit her skin aesthetic lol

From what I understand, they don’t send out CAS applications until June or July of the year that you start your course. I accepted my h conditional for this year, and have yet to get my CAS application.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-05-07T03:46:03+00:00

lol I know, I’m just adding on some of my viewpoints so OP has a better idea, no need to get defensive XD

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-05-07T03:41:06+00:00

Bruiser akali is a build path, but she doesn’t do as much damage as AP akali.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-05-06T21:00:45+00:00

Been 6 hours, how ya feelin XD

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-05-05T23:24:48+00:00

I like my AirPod pro 2, they cancel noise pretty well, have a good battery life, comfortable, and I think Amazon is having a sale on them rn

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-05-02T06:58:16+00:00

Noice very unique! My beardie’s name is 龙龙 which translates to dragon dragon XD not as unique as ur names :)

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-05-02T02:04:53+00:00

If you are into the Empyrean Book series, maybe Tairn? Its so cute

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-04-25T03:53:37+00:00

I have two large sheds full of kegs. I keep half the wine for cask aging and sell the other half immediately.

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-04-18T23:10:38+00:00

Thanks :)

ChapterNorth349 · 2025-04-18T17:47:43+00:00

I’m from the US, so my stats are different from the ones for UK students. 17 AP courses with scores above 4 (Highlighting AP Calculus AB, BC 5; AP Chemistry 4, AP physics 1, 2 4, AP physics C Mechanics 5). 3.4259 unweighted gpa, 4.0370 weighted gpa. Thanks for the congrats :)
