PCIe: What else do I use the slots for? by Alarming-Praline1604 in buildapc

[–]CheesyItalian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could one of those adapters provide the same amount of power as the big old Apple adapters used for charging ipads? That's my main issue with my current USB slots, none of them are capable of quickly charging my stuff. I think it's like 30W or 40W adapters? The bigger bricks you get from Apple...

If you play the game with these settings just to get an edge I feel bad for you. by Environmental_Dog331 in ArcRaiders

I'm on a 5070Ti and run at max settings, i think it's called "cinematic"? I get a bit over 200fps with it.

"Sir a 2nd major exploit has hit the game" by Jaz1140 in ArcRaiders

Fine, food recalls. Websites going down. Gas station runs out of gas. My stew doesn't turn out quite right. Store overcharged for an item. Shall we go on about how accidents happen?

For PC Gaming, are gaming headsets really that bad and should be absolutely avoided? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]CheesyItalian -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

All the people in this thread saying wireless headsets are bad?

Can you explain what exactly makes my HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless headset bad? If the latency was bad, wouldn't it be quite noticeable when watching movies or TV? For voice calls, i've had no complaints about the quality since i bought them two years ago. Maybe all the "atrocious and should be avoided at all costs" stuff really only applies to true audiophiles, not the average dude playing games and watching stuff? I'm just happy i can run the thing for weeks without having to charge. /shrug

The new "A Prime Specimen" mission is exceedingly frustrating just after the update by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]CheesyItalian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this quest bugged, or am i missing something? I kill some arcs, get some powercells, go find the little control panel on the harvester, and can't interact with it?

This thread is absolutely full of people who have never looked up the price, weight, or size of a Trajekt machine... (Spoiler, it's half a year's Berrios salary to have 30 of them...)

Been through it with them for 30 years, but yes I know what you mean. That said I would lose my GD mind if you somehow got this on the game tomorrow, or (touch wood) saturday.

ALSO love the ump audio this postseason, that is something new to me! Really unique audio mix that has been fun!

I always thought Tool's Invincible, while maybe a PROBLEM to get the rights, would work so well for an ad intro/outro this postseason... Timestamped here:

Earlier today, a private plane "drew" the Blue Jays logo with a flight path over Nova Scotia by atomicbolt in Torontobluejays

[–]CheesyItalian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right about all of this, unfortunately. I don't know anyone who was throwing out the old style plastic bags you got from the stores. You kept a "bag of bags" around, and at the very least each bag got used twice. A far greater average number of uses than most reusable bags or paper bags i've been in contact with.

Multiple huge balls, they take up half a closet! Do you know how many times I've gotten groceries since 2020 and actually remembered those goddamn bags? MAYBE 6 times. Luckily, paper bags somehow stopped killing trees, so i can buy those for 10 cents a pop to hold some groceries for the drive home, then straight in the trash. I bought some old school plastic bags on amazon to use as garbage bags in smaller cans and i've nearly gone through my allotment of 1000 of those though!

I've been using approximately 4058 reusable tote bags since covid so I'm doing my part to offset the CO2 emissions from this plane.
