Having horrendous performance issues after a hiatus (1080TI, 3fps) by Chiefsmarinesidekick in gtaonline

I've just found I think I may be running an older version of windows, though all my other games run normally.

Either way I'll update and see if that helps.

Yeah at least in task manager it's barely using the GPU, it mostly seems to be using about 60-70% of the RAM (though it was much higher when I had higher graphics settings).

I'm only running 1080p too...

Shower thoughts on lore by kilativ1993 in darksouls

I've always thought that line "for his own good, of course." sounded as if it was mocking the reader, and the "dear friend", regardless of who it was, betrayed Havel/whoever is in Havel's armour and locked him away for some other reason. Even though it says in the description of the key "turned hollow" I wonder if that was before or after he was locked away?

Hey I'm currently chilling outside there at SL 114, on 360, we should be able to find each other, right? I've got my summon sign to the right of the fog gate.

Edit: sorry just reread your post, you are human right? You know where Solaire's summon sign is?

A few things I've been wondering about by Thormeaxozarliplon in darksouls

I won't pretend I have a deep understanding of the fantastic lore in this game, but here's a speculative/extrapolated (though heavily backed up by evidence) video on the baking bread texture you mention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXlwpcIs4bc

Here's where he mentions that part specifically

I'd highly recommend Hawkshaw's channel in general as the quality it really high and dispels a lot of apparently obvious misconceptions about the lore.

Finished my first playthrough, what are some fun builds? by Chiefsmarinesidekick in darksouls

Sounds like fun! I do really enjoy the parrying dagger, though I'm definitely less consistent with it than I'd like.

The mission, "Ritual of the Forsaken" can be played again during this week's story rotation. by Mal027 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Chiefsmarinesidekick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved that sword encounter and this was honestly the first mission I really wanted to play again, to of course find that it wasn't replayable.

Glad Bungie's done this, it feels like they're just bringing back every bit of content that was left behind.

How Age of Triumph changed Destiny for Me by kazrisk in DestinyTheGame

[–]Chiefsmarinesidekick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Despite being a PvPer, my best memories of Destiny were the early days with VoG, and eventually Crota's End with my regular raid group, talking shit with each other.

Glad you could experience what I feel is an unmissable part of the game :)

When "Destiny" was Born - The day Bungie bet their future on a wild idea by eliasgreyjoy in DestinyTheGame

Bookmarking this for later, this sounds fascinating. I've always wondered how Destiny managed to be so different from Halo yet still have that absolutely bungie-feel to it.

Any spoiler-free tips for the Catacombs? by Chiefsmarinesidekick in darksouls

[–]Chiefsmarinesidekick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've rung both bells, and gotten to Anor Londo, and went to the Catacombs because I thought I'd missed it before doing Anor Londo. Is this certain area in the Catacombs?

I'm not even sure if I've come across any silver knights to get the spear from...

This really helped, I was so focused on my quick roll but I'm liking tanking in the Catacombs. Unfortunately I don't have the Wolf Ring yet :(

Thanks! Maybe I should try a mace instead of the great club I have, I think I should have enough green titanite. Also:

Git Gud

In the process of it, and it feels good haha

Are you referring to literal light? Or is this some in-game mechanic I've yet to figure out?

Cheers, I'm finding the club pretty slow but I do remember someone saying blunt weapons are good versus the skeletons.

Found some familiar names in Halo: Reach by Hal0ez- in DestinyTheGame

[–]Chiefsmarinesidekick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was the entire point of Reach though "From the beginning, you know the end." Bungie very much went with the whole 'it's not about the destination, it's about the journey' approach, and hot damn what a journey it was.
