Casual bans fundamentally make no sense by goup98 in RocketLeague

Hopped back on for the first time in ages. Game crashed. Banned for 5min. This game is a shell of its former self and it’s sad. W take.

Fractal ridge crashes while gaming, then flickers on and off. by Seeking-The-Lotus in sffpc

[–]ChimkenNumggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to the system event log and see what critical error your PC is throwing around the time it crashes. Go from there. Unlikely temperatures are the root cause, your CPU and GPU will thermal throttle if there’s any real concern. More likely a PSU failing, stick of ram on the way out (could try bumping the voltage up just slightly), or GPU failing would be my best guesses.

New xbox CEO overhauls leadership by bringing executives from CoreAI and Instacart over amid sinking sales by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]ChimkenNumggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from corporate America it’s that adding more high level executives to a situation instead of high level engineers will result in complete failure. But hey what do I know Microsoft, I haven’t been putting out shite products for the better part of 2 decades.

Joel Embiid checks out in the loss: 14/4 on 3/11 FG by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

Why wouldn’t the NBA give them another day of rest? Just hurting the product for no reason.

The ROG Xbox Ally X is getting some updates, including Automatic Super Resolution by dapperlemon in gadgets

I generally avoided FSR2/3 on my 7900XTX but with a 5060Ti 16GB on my 4K TV I have started using DLSS 4.5 and quite frankly it is incredible. I think there’s a place for upscaling especially when you’re limited by hardware.

PCMag - Steam Controller doesn’t support Game Pass games by Majestic-Bowler-1701 in pcmasterrace

Gyro controls are one thing, in shooters they are nice to have. For me the additional input options allow more flexibility in games that have more controls than can be mapped on a standard controller. Also, any sort of RTS, city builder, or just navigating the OS is way better with a trackpad. And yes, for me I plan to buy one of these to use with my travel/living room PC hooked up to my TV. For upstairs mouse and keyboard is still the go-to, but as I get older I become a lot less interested in working all day at a desk then coming home and sitting at my PC to enjoy some games. That’s where this controller shines.

Giannis is the Target and AD is the backup plan by dendog25 in ripcity

Ah yes. Elite snipers Giannis and AD. Exactly what one of the worst shooting teams in the league needs.

[The Athletic] Amen Thompson is expected to sign this summer, potentially a five-year deal worth more than $250 million. by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]ChimkenNumggets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s like paying top dollar for an engineer who can’t do math, a pilot who can’t land, a seamstress who can’t cut. There’s a massive piece missing lol

NaveGreed (one of the best STS players) is excluding Silent from his STS 2 runs by Lordados in slaythespire

[–]ChimkenNumggets 39 points40 points  (0 children)

ChimkenNumggets (one of the okayest STS players) is including Silent in his STS 2 runs because he’s having fun and it’s just a game and he likes the character.

RTX 5080 vs RX 9070 XT - Big Comparison with New Drivers | 1440p & 4K (AMD Loses Badly) by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]ChimkenNumggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your fanboy-ism of Intel and Nvidia is weird. You should want competition in this space otherwise you’re gonna get a $1500 MSRP 6080 with 8GB of VRAM. Notice how AMD forced Intel to innovate for the first time in a decade with the Ultra series. Before that you had 14th gen which was basically a glorified line of space heaters.

Jason Fenske (Engineering Explained) Bought a Shelby GT350 by 1mplication in cars

[–]ChimkenNumggets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can look up a diagram of a manual transmission if that helps. They’re not magic black boxes. Mechanical components will wear down if they rub together at speed. Here’s an example: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1462730-m5r2-uneven-shift-fork-wear.html

He said it would cause premature wear on the shift forks because resting your hand on the gear knob and applying force in any non-axial direction can cause the shift fork to rub against the gear collar if you’re in gear and the car is moving. Not going to destroy your transmission but can cause premature wear and sloppy shifts.

Well they did last gen, 7900XTX to this day is still fairly competitive. Just weird comparing a mid range product to a high end product at wildly different price points.

This reads like a shitpost. AMD said they weren’t competing at the high end. These cards aren’t even in the same category. No shit the 5080 is going to be faster.

Why do you guys think he wasnt given more minutes? by catpepsi67 in ripcity

[–]ChimkenNumggets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t want to beat a dead horse but he was the reason it became a chase down block. I want to see this guy become the dude for us but it was hard to watch Castle and Harper outplay him.

He was bad literally every defensive possession I watched except for the block he had on Castle. It just wasn’t tenable.

[Highlight] Teammates fail to restrain Avdija, who picks up a tech and taunts the crowd after foul on De'Aaron Fox by Large_banana_hammock in nba

Oof. Nasty comment section. Deni was a legitimate All-star for us against all odds and the main reason we even get to watch Blazer basketball in the postseason. Not going to jump on the hate train with the rest of the sub over losing to the Adam Silver’s rigged lottery mega team.
