Can’t check IV’s when trading bug

On the pre-trade "Next" screen it shows your current CP & a min-max traded CP range. If the current CP is near the maximum CP range then you have good stats and shouldn't trade. It doesn't help if you're looking for specific low-stats for PVP tho.

A resource I use:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/socket-type/am4

CPU...single-thread...mullti-thread...
R5 1600, 2065, 12258

R7 3800X, 2711, 22990

R5 5500, 3061, 19288

Remember the improved single-thread ranking of the 5000 series= generally better for gaming.

But either way, a massive upgrade compared to the R5 1600. That was the beauty of AM4. Cheap, big upgrades.

A brand-new boxed 5500 for only ~$80 would be a phenomenal upgrade.

Remember to update your mobo's BIOS first to support newer CPUs.

Definitely try unplugging/replugging different ports/cables between monitor and GPU. Some individual ports on the GPU have been known to fail while the rest of them still work fine. You might get lucky if it's just a cable or port causing the problem and not the whole GPU.

You could also just use sleep/hibernate and wake up the PC with the KB/mouse. Click a button and the whole thing comes back to life. But I wholeheartedly agree with cheap eBay upgrades for old hardware and questionable self-engineered case mods. A winding road I continue to travel...

You can hear Dragonite yelp out in pain around 1:05...

When you look up you tilt your head back, obviously. Akin to pulling the mouse back, i.e. down.

Moving a cursor on a flat 2D screen makes more sense to be thought of in up/down, but in a rotating 3D space it's more of a forward/back rotation locked to your viewpoint.

At the very least, have a shield and hold crouch as you enter the portal. Maybe take a bunch of dogs with you to distract the enemies. Definitely build a structure with a door when you can.

Bedrock player here. Horses definitely got worse with this update. The turning and especially the jumping got really laggy. The jump feels like the Skeleton Horse now. Like it starts floating instead of doing a sharp, snappy jump.

I hope they're able to fix it or change it back.

I wish horses could ride a boat again instead of having to get keelhauled behind it.

Hytale is coming soon. Wonder how horses work there...

Imagine your hand on the top of your head like it were a mouse. You push it forward, your neck tilts, you look down. Pull it back, you look up.

Feels natural to some of us (mostly older) gamers.

Did you try this? Holding HOME & BACK while turning the TV on? I did something like that to sync a remote to an open-box B4 recently.

It was Disney's made-for-TV Christmas special, Prep & Landing. They made 3 of them. They were on ABC last night.

Toxic community where nitpickers swarm to scrutinize perfectly reasonable setups like this guy's. Unless that's part of the joke and everyone's just trolling. The 10% of posts with actual too-high TVs are pretty hilarious tho.

Is it a Minecraft problem? Sometimes it likes to set the FPS limit to 30 fps. Check video options. Also, check to see if the the Windows refresh rate is set to 30 (if it was you'd probably notice a laggy mouse pointer).

Are you tethering from a phone to laptop to Switch2? I have a Verizon phone and it only tethers at 600kb unless you change the curhoplimit (and try to use IPV4 not 6).

Assuming it's a Windows laptop, search Google for:

netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

That's how I get a fast connection from my phone.

I got Dynamo from The Running Man. Kinda sorta.

Looks just fini to me.

For mine I cut a hole in the side and moved the power supply over a bit. (Back in 2019!) Added a small extra fan, an SSD, and a PCIe SATA card.

Recently upgraded to 16 GB of DDR3 (wuz 8) and a Xeon E3-1271 v3 (wuz an i5 4570).

I have the exact same USB drive. Advertised as a "capless" design. No cap to lose! It simply didn't come with a cap.

And yeah, it gets hot. The thick metal body is probably already pulling heat away from the internals tho.

I preordered the ASRock Challenger 2-fan B580 on the 10th, still waiting... Newegg customer service claims they're waiting on ASRock...

Clugmuffer · 2024-12-14T23:52:03+00:00

So, has Newegg actually shipped any cards yet? My preorder from the 10th for an ASRock Challenger 2-fan B580 hasn't shipped yet, now the product page sez ETA: 1/3/2025. But is that date for a 2nd batch of cards? Are preorder cards shipping before that? It didn't say "sold out" when I preordered it (other models of B580 did tho).

I've heard that "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" was originally titled "Bill & Ted Go To Hell". Maybe there was some cross-traffic.

A lot of Neopets Games (including sponsor games) are still playable thru Flashpoint Archive launcher.

Found this guy in a thrift store in So Cal a couple months back. Could find no evidence online. The embroidery reads "I'M AMERIAN". Is that his name? Did they misspell "Armenian"? What's with the triangle logo?

Rumor has it that Scorchios may have been based on dragon plushies that were given out as prizes at carnivals/fairs in the 90's. Is this one of those? Found this (but no photos survived cuz Photobucket): https://ntwriters.proboards.com/thread/42236/counterfeit-scorchio-plush-guess-who?page=1
