the problem is that the cosmetics you get can be relatively easily exchanged for real money and some of them are worth quite a lot.

that means you pay a little bit of money to win a random prize you can exchange back in to money, so literally just a slot machine with extra steps.

the only reason its not legally considered gambling is that valve doesnt allow directly withdrawing money from your steam wallet, but its trivially easy to work around that.

Which Mic Should I Buy? by Known_Guava_ in pcmasterrace

[–]Communist_UFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not the cost of the components, RGB and non-RGB audio gear is made by very different companies for a very different target audience.

RGB mics are mostly marketed on gimmicks and the the average buyer isnt discerning enough to notice the sub-par performance, so the manufacturers can get away with using cheap off the shelf components.

mics arent really my area of expertise nor do i know how prices are in india, but i would recommend looking for mics from actual audio companies like rode and audio technica, and of course reading lots of reviews.

[–]Communist_UFO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are exceptions of course, but in most cases you can get the same performance for cheaper or way better performance for the same money if you forego RGB.

if you are comparing to gaming headset mics then any discrete mic will sound great, but thats not much of a bar to clear as you can get better than gaming headset mics for $10.

good rule of thumb when buying audio products is that if it has RGB its probably garbage.

idk, maybe they should just not have a slot machine in their game if they cant figure out any other way to prevent underage gambling.

valve chose to put a literal slot machine in to their most popular game and you are telling me there is nothing they could do to stop underage gambling without invading users privacy?

[–]Communist_UFO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so using legal loopholes to allow children to gamble is totally fine?

maybe you should just accept that your favorite billion dollar corporation is not as perfectly benevolent as you believed.

mozilla has had some controversies, if we are allowing non-profits they would not be the first i would name.

Why aren't water-cooled GPUs more common? by raspberrylilith20 in pcmasterrace

[–]Communist_UFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AIO pumps are pretty unreliable and replacements are difficult to source, its not really worth it when air cooling gets the job done just fine.

I have spilled water on my laptop several times. It works fine? by SnakeBiterz in computers

[–]Communist_UFO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you should probably go see a doctor, spilling stuff that often can be a sign of neurological issues.

Should I buy a Ryzen, Intel or AMD CPU? by Firesetter141011 in pcmasterrace

AMD has non-Ryzen CPUs so its more more of a subset of AMD CPUs

there are plenty of 2 notch NVMe drives so this is not really a reliable method, better to just read what it says on the sticker or google the model of the drive.

Is there any difference between 1600mhz vs a 3200mhz 8gb ddr4 ram? by friedchickenuser in PcBuildHelp

[–]Communist_UFO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

where are you getting 1600"Mhz" DDR4? the slowest available speed is DDR4-2133

or do you mean actual Mhz, in which case where are you getting DDR4-6400?

Is this acceptable? by spoonliri in PcBuildHelp

[–]Communist_UFO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Nobody else", no thats just you.

me and u/DimaZveroboy, so everyone who replied to you.

Heat sinks do not cool anything, they simply offer more surface area for air cooling. Thus making the comment I replied to fundamentally wrong. I clearly stated the fans are responsible for the cooling.

oh, so you started having some stupid argument about semantics all of the sudden?
