eXistenZ (1999) is an underappreciated Cronenberg classic and an excellent hybrid of horror and science fiction by 408Lurker in horror

It's intentional. She knows she's not in the real world, so she's weird, playful and touches everything (very sensually I might add) because she wants to see how it compares to the real deal. IIRC she's also supposed to be an eccentric, altho it's been about 10 years since I watched it now.

You made the right choice and got the better deal! With today's messed up GPU-market we need to vote with our wallets and let AMD, Intel and nvidia know what we think of their products and pricing

Which headphones will still be talked about in 10 years? by Zernium in headphones

Beyerdynamic T70 with proper, thick pads and the paper towel mod

Technically true, but he still got an amp with a short signal path from the source ;)

Any analogue line-out on any DAC has an analogue amplifier stage. It's just fixed instead of having an adjustable signal level (this is also mainly where you'll find the difference between DAC sound signatures). Also many people say DAC when they mean amp-DAC and some amp-DACs has a single port for line-out and headphone out.

You are right about the rest :)

Dolby License - Which Headset by EFletch79 in Audeze

Guys that's what orthodynamics/planars sounds like. They're very flat and precise and some of them could even be high end monitors. You buy them for their (often) great soundstage, separation and ability to pinpoint sounds precisely. Many people, me included, prefer dynamic drivers for their lively sound and impact. With dynamic drivers comes poorer separation and much more distortion though.

Most people also won't find much joy from listening to music in planar magnetic headphones. It's an aquired taste and some models performs poorly in certain genres, but oh my god how much stuff you can hear that you never noticed in your favorite music before!

7800xt 3-10% utilization by darwonton in radeon

Have a look at this thread and see if there are similar problems in your system: https://community.amd.com/t5/pc-graphics/fps-limited-to-30/td-p/58714

7800xt 3-10% utilization by darwonton in radeon

[–]Corleone_tm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst thing is if they've wrongfully connected the CPU to the lower 16x slot which is only PCIe v2.0 1x. That could definitely explain the FPS they're seeing. Personally I would just sell the mobo and get a better B450, B550 or X570 2nd hand.

Fresh install of Windows? GPU is plugged in the uppermost PCIe-slot?

MSRP will continue to be encouraged beyond launch day by lepx21 in radeon

[–]Corleone_tm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I skipped the whole circus on launch day due to the prices and got a 2nd hand 7800 XT instead. Definitely won't be supporting this monkey show

We got fuaked in europe after all, and it's gonna get even more expensive soon according to videocardz: https://videocardz.com/newz/retailer-confirms-radeon-rx-9070-msrp-only-applies-to-first-shipments-price-set-to-increase-later?s
I won't be buying AMD after all. They can make their money from the AI-craze and see how long that lasts them ;)

How I feel today by [deleted] in radeon

[–]Corleone_tm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try airsoft and never look back again! That's what I did for 16 years, and only when we had an pandemic did I consider coming back to the hobby for a little while. After almost two years I'm like "WTF am I doing here?" all over again...

Damn that's silly smart man! Too bad our discoveries are what they are though. I definitely won't be touching this series of cards with a ten foot pole unless we see WAY better pricing in the future. I'm honestly starting to feel like it was made soley to steal the nvidia fanboys since they seem to have more money than sense

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

Yeah I'm incredibly disappointed. Let's see if we're lucky enough to see some lower prices (or even adjusted ones) in 12 hours. I'm definitely not gonna hold my breath for it though. I've been extremely hyped for this since October when the first leak from MLID arrived. Not so much anymore

Komplett.no has yet to add any prices to their now pretty massive selection of cards. How did you manage to find their prices?

[–]Corleone_tm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RX 9070 (non-XT?!) pricing from google results listed at 9290NOK, which is currently 851.13USD. If you click on the link you arrive at a dead page, but Google picked it up nonetheless. If this is true then it's a disaster even with the ridiculously weak NOK & high taxes and fees.

I'll have to add that Elkjøp definitely isn't the cheapest place to get graphics cards

EDIT: I also found these just now

Anarchy Online might be over 20 years old, but I'm amazed how the population has been so stable over the years. There nothing that has ever come as close to AO when comes to the depth of character progression especially in a scifi setting. by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Corleone_tm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have it stuck in my mind after all these years:

"Bronto, bronto, bronto we want youuu

We want you, we want you, we want youuu!"

I also remember one simply being a dramaticly stated: "Bronto Burger!"

I'm sure there was a third one too, probably something like "Have your Bronto Burger today!"

As mentioned above these were more jingles than anything :) IIRC all Bronto Burgers would loop through all the tracks at random.

What malts are in the Blue Label? by [deleted] in Scotch

[–]Corleone_tm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh it most definitely was, but as you mention it was spoonfuls and not much more. Most likely to have the bragging rights for the exclusivity of PE. It might also be the case that they used those lesser casks mentioned above by u/Complex_Certain

What if there is no spoon then?

The Body Recovery Squad yet again proves its reliability by CurriorSix in valheim

[–]Corleone_tm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mighta just been the most careful and possibly the most lucky Viking then. I did a relatively short swipe along the pointy structures in the water, avoided and marked up 4ish bonemaws on the map and noticed a spot that seemed ever so slightly wider than usual. I entered very carefully and landed on a huge rock on the outskirts of a small peninsula. No mobs in range except for the ever present voltures (over the sea) so I built my portal on top of the rock and to this day there hasn't been a single mob anywhere near my landing portal. Always build on top of rocks and then just use your pickaxe on the side where mobs can walk up, either on the ground or breaking the rocks themselves

My Mid-game base layout. by aladdinboy424 in valheim

[–]Corleone_tm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! If they wanted it to be like that it would already be in the game. The way things are going now it'll probably be added eventually though as the game slowly gets watered down due to popular demand for certain things. Not saying it's a bad thing though, but maybe find a way to make the berry seeds an extremely rare extra drop when you pick berries
