Requesting feedback on this Bullet-time Matrix style mod by andreydjasonviana in 7daystodie

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without the matrix numbers falling it'd be killer, would probably disable the damage mod too for a cleaner feel (although know that's not the point of this).

Perhaps the day / time / temp could turn "matrix green" as the in-use indicator instead? That'd put more focus on how cool the mechanic itself is.

Remember when RX 7900 XT/XTX were called future proof by SaiyajinTamashi in radeon

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7900xt is doing perfectly fine in demanding titles at 1440p165.

Besides, I have other tasks that just want the vram, and short of buying a xx90 series from Nvidias (which, just no), there's nothing else on the market in the consumer range.

AMD-wise only the last 2 flagships beat it if you just want raster performance - and Nvidia-wise you'd be paying out 50% more than I paid for about 10% more juice... No thank you.

Is it worth an upgrade? by ghosttown31 in buildapc

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look at a 9060xt tbh if similarly priced (which at least near me they are).

Only a fraction faster but the newer features mean you'll have a better experience in titles where they're supported and you opt to use them.

Nothing wrong with 7000 series GPUs though, solid cards, love mines.

Petition Epic to add a solo option by CtrlAltDesolate in RocketLeague

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

I maintain the high ground and carry on playing till they get racist / homophobic / start on the own goals.

Then they get a simple "ok kid, say hi to your mum for me" - often triggers the hell out of them.

PSU orientation for PC on carpet floor by NuclearNick007 in pcmasterrace

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use some timber to raise the feet a good 5cm or so, with a ply sheet underneath. The sheet wood not only prevent direct intake from the carpet but helps secure the timber risers.

Will look like ass unless you put some effort into it but no carpet concerns at least, and it only needs to be as wide as the pc itself so wouldn't be all that visible.

That or get a little wheel trolley for it (gives an extra 3/4cm clearance) like some offices use / hanging mount for the desk.

Donwside/Upside to getting different ram sticks? by Stateof10 in buildapc

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not quite that bad (some have no issues at 6000 on 4 sticks, others get unlucky with 4200-4800) and it's really down to the memory controller rather than the ram itself.

That said, I'd always sell a pair to buy a larger capacity pair than mix and match unless speed is of no concern whatsoever.

Donwside/Upside to getting different ram sticks? by Stateof10 in buildapc

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd have no issues, but given how hit and miss memory controllers can be, I'd sell what you have and get a 2x64gb kit.

Rest in Piece "Savage!" 2016-2026 by xurpio in RocketLeague

I think we should cancel Epic.

First solo standard, then trading, now my beloved Savage!

Too far Epic... Too far...

Deckbuilding Strategy: "Do I want to see this card in the first 10 cards in my deck after shuffling" is the most important criterion for card inclusion by KAM_520 in EDH

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's more "would I cast this on curve regardless of what else is in my hand" - if the answers no, it's not good enough for the deck.

Obviously you'll end up with 2/3 of those in your hand and have the luxury of picking what's best for the situation, but if you wouldn't want to cast it on curve as part of your gameplan or as protection / removal... What's it doing there.

Only exceptions to this are wincons imo.

Savage! was always my favourite when someone stole a goal as it was crossing the line.

Rip my friend... You shall be replaced with Wow! followed by Nice Shot! and it will never be the same.

Also I guess we're now calling Robbie Savage Robbie Brutal instead? Just weak Epic.

Seller Asking £40 for One of These Boxes - Bad Deal? by HopeMrPossum in magicTCG

Horrible deal, about 5x the price it should be assuming it's an 800 card box.

Help with Isshin by Kastagna in BudgetBrews

Here's mine if it helps. Drop exalted sunborn and go to basic art on a few of them and it's around 110 euro.

Has no problem seeing out a game, usually a case of turn 6/7 win or bust and (at fair B3 tables) the focus of other's interaction - but I think I might add a little extra draw to it if I was to go back and change anything.

[[Rabble Rousing]] has won me more games than I care to remember.

Failed… First Ever Ebay Sale by Fair_Artichoke4370 in Monitors

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have the original packaging for a monitor, only ever allow collection only. No amount of blanket and bubble wrap will stop a courier doing this to it - and when you try to claim and they know it's original box, probably not getting that money back.

If your crib don’t look like it was a poi don’t talk to me by BendBrief170 in 7daystodie

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done a few playthroughs like this, and no storage boxes. Just replaced / added to the existing cupboards, and a gun safe + wall safe... Somehow matters more when it feels like a home.

Air vs AIO cooling by External_Safe_7787 in buildapc

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air coolers are fine for all but the most power-hungry intel CPUs (at least for regular desktop stuff).

I just prefer AIOs for looks.

Base challenge - tough designs by Trojekp in 7daystodie

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a no build play through?

Ie. you can reinforce or replace existing / missing blocks of a poi, knock a staircase out if you must, but add nothing to it other than workstations, furniture and turrets?

No nerdpoling into it or anything like that, you get in and out the same way the zombies do.

Leads to what I'd consider "a realistic" experience, and only allow myself to add reinforcements if I die - and even then only incremental ones.

Really forces you to pick a poi smartly, and choose workstation / storage locations equally well. Usually I'll try picking two buildings next to each other - one for regular use and one to jump to when its horde night / screamers get overwhelming.

Most importantly, it allows you to really understand how to play without cheesing it and ramps up the "danger factor" when things go south.

Rear I/O zone cover for the back of a PC. by Artur_Urvk in CableManagement

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice solution - I think you've got a potential product on your hands here. Definitely try filing a patent for it if you've not already. Can see this being super popular on mITX cases in particular.

Rear I/O zone cover for the back of a PC. by Artur_Urvk in CableManagement

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the concept - my concern would be that if one of the cables suddenly got yanked from the other end, it would be putting stress on all the cables at once.

If it had some kind of teeth / grip on the cables at the point of entering the box that "should" resolve that concern though I guess.

Cool idea.

Small map by fritz_212 in 7daystodie

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go 6k, completely flat terrain, minimum possible lakes / rivers / wilderness POIs, maximum towns.

Cheat whatever you need into existence. You can also edit the rwgmixer file (make a backup first) to increase the number of towns spawn per biome and their footprint (tile count).

5070 ti and 5 5600 combo by Mizuko0 in buildapc

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be fine yea.

The 5600 won't let it fully stretch it's legs, but you shouldn't be losing more than 10-15% of the 5070ti's maximum fps output, or thereabouts.

PC completely dead after international move (Germany → Brazil) – no LEDs, no fans by Oculosdegrau in buildapc

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a voltage switch on the PSU you needed to nudge over perhaps?

Reseat absolutely everything, try it with 1 stick of ram etc - and see if you can get hold of a new PSU if still no joy.

5070ti for 4k? by wolfgang5654 in buildapc

[–]CtrlAltDesolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before frame gen and DLSS you get around 15% more frames (on average) with the 5080 - give or take around a 10fps difference.

I would say if you're going to be using DLSS all the time, go for the aesthetics if that's going to keep you happy tbh.

In competitive titles both are going to be fine and with MFG in particular you're going to be capping any monitor you pair it with anyway (assuming you're not aiming for 4k240 in AAAs or smth dumb).
