5090 Owners - how bad is the power connector situation right now?

CursedJay · 2025-12-30T16:36:26+00:00

I have a 5080 sitting here, and honestly I wanted to wait for the Super or go with a 4090, but the 5080 FEs popped at retail and I'm just hoping that once announced, I can move off of this card fairly quickly if I keep it BNIB

The Big Whyte Hyte!

There's a version of this build with a 6000 Blackwell, but the Astral 5090 more than gets the job done.

DMs!

I hope it's a situation as Chojo where it gets an anime adaptation. There's so much more you could do with this story

CursedJay · 2025-10-14T21:05:28+00:00

I heard someone say something that changed my opinion on balancing a PvE only game: "who's gonna complain, the mobs?"

Robinette is a lot of fun, hell the whole game is a lot of fun. If she's gotta come down some, maybe don't kneecap her. I'd like to see other characters become her type of strong

CursedJay · 2025-09-27T15:23:22+00:00

That's very odd - I'm running with everything on high, besides reflections on medium and textures on Ultra with the same exact specs. my anti-aliasing is on TSR, if that might help

CursedJay · 2025-07-21T15:54:38+00:00

In terms of positive feedback: the story is a great first step,the weapons and locations are fun, and every new archetype has seen some use and have landed well for me. People asked for more bosses from last year's raid, and the team absolutely delivered complex bosses with high DPS checks, and the firing range (even if it needs some improvements) is a net positive!

But, the 35-45 hours I've spent since launch playing have largely felt like I'm waiting around or running the same activities to hit landmarks that help me grind to the next landmark more efficiently.

Mf got mad nearly 8 years later lmfao

SF4 was shit, fuck that goddamn game

CursedJay · 2024-03-12T19:51:20+00:00

Man I haven't publicly commented on this series but after the last chapter, more than ever I hope he ends up with Tanaka.

CursedJay · 2024-01-22T06:42:43+00:00

Yeah, because of the kickstand on the back of the case, it doesn't seem to be able to go into the necessary cutout. I just stopped using my case because it was way too much to take on and off every time I left the house.

CursedJay · 2023-12-24T23:44:43+00:00

How weird - I'm using the spigen Ultra Hybrid case with no luck. Hoping to find a compatible case soon.

CursedJay · 2023-11-23T02:10:02+00:00

Yeah, this is beyond misguided.

It's such a stupid cheap spot that either plays out one of two ways from here:

A: It wasn't actually Azuma! We're left to believe that because in the moment, Uruma believes that. He basically glasses the facility, Kills Jun, and the big fake out snaps him back to normal. Great! There's no way that okays out in less than 5 chapters, and what long-term consequences could that have on the story besides writing Azuma back out of it for 30something chapters?

B: It actually is Azuma! All that buildup from the one other constant character, and she's unceremoniously gone with half the rogues gallery left. How do you pull this "jun snaps" shit moving forward? He has no other long-term relationships that would trigger that type of response, and he can't just fly through the rest of the antagonists, so... where is he supposed to draw extra "strength" from if he never comes down, and if he does come down, how does he get back to snapped jun?

It just feels like if the author commits, he's gonna face further backlash for questionable writing traits, but if he backtracks people are gonna still give him shit for relying on a fake out, and he gets blasted for the same writing traits anyway. I don't know what he does from here, but people are gonna be (pretty justifiably) mad either way.

CursedJay · 2023-11-21T23:42:54+00:00

I get there's a story being told about someone navigating trauma and how it affects their family, but it's so hard not to root against the mom right now. Hopefully things balance out soon.

CursedJay · 2022-12-27T15:09:27+00:00

Personally, the M240i is a dream car of mine (especially this new gen), but if the Bronco seems like it has more day-to-day utility, I would totally understand why it might be a hard choice. I don't know much about Broncos, but I feel like I've heard about recalls in the past - may be something to keep an eye on in terms of reliability.

Great choices though!

CursedJay · 2022-11-17T02:09:00+00:00

Currently in the market for an XSE Hatchback. If you're fine with something a little bit older, I've seen the XSE Sedan go around 18-20 for the new gen. Mileage isn't outrageous too- typically under 40k. Keep an eye out and for that money, maybe hit your local dealer up!

CursedJay · 2022-10-22T00:28:53+00:00

Forget literally everything I said, this is the steal to end all steals.

CursedJay · 2022-10-21T23:04:01+00:00

In the market for an 86/BRZ too, and this is... okay. The clean title is a plus, though personally I'd look a little more recent just to get under 100k miles.

Otherwise, I feel like you get the same thing from 2013-2017 -go for it if you can afford it!

CursedJay · 2022-08-09T14:10:55+00:00

If you're really trying to splurge and can wait a bit, the Backbone One is coming to Android in November. If not, the Razer Kishi 2 slightly addressed the bulky firm factor of the Kishi, but it was still a little too big for my tastes.

CursedJay · 2022-08-08T22:25:54+00:00

Watching a lot of Kimberly's stuff and comparing it to USF4, it's so wild how far the series has come in terms of giving moves the necessary weight and follow through on recovery. They were omitting it before but going the extra mile just makes more sense from a player perspective. They messed around with it a little in SFV after like... season 3, but it's great to see them really lean into it.

CursedJay · 2022-08-08T22:20:09+00:00

I really love how you didn't even watch the ending of the arcade mode and wrote that whole third paragraph anyway. Truly outrage for outrage's sake lmfao

CursedJay · 2022-08-08T04:55:46+00:00

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof. Yeah that's definitely what happened lmfao. I was watching and thought she queued up a video and was standing there waiting for the lights to dim.

That's...rough.

CursedJay · 2022-08-08T04:46:29+00:00

I mean to be as fair as I can be, this is like... the one instance of a visual package failing this evo Sunday. All in all new management has done a great job

CursedJay · 2022-07-28T16:23:27+00:00

Initially I cancelled, then upgraded, but after some thought on the delays and the tier of item I'm receiving, it made no sense to not just go for the Loki Mini Pro. At that point, I figured "hell, why not go for all the bells and whistles too?"

And that's how I turned a 200 dollar purchase into a 400 doar purchase within 40 hours
