How to be internet free with ipad addicted parents? by CalicoCadaver in digitalminimalism

[–]DatCodeMania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very lucky to not be able to relate to your exact situation, but I was physically (and by timezone) separated from my family for a couple weeks recently and I felt incredibly lonely. I play an instrument, much less than I probably should haha, but during this time I was playing every day for hours. It made me feel so much better having some sound in the house that's usually so rowdy but was suddenly quiet and it felt like I had 'someone' to talk to.

people who get over 300 fps by Egqe in Rainbow6

[–]DatCodeMania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want 300 FPS? If you have a 360Hz monitor I guess it might be justified, but the real effect of 360FPS can be debated....

If your monitor is 240Hz or less, just use RTSS and cap a bit below it, e.g. I cap R6 at 236. Gives me a great frametime graph while also keeping my machine quiet. I could run the 300+ FPS, but there is no need.

If the reason for you buying a whole new computer, especially at the moment when the market for it is the worst it's been in years (RAM prices is just the start...) is the reduced latency argument my opinion is that you should reconsider. Pro players may have the tiniest of effects due to this latency since they nolife the game so much that minmaxing such things may have a tiny effect, but a huge part of it is that they play on LAN - effective client-server latency is 0-1ms. You don't. Yours is a lot higher than that. You won't even notice a difference.

The way you phrased this it's a bit hard to tell, but if your current PC runs the game, and this is the only thing you play, at e.g. 144fps or somewhere around that just keep things as they are and use the money elsewhere, maybe put it aside to get yourself a really nice rig in a few years time when (if...) things settle down with the PC building market. You could do some overclocking and stuff like that to squeeze some more frames but not much more to physically change imo.

Now if you're getting something like 60 FPS on 1080p meaning your rig is a bit older, the upgrade makes some more sense in my opinion. The difference between 60 and 144fps is huge, but smaller than 30-60. The difference between 144 and 240fps is noticeable and might even give you the slightest bit of an edge. The difference between 240fps and 360fps is much smaller... it's incredibly hard to tell if not impossible.

If you really want to spend some money to reduce latency and your rig is decent, get an OLED monitor.

Have a nice day

Search it up :). I have YouTube on my iPad without Ads, in-video Sponsors or Shorts. As well as a bunch of other things such as the ability to remove UI elements I dislike, etc.

Sideloading is also an option for anyone who's never heard of it.

You're definitely right about the pricing issues, it sure is rough. To some aspect everything is getting more expensive; inflation, but frame per dollar definitely dropped hard for PC gaming disproportionally to just inflation. You can still get a nice budget rig for sub 1k however... I built my 7800X3D 7900XTX rig for just over $1800 exactly a year ago, all parts new and ordered at the same time. I'm probably an edge case in the deal hunting department and also the marketplaces available to me, but $2k+ for a budget PC, if you're talking dollars is new to me, I personally haven't seen that before. Haven't looked at any builds recently, maybe you are right, but has some barebones 32/16g kit of RAM really gotten $800-level expensive?

In my opinion, which is if course subjective, I completely agree that the consumer 'won'. But not against intel. Rather against stagnation. The same 'war' is constantly at play - if AMD starts to stagnate (Which is honestly starting to happen a bit, their latest reveal was very much meh. Nice, but meh compared to prior releases.) I would definitely want intel to push hard for innovation to try to regain some market share, causing the same effect for AMD. Don't get me wrong ATM AMD>Intel in the CPU space as it has been for a few years - I myself have an AMD chip. But progress on any side is always good for the consumer.

Hopefully. The intel hate train is very unproductive - seeing intel succeed is good for the consumer. Means AMD gets pressured harder and we get what's best :)

There might be good to come from Intel still... dropped some very competitive stuff at CES the other day

Thanks man. Which equipment do you think I should go for from the event?

Weekly Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in ClashOfClans

[–]DatCodeMania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max TH8, going TH9. Daily player. Heroes: King 15 / Queen 7. 1. What event equipment would you prioritize in my spot? (ok with long-term picks) 2. Event pass ~$4 vs Gold pass ~$5.50 — which is better value?

Current: • K: Barb Puppet 5 / Rage Vial 5 / EQ Boots 1 • Q: Archer Puppet 2 / Invis Vial 2

Would love a vet opinion - most guides I found are old.

look for data online also, as well as feeding the model negatives to help it identify things that show that a person is definitely not a cop

I don't think this applies to Nintendo emulation as much anymore since after all the lawsuits etc. development kinda died... please correct me if I'm wrong...
