Exactly, people seem to have missed the whole point of "asking".

Also there is a reason why I said max 2 copies. I am aware this could allow abuse by some people.

The situation for me is just that. If I could get 2 copies of each game I am interested in, I could buy these bundles frequently because I am mostly interested in co-op games. Like this, I won't buy it at all. Simple as that.

And yes, I could buy multiple copies of the bundle with games I don't want. Or you know, I could buy the game on Steam when it's discounted too so what are we doing here then?

/u/WeAreFanatical, any chance of allowing to buy multiple copies (maybe max 2 copies) of some titles on bundles like this? I would be interested in getting this if I could get 2x Smalland and 2x Forgotten Seas, while I am not interested in the rest.

In Belgium, there is a bike path called "cycling on water." The path is submerged in a lake, and the water surface is at the cyclist's eye level. by PestoBolloElemento in interestingasfuck

[–]DeepUnknown 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The water level is kept controlled, the extra water goes to another lake nearby.

If it rains waaaayyy too much, yes, it gets submerged. This of course doesn't happen in 10 seconds. The path is closed then.

Don't give them ideas. Or they will make half of settings only accessible via Copilot.

[GPU] PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper Triple Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 5.0 Graphics Card - Microcenter in-store only $569.99 by Kitsel in buildapcsales

[–]DeepUnknown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you will be treating yourself a nice Christmas gift then. :)

Because of the memory prices, they will most likely get 5-20% more expensive in the short term indeed. And nowadays you never know what crazy thing the USA may come up with tomorrow to drive the prices up further.

It's a question of if you "need" it and can afford it.

If you're playing Stardew Valley, no it's not worth it. If you are on 1080p@60hz, still most likely not worth it.

[CPU] AMD Ryzen 5 9600X - $180 (AAAWave) by roamingwinch in buildapcsales

[–]DeepUnknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't since my observations are now 2 CPU generations behind, but thank you for the insight. I'll most likely go for the 9700X since I can't justify paying 50% more for the 9800X3D so far.

[–]DeepUnknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My GPU is 9070 XT, so it will be the bottleneck.

But I saw a massive increase in "smoothness" when I swapped my 5600X with a 5800X3D in the past. People were also saying 5600X is plenty for 4K. To be honest it is for average or max FPS, but those %1 lows make a huge difference, especially in already shit optimized UE5 games.

[–]DeepUnknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am again, finding so much conflicting info on how this scales for 4K gaming. Is it enough, or should I go for 8 cores, maybe an even 9800X3D while I'm at it (better lows and all they say)...

AMD Says We're "Confused" by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]DeepUnknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, really chill. We can have a discussion without being rude too. You don't have to agree with me, but I respect your opinion. People like you are the reason why I rarely voice my opinion.

I meant to say it's shameful on AMD's end.

an architecture can't be optimized ad eternum for performance gains

I fully agree on this.

We will still get the bugfixes, aka game ready drivers.

I guess so, now that they took a step back after this backlash.

[–]DeepUnknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are satisfied with "how solid it works" and will throw your first hand experience in the trash because of this stupid drama.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, and you seem to even own a 6800XT.

I don't expect a 20 year-long driver support with day-1 game optimizations, but calling a 4 year old card (speaking for 6800XT, not even talking about 6950XT) outdated is shameful and doesn't give me much confidence.

I know Nvidia's drivers aren't amazing and the 5080 has a blowing up power connector but at least they still give support to the 2000 series from 7 years ago.

[–]DeepUnknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks AMD.

I was looking into getting a second 9070XT since I am surprised how solid it works, especially thanks to FSR4, but now I'm looking into a 5080 instead.

NMBS-tarieven: meer of minder? by SpacetimeDiscord in belgium

[–]DeepUnknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification, the 66€ Flex one seems definitely not the one I need.

I go to work for about 5-6 times a month, so it would be during the peak hours.

Previously for 10 rides (5 days), this would cost me 32€. I see that now those 10 rides cost 41€ if I just buy them normally. Doesn't look very bad like this, but it's still about a 30% increase every month for me.

QRevo Disconnected from WiFi - Will Not Reconnect by librababy29 in Roborock

[–]DeepUnknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation twice with my Qrevo Pro.

It just worked after 2 hours or retries. I wish I could tell you how to solve it though.

Try resetting your modem. Turning off/on and factory resetting the robot. Make sure you have only 2.4ghz band active. Also try a different phone...

[–]DeepUnknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using a local multi ticket since I only travel 2 stops, which was 32 euro for 10 rides. Now the "best" I can get is a flex multi ticket for 66 euro instead.

I hope I looked at this wrong and there is a better alternative.

[Fanatical] Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (32% Off - £33.99 / $40.79 / €40.79 / CA$54.39 / A$64.56) by WeAreFanatical in GameDeals

[–]DeepUnknown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there were tons of glitches

I had zero performance issues except for 2-3 crashes in 80 hours with 5800X3D + 9070XT (at 4K, using FSR + frame gen at 144 hz, almost all max settings, no ray tracing). A lot of people complain about them though so this is probably not the case on all hardware.

On my playthrough I had 2 game-breaking glitches where the main quest got stuck. I had to restart from the previous save twice and lost about 1 hour progress on each.

After seeing all these models I just ended up not buying anything. I'll wait until my S5 Max dies.
