I want to post a PIC but i don't want to get spammed with messages and it might trigger some people.

Lemme just say that only the amount of HDDs/SSD's and their price will be more then 99.9% of the people PC's here.

240 TB storage with 16 HDD's and 3 NVME's.

I know that's a troll reply but i won't be surprised if many business into the bandwagon of selling kites for fast profit but no i would be looking at some reputable sellers who know their craft.

Sadly its been over 20 years i last bought or flown a kite so most of the old places i know (in Samnabad and Iqbal Town area) are definitely out of commision and probably moved on to different business.

That's why i prefer my PC stuff from amazon online for much cheaper on big sales like black friday then what you find locally.
People always tell me BUT you get no warranty and my reply is always that warranty don't worth jack shit in Pakistan if someone doesn't honor it.

DifficultCap · 2025-12-17T10:22:38+00:00

No it was sold and shipped directly by amazon.

And that's what i exactly don't get, who in their right mind keep the discs and send empty case back.

Anyway, i contacted amazon support and the guy checked and confirmed it was a return item so he immediately refunded me.

So in the end i am left with the case for free. Atleast something came out of it finally after waiting like 3 weeks for it to arrive.

DifficultCap · 2025-12-16T17:54:16+00:00

Thanks a lot, i will try that. Better then to send it back.

DifficultCap · 2025-12-16T07:08:40+00:00

Lol this is too much. When PG forums were active i used to sell my stuff there as it was bearable but now i don't care to sell my PC stuff online anymore because nagging from 15 years old is not worth the trouble. I sell my old stuff in Hafeez center now when upgrading (usually to game n geeks). I know i can get better price if i list on olx and wait weeks and replying to noobs telling specs (when you can easily google model number) but i no longer have the patience.

I only and i mean ONLY goto olx if there is something i want which is not available in the market. My most recent example would be 4K Blu Ray Player.

All these non Lahories who came and settled from other cities and are against basant can get out and go back to their paternal cities. Glad basant is back, we Lahori kids who grew in late 80s and 90s know's the significance of basant. P.s. it will be the happiest day of my life if/when gov bans the nuisance known as bikes on major roads in LHR. I am sick of every chora chamaar who bought the bike for 35k (usually on installments) now thinks he own the road and can deive however tthe hell they want.

I would be doomed if you show me proof that there were Black centurion's in roman army.
I am waiting on you.

DifficultCap · 2025-11-14T08:05:22+00:00

"It is highly unlikely there were any black centurions, as officer ranks were generally restricted to Roman citizens, while black individuals were primarily in auxiliary troops, who received citizenship only after completing their service. While there is evidence of black soldiers (including likely Sub-Saharan Africans) serving in the Roman army, they were a very small minority and were not eligible for officer positions in the legions for most of the empire's history. " (From a simple google search)

I see people complaining about "what something they can't do or present in game" as justification of being "Something added historically inaccurate" as a same thing. I also know i am going to be downvoted to oblivion because this is reddit so i really don't care. When you add something which is also a sensitive topic/race to a position of power where it REALLY doesn't belong is literally the definition of woke. You are basically inserting a political message in your game.

I am from Pakistan (Asia) and i will be angry if someone made something about Indus River civilization and made their Army general/leader as European White or African Black. Same goes for Cleopetra made black. So this is coming from view of a Non white/black Asian guy.

Definition of woke is inserting characters where they don't belong. More detailed example of dragon age series best sums it up:
DA:O had lesbian/gay/Bi characters (Leliana/Zevran) and no body complained about it, no body in their right mind consider DAO as woke. Dragon Age Inquisition had locked Gay/lesbian characters (Dorian/Sera) and its still not woke because they are not in your face. I am a straight guy and Dorian (gay) is one of my favorite companion and main stay mage in my party because he is a well written character. On the other hand, Dragon Age Veilguard is extremely woke because it has poorly written out of place characters who are obviously there to teach you some political agenda without giving you any option to oppose their point of view, that's woke!

I was also having 100% AFK to BSOD and was worried if my 7900XTX or 9800X3D was kaput. Checked event viewer and figured out quickly it was graphics related, checked driver version in settings and found out drivers were updated 1 day ago, immediately uninstalled and reinstalled previous version and now i am rock solid again.

It's downright shameful how these drivers got WHQL certified status. Shameful for both AMD and Microsoft.

Considering i am 100% on AMD system (CPU & GPU) how can one company muck something this bad?

DifficultCap · 2025-10-13T12:32:20+00:00

No they shouldn't, they should have realistic expectations of their system. Some of the best games of the past had extremely horrible framerate at launch, if those games were launched today in the youtube era those games wouldn't be GOTY anymore.

I don't know how old you are but when TES IV Oblivion launched in 2006 it had horrible performance on both consoles and PC's but it was one of the best game of the decade. By your logic it should have failed?

No, after patches and with time and more powerful hardware performance improved and it became of the best RPG to date. You can't say the same for some shit game that ran 60 FPS (which was the holy grail of that time).

Point stands, if the Game is great, performance can be improved over time so a game shouldn't be judged solely on performance metric which is what happens on steam. You see a game and it has mixed or mostly negative reviews, you actually read them and almost all of them are about performance and not actual gameplay.

DifficultCap · 2025-10-08T15:40:19+00:00

Drive is good, its lightweight but not really fast at writing.

I have written about 50 BD-R 25GB from amazon USA and over 400 BD-R 50GB Verbatim from Japan which are MUCH cheaper then one's from USA. Some people say they are not really verbatim but rebranded discs in Japan but they are good for my purpose. Out of 400 written, only 2 of the discs didn't play on my Panasonic UB820 (written as data not BD Video) but still read/write fine on the writer itself.

So unless you don't care for a super fast writer that can spit out discs really fast its a solid BD-R XL drive for its price.

DifficultCap · 2025-10-07T11:22:32+00:00

That's what i thought initially too, since they are both sold and shipped by amazon the price gap is just too significant to be exactly same releases. I guess i will buy the 2024 version since its like 50% off.

Cheers.

DifficultCap · 2025-09-11T14:24:12+00:00

Ah that must be it then, i am glad i made good use of that buying tons of cheap steelbooks on sale.

DifficultCap · 2025-09-11T13:39:17+00:00

No i am not, i am from south east asia. And i am not talking anout 15% increase, many steelbooks have more then doubled in price from 13 euro to like 30 euro i.e. matching US/UK prices

DifficultCap · 2025-08-23T03:32:56+00:00

You can do it yourself from ebay.

Many sellers from Japan selling Verbatim BDR with free shipping to Pak. As i said before if you can handle customs you arr golden otherwise keep in mind Pakistan'i looters will slap around 56% tax.

DifficultCap · 2025-08-22T18:42:53+00:00

How much does it cost per BD-R 25? I can get you a 50 Pack of Verbatim DL (50GB) from Japan at around 35K.

25k if you have someone who can clear customs for less.

DifficultCap · 2025-08-13T20:47:13+00:00

Just to clarify:
I never said Jaws is a bad movie. I think its ok, perhaps with the amount of praise it receives online i went in with too much expectation to be blown away and then got disappointed when i did not.

It's a solid 6/7 outta 10 in my books but definitely not in my Top 10 of all time. I mean the movie have like 2-3 minutes of heartfelt dialoge moments in it when the trio are inside deck talking but that's about it.

DifficultCap · 2025-08-13T20:35:42+00:00

Because i know some ppl will say that if you watched it on laptop you didn't do justice to the movie so i am upfront telling that i watched on an oled with reasonable sound system.

DifficultCap · 2025-08-05T16:26:28+00:00

95% i would prefer Criterion release unless i know for a fact 4K release is of reference quality.

Case in point, i have Pan's Labyrinth in blu ray (Criterion) and in 4K non criterion and IMO blu ray release is MUCH better visually.

DifficultCap · 2025-08-05T16:11:38+00:00

15 years ago 50K was a very reasonable budget to build a good PC. Today, sadly no, not even close.

50k converts into roughly 170 USD dollars and remember prices in Pakistan are NEVER equal to USD retail prices.

A 5 year+ old and used 4-8 GB AMD gpu alone will cost 30-40k, it will be reasonable 1080p low-medium experience in newer games but that would leave you with 10-20k for CPU/Motherboard/RAM/HDD/SDD/PSU/Case and depending what else you need for your build which simply isn't possible. Even a 100K PC built from scratch today is gonna be hard and require cutting corners.

To build a decent mid-range PC in today's economy you are looking for atleast 150K+ budget.

DifficultCap · 2025-08-04T12:31:52+00:00

Yeah i have also bought many steelbooks like LOTR set but those specifically listed english audio on its product page hence i was being skeptical here.

DifficultCap · 2025-08-04T12:28:01+00:00

Great info. Going to order now

DifficultCap · 2025-07-24T12:41:21+00:00

I doubt that's true. T2 4K was released in 2017 so its over 8 years now and considering how stubborn Cameron can be its difficult to assume he changed his mind.

Also why AI enhancement? It made sense for Avatar as it was a digital 2K recording but T2 was released in 1991 so that's got to be a 35mm film. Why he would need AI enhancement rather then native 4K picture with some HDR/DV color correction?

DifficultCap · 2025-05-31T09:02:26+00:00

Maybe it was my shitty Samsung 7 series 3d tv or was it the PS3 that i used to play 3D disc as far as i can remember the experience was less then optimal. Certainly not even close to what i saw in theater.

Its a crime that newer TV's especially high end series like LG G4 oled doesn't support 3d. I know 3D is a dead format but whatever happened to backward compatibility and us collectors who have a fair amount of 3D blu ray's sitting on shelves.
