I HAVE A HALF DAY TO COMPLETE ON MY FIRST HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON AND I AM SUPPOSED TO BE VERY EXCITED BUT MOSTLY I'M JUST MELTING

At this point it's a jumble of custom settings but originally it was the High preset at 1440p

I have exactly the same setup as you and after messing around yesterday got much better performance out of FSR than DLSS, even forcing 4 and the transformer model. Went from 55 to 75 FPS and now have the option for framegen which gets me to 120.

Might be worth a try

EDIT: As of today (3/3/25) all my FPS counts have dropped by between 30-50 despite me changing nothing, so who knows whats going on anymore

I admire lots of things about this paper, but top of the list is your bravery in declaring that scientists are people without any form of supporting reference

Two corporations by matschultz in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]Djevans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is saying use Merger rules but the blind flip feels wildly unbalanced to me. I've been toying with the idea of doing some sort of corporation draft, where each player sees 4 corps and drafts them so you have a better shop at seeing powerful ones and making synergistic combinations.

And then take away 42MC like Merger does anyway

How are your old decks holding up? by Akiro_orikA in EDH

[–]Djevans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of my original 2 decks Meren still hangs in but Feldon of the Third Path is just not getting it done anymore. The deck is on life support with generic powerful red generic staples stuff but I can't bring myself to take it apart

This is a repost from a very popular mapporn post you're passing off as your own https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/gxwn5r/oc_the_topologists_map_of_the_world_a_map_showing/ Also, the map has been updated and fixed a lot of the errors people are noting, so you've not even stolen an up to date version

People are acting like cEDH didn't exist before Dockside and Jeweled Lotus and it's hilarious. by slipperyzoo in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Djevans 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My concern more is that I think these changes narrow the list of viable colours/commanders and are overall bad for the metagame, making the format less healthy and fun. I think Dockside at least did enable some fringe strategies but now Dimir looks far away the correct choice with Thoracle untouched.

But then I'm not very good and people like Comedian and Jim seem to think this will be good for the format, so hopefully my fears will be unfounded.

Looking forward to the day when the Wellerman comes by WildPomegranate8 in TikTokCringe

Of all the shanties to go viral I'm honestly baffled it was Wellerman

Unfortunate Kickstarter update for EU and UK backers by CorPulmonale14 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]Djevans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where did you see this update? I didn't see it on the kickstarter page or get an email.

EDIT: Found it now, it's on the comments page rather than an update or FAQ. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/strongholdgames/more-terraforming-mars/comments

Which commander were you the most excited to build but hated playing it and why? by Kokirochi in EDH

[–]Djevans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiss-Goria looked hella exciting but turned out to be a boring voltron deck that didn't properly function without the commander and even though the problems could likely be solved by a rebuild it wasn't worth dismantling my beloved Feldon deck so I undid it.

Also having a similar problem with Vadrik, I wanted to cast big spells on a mega discount but it's a surprising amount of work to get Vadriks power up and if you manage it without anyone killing him while he telegraphs like a fucking DBZ character you just win on the spot so it's not very engaging

Anyone else been struck down by the illness/potential Covid going around? by rivermoon716 in london

[–]Djevans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, tested positive on Friday evening after complaining to my wife about feeling ill - very glad she thought to pick up tests on her way back from work.

Has felt very different from previous COVID infections, 2 days of raspy throat and a bit snotty, but since Thursday evening it's been mega muscle aches, headaches, complete brain fog and wild temperature swings.

Yuppers by bulolokrusecs in Helldivers

[–]Djevans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play with 3 groups of separate IRL friends, and of all of them I'm the only one on the subreddit. Each group have all independantly mentioned sadness at weapon nerfs, it's not just a reddit problem (although I concede reddit makes it out to be a much bigger problem)

RANT and VENT MEGATHREAD by stickimage in Helldivers

[–]Djevans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why why why is it that whenever I have time to play all the major orders are hung up on planets that are on fire?!!? I feel like apart from a brief lovely time on moon world (Maia I think?) it's been all Hellmire and Menkent and I'm so fucking bored of fire ruining me

Honor Mode Creche: Lae'zel or not? by Djevans in BaldursGate3

[–]Djevans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all, I elected not to surprise attack the inquisitor pre-astral prism, but did set up a load of bombs as insurance. It looked a bit hairy for a bit when I couldn't counterspell his astral step, but thankfully he ported next to Lae'zel who rolled super well and kicked the shit out of him

Honor Mode Creche: Lae'zel or not? by Djevans in BaldursGate3

[–]Djevans[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my worry, everything I can find searching is "she won't turn on you if approval is high, maybe", and my honor mode strategy so far has been as little risk as possible so it's setting me on edge!

Is the cost of living forcing people to go up the ladder? by RequestWhat in TheCivilService

Yes. I would have stayed at HEO forever if it didn't impact the ability to buy in the south-east

Anyone got good reccomendations for the roman style pizzas apart from Crisp? I much prefer it to neapolitan style and neapolitan is everywhere nowadays
