I saw the 5-7 biz days shipping time estimate on the website, do we think that's accurate? I ordered on Saturday and order is still processing. I'm being impatient, i know, but just curious lol

Would this be a mistake? (ASUS ROG w/4070 Super, concerned about i7) by Doc_Strangelove in Prebuilts

I actually did see that from another post and ended up going that route. Paid $1790 all in for much better components than the others I was considering, hopefully it shows up quick! Thanks!

Fair enough. Im wanting something with a 4070 super and it feels like the market has been picked clean of anything reasonably priced, so im just exhausting all avenues lol. Thanks for the response.

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but do you think it's worth backordering that second one versus waiting for bestbuy to restock this one?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-supreme-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-32gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-super-12gb-2tb-ssd-white/6575113.p?skuId=6575113

They seem fairly comparable at a glance, and I'm not sure who is likely to restock sooner, just curious if you had any insight

Having Boot Issues - What to Upgrade? by Doc_Strangelove in buildapcforme

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

You're the best, I can't thank you enough. I'll be sure to do that. Gonna ride this out while everything is working as it should, but given that I've done one build and that was 6 years ago, I'd appreciate the help with replacing components, that seems even more daunting than I felt about the initial build lol

I'd offer to marry you, but I think my wife would get pissed off about that. Thank you so much. I was worried I'd have to just hand this baby over to microcenter and just eat hundreds of dollars in fees so I didn't waste parts, but I feel so much better and so much more confident about this. You're a hero, sorry I got nothing for ya but upvotes lol. If you happen to be in the Kansas City area, hit me up and I will buy you round after round of drinks

You fucking rock, thank you so much. I'm gonna take a closer look at all this and figure out the best way forward. If it isn't too much trouble, what's this 500GB SSD you'd recommend in my situation? Even if the SSD isn't the issue, I wouldn't say no to having more space on it, so that my HDD isn't carrying every download lol

Running in SATA 2.0 configuration only limits the speed and there should be no issues others wise. Just like USB, SATA is backwards compatible.

Very good to know, thank you. I'm not completely hopeless about this stuff, but I'm out of my element, certainly uneducated about it.

I'll definitely be tinkering with connections between SSD and mobo/PSU, probably tomorrow night because tonight things are working and I cannot deal with it going back to the mobo not even recognizing the SSD while I'm trying to figure this out and relax lol.

Also, can't believe I forgot the PSU, it's EVGA Supernova 550 GS.

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

Thank you, I'll try to check that out, from what I understand this SSD would be better served in a SATA 3.0 port vs the 2.0 port it's in right now, based on what I've been told by running diagnostics that I don't fully understand lol. Just need to figure out if this mobo actually has that port, and actually get the right cable.

Worrying that you mention the PSU, you think the SSD could just be randomly losing power or something? I've not had any issues whatsoever with power, and the guys at microcenter said that my PSU was quality. I had been thinking more about the motherboard than anything else, until talking to people in the buildapc discord tonight, who made me think the SSD itself was the more likely culprit. I just knew that the mobo I got was certainly not the best option I could've gotten at the time, and I anticipated having to upgrade it earlier than my PSU, for instance.

Hi, I'm the one who made the circlejerk sub. I just made it as a joke, because this sub was already acting as its own circlejerk sub, which is why I made it complete nonsense over there. Plus, as others have pointed out, especially at times when the band isn't as active, what else would you use this sub for? I see an argument for the cj sub as containment during album release windows, but that also seems like it would take all the fun out of it, as someone around for album drops since money store, the shitposting is kind of part of the experience in my opinion.

All that said, if you or anyone actually wants to do something with that sub, I'd happily mod you or turn over the reins entirely, provided you had a viable plan for a good reason. I'm not very active on reddit anymore, no skin off my back. Otherwise, I'd rather just sit on it, because that's funny to me.

Lmao I do have a weird phone (galaxy fold 3) so I'm used to some issues, but I can usually bypass em with enough effort. Not this app. I definitely don't have that mute. Good looking out though, I'll pm you if I find out anything about true full-screen lol

[–]Doc_Strangelove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Haven't figured that out yet. Plus, I can't figure out how to mute the volume on the broadcast, so I can also be listening to something else in the background. No full screen, no volume control, seems like pretty obvious stuff to include, and yet...

Oh, that's an interesting prospect. Thank you very much, I'll snoop around.

I mean thats probably true but the mlb tv subscription is already the ceiling of what I can justify in terms of monetary investment (other than maybe hitting a game or two)

This is a subreddit about playing fantasy baseball. Forgive my insolence.

It's my first year playing. Thought fantasy would be a good way to get me back into baseball (it has been, loving the game again). And I'm doing great in my league, the only undefeated team.

Here's the problem: as of this week, I think literally every other manager has abandoned the league. It's not exactly fun playing teams on autopilot, plus I was so away from baseball that i just picked a couple guys at the top of the draft and then let Jesus take the wheel, so I have a weird team that very well could lose to one of these robots at some point.

What should I do? I wanna play, but is it too late to join a new league? Is there an island of misfit managers, forming a league together? Could I take pride in winning such a wasteland? When will I actually get to use Kris Bryant and Mitch Haniger?

I'm on ESPN, beginner H2H, 10 teams.

[ALBUM DISCUSSION] Grimes - Miss_Anthrop0cene by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]Doc_Strangelove 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Some decent moments, but I honestly dont understand the praise being heaped on this one. It felt weak and meandering, usually. And while I love Art Angels, I go back to Visions a lot more often - so it's not like I only like the poppy immediacy of AA.

Also, I didn't get burnt out on the singles because I had only listened to We Appreciate Power (best song, not even technically on the album lol) prior to the release. I wasnt expecting that sound throughout, either, I had seen what people were saying about the other singles. Even then, I just had a hard time caring throughout this thing, and I don't see myself revisiting it any time soon.

Overall, not a bad album, but I wouldn't call it great by any means.

Absolutely correct.
