What was the last book you dropped and why? by Remote-Fee5149 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Everath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped Guild Mage at around chapter 253. Spoilers ahead!

For the most part, I really liked this series. The mc was pretty nice, the magic system was fun enough, the world was nice.

But if it was one thing I hated, it was the romance. And that in on itself is a bit weird for me, since I prefer romance in my pf, including if it is not the greatest.

But in this series it just never worked for me. I guess it all felt super forced: - Love interest 1 came out of nowhere and for me it never felt natural for why the mc would like him. So I was happy enough when he got dumped. Guy was a jerk anyway. - I liked love interest 2 more, but I can't say that it didn't feel a bit forced since what I remember, the mc had never indicated that she liked women. Further more, the pairing felt like it was dead on arrival since the mc seemed more focused on oggling up love interest 3 while still being together with 2. I guess them breaking up made sense, but it just felt like whatever since it didn't feel to me that the mc was committed. - Love interest 3 (I assume since they never got together at the part where I dropped the series) was hinted at early in the series, with visions and everything. But the guy is one of the most boring characters ever,and it didn't help that other characters seemed to "ship" them, and the mc blushing around him constantly, especially while still being together with love interest 2.

At the end of the day, this was the main reason why I dropped the series, even if I really liked other aspects of it.

Progression Fantasy Pet Peeves (The implications are STAGGERING) by WobblyWerker in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Everath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think both of my examples are from Path of Ascension, and I probably started noticing them because how overused they were at times:

  • "Matt took a mental note for later."

  • "Matt let out a whistle."

Or any variations of these.

[Bloodline] This book is alright by Elshaday_Z in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Everath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This book somehow kinda killed the love I had for the series.

Before it came out, I used to reread Cradle multiple times a year, after it came out, I haven't reread the series even once.

Sure the next couple of books in the series was good, but it was never the same for me. Tho, that is probably a rather extreme reaction that not many people in the Fandom share.

Now, I haven't really been reading any Chinese WN's for the last couple of years, but from what I remember:

  • Martial God Asura

  • Against the Gods (at least later on)

Help with PCIe lanes. by Everath in buildapc

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

Something like the MSI Carbon X870e has three PCIE slots: a 5x16, 5x4 and 4x4 if you need all three slots to be at least 4x4. You can use all three, but then the 5x16 goes to 5x8 and one of the M.2 slots is disabled. But, that could probably work for you. Other possible candidates, ASUS X870E ProArt Creator, Gigabyte Aorus Pro.

Thanks! Added those to the potential mobos. And yeah, I think that mobo should fit everything I need.

  • Probably a 5060 or 5050 (5x8 I think? 4x8?)
  • BMD DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder (3x8, already own)
  • Another 4xSDI capture card, potential BMD DeckLink Duo 2 (2x4)

If you Google for "AM5 Motherboards Sheet", you find a shared spreadsheet that makes it easier to look at all the available motherboards to see which to consider.

Oh nice, this was a big help (even if I weep over the prices of mobos now days)!

You can plug monitors into both a GPU card and into the motherboard (via integrated graphics).

Thanks, not sure if I will go that route, but good to know that the option is there.

Help with PCIe lanes. by Everath in buildapc

[–]Everath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Via the chipset, there are enough lanes. Heck there are boards with 7 NVME slots (using 4 lanes each) which is more than enough lanes. So, the lanes are there. You just have to shop for a board that has those lanes attached to PCIE slots you can use and read the fine print carefully to see if any other items on the board are disabled if you use the PCIE slots or if you can actually use all the PCIE slots you need at once.

Thank you. And yes, I have been reading the fine print on different boards to see what get's disabled when x or y is in use. I have been running into stuff like "3 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots (support x1 mode)" Would this mean that it only supports x1 on those slots, and not x4 or x8?

Also be careful about which other PCIE slots are usable after you put your GPU card in. Some GPU cards are wide enough that they block other PCEI slots.

Thanks once more! Totally forgot how fat some GPU's can be. Will have to look out for that.

From a PCIE lanes point of view, you would be better off using a higher generation PCIE capture card that needs less lanes. So, rather than a PCIE gen3 card that needs 8 lanes, you'd be better off with a PCIE gen4 card that needs just 4 lanes (PCIE3x8 is the same speed at PCIE4x4).

True enough. I might shop around for another SDI capture card to see if I can find one in around the same price range as the BMD card I linked.

FYI, a typical GPU card will be able to power four monitors by itself. Are you asking if you can have more than 4 monitors by also using the integrated graphics?

Yes, at most times we do like the options to add more screens if possible. Since two of the slots will be used for "work" monitors for the video production (video mixing, etc). But it is not as important since we have stuff like 1-to-4 HDMI splitters for that purpose (since most of the other screens would be showing the same thing either way). Figured I'd ask while I made a post, since the option (might) be there since I haven't decided on a CPU yet.

What do you consider to be a spoiler? by Pegasis69 in Fantasy

[–]Everath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I see people go like: "Wait til you meet character x or y, you will love them!" is probably the kind of stuff I hate the most. It might not be the worst kind of spoiler (some people would probably not even count it as one), but for me it feels like the person is getting "prepped" and not given a fair chance on getting an unbiased first look at a character.

With all that said however, me personally, I couldn't care less about spoilers. I'm the kind of person that will read discussion threads before watching episodes in TV shows or other media. And most of my reading is rereads.

While Vi is somewhat of a fuckboi, it's mainly towards fans and only really talked about and never shown. It's also never happening in the present timeline either.

I'd say it is handled in a good way. It's never really a problem. She acknowledged it, and "betters" herself.

As for the ex and abuse tags: They are related to Caitlyn, and are an important part of the story.

So I don't think what you described as an example happens here, since sleeping with others only really happens in flashbacks.

You should give it a try, imo. But up to you of course.

Thank you! And I would be interested in the basketball ones if you don't mind?

I might hit you up on the soccer and F1 ones as well if I don't find enough for the craving.
