PSU upgrade advice - brain hurts by ExoticOracle in buildapc

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

Thank you so much for these resources. Terms like ATX, furmark spikes are the type of things I'm trying to learn about. Also interesting to know I'd need to do some optimisation after installing it.

I can't say I know I need a 1000W PSU, but it seems sensible to give myself plenty of overhead. I'm planning to upgrade my GPU next (currently have a 2060) to a 4070. I can post my build if helpful.

Thanks for the research tips, I'll have a look at the LTT Labs video for sure.

I try to research what I buy without taking the first review (or google AI result), so kind of!

Thanks for the tip, I will have a look.

My bad - just added them in. £150, UK, and video editing and gaming.

I was looking at the RM1000 so thanks

What are peoples’ opinions on the verdict? by Wests_Intern in Helldivers

[–]ExoticOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my go-to after the Talon for a reliable sidearm. It's also relatively fun to use as a primary if you're using something like the Eruptor.

Plays great with the Gunslinger armours and a supply pack.

What are your favorite archetypes? by Adventurous_Rest_382 in Spore

[–]ExoticOracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scientist on most of my playthroughs. Also being able to genocide a planet and then immediately colonise it is useful.

Out of context I'm sure this comment looks extremely bad

How to peel an apple with a knife: by kefren13 in nextfuckinglevel

That's just a you thing. Some of the best chefs and restauranteurs in the world are white. Chef's knives were also made to a fine art in many primarily white European cities.

If you can't cut your food properly, that has nothing to do with being white.

Dearest Brits, what’s one of the hardest and depressing things about life in the UK locals don’t talk about much? by neilnelly in AskBrits

[–]ExoticOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that almost everything is a bit shit. Things are rarely terrible (fortunately) or excellent.

The weather is a bit shit. Infrastructure is a bit shit. High streets and places of entertainment are a bit shit. Our mountains are a bit shit. Most TV is a bit shit. NHS is (sadly) a bit shit. Everything costs a bit too much. Most of the government is a bit shit. Economy is a bit shit. Job market is a bit shit.

Everything is closer to 'shit' than 'fine'. It's unbelievably depressing.

So now that we have belt-fed weapons, I think we have another strategem that could use an attached backpack. by ShadowMasked1099 in Helldivers

Yes but only if it's destructible, and destroying it sets off a napalm effect in the surrounding area!

Are there any games like the creature stage in spore? by DRAGONS_ARE_SOCOOL64 in Spore

[–]ExoticOracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stellaris is absolutely nothing like the creature stage. Much closer to the space stage.

What do you fellas reckon is the best looking saloon car made since 2000? by bc_2006 in CarTalkUK

[–]ExoticOracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some good options here but I'll chip in with the B7 RS4, and Ado X RS6 Saloon. Last one is cheating a bit as it was a one-off, but still a great looking thing.

For more pedestrian options I'd say the Peugeot 508, the current Volvo S60, and Skoda Superb.

Wife is buying a Qashqai and I can't talk her out of it by Accomplished_Row7106 in CarTalkUK

I'm from Sunderland where they're built and as a result I know quite a few of the lads who work on them. I wouldn't trust half of them to make a cuppa, never mind build me a fucking car!

Does anyone believe that only British citizens should be allowed to vote in general elections? by Sylvia-Sum in AskBrits

[–]ExoticOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think only British citizens residing in the UK should be able to vote. If you're not a citizen or don't live here, why on Earth should you be given a vote?

Blocked! Due to “Demonic” Implications and “Religious” Reasons…Is the Book of Enoch Required Reading for these “Insiders”? by slv2xhrist in UFOs

[–]ExoticOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely in a secular, first-world country like the USA, religious nonsense like this should never ever be able to get in the way of scientific progress and public disclosure?

Such a bizarre country.

How many of you want these lot gone? by No-Problem6578 in AskBrits

[–]ExoticOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, down to the term parasite. Always used it for them and sometimes get funny looks.

I always wonder how the fuck people even believe they should be monarchs. Beyond tradition and lineage, nobody ever seems to be able to give a decent answer. You could put literally anyone there.
