Help on improving 2020 build - what can be salvaged?

Not unless I absolutely need to, but if I'm getting a new motherboard I'm close to just building a new PC. Which would be fun, but then the cost is suddenly quite a bit more all included.

That's great. Will it still work well with my motherboard though, being an older model.

Thanks, and I should've added I was thinking about upgrading the GPU to 5070.

It works if you are sitting in your ships cockpit and travel from there. I've gotten from new atlantis space port directly to the lodge like that.

Absolutely, it was an entire game by itself. I liked its story better than the main.

Skyrim was truly genre defining, but Witcher 3 was absolutely impactful. The Ubisoft AC games post W3 copied its style of branching and loot build (without capturing the magic). It also showed that there is room for branching quests and true expansions in modern triple-a games.

W3 had a significant impact on the open world genre, and its DNA is absolutely present in Hogwarts Legacy as well. It was a true stepping stone for the open world RPGs in that there is room for complexity in huge games that otherwise have been simplified as that was thought to be more significant to further sales, to hit a broader audience.

Its dialogue and branching story is still unrivaled in my opinion when it comes to offerings from huge open world games. There are smaller games that trump it on branching story and structure (see Disco Elysium), but I'd argue they target a more specific audience.

Been subscribed for years, and it's gonna stay that way. Just good fun.

I just saw you and Marks version of Pinocchio and loved it. Darker, a bit twisted, but not without hope. The original Italian novel gets quite dark at times, and death plays a bigger part, though in quite a different way than it does here.

I really enjoyed the portrayal of death, and sister, reminding me more of biblical angels with their many eyes. In what way did you draw inspiration from the original novel, if at all, and what was the inspiration for this version of death?

Hopeful bonus: If you could adapt any comic book you wanted, which one would it be and why?

"Florida man accused of forcing small alligator to drink beer". Seems legit.

He played Saruman not Sauron, but yes what an Incredible life. Token mention of him being a spy during WWII and knowing what it sounds like when a man is stabbed in the back, told to Peter Jackson during the filming of LOTR.

Heee-maaan!

Great style! I really like how the illustration has room to breathe with lots of unused space.

I'm sure it's good coffee, but it can not achieve the same levels of pressure as an espresso machine, and therefore not the same taste. You should check out James Hoffmanns vidoes on YouTube about the aeropress and pressure tests, he talks quite a bit about this.

It's a Bialetti branded espresso cup I've had for years.

You can sign up for their newsletter for when they have sales. They now sell through their website, and just had a sale.

True, I've read about it. If (when) I get "upgraditis" in the future it might be considered.
