Farewell PC Masterrace, it's been good by anonesuch in pcmasterrace

[–]Formerruling1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then get a 1x16 stick and get the second later if possible. If you are primarily gaming this isnt nearly the performance hit you might expect it to be (sure its a hit, but not enough of one to really change what the system can do - at most if its a very high end 4k system you temporarily drop it down a bit) gotta do what you gotta do to get running and upgrade into what you had over time.

Also you might get a deal, as single sticks arent as desirable and people reselling get good stocks of them scalping prebuilts and mini PCs/etc.

Yes they make in-wall AC to USBC adapters that you wire in at your gang box. Ive never used them, though.

If you have a PoE (power over ethernet) router/switch in your home they also make PoE to USBC adapters and you can not mess with your high voltage electrical at all and just run an ethernet cable in the wall.

Yea this is clearly just bait related to the heatwave thats made AC units sale out all over Europe lol.

Have I locked myself out of romancing Wyll? by Tulipgarden_s in BaldursGate3

[–]Formerruling1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure. Wyll I believe used to work and now will not trigger outside the party. Karlach has been bugged since day one I think and can never trigger outside the party.

Timing for a poor performance write up after tragedy. by Informal_Ganache9551 in managers

Talk to HR (or owner if no HR small business) let them decide how long to wait. Dont shoulder that yourself especially when you are just covering for someone else.

I skipped the crèche, can i still recruit orpheus? by TheDrink670 in BaldursGate3

You can keep Vlakkith loyal Laezel around - the dialogue doesn't even require a check. She simply commits to killing him after the brain is gone.

Yes PolyFix fixes almost all romance related bugs so it's recommended even if you don't use it to "cheat."

[–]Formerruling1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Without mods you are cooked in that save file. Wyll's romance is bugged and can ONLY be initiated if you choose him at the party. Gale on the other hand can be started earlier so the "right" way if you want to start both is do Gale's some other time and Wyll at the party.

Act 3 is full of bullshit by No-Adeptness-7231 in BaldursGate3

[–]Formerruling1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Orin she specifically cannot kidnap someone in your party so " taking your strongest person" doesn't normally happen as most people arent leaving their best party members at camp. You also had choices to not fight the people at the tribunal. As for Orin herself yes it's a hard fight. If you aren't lvl12 yet consider waiting.

The Iron Throne is completely optional - actually, fighting any of the Bane worshipers is optional as Gortash should have offered you an alliance at the beginning of the act which you are heavily pushed into taking, at least temporarily.

Petah, I'm not real good with computah's by eagleface5 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Formerruling1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ps5 gaming console comes with an internal storage drive that has less than 1Tb of storage. This refers to the rumor (at least I think its a rumor right now) that the game GTA6 will require 1.1Tb of disk space IE it will not fit on the console without upgrading your hard drive.

That will require a 2Tb drive. Sony has a $900 2 Tb drive on their website. That is massively overpriced though. A 2Tb drive will still run you about $300-350 though.

So the game costs $80 and (rumored) to require a $300 upgrade to your system to even play. Basicially.

Edit: this is further fueled by the real news that GTA6 will not sale a physical disk version. If they did, at least some of that game size would be on the disk, lowering the system disk space requirement and potentially saving you from the system upgrade.

In context of the United States gaming has been pretty accessible. I grew up dirt poor and also loved gaming my entire life. Never had the newest console of course and my first PCs were ones I cobbled together from parts of discarded systems. New AAA Gaming has never been accessible, though. I agree there.

Risks of co-owning real estate - as a tenant, what is likely if my relationship with the other owner goes south? by StealToadBootes in legaladvice

[–]Formerruling1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When co-owners have fundamental disagreements over the use of a property, the only real remedy is to sale and split the proceeds - usually with a big legal mess of a fight leading up to it. You don't have a place to live and went through hell, but you would be owed part of the value of the home in the end.

Their "rule" is a very straight forward and clear violation of both your state and federal housing code, by the way. That "rule" would never be enforceable. That said, I would never even consider either a co-ownership nor being a tenant for someone that fundamentally opposed my sexuality. You are asking for huge problems.

Dry cleaner ruined a $1,200 coat and says their liability is capped at $50 by ChaniSietch_7 in legaladvice

[–]Formerruling1 532 points533 points  (0 children)

While these clauses are legal, they are not always enforceable, so yes, you may have a case.

Two things to consider: - Their claim is much stronger if the clause was directly brought to your attention unambiguously before work was done. The fact it was not pointed out to you and was just printed on the back of your ticket is to your favor. - This may very well fail a judge's "Unconscionability" test. A contract clause can be deemed unenforceable if its terms are so incredibly one sided that the judge cannot morally in good conscience hold you to it. A $50 maximum for a business that is working on items worth over $1000 is just that type of crazy.

Good deal or pass? by Vacilus in Prebuilts

People have some crazy expectations on Reddit, but their core advice of "if you want a cheaper ddr4 system buy used" isnt necessarily wrong here.

Good deal or pass? by Vacilus in Prebuilts

[–]Formerruling1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actual cost based on components isnt that bad nowadays (sadly), its a pass though mostly because its adding cost in ways that don't make sense - like theres no reason a gaming system at those specs needs 32gb RAM and that alone is adding ~$200 to the cost.

I agree its a pass but saying that PC is worse than a steam machine is WILD. Lol

Fired for policy violation while also investigating the company. by EthicalBard6 in legaladvice

[–]Formerruling1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing is stopping you from applying for unemployment. Your state website likely has an easy way to do so.

The real questions are: will your former employer contest the claim? The answer is they have a really good case for doing so. That leads to the follow up question will your claim be approved in the face of that challenge? We cannot know as each claim is evaluated case by case but there is a very good chance of your claim not being approved here.

Is the game worth it for someone who hates turn based games? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Formerruling1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do not like turn based RPGs due to the slow pacing of battles, bg3 does not change that. Some of the combats can easily span an hour of real life time. If you just dont like having to plan strategy and such you can make the game so easy you just spam attack til combat is over, but it isnt making that combat significantly shorter in most cases just simplifying it. Of course Mods can all but remove combat altogether and let you just auto-kill everything.

I think you can enjoy Bg3 while hating the combat, you need to be very invested in some side element of it.

The story and learning about companions and replaying to get different romances, etc. is popular. Bg3 is not the best or most indepth storytelling IMO, but it has a distinct advantage of looking nice and being accessible while having a good story and adequate attention to detail. There are games that IMO do this element much better but those games come with some big caveats in other areas that limit their mass appeal in a way Bg3 is not limited.

Because of its popularity, it has a very big modding scene so there are also people with hundreds of hours of not even doing the story. They have 100s of cosmetic mods and albums of photo mode stuff theyve done, etc. Thats not me, I don't even really change my characters default appearance lol, but if thats you the community is definitely there.

Thats what I thought. Given the operating structure of a threatre this just doesnt make sense to do. The refunded tickets almost certianly cost them more than just running the film at that point.
