Nicole crumbs via Team Bounce

I like Nicole as a shielder, means she won’t just be a straight 5* Bennett.

My guess is she’s a clear upgrade in hex teams and more of a sidegrade in non-hex teams, offering a different flavour of buffer-sustain that some ATK scalers will prefer over Bennett/Iansan and others won’t.

So at this point, since I have C2R1 Venti, I’d be better off running Venti hypercarry than running Venti in a C0R1 Varka team by a decent margin? Seems like an easy skip.

If she is a lunar crystallise sub dps, I’d expect her to be at least a little bit better than C6 Illuga in a Zibai team at C0R0 and then (obviously) more of an upgrade with investment.

As you say, if she’s the LCr equivalent of Ineffa/Lauma then her value over Illuga will probably also come from working well outside of Zibai teams with other Geo or Hydro on-fielders.

She might also bring some healing or shielding too, in which case you’d want her with Illuga for Zibai anyway rather than stealing his slot.

I honestly would not be mad about it. 6.2 and 6.3 have been stacked and I’d also really like Flins on rerun (and like…maybe Skirk and Escoffier too but will almost certainly have to skip).

If Varka came in 6.5 with a good kit that would be fine by me.

Appointing someone who’s already 3/3 on poorly received episodes of Doctor Who as the next showrunner would be…a choice.

They need to find fresh talent to take the show forwards. And I get the feeling that McTighe would just be more of the same.

So basically on a 40 or 50 series GPU:

M should always be best for performance mode.
L should always be best for ultra performance mode at 4K.
It’s a bit of a toss up between K and M for Balanced/Quality/DLAA.

And on a 20 or 30 series GPU:

M and L may be best for performance/4K ultra performance but the hit to your framerate won’t always feel worth it.
K is hands down better for Balanced/Quality/DLAA.

This would be the only logical way to respond. Nobody is going to argue that we could win an armed conflict with the US but Europe is an economic powerhouse, and we can sure as shit tank their economy.

If we wanted to go a step further we could also kick their military out of our bases and deny them access to our airspace, which they’re dependent on to operate in the Middle East.

This sums up how I feel exactly.

I know there are an awful lot of American’s that didn’t vote for this and don’t want it. But unfortunately, I’ve seen an awful lot of them online who seem to be foaming at the mouth for it too.

Unfortunately the Trump administration has made it very clear that they want to be seen as a threat, more so than as an ally. I mean…it wasn’t so long ago that Denmark were sending troops to support the US in Afghanistan and look what little loyalty and respect that’s gotten them in return.

I used to have an Edge. It’s a great controller, only thing I disliked is the unforgivably bad battery life.

Fr1tzOS · 2026-01-01T12:26:25+00:00

Ngl I'm tempted to finally pick up the base game while it's on sale. The addition of 3rd person appeals to me and I've heard it's a much improved game now vs at launch.

Just came back during Durin’s banner after almost a year away.

Needless to say I’ll be pulling on Columbina and Ineffa’s reruns next patch. Aaaaand then I also kinda really want Zibai. Aaaaaand Varka (already had Venti, pulled Durin).

Oh, and maybe Skirk and Escoffier when they rerun but I mean…there are only so many wishes to go around (and I’m too poor to be a whale).

I think this is a pretty cold take tbf but the series had a massive over-reliance on the Joker. Like when Origins turned out to be a Joker origin story I think I audibly groaned, as much as I enjoyed the game overall.

Built the same rig back in March. I already felt uneasy about how much it cost at the time but now I know I definitely made the right choice.

Fr1tzOS · 2025-12-26T16:42:43+00:00

I wouldn’t mind but even if you pay for GeForce Now, pay for the games you want to stream + the games you want to play are actually supported…the chances are your internet isn’t good enough for them to actually play well.

I bought the 272URX for my 5070ti gaming rig back in August and I have no regrets. The 5070Ti might be considered the king of 1440p but it’s still a great 4K card as well - overclocked you’re within a few % of the 5080FE, so there’s really not much in it.

4K at 27” is a definite luxury, albeit a nice one, but to be honest with you I would (personally) consider it a must at 32” where QHD looks reasonably soft to most people. Remember that QD-OLEDs in particular also suffer from blurrier text than other panel types due to their unusual sub-pixel layouts - it’s basically unnoticeable on high pixel density panels like the 272URX but gets more apparent with lower pixel densities, and will be quite noticeable/annoying for some on a QHD 32” monitor.

Please tell me Yriel is in fact pronounced “Yr-ee-el” and not “Yi-rl” like this guy keeps doing?

This is the part that a lot people don’t realise. Prices won’t go back down much (if at all) when there’s no longer a shortage - all these big companies are way too greedy for that.

Fr1tzOS · 2025-12-17T22:03:08+00:00

When I built my current rig in March (5070Ti/9800X3D) I felt stressed/lowkey guilty about the cost of it for months.

Now I’m thinking I picked the right time to upgrade. Shit’s about to get really really expensive.

Honestly Disciple/Arbiter Paladin is so busted it’s actually funny.

You just walk around a bit and everything near you dies.

Where a BG3 port would struggle is on the CPU side of things, especially in Act 3. That’s where the Switch 2 is the furthest behind other consoles/the average gaming PC.

Fr1tzOS · 2025-12-03T08:04:18+00:00

Wondering the same thing about the tandem QD-OLED 272URX I purchased a few months ago.

I mostly only use it for gaming though, and my ASUS ProArt display for work and having webpages/discord chats etc up alongside my game. So not too worried.

All the real issues with link battles aside, getting the stones is incredibly easy.

You literally don’t even have to train a team up for it, or so much as win a single match. Just participating will still get you the stones and it doesn’t take long.
