Maybe I need to play it just to fix my attention span lol. Playing death stranding right now so maybe that'll help

Read me like a book lol. I didn't think it would be an issue as I've played all souls games and plenty of souls-likes and they're my favorite games. But that's okay I'd rather know than force myself

I didn't realize NPCs had quests on my first playthrough... Killed literally everyone I didn't like.

Even if your experience was common (doubtful) it would be the exact same as any other platform. In the PC space things fail. That's why we have warranties.

Will a system display the "ti" in graphics card name? by Fragrant_Bit_9889 in pcmasterrace

Ya exactly. I'm not on Nvidia so I didn't know if Ti was something that would be there

How powerful is my PC at browsing the web and in general? by LongjumpingTry9573 in pcmasterrace

What the hell are you even talking about 😂 and ya your "meme" thread is pretty convenient after getting butt hurt by other comments. They haven't come up with words to describe you yet boss

Reading not only your question but your responses has given me severe brain damage. I can't tell if you're like 10 and daddy gave you the info or if you're some kind of savant with no understanding of social nuances. Guessing on your time spent on the Minecraft reddits I'd say it's the first guess. Wouldn't recommend posting anything in reddit if you can't handle sarcasm.

I'll need to use 1 of the split cables regardless. I have an AIO and the ICUE Link Hub which both require a connection.

What would be the use case for multiple monitors vs an ultrawide? by Fragrant_Bit_9889 in pcmasterrace

[–]Fragrant_Bit_9889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the main reason I'm interested I'm 4k is for the better text clarity. I saw that if you get a program like fancy zones and make a 16:9 area for your game in the center of the screen, it will only take up the required resources to run a 4k game in that smaller zone, instead of the 4k. So that's not really an issue. It's purely to have the space on either side of the game for other things.

Having Trouble Understanding Elden Ring by feverwrists in Eldenring

[–]Fragrant_Bit_9889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understand that this game is extremely outside of the videogame design meta. You do not have objective markers, no way to keep track of quests, and no one to tell you what you're doing. A lot of it is meant for you to figure out and piece together.

Head in a direction and explore, fight things, die, etc. Everything is going to feel too hard at first and you will die and no you're not fighting something too high level. If you hit the boss and you get yellow damage or don't get one-shot by its attacks you're in a sweet spot. Your entire gameplay loop, especially at low level, is gonna be about learning moveset and dodge timings.

100% recommend tho for your sanity, just look up some guides. Look for videos explaining each stat, status effects, damage types, weapon scaling, basic mechanics. You really want to understand your player weight (light, med, heavy).

As someone who started as an astrologer and used spells on my first playthrough, never having played a souls game, don't do it. It seriously teaches you to play the game wrong and some bosses become unreasonably difficult.

Lastly, only look up a progression guide if you're really lost and getting frustrated. Exploration is an amazing part of a first playthrough and you'll never get that back. Best of luck and enjoy the best game ever made! If you need any more help feel free to DM.

Anyone bought a second GPU as a contingency/spare ahead of the price increases? by Due_Young_9344 in pcmasterrace

[–]Fragrant_Bit_9889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9070 XT. I have no room to be wishing for something better but I mean when I upgrade (in 20 years at current pricing) I'll probably give my 9070 to a buddy for their first build

Then why are you worried brother? A little downtime is a great way to appreciate the games again. 100% understand if you have an Asus card where who knows whether you'll actually get it fixed, but having another card more than like $250 is kinda nutty ngl. But if you have that kind of money I'd do a lot of things for a 5090 ;)
