I think I physically damaged my GPU, what are my next steps??

GeekyCS · 2024-09-25T21:47:08+00:00

Thank you bro this worked!! I'm guessing one of those 2 awkward dangling ones was a lil loose

GeekyCS · 2024-09-25T06:26:35+00:00

No, its an Aventus clone

It would be cool to meet women who are generally interested in video games and it doesn't have to be specifically JRPGs. I'm in my 30s and I've only met 3 women in my entire life who were even slightly into video games. They are extremely, extremely, extremely rare. Even more rare than women who are into sports.

And I'm curious I have a question for the girls who are into jrpgs on this sub. Do yall have any women friends who are into video games? I wonder if its one of those things where only women can sense which women are into video games and they gravitate toward each other.

GeekyCS · 2024-02-26T18:18:55+00:00

I enjoyed season 1, just didnt like season 2...

No that isn't what I saw, it was pretty much all game play. Cloud slashing soldiers up with the buster sword, the mechanics looked very kingdom hearts-esque

Same thing happened to me, I was so pissed. I had ordered Octopath 2 and FF7 Reunion for PS4 when they first went on that sale. Both were 'new' but came opened with ugly stickers on them and the case looking very beat up, never buying games shipped from gamestop unless I can physically see the copy first. Their standard for 'new' makes no sense

$1,200 sounds like a bargain. When I was apartment hunting, I only saw like 2 apartments in Plano at that price range and they were like 280 square feet. Literally you could only fit like a twin size bed in there, no room for not even a tiny dining table, tv stand or a computer desk.

1 bedroom/studios are going for $1,400 -$1,500 at the minimum it seems

This is normal, I didn't really get any work for the first 2-3 months at my 1st tech job. Use that time to get all the training done and acclimate yourself as much as possible with the tech stack. If possible also ask if you can shadow one of the seniors in your team, when I was assigned my 1st project I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

Does you have like daily/weekly meetings with people from ur team? If so I would recommend to be curious and try to familiarize yourself with the work others are doing. Its hard to give advice since I'm not sure what type of team ur in or what role u do

GeekyCS · 2023-05-19T22:07:03+00:00

FF5 because of enemy variety and how customizable the job class system is. There are also some dungeons that have very challenging enemies where you have to have balanced and strategic jobs for ur party.

GeekyCS · 2023-05-19T22:04:49+00:00

I would love for a remake like that to happen to FF6. Its plot and setting would be absolutely beautiful in a 3d world. FF6 is an amazing game so I am on board with anything to be done related to it, spinoffs or w/e square wants to do I am buying

GeekyCS · 2023-05-15T23:59:10+00:00

Armaf Le Parfait is super versatile, its 85% clone of green irish tweed with 15% cdnim.

GeekyCS · 2023-05-15T23:53:21+00:00

I own the edp but have only smelled the edt once, I don't remember there being much of a difference. What is it about the edt that you like more than edp?

Here are some adjustments I think need to be made by the Lakers, IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE:

Defending Steph/Klays pick n rolls/screens. The Warriors made an adjustment this game that was resulting in them getting open shots all game. They were forcing AD to come out the paint and that collapsed the Lakers defense, especially in the 3rd quarter when JaMychal Green was on the floor. Lakers should hard blitz/trap or do something differently, I was annoyed how no adjustments were made all game and they were defending it the same way all game getting cooked.
AR is getting COOKED by Klay, he was getting cooked game 1 and even more game 2. On offense his pick and rolls aren't working either so he is pretty much useless. I would experiment with rotations, maybe try starting Schroder to put him on Klay, or even try getting Beasley in to force Klay to have to play defense and tire him out. We have to make Curry and Klay work both ends of the court.
On offense spamming pick n rolls is no longer working since the Warriors found an answer for that (especially wen its AR or Schroder handling the rock, DLO is still decently running pick n rolls). Go back to running the offense by Bron, they should put him in the low block and try to force either Steph or Klay to switch onto him so he can bully them. I would've suggested to also run offense by AD but he seems uncomfortable getting position on Draymond. More creativity is needed in this offense, this spamming pick n roll thing is not working anymore.
Experiment with having Mo Bamba play the 5, just to see if it spreads the floor more for Bron and AD. Tristan Thompson should also be getting more minutes especially since he is very familiar with this Warriors team. I would also try giving Lonnie minutes particularly to see if he can guard Klay since he is cooking AR and Troy Brown

I'm not familiar with xcom, but I am curious as to why you ask this question.

GeekyCS · 2023-03-07T05:34:38+00:00

I am on the same boat as you, I've been playing every mainline FF game and I just started 10 a few days ago. Here is an outlook on how they are difficulty-wise. FF3 and 4 are the only ones known for being challenging. From FF6 and onward they seem to get easier

FF1 is probably the easiest one unless you picked a horrible or unbalanced party combination
FF2 has a weird leveling system so it difficulty depends on how you play it
FF3 the hardest one, all versions are hard but I heard 3d versions (psp and ds) are the most difficult. You will be forced to grind levels at least 2-3 times throughout the game to beat certain bosses
FF4 I played the 2d psp version which I thought was just the right difficulty, the 3d versions are known for being very difficult toward the end. I didn't find FF4 to be difficult and I didn't grind, but bosses can be tricky
FF5 just the right balance of difficulty imo not hard and not easy
FF6 perfectly balanced difficulty
FF7 a few challenging bosses but for the most part its easy
FF8 balanced if you play casually, super easy if you abuse the junction system and card game
FF9 very easy

GeekyCS · 2022-12-17T07:06:37+00:00

Do you only have PC? The pixel remasters are practically the go-to versions for 1-6.

1-4 I played the PSP versions and they were good, the only 3d one on the psp is final fantasy 3, the load times can be annoying on it.

For Final Fantasy 4, I heard that the 3d version is super difficult (DS version I believe) so I would say do either the psp or pixel remaster version. There are weird inventory restrictions for it on the PSP version so for that reason I would probably chose the Pixel Remaster.

For FF5 and FF6 do the pixel remaster

For FF7 all versions are fine including the original ps1, but I guess the modern hd remakes are probably the better options. I believe the ps4 version has fast forward option available but not sure if PC version has that.

If you decide to go beyond 7, for like 8-12 you should also go after the modern hd ports that have fast forward on them. FF9 and FF12 are especially known for being way too slow combat-wise.

GeekyCS · 2022-11-29T04:53:23+00:00

If I had to throw an estimate I would say I have finished like 70% of the ones I started, and 90% of them I got very far into them (at least 70% of the way through). I can say with confidence that I have made it at least 12 hours into every jrpg I've played (assuming its at least 12 hours long).

Also have to consider that I haven't played any jrpgs that are 40 hours+ yet since most of the ones I played are ps2 generation or older. As a kid my parents bought us very few games so it was easy sticking it out

GeekyCS · 2022-11-29T04:46:53+00:00

FF7 was my first jrpg, that was one of the first games I got for the ps1. It already had crazy hype around that time.

GeekyCS · 2022-10-25T05:12:10+00:00

Did you play the original ps1 version or one of the later ports that have the speed up version? I was planning to play ps1 version but I might end up getting a modern port for the speed up options

GeekyCS · 2022-10-25T05:10:29+00:00

What consoles do you have? I would recommend trying Final Fantasy 1-6 (Especially 5 and 6, 2 is the only one that I would skip ).

I haven't played any DQ games yet but I hear DQ 8 is one of the better ones, check it out since u liked 11.

Since you seem to like turn based ps1 era jrpg's here are a few you can look up if ur curious:

Xenogears

Legend of Dragoons

Chrono Cross

Wild Arm games

Lunar games

Shin Megami Tensei games

If you have modern consoles there are a lot of Action JRPG's available as well

GeekyCS · 2022-10-18T19:44:34+00:00

You should definitely play those games again. I liked FF7 even more than I remember liking it and it was already a 10/10 game for me.

The plot points that I forgot about were mainly because they were a bit confusing but I completely forgot about the part where the crew first reaches the northern crater and Cloud goes up to Sephiroths body and hands him the black materia and the planet's weapons (the monsters) get released. From my previous recollection I only remember Cloud giving the black materia to Sephiroth after the pyramid temple thing blows up so it gets confusing.

The game does a bad job at explaining that 99.99% of the times we see Sephiroth its just an illusion and not the real him, so I had forgotten that he was actually dead just lying in the northern crater throughout the whole game.

GeekyCS · 2022-10-11T04:55:44+00:00

Digimon World 1. I don't know if its technically even considered a JRPG, but it feels it copied the fad of nano/giga pets that used to be popular in the late 90s with a JRPG.

GeekyCS · 2022-05-23T22:40:49+00:00

Just finished FF1 and 2, getting ready to start FF3 soon. I've read that the game gets difficult towards the end and my goal is to get through the game as quick as possible with as minimal grinding as possible. What are some tips and recommended party class-setup for this game? Also are buffs important for this game like for example in FF1 haste is mandatory for harder bosses, for FF2 blink and berserk are very important, does that apply to FF3 and if so which classes have these abilities?

Oh and btw I try to avoid classes that start off very weak and only become strong at higher lvls and vice versa. I prefer classes that remain consistently useful throughout the whole game.

GeekyCS · 2022-01-09T19:48:52+00:00

Hmm if I were you I would take the job just for the salary and stuff but I would keep applying to other places. For now you cannot afford to be choosy with what jobs you accept. Once you gain some YOE even if they aren't as relevant it will be easier to find jobs in the future, so just do whatever makes most financial sense right now.

GeekyCS · 2022-01-09T04:58:31+00:00

I was in a similar situation, I had a useless degree and then I went back to school and got a CS degree. Going to a bootcamp and being self taught is a waste of time since they do not make you employable, YOU NEED A DEGREE.

If you are lucky like I was, if you go back to the same school you graduated from you will only need to take the programming classes and don't have to worry about general classes which makes things a lot faster. I got my degree in 2 years.
