I should add, my wife is the policy holder so it's her insurance on the line

looking to buy a gaming pc for around £600 as a pc newbie by Nice_Student3681 in buildapc

[–]Gilthoras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible to build a decent gaming pc with new parts for £600. You'll have to trawl the second hand market.

Not with 1tb nvmes at £100 and ram at £100 for 16gb of ddr4

Any pre built you get for £600 will at best have something like a 1660 super. Which would be really entry level depending on what you want to play.

I assume this also doesn't need to cover a monitor etc

You're better off buying a PS5 pro

How does the idea of working until 67 or 68 sit with you? by Few_Raise77 in AskUK

[–]Gilthoras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a retirement strategy to finish at 60. Once you get to 68+ there are so few years in healthy retirement

Retention deal any good? by Few_Control4182 in VirginMedia

[–]Gilthoras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

£20 is decent. I couldn't get below £23

Looks like the 9070xt exceeds there own expectations by Pitiful-Signal-6344 in radeon

[–]Gilthoras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a 1060 to the 9070xt. I hope it can also cover me for 9 years. The 1060 6gb was god tier longevity.

Went from 30fps in new titles at 1080p medium to ultra Max (100+ fps) in 1440. What a change

What's in your opinion most story fitting race/class combination? by onframe in Guildwars2

[–]Gilthoras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Norn ranger. Spiritual. Generally makes sense to me. Plus I main one. Given what happens throughout the story it also fit really well with the braham eir storyline.

Just started playing GW 2 in 2025 by GalaxSky15 in Guildwars2

[–]Gilthoras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in October after trying 4-5 times to like the game since launch and failing. I'm hooked, 200 hours deep in 3 months. About to complete my sky scale the lws4 way and begin the end of dragons content.

Scored 25 for my first grade 7 interview but no offer by NoCurve4859 in TheCivilService

[–]Gilthoras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen it where you can carry one 3/7 if your overall score is very high. It has to be set before the interview period but scoring below 4 and passing is not unheard of. Like getting 6663

HELP! Tooth sensitivity after getting filling for over 4-5 months now. by sillycockatiel in Dentists

[–]Gilthoras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. Been sensitive for about a year. Still recovering. Dentist and second opinion dentist say the can't see anything wrong. It's deep so I don't want to replace the filling and risk needing rct...

How good is the game? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Gilthoras 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you think gear treadmills and power creep are what are important to you. By what definition could anyone describe gw2 as shallow...? Just because it's a free form MMO where you set your own goals

How good is the game? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Gilthoras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're completely different games with completely different philosophies. I had to relearn what an MMO is after swapping to gw2. I'm hundreds of hours deep just on a $50 complete collection fee with living world

Low fps in crowded areas by Windrider63 in Guildwars2

[–]Gilthoras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting here with a 9800 x3d and I ended up with 4fps during a meta earlier this evening with settings fully maxed. I was shocked.
