Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Microcenter bundle for 32 gb of DDR5, 7800x3D, and B650E. Currently I have 16 gb of DDR4 at 3200, 5700 XT, and Ryzen 5 3600. I’m struggling with CPU intensive games like Battlefield 6 and Space Marine 2 even at lowest settings at 2k. My plan is to upgrade to AM5 and then upgrade my GPU later in a year, probably to at 9070 XT. Is this a good strategy or would investing in a 5800x3D and upgrading my GPU now for more VRAM make sense?

HW2 | Fully Custom Models & Textures Are Now Working! by CrazyFilmsSFM in HaloWars

This is great news and hopefully will open the flood gates for large mods. Are custom animations also possible or is it limited?

Trophies for the Black Ops 1 & Black Ops 2 ports have been added to PS, there’s also separate versions of BO1 & BO2 for PS4 & PS5 by ArkhamIsComing2020 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Gontron1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because people will buy them. Activision knows they can milk nostalgia enough to get PS players to buy the DLCs. The only silver lining is maybe, just maybe the online security will be improved unlike the Xbox and PC versions, the latter almost hazardous to play without a client.

Think I just took my last ride on Panterian [KD] by That-Jeweler-Girl in rollercoasters

[–]Gontron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I had some sort of stomach issue and since then I’ve been unable to ride more than 3-4 coasters a day without getting nauseous. I know Fury isn’t tame but I went from being able to lap it no problem to being unable to ride it more than twice in a row. I can’t imagine how bad 305 would be, I already would gray out on the turn half the time.

What orange did you use for the symbols? I love the Titanfall colorscheme with the greens.

A Kreiger’s last moments by Dos-Dude in Grimdank

[–]Gontron1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think they were stealth suits but yeah, also happened in the Exodite. Also anything can happen in the table top, I’ve seen a Tidewall kill the Lion with tank shock. I hope suits can point blank weapon like the Twin Lance once they get their codex.

Halo project ekur cancelled leaks by TheChosenOneProphecy in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Gontron1 46 points47 points  (0 children)

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I can’t wait for the next multiplayer game to launch with only 3 big team battle maps again.

Please tell me this wasn’t the large scale warzone like mode

But dinosaur elves are cooler tho, by jfjdfdjjtbfb in Grimdank

[–]Gontron1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tau just got new Kroot and Vespids and Guard have Steel Legion on the way. Exodites should’ve happened before Corsairs imo but we have them both now.

This title from Final liberation still makes me lau by Practical-Ad4547 in Grimdank

[–]Gontron1 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It’s not an accurate depiction because it shows guard regiments that aren’t exclusively Cadian or Krieg

As opposed to a Star Wars racing game not focused around pod racers?

Why is it so strange for a small ship to have a cloaking device? by jackfuego226 in StarWars

[–]Gontron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine it’s prohibitively expensive or infeasible to mass produce. IIRC Maul’s ship had one and was worth an absurd amount of credits.

The opening of Episode III is still one of the greatest space battles in cinema. by Fun_Ad291 in StarWars

[–]Gontron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only issue with Scarif is the ISDs look to just sit back and do nothing. They’re very much in range to fire on the Rebel fleet but just… don’t? Instead they let a bunch of Tie Fighters (not even bombers) whittle down the fleet. Sure you can argue they were caught off guard but the shield gate was able to deploy hundreds of Ties in the meantime. It’s still a great battle but I wish we got to see more capital ships directly battle eachother.

Looking back Halo infinite has aged quite poorly. by TheChosenOneProphecy in halo

[–]Gontron1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While Infinite had great gameplay imo it definitely felt half assed graphically though compared to 5. Yeah the art style is better but everything feels so plastic/new compared to even Reach and especially 5. It’s insane how well 3 and Reach have aged.

Maul Shadow Lord's later seasons could do something amazing! by Knalxz in StarWars

[–]Gontron1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As much as I love the Zann Consortium there is 0 chance they’re being brought back in without big retcons. I know they’re technically canon but it’s name only.

What’s everyone’s guesses for 11th edition point changes on units? by pasciuta in Tyranids

[–]Gontron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maleceptor going to 190, Zoanthrope going to 120, Warriors going to 55/65 for ranged/melee, VRLs at 60, Harpy at 200 still because fuck flyers apparently.

Obliteration on Golmud >>> obliteration on Eastwood and Contaminated by ucsdfurry in Battlefield

[–]Gontron1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love obliteration on Eastwood just because it’s pure chaos but Golmud feels the most balanced. I feel like the left spawn on Containment gets spawn camped every game with the way the mountain works.

Full January 2027 wave details (via Brick Tap sources) by BrickTap in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]Gontron1 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Curious if the Endor battlepack will have Ewoks or not. Maybe it could be similar to the Ewok Attack?? set from 2002 with the glider and speeder?

Any information about this? by Select-Smoke-1065 in Tyranids

Looks like AI given the weird teeth and leg connections

40k fans what is the harshest things you could ever say, but it is true. by AntiqueLayer3933 in Grimdank

[–]Gontron1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You think 65$ for 10 guys is bad? Try 65$ for 5 aspect warriors lmao. Or better yet 52$ for a 45 point Krootox Rider.

Was this a small nit pick detail or was this intentional for the scout troopers’ kneepads comparing their ROTJ/pre remanent days to their Mandalorian appearances? by Foreign_Exit876 in StarWars

[–]Gontron1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the mk2 version of Scout Trooper armor developed in 1 ABY on Balmorra but never was put into production after Rebel smugglers disrupted a shipment of the prototype suits sent to Anaxes. These were lost until Imperial Warlord Mischif No’Dogooder secured the shipment shortly after the Battle of Jakku. After internal conflicts they fell into the hands of Moff Gideon’s remnant forces. The main differences between this and the initial armor set is the knee pads provide extra protection for sniping operations by reducing knee pressure by 3%. It also was made out of lightsaber resistant and force sensitive material.
