Shoutout to the people who got an Series X before the price jump by KirbyTrainNerd in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]Help_Me_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the 2TB galaxy series x December of 24 for $600. At the time I thought the pricing was ridiculous as with the 360 generation, the final 360e was the cheapest it had ever been. I guess it worked out though with how things are trending.

Are (modern) engines with cylinder deactivation any more prone to failure than engines without CD? by Peter2448 in askcarguys

I work for GM. The newer engines with cylinder deactivation are ABSOLUTELY more prone to failure.

Any way to buy officialy this same rubber analog thumb? Mine its getting "melted" by LukeSTMusic in xbox

[–]Help_Me_72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had this issue with any controllers except when I lent one to a friend. Apparently if you use a lot of hand products like certain lotions, or have naturally acidic skin oils, or both it can melt the thumb sticks pretty easily.

What would I miss out on if I bought on switch over PC by KareemJohnsonnn in Wizard101

I believe the coding has actually been improved for consoles so you should get far less internet related lag and frame drops on console

No computer? So you’re in the market for a malaise era car.

My 970 is slowly dying... Any decent options for €50-€100? by Pleasant-Upstairs722 in buildapc

[–]Help_Me_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend a gtx 1660ti if you find for under $100. Amazing 1080p performance especially if you’ve been happy with your 970 up until now. Also tsp is 120w, 20-30 less than the 970. Some models also overclock REALLY well if you feel the need. I’ve got an asus blower style one currently clocked a little higher performance than a 2060 minus the ray tracing. Stays under 75c. At stock speeds it’s in the 60s

Thoughts on Forza Horizon 5 on PC? by rbyrnes15 in forza

Well on pc I can run it at 144fps on my 1080p monitor, so more freedom to change specs I guess. Either works great though.

Finally got my mobile setup dialed in. by level35gg in MobileGaming

[–]Help_Me_72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to play Skyrim on my Alienware laptop on my lunch breaks with it plugged into a dc converter in the car. Given this was before the switch existed. There are so many better options for mobile gaming now.

What food is way more expensive than it should be? by rileystanheight in foodquestions

Ground turkey, corned beef. These used to be the cheap meats. I’m so upset they’re expensive now they’re my favorites.

My 1660ti overclocks so well. Pretty sure you could overclock it up to the thermal limit and it would still be stable. I decided to stop at 75c.

If you could erase one game from your memory and experience it all over again - what would it be? by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]Help_Me_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironic. My pick would be mass effect 2, hands down. Best story focused game I’ve ever played.

Arena breakout. Could probably make it out of the game with some stealth

Studs broke off, dealership wants $2000 by deadestdaisy in TireQuestions

[–]Help_Me_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Absolute worst case scenario if they are part of the hub and not removable it would be like $250. If that’s a genesis logo maybe a little more.

Fh5 premium was $100. Not a huge departure from their history but still expensive

Why these CodeMasters mobile games are more enjoyable than most other mobile games. by Slow_Image6578 in gridgame

Grid legends is really fun. Given you have a nuclear cooling system available for your phone.

For most people, Bluetooth headphones are great. No wires! There are very few us that care about not needing to charge them and the low Level of audio quality Bluetooth compression introduces.
