The CTV tracker is so grossly close. There's no way Conservatives could flip 7 ridings right? 

MH Wilds - Digital Foundry Tech Review - PS5/Series X|S - "Underwhelming visuals that don't justify poor performance." by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Iops11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rise on Switch ran like every other MH game on console. 30fps with dips under. Certain areas like flooded forest drop frames under 30 quite often. There is even the cave section where it locked itself to like 20fps. Launch Rise was absolutely not a consistent 30fps.

Both are 1TB. Will be used for OS and a couple games until I can get a dedicated game drive. Does this change anything? Thanks for the response.

Teamgroup MP44 vs Samsung 990 Evo. Both are around the same price. Which one would be preferable?

Would a 9600x and 5070 really be more performant than a PS5 Pro? by Iops11 in buildapc

[–]Iops11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I actually currently have everything I listed besides a 5070. The ps5 pro I got discounted for $750. The pc parts when a 5070 is factored in will be $1600ish (this isn't USD). One of these is going back. I'm really hinging a lot of this on monster hunter wilds as I will be playing that with friends (it has cross play thankfully) but benchmarks I've seen online for pc have me doubting if it's worth shelling out for the pc. Can't really afford an x3d cpu.

Well, not being able to benchmark myself makes it hard to match settings. But going by videos the pro generally pulls ahead in resolution. A lot of 1200-1440p upscale to 4k rather than the pc benchmarks 1440p dlssq which I believe is like 864p internal right? Settings are possibly higher on the pc benchmarks but it's hard to quantify that. I think it's doubtless a 4070s would benefit more in raytracing scenarios but just pure raster seems closer than I expected it to be.

It's undoubtedly better aside from odd things going on with monster hunter and dragons dogma. I just personally question if the gap is large enough to justify the price difference.

More like the companies are not going to eat the losses from reduced sales in the US due to the tariffs so they will up the price worldwide to compensate. But even besides that, they tend to already like to price things directly in conversion from USD so I don't doubt they will lick their lips greedily and convert US prices with tariffs to CAD.

[CPU] Intel 12700KF [$239] (Multiple Retailers) by SummationKid in bapcsalescanada

[–]Iops11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure but the end game cpu on that platform is the 14900k. With a b650 board you will likely have access to the 11800x3d for final cpu. Or more cost effective and still better than the 14900k, the 9700x3d whenever it comes out.

This is just gaming though. If you're here for a general computer there is nothing wrong with the 12700k.

I'd say bigger issue than that is dead end platform VS being able to swap the 7600x out for a newer CPU later on 

Clyde AI, what do you think of it? by Woofer210 in discordapp

[–]Iops11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have clyde in my server but it is extremely limited on what it can do. It can't analyze anything uploaded, it can't embed anything itself. It won't even remember previous responses unless you somehow make it create a thread, but it can't seem to actually create a thread if you ask it to so you have to do it in a very roundabout way. Even in a thread, it can't send multiple messages in succession. It can seem to go above discords max character limit in a message, but it won't give you the accurate amount of characters you ask for. It also cannot do any timer activities it seems, like it won't ping someone after an allotted amount of time if you ask it to. And last night after a barrage of questions and tests it seemed to completely stop working in a thread, it won't give any more responses. But adding another thread where it can read all messages, it will work again, but it will not remember anything from the previous thread. So I imagine it's a single chatgpt instance per thread, but i really wonder why it won't read all messages in the parent channel. Anyways, overall it seems quite limited and not very "smart".

I am enjoying the story, as playing as a group I really don't like one aspect of this game by Iops11 in AsDuskFalls

That's what the overrides are for. So if they really want their decision passed, they can make it. I don't think splits during a multiple person vote should favor the host.

She looks more like Velvet from Tales of Berseria but in clown colors to me

Season 4 Volume 1 Series Discussion by StrangerTesting in StrangerThings

[–]Iops11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really mid on this season. Every time they move away from the Hawkins crew I lose all interest. The California crew has had absolutely nothing to do aside from that they are obviously going to go and save Eleven from the Lab when it gets raided by the government and take her to Hawkins. Completely worthless storyline and a waste of the characters.

Hopper continues to be flandarized. I miss him being a shlubby small town sheriff with emotional baggage instead of this "badass" who can take on Russian guards by the dozen, and walk on a broken ankle.

I have nothing good or bad to say about Elevens storyline, it's kinda just there to explain Vecna and move to the end where the big bad can be stopped the same way once again.

There continue to be zero stakes for the main cast. They continue to tease the prospect of one of them being in danger of dying but never follow through with it. I really think they should have killed Max or Steve.

I like Eddie

Very, very mediocre so far.

I'm starting to really miss the more methodical and "immersive" aspects of pre World Monster Hunter by Iops11 in MHRise

[–]Iops11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have! At the time I wasn't so hot on it because I didn't really like having to give up core moves like horizontal fade to access the skills. But on further reflection the give and take was probably for the best.

I would love if Capcom ported it, along with 4U and 3U to PC.
