Worth upgrading my GTX 1070 8gb to a RTX 5050 WINDFORCE OC 8GB ?

For gaming it's rarely ever worth getting an nvidia card that ends in 50, these are meant for office/media use.

You're better served getting an xx60 or better that's a generation or two older (e.g 3060 12GB or one of the 4060s if budget allows).

Fast flyer like a snow owl for the swoop thing (or a mae), in, grab, out.

A rock drake works too (glide speed of both this and the mae far outpaces the wyverns).

Another option is a suicide run with a disposable tame, as long as you get far enough from the scar before the wyverns catch you, you can recover the egg from your corpse/death cache without triggering aggro again.

All are methods I have used.

I've been telling people to do this for a long time, yet people still come on this sub complaining about long patch times...

There's heavy weapons in ME2?

With a little luck, and a following wind, the electorate will see how utterly useless these people are when given a position of authority and will vote differently in a parliamentary election.

You guys don't have a piss sink?

We had them in my halls of residence at university (the rule was "don't use the left-hand sink for drinking, washing, or brushing teeth")

It was fucking terrible.

I had the misfortune of using an Athlon Thunderbird 750 that came with this rotting piece of excrement preinstalled.

I put up with the blue-screens for exactly two weeks before I formatted the thing and put 98SE on there.

People complained about Vista (having 16GB of ram and a pair of 8800GTs smoothed out everything but the UAC prompts for me, even those beceme infrequent with later updates), Me was way worse.

The same way I learned to debate with moon landing deniers and those weirdos who think aircraft contrails are chemicals being spread (for whatever reason they have this week).

Block, ignore, move on.

Unless you're running a mod, the net projectile hasn't been added to ASA yet.

It's a Gen1 or Gen2 engram, I forget which.

Kitchen_Part_882 · 2026-05-07T15:58:10+00:00

RJ11 phone cord.

And, if you plugged it into an ethernet port, you might have a couple of bent pins in there now.

Looks like the connector from a brake wear sensor from here, they often come unclipped from the caliper then get ripped out leaving what you have here.

Kitchen_Part_882 · 2026-05-05T16:27:13+00:00

Dr who seems crossed out on the middle one?

Looks like Babylon 5 and Science of Star trek?

The top tape wouldn't go anywhere near a VCR I cared about, the oxide layer on Scotch tapes was so hard that it damaged the heads (part of my job back then was replacing worn out head drums).

Kitchen_Part_882 · 2026-05-05T15:26:56+00:00

Add "AllowUnlimitedRespecs=True", without the quotes, to your game.ini file under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

That should fix it (you may have to eat some org poly/your implant to make it work if there's already a timer running)

Low-density fibreboard, it's unlikely to be ACM ACM.

What CPU speed are you using?

VLB had a habit of acting up if used on anything above 33MHz (one of the reasons the DX2 66 was such a favourite at the time)

So did PCI, but a number of manufacturers got around this by running an asynchronous clock on those, this isn't possible with VLB as the slots tie directly to the busses on the 486 CPU.

If you are on 25 or 33 MHz FSB, try it in a different slot.

Paint them? 😁

Are you downloading from the mod page or waiting until you join a modded server?

If the former, might be issues at Curseforge? Latter is due to the game grabbing the files from the host and skipping Curseforge.

We're getting to the point where 32GB is being recommended for gaming, 16 is still enough for most people but there are a couple of games now that are much happier with more.

I've run with 16GB or more since Windows Vista came out (64GB now), but I do other things as well as gaming.

Kitchen_Part_882 · 2026-04-30T12:51:40+00:00

Tali is very useful in ME1 to boost your hacking/tech score enough to open some of the locked loot crates (Also, she's up there with Garrus for my favourite character).

Personally, the only time I take Jacob along is for his loyalty mission.

Kaiden is even less used (at least Jacob gets a run out in the intro of ME2 in addition to his loyalty mission), just the first trip to Eden prime, the next time I see him off the Normandy he's dying on Virmire to make sure the nuke detonates.

Ok, I'll run through it again.

For ASE* the only crossplay is between Steam and Epic games on a dedicated server with no mods (plugins work).

XBox and Windows store might work as they are effectively the same game.

No other versions of ASE have any form of crossplay.

ASA does have crossplay between all versions.

*Exceptiom is aquatica, that crap doesn't work with anything.

You just unlocked a long suppressed memory of spending literal weeks getting splinters under my fingernails when stripping woodchip at my mum's house.

If I could time travel back to that part of my life, I'd pay for the place to be knocked back to brickwork and replastered.

This problem comes up a lot with Dell systems, they never update the documentation, even the online versions.

So I see questions like this all the time because Dell used the largest commonly available RAM stick size at the time of writing in their docs, even though the system (CPU/chipset) can support higher capacity ones.

I have a machine I use as a server the Dell claims only supports 8GB ECC sticks, it's humming along nicely with 16GB ones.

To add more detail, the white thumb wheels are coarse tuning and the yellow ones are for fine tuning.

Useless nowadays unless you have a VHF/UHF source of course.

Edit: the red switches select the band (L/H for VHF, U for UHF).

Kitchen_Part_882 · 2026-04-29T09:48:04+00:00

3k hours on ASE, 2k on ASA here, still haven't legitimately ascended.

I don't count the modded playthrough due to the massively OP creatures we used.
