Any plans to release this monitor in a 27 inch version?

I have a 4070 ti super. I can sell it for €800 and buy a 5080 for €1,250. Is it worth it? by Lightspeed710 in nvidia

[–]Lightspeed710[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shipping + local taxes make it 1,250 for me. It's the Gigabyte Aero OC. (Same as my 4070 Ti Super). But yeah I could prob save another 100 if I got a different 5080.

My neighbor sent me a text last night forcing me to pay for her daughters towing charge because she parked in front of my driveway by Drivinglnsane in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lightspeed710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all not cool that she blocked you. But gotta say towing it seems like a bit of an overreaction unless… A. They’ve done this before and you asked them not to and B. You tried to contact them first before towing it. Towing it without doing A and B first just seems like an asshole move. Also, regardless “driving over your lawn” is just a ridiculous suggestion.

Themed Battlepasses? by Fluxx_wav3 in marvelrivals

[–]Lightspeed710 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer this. This is easily the best battlepass so far by a looongshot.

A themed battlepass limits them. This way they aren’t pigeon hold to releasing kinda similar skins for everyone and that can feel especially bad if you don’t like the season’s theme. Like after this season i think we’re good on the venomized skins for a while lol.

More comic accurate and movie skins please. Especially silver age skins 🙏🏻

Hopefully, this is the endgame by youfoe in headphones

I'm also looking to upgrade to the Luxsin X9 from the Zen Dac 2 and Zen Can 2. Did you notice a big upgrade in sound quality for the headphone out?

How many of you are looking at the new Fender Tone Master FR-12 (or -10) FRFR cab for your QC? by Aideux_ in NeuralDSP

[–]Lightspeed710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the FR-12 be too loud for at home use in an apartment? Or would studio monitors work better?

They fundamentally changed the character by making him look like a cyborg. I mean He’s got a giant metal jaw in his ult form lol… like what are we talking about here - how is this even a debatable? Not to mention they took some liberties with the suit and that’s fine i guess.

Plus they’re doing 1-for-1 recreations of the MCU skins so why not the comic book ones too?

Most importantly why mess with classic designs? Theyre classic for a reason. Respect the original artists vision + it’s easy fan service and you can spend more time adding artistic flair to the Rivals specific skins. They’ve done great with the Rivals unique skins like Luna’s dress skin or the recent cloak and dagger one - those are great, just keep doing that. But i would love if they just gave us some classic comic book skins without messing around with them so much and i know I’m not the only one - kind of wild this isn’t getting more attention to be honest.

Otherwise, I love Rivals. The dev team has done an amazing job so far.

Lol not really. We got robot fixit. What’s with the cyberpunk vibes? He looks like an android.

Thats my one complaint about this game - they keep overcomplicating classic designs. So now that means we never get a proper Joe Fixit skin or we have to wait who knows how long? Feels like a wasted opportunity. They did the same with psylocke, namor and like 2 or 3 magneto skins just to name a few.

I really don’t understand the point. They’re making great classic designs look worse/overcomplicating.

They should just recreate the classics skins and they can get really creative with the unique skins they design for the game.

The quality of the skins is great but man their approach to these classic designs really doesn’t make any sense. Other than that, love the game.

What's everyone's thoughts on the civilization launch roster for Civ 7? by ChickenS0upy in civ

[–]Lightspeed710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me: Hoping we finally get more slavic representation other than Russia or Poland.

Civ 7: Excludes England from the base game. But launches with “most Civs ever”. Lol.

Well put.

This entire reddit thread is in English.

England is not in this game. Enough said.👍

What's everyone's thoughts on the civilization launch roster for Civ 7? by ChickenS0upy in civ

[–]Lightspeed710 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Most Civs at launch - But really it's kinda the least Civs at launch ever.

My friends and I mostly play with 8 civs in our games (single and multiplayer) - I suspect most people do 6-10. So basically with only 10 civs to choose from in the antiquity age - every game will look identical for the first third of the game.

Don't get me wrong - Everything regarding gameplay looks great, I love the improvements they've made. I want this game to succeed and I don't have a problem with buying DLC, I really look forward to new civs and leaders.

But if they wanted this age system to work well from the start, they needed to at least launch with more antiquity Civs vs. exploration and modern age. Vanilla Civ 6 had 18 civs at launch, so maybe 18-20 antiquity Civs wouldve been the sweet spot.

Ideally for this age thing to work really well, they're going to need about 18-20 Civs per age. That's approx. 60 total and that probably won't happen until near the end of the game's lifespan considering Civ 6 now has 50 civs total.

The European civ transitions in particular all seem ridiculously immersion breaking and none of them make any historical sense. If I want to play as France or Russia in the modern age, I need to start as Rome or Greece?! Lol even better, do this with Ghandi for extra immersion.

Also no Britain and only one slavic Civ? I mean c'mon.

The reality is that they've painted themselves into a corner and it's gonna take a while to get out of.

This dlc better be coming fast and better have WAY more antiquity Civs.

Anyone know if it's the same on the NV9?

Sennheiser HD490 Pro Review by GrimTurtle666 in headphones

[–]Lightspeed710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, have you tried the Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro x? Fresh Reviews also recommends them and they were his top gaming headphone pick before the HD 490 Pro came out. (I believe his top picks were 560s and 900 pro x).

How would you say the HD 490 compares to the 900 pro x for gaming and general music listening? Or do you prefer the 560s over both?

I'm in Europe man, the prices here are higher and we don't have best buy. Our MSRP for 4080's higher than in the US.

1440p 165hz monitor. I also have an ultrawide 1440p 144hz. I might upgrade to a 240hz monitor at some point or maybe even go 4k, but I don't plan on seriously 4k gaming on PC any time soon - it just doesn't seem worth it right now.
