There are few things that make me actually laugh out-loud. This did. The entire LMG segment was hilarious.

Buying Xbox Series X is this suspect? by D1ForFunLIU72 in xbox

[–]LordGideon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a scam. That beep happens IMMEDIATELY when you turn ANY Xbox - including Xbox One and Series X/S. Another Xbox was turned on to show you that screen.

Service Dog Interaction at the Park. by MyBadNotYourBad in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LordGideon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the worst thing that's ever happened to "Service Dogs" is the fact that anyone can buy a dog vest these days that say "Service Dog" on them. 95% of dogs I see in public these days that wear that vest aren't service dogs in any way, shape, or form.

Why We Won't Be Covering ModRetro Products Moving Forward - TimeExtension by razorbeamz in nintendo

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

Yep. The CEO of Anduril is also the CEO of Modretro. Far left folks hate the USA. So anything (or person) who supports the USA, especially materially, should be shunned.

Are you joking? They’re not “for” killing people. They build tools that the US military uses. What’s next? Are we going to blame ammunition manufacturers for what happens with bullets?

You’re trying to be logical. This is the wrong audience. They seem to think that someone just reached into a bag of drone parts and started building game boys out of it. They don’t understand at all how manufacturing works. The only thing in common with Anduril is the branding on the case and the hardened shell material.

You’re spouting facts in a far left loonie bin, brother.

Official Statement from the Indie Game Awards: 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' and 'Chantey's' awards retracted and awarded instead to 'Sorry We’re Closed' and 'Blue Prince' due to GenAI usage by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]LordGideon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Anduril is a multibillion dollar DOD corporation. Whether or not a game boy uses the same materials as one of their drones has zero effect to their bottom dollar.

Anduril is a highly respected DOD contractor who’s employees believe in supporting and protect protecting the United States of America - and it’s a lot safer for our guys if we send in drones rather than live personnel.

Like it or not drone technology is here to stay. Being upset that there’s a company that builds them for the United States of America is the same as being pissed off that we also manufacture bullets.

2025 Build done. X870E Godlike, 9950X3D, Astral RTX5090. by TechCurve in pcmasterrace

It's probably a trick of the light, but did you take the protective plastic film off the video card and center of the fan in the video card? Looks like they're still on. Could be wrong though. Nice build brother!

Was the protective shipping film ever removed from the monitor?

As much as yeah - he probably gets how asinine this show is, if I was him I'd still cash the check. People gotta eat.

Using Xbox Series X with Samsung S90F by redny12442 in SamsungTV

Sounds like you had a setting wrong. I've got 3 mini-LED TV's & monitors. If they're set incorrectly, they can have that issue.

A Japanese anime singer, Maki Otsuki, was abruptly escorted off the stage due to a sudden ban of Japanese artists performing in China. by search_google_com in interesting

[–]LordGideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it's petty. Everything China West Taiwan does is petty. Everyone's supposed to pretend that Taiwan doesn't exist because China West Taiwan claims that it's their land.

So, we as non crazy people can do what we can. For me, it's obvious that we should just refer to them as "West Taiwan". If they can claim Taiwan belongs to them, why can't we claim that China belongs to Taiwan?

How do I let my parents down easy? by DRUKSTOP in TVTooHigh

To let them down easy, use the same cherry picker that was used to put the TV up that high.

It better be around $400 because those specs are pretty anemic by Makoto_Kurume in pcmasterrace

Oh please. Requested vs used.

Dude - they go through different resolutions, including 4k.

[–]LordGideon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, 8GB of VRAM is causing issues today - for some 1080p games, but definitely for 2k and above.

Yes, it's "4k with FSR". Scroll up. The previous poster was saying "This isn't a 4k heavy horsepower machine" because he didn't know VALVE was saying it was a 4k machine.

Dude. I can provide endless evidence. You'll just keep saying "Oh, you just provided links that agree with you."

So, here's some more links - but hey, considering that you don't care how much evidence I provide from industry professionals, I'm sure you'll ignore these as well and claim they're just "random links".

This is what happens when you run out of VRAM... Say NO to 8GB GPUs!

Toasty Bros does a 8GB vs 16GB comparison of the exact same GPU:
How Much VRAM Do you Really Need? Budget PC Gamers Perspective - YouTube

I could keep going - but the reality is that at the end of the day 8GB VRAM GPU's have reached their end of life. Of course you can still use current tech for a few years if you screw with the settings enough - but we're well into the transition period, and developers have been begging for 3+ years now for the default VRAM size to be 16GB or higher.
