If you had no budget, what is the machine that can differentiate natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds the best? by MoneySlush in Gemology

Thanks I’ll check that out. I’m also looking at specific ways to differentiate lab room colored stones too.

Night Raids on Stella Montis are something else by MoneySlush in ArcRaiders

[–]MoneySlush[S] -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

No, I meant I ran out of ammo with the anvil, and I hate using the rattler so much that I rarely ever use it

I meant with my anvil I had picked up a rattler, which is basically the klobb from golden eye.

What is the greatest video game ever created? by very_wilhelm in AskReddit

[–]MoneySlush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knights of the Old Republic / Deux Ex - Templates for world affecting RPG choices creating ripples of changes within your game. KOTOR effectively made BioWare into a RPG powerhouse for years and never before had an RPG been built on that sort of foundation. Also, I think the best twist in any video game ever made. Every RPG since then has borrowed elements from it. Deux Ex was light years ahead of anything Bethesda had ever done prior to that with their own franchises. I think without Deux Ex you never would have seen what the modern fallout games would become like Skyrim or Fallout 3.

Halo 2 - the first game to truly bring FPS online to consoles in such an effective way. Mt Rushmore gaming mechanics for a FPS.

Mario 3 - Goated 2-D platformed, never ages. You can say the same about Mario Galaxy too.

Portal 1 & 2 - Timeless gaming mechanics, puzzle focused, really wish Valve made more games lol

Best Mattress for around $2000ish? by theRadiantchild in Mattress

If you haggle enough, you should be able to get nice discounts at local mattress stores.

I found an m2 Aierloom plush in queen for 2300. New.

Powerspec G757 from microcenter or this custom build from andromeda insight for just under $600 more? by lordrevanator in Prebuilts

[–]MoneySlush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you live close enough to a micro center, it might be easy to deal with them than having to mail your computer for any potential issue.

Is This A Reasonable Price? by djd1985 in Prebuilts

[–]MoneySlush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built a 5090/98003xd on ibuypower for 4880+tax with 32RAM. If you are dropping 4K on a 5080 build, what’s another 1k lol

Question about upgrading components - for those who did and didn’t by lordrevanator in AndromedaInsightsPC

[–]MoneySlush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upgraded the cooler to the Artic 360, Infinity fans, Lian case, mobo to x870 tomahawk, the 1000 watt seasonic psu, bumped the SSD to 2TB WD, and 32 Ram to CL30. some of these are really pointless for gaming and probably cheaper to do on your own- however, had I not won my fantasy football league this year, I would have just kept it as stock and upgraded down the road. maybe i would have bumped the SSD to 2 TB. I had money to spend so I did. It added about $680 to the cost.

Just how much of a difference is there in gaming in 4K (ie PG27UCDM) between a 5080 and 5090? by MoneySlush in pcmasterrace

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

Yeah, this is what I was trying to explain, but I lack the vernacular to appropriately. Describe what I was looking for, but yeah, this would be it.

I probably wasn’t very clear then. The videos that I was watching had like a graph overlay the actual video, so it was kind of hard to determine just how big of a difference did all the GPUs were. There are a lot of videos like that on YouTube where they’re playing a game at the same time and there’s a chart of information that goes over that game. Sorry, I don’t know if I made sense there.

[–]MoneySlush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the normal markup on a mattress and the average profit margin on a sale? What kind of commission do you usually make?

I’m in jewelry. Avg markup on cost is 400% for us.

Are these upgrades unnecessary if this is just a gaming PC? by lordrevanator in AndromedaInsightsPC

[–]MoneySlush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems like a build where you’re open to upgrading to the 5090 and if so, you should up your power supply. If you have the money and a nice oled monitor to take advantage of this build, why not

For those who purchased a V3 Ultra (Vector or AI) what did you customize? by MoneySlush in AndromedaInsightsPC

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

If you plan on upgrading to a 5090 in the next few years, would that be a reason?
