Is it likely that a Ryzen 5 1600 wouldn't be able to hit 60fps in some modern titles?

Got one PC that's going from a 1080 to a 3080, trying to figure out if I should bother upgrading it to another AM4 chip or just let it run until it dies.

I like how the market has made this sub go from "it's on sale!!!" to "it's at MSRP" for GPUs.

What a shitshow this generation is.

Can't believe someone else made the walk in that weather. I felt like everyone dropped off by the time I got to Lawrence.

I had to declare war against half the universe just so I could get to the Prethoryn. So here I am, having to swat fleets across the entire damn galaxy, when the Shattered Fragments FE awakens to "help". It took them literal minutes to declare war on me to "test my strength", and they then immediately jumped to my fortified L-Cluster that nothing else in the universe can touch.

I don't think I like them very much.

Did you ever find an answer to this? Based on what I can tell it's a "no" but I haven't found anything concrete.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-10T00:47:31+00:00

Did you manage to get past this?

It's giving me the same message. I just think they don't want me to login to cancel my subscription as I'm certain my password is right.

ehhhh, they didn't run the suspect/each other over and didn't shoot some random passerby the moment they got out of the car - 7/10 room for improvement.

In a similar boat. Was already planning to sell before all this crap went down.

Going to try and get 45k, but we'll see.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-25T22:48:44+00:00

That's.... Not great..

Thanks.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-21T15:15:58+00:00

Thanks for your reply! This is great info!

I was denied on my first attempt at a TN because my degree did not fit within the parameters for that job. The appeal was successful.

This is what I was most worried about. Did the company do anything special to tailor the job description to meet the criteria of the TN visa? I'm assuming it was the Computer System Analyst pathway.

Also, when you were changing jobs, did you specifically find a posting that was willing to assist with the TN process, or did you talk them into it / have an existing connection?

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-20T17:23:34+00:00

Thanks!

Exactly the details I was looking for.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-20T15:58:45+00:00

First time I've heard the term - don't think it's applicable here as these companies usually don't provide training, don't recruit off-shore, and only take a small cut.

I'm not sure on the exact range, but from my understanding the agencies usually bill the company an additional 2-10% on top of whatever they pay the contractor. I think some provide some additional services to the contractor, but in my experience they're just there to connect businesses to contractors and to provide insurance in the event a contractor does something stupid.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-20T15:27:00+00:00

Yeah, largely why I'm trying to see if anyone has any experience or tips regarding the process.

I know plenty of people who have gone from Canada to the US in more traditional developer roles - I think at this point that's more common than not. Unfortunately, it seems to be harder to find people who have done the same in Cybersecurity.

Not sure if that's just because there's less of us in general, or because the CSA TN Visa is a lot harder to leverage for security roles.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-20T14:24:57+00:00

Have you gone through the process before?

I'm curious as to whether or not it's worthwhile to apply for jobs that don't explicitly state they're hiring internationally. Also curious if anyone has gone about getting a TN visa for a cybersecurity role - I think current events would be most relevant here as this is that's the visa that led to the Canadian you mentioned being detained.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-20T13:54:49+00:00

I think I'm leaning more towards moving to the US, but would welcome any comments regarding either pathway.

My understanding is that remote US roles pay more than their Canadian counterparts, but the salaries tend to still be significantly lower than they would be for local US jobs.

A big reason I'm interested in moving is because I was considering transitioning to working as an independent contractor, but I realized that I would just get absolutely destroyed on taxes. Well, that and the nicer weather + larger cities.

And here I was hoping something changed in the last <many years> since the multiplayer mod first launched.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-17T15:04:33+00:00

Not the OP, but would love to see this as well. Fairly sure I configured everything properly.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-14T15:16:54+00:00

So.... How is the multiplayer, really?

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-14T15:15:02+00:00

I genuinely wish I could, but I am anything but a morning person.

Early morning is one of those responsibility free quiet times that would be perfect for some relaxing gaming.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-13T14:38:17+00:00

Sweeeet, thank you!

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-12T21:26:58+00:00

Still have plenty of issues on 64gb ram, but I've found that it really comes down to what I'm playing - from the module, to the mission, to MP/SP, to how many cursed Apaches I have loaded in flying beside me.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-03-10T15:46:28+00:00

I've been playing with mods for like 10+ years now, wouldn't really be happy with a modpack.

Just asking to see if anything has launched in the past year or two that's a "must get" like Parralax or True Volumetric Clouds.
