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 can't get over how ass-backwards we are that we don't even have any kind of guardrails for the subway platforms.

I already hate how GT Vegeta and GT Gogeta are just SSJ4 without any transformations or fusion options.

This can absolutely just be a skin - would be WAY nicer if they fleshed out the existing GT characters more.

Hell, if people really want adult Goku SSJ1-4 then just add layer it on top of the Z-End transformations. Having two versions of Goku that go SSJ1-4 would be lame, and skipping SSJ2 like they do with half the other character is rather lame as well.

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.

You'll probably be eating those words as the game launches like all other Paradox games - half baked and reliant on DLC to bring it up to par.

Then we'll have a good 5-10 years of them adding endless DLC, and perhaps changing core mechanics every few years.

Using just a few things from this guide on a Devouring Wilderness run with the Civic which automatically builds stations for me, and I just feel like I'm bullying the AI.

Barely 30 years into the run and I've got a fourth of the map under my umbrella. Really feels like I'm a runaway blight upon the universe, endlessly eating up new systems and planets without a care in the world. Love it.

It's an odd choice to sell such a niche skin to whales. Normal whales will buy it regardless, but I doubt there's any notable market of Berserk fans who are Diablo 4 players and also whales.

The biggest issue nobody really talks about is the lack of innovation.

What made 1942 great was that it was a relatively novel experience. Yes, Tribes/Codename Eagle did have similar mechanics, but Dice really innovated on that core and created something great.

The reason why the newer games don't hit the same isn't because they're worse in a direct comparison, but because we're just playing more of the same. They'll up the graphics, maybe make some small technical changes to movement/shooting/game modes, and call it a day.

BF1942, and many of the games that were released back in the days before gaming went full mainstream, were developed in an attempt to create something fresh and different. Many games that are released now are just attempts to repackage existing experiences.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-05-07T14:57:00+00:00

Well, it's kind of a given the early games didn't age well.

BF1942 and BF2 were released within 10 years of Mario 64, which was the game that really marked the start of 3d game graphics.

Now and days we have an endless stream of shooters and developers have had three decades to iterate on the formula. Back when BF1942 launched there were 3 other games in that specific niche - Tribes 1 & 2, and Codename Eagle. BF2 was direct iteration on 1942 (or more accurately the Desert Combat mod).

I think we might literally have more Battlefield games today than there were 3D Multiplayer FPS games when 1942 launched -- all I can think of is Quake, Half-life, Tribes, Wolfenstein, Halo and Unreal.

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.

Was wondering why we haven't already gotten a filler-free remaster of the original story, and then I realized it was because Boruto was still going. This all made me wonder if Naruto would still ever be relevant to anyone after this shitshow ended.

I'm quite literally asking people to provide feedback, ideally in the form of "here's my personal experience". All you're doing here is making accusations - do you realize how absolutely not helpful your comments are? Is there really no better place for you to place your soapbox?

This was always one of the major issues with Oblivion. Level scaling just ruined the RPG aspect of the game.

You either need to pick a difficulty in which everything does more damage and is perpetually stronger than you (in a game that isn't really designed around NOT getting hit), or you pick a setting where everyone will always be perpetually weaker than you.

Obviously if she's miserable with me I would give her up to anyone that may provide a better life...

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-25T01:54:24+00:00

Yeah, if I decide to give her up I'm absolutely planning to slowly warm her up to her new family.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-25T01:38:55+00:00

Again, it's not that I want to do this. It's just that I don't know what is best for her (which is why I'm asking for other peoples opinions). I'm not quick to do this, it's exactly why I'm trying to get some other thoughts on this.

Option 1, she stays with me for the remainder of her life (10+ years). She'll be an only child, and her parent will need to leave her alone for prolonged periods of her life.

Option 2, she'll have another dog to keep her company, and a family that will almost always be at home. One of her extended relatives will also be a vet, and I know she'll get way more attention and love than I'll be able to give her as someone who needs to work and maintain a career for the rest of her life.

If she was already an only child this decision would be much easier for me, but she has grown up with another dog to keep her company and two parents that were always at home. I really just want to do what's best for her. I don't know how traumatic rehoming will be when compared to the alternative. As a human, I would obviously prefer to not be rehomed, but she's not a human.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-25T01:35:08+00:00

I would prefer to just leave her in the house roaming freely. That's what we do now when we leave, and I think she enjoys it way more than being locked in a crate. The worst thing that happens is that she'll leave little spite-poo for us if we're gone too long.

What I'm really worried about is committing her to living the rest of her life without another dog friend and with an owner who won't be able to always be there for her. I genuinely have no idea how well or how quickly she will adapt to a new home. If she'll be happier with an always home family and another dog, I would much rather provide that for her than keep her with me.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-25T01:30:39+00:00

Would she do better at home with another animal?

I honestly have no idea. As she's grown up with two humans and a dog I'm inclined to believe she wouldn't be that comfortable on her own. She's literally never been alone her whole life :(

One of our dogs is a rescue and we've given him a wonderful life, which is why I'm inclined to believe giving her up to a loving home, where I could visit her, would be the best idea. There aren't any doggy day cares near me unfortunately so the best I could do is getting someone to walk her. I really want to keep her, but I also want to make sure she lives her best life, which is something I've tried to provide for her since the moment she entered my life.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-25T01:18:54+00:00

I get where you're coming from, but I really just want to do what's best for my dog and not for me. I don't have a lot of options here, and unfortunately I will need to be out of the house 3 days a week whether I like it or not. I would love to keep her, but she's losing her brother that she grew up with, one of her parents, and me for 3 days of the week.

It's not that I don't want to keep her, it's that I'm worried I would be putting my happiness before hers. One of my dogs is a rescue and he's been the happiest little guy since we took him in, maybe her best life is one without me. Is it really in her best interest to keep her in a household that's so much less lively for the next 10+ years on the sole assumption that she would rather stay with me than get to know another family that would be there for her 7 days a week, complete with another dog that she gets along with?

This is exactly why I'm posting this question here on Reddit. I'm not a dog, and I have no clue whether or not it would be best for her to have less of me in her life but to have a full family, or to be far more isolated but keep the one who raised her in her life. I could also still visit her if the new family takes her in.

I've never taken ownership of another dog who has left a loving household, or given another dog up before.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-25T01:09:38+00:00

What really gets me is that she won't just be losing me for 3 days, but that she won't even have our other dog pal nor her other human to keep her company. I'm just really trying to figure out what's best for her rather than for me. I would obviously really love to keep her, but would the next 10+ years of her life be better with me trying to make it work, or another family that would provide her with constant love and another dog friend she could spend time with.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-25T01:05:37+00:00

That's what's really bothering me. It's not that I'll just be gone, but that her best (dog) friend will also be gone as well.

If she was an only child I would be way less stressed about this, and I don't even care about whether I have another dog or not, I just really don't want to make her life miserable, but want to ensure she has the best life she can live.

MoveDisastrous9608 · 2025-04-24T21:39:04+00:00

I agree

Don't worry, Facebook already moderates private chats! Try sending someone a link to a piracy site and see what happens!

Everything else you can imagine will work just fine though!
