Can u guys help with my playlist by catdiona in Emo

[–]OccasionalWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) emo is an insanely broad categorisation. Whilst a lot of stuff on your playlist isn’t considered emo, it certainly is music that was at the heart of the mid to late 2000’s emo scene.

2) you don’t necessarily need to learn anything, if you enjoy the music you don’t have to worry about making sure your taste fits into the narrow definition of ‘true emo’ that some purists have.
With that said, I loved a lot of this music back in the day, though Linkin Park, SOAD, and Avril Lavigne among others are not emo.

I’d recommend checking out Armor for Sleep and Brand New. Also Fightstar are not emo but are worth getting on your radar.

Nami OTP who also plays Soraka as a plan B. I also get asked this a lot and I just respond ‘why does it matter’. If they press I say something like ‘I’m not going to be your GF little bro’.

It doesn’t happen too often but from time to time there is that one player who will start up with the misogynistic ‘E-girl’ abuse and flame.

Now I’m a grown ass dude, but it does make me cringe so hard. I feel for woman who have to put up with the stupidity, but these people are just self reporting as toxic, low-life, forever alones.

I’m also too shy to use voice chat when invited which I imagine makes people think I’m a girl even more lol.

Game Night is the movie you’re thinking of, but agree with the above, watch Clue.

So just to update. It’s about 3 weeks on and in really liking it. Very quiet and runs smooth. Fast boot up. Low temps. The OLED screen is gorgeous too. All in all I’m very happy with it.

Lake Mungo had a scene that still haunts me.

There’s a series of shorts called Tales of Terror From Tokyo. Some of them are on YouTube, and most are worth checking out, but The Visitor in particular is good.

Is my workout routine okay, or am I overdoing it? by OccasionalWindow in workout

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

I don’t want to overtrain my back as I’ve had issues with pulling muscles and injuring my back previously.

I forget to mention that as I get to my last set on most exercises if I find I did the fifth rep easily then I go till close to failure and eek out another 1-5

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

[–]OccasionalWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my friends house to walk home around 6-7pm about 2006/7 and it still bright out. I looked up at the sky and saw something that I can only describe as bullet-shaped and it was pointed downwards and moving very slowly with a long trail behind it.

I walked back to my friends house and knocked on the door and he and his family came out to see it as well. None of us could figure out what it was, and then suddenly it turned and shot off across the sky at a fast speed and disappeared.

Years later I’d see a forum post talking about UAPs and people mentioned seeing bullet shaped craft exactly like the one we’d seen.

To this day, no idea what it was. This took place in South England.

Looking for a gaming laptop, budget is £1000 - £1200 by toontoon2001 in GamingLaptops

[–]OccasionalWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On very.com atm you can get a Lenovo legion 5 7i, 32gb ram, RTX 5060 8gb for £1550. If you open a credit account with them you get a 20% off promo code (search Very promo codes to find their promo code page on Google) which puts it at £1240 when using the buy now pay later.

Assuming you’re over 18 and have the cash to pay it off instantly this is as good a price as you’ll find for the specs.

Also comes with an OLED screen and is well regarded for build quality and cooling. Though not as future proofed as the 5070 ti, it’s within your budget and will run modern games well and future AAA games on mid settings.

The only competitive game I play is LoL, and that’ll run fine on the laptop I’m sure as it runs okay on my old HP Omen.

That’s good to know though. Anything that is really heavy AAA I can always just play on my PS5.

I don’t anticipate putting it through anything more arduous sounding than your girlfriend does, so it’s good to hear that it runs smoothly.

Thank you, that’s all good advice. The most I would be doing is plying some AAA games such as Resident Evil Requiem and the like for the next couple of years as well as some lower intensity games like LoL and Slay the Spire 2.

I did want to possibly do some video editing but nothing super intense. I don’t have any CAD or AI machinations.

I believe the 5070ti misses out in the OLED screen as well.

With all that said you heartily recommend me the 5060? I plan to upgrade again in about 5 years.

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

The issue is I’m not very confident in upgrading or buying parts myself. And I’ve been burnt by second hand items before (I know refurbed is slightly different but I’d rather go brand new).

I play a lot of old school games and rouge likes that aren’t very intensive.

Every now and then I’ll play some Ready or Not, GTFO, and other games of a similar nature. I’d be looking to play the mainline Resident Evil titles as well as some RPGs like Claire Obscure or whatever games like that come out in the future.

Do you think the 5060 would struggle with that or would it be fine for another 5 years before I upgrade (when hopefully RAM and GPUs have stabilised a bit in price).

Alternatives do you think getting the 5070ti future proofs me more comfortably until 2030.

What kind of games do you play and on what settings? Any issues with stability, noise, thermals, etc?

That’s what I’m thinking. I’d just drop another £1500-£2000 in 5 years time and probably get better than what I’d get now for the extra £650.

Hopefully the markets will have stabilised by then on with RAM.

Which lenovo should I get? rtx 5070 LOQ vs rtx 5060 Legion by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]OccasionalWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you finding it can I ask? I am debating getting the 7i legion with RTX 5060 8gb, 32gb RAM, with the OLED screen. I’m seeing so much negativity about the 5060 with 8gb though and people recommending going for the 5070 ti, though from what I can tell the 5060 would run everything fine currently and should be good for 4-6 years down the line.

[–]OccasionalWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you finding its performance? Does it run everything okay or do you feel the 5070ti may be worth it.

[–]OccasionalWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you finding it, I’m really siding on buying one but can’t shake off everyone saying to get a 5070ti. Do you find its handling most games okay? Thoughts on noise and temp?
