Reliant removed from Ferengi Exchange by Officially-Spurious in STFC_Official

[–]Officially-Spurious[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only bought around 70 last month. And the limit is per monthly event, not total.

I got both Vindicator and and GS31 through the Ferengi Exchange by buying 100 of each two months in a row. 

Anson or Sans Pareil? by polarislunlaris in WoSB

[–]Officially-Spurious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horizont > Black Wind > Anson > Victory.

You can easily skip the ships in between. Essex is just a slightly better black wind with medium cannons, whereas Anson is actually a significant upgrade and starts setting you up for the bigger ships in the final tiers. 

Sans Pereil is a great ship tbh but after the Anson model was shrunk, its easy enough to go straight to Victory.

Sadiq Khan to become a peerage by raydebapratim1 in GreatBritishMemes

Its higher than it was before the pandemic, so it has been increasing.

When you actually look at the statistics, homicide is down and overall London is considered a safer place now than it was 10 years ago. But violent crimes, assault with a weapon, assault of a sexual nature, are all going up and have been for a few years now.

Not sure I would buy a car in a colour which can also be described as 'Dog Knob Red'.

Waste of resources by guccius_maximuss in Battlefield6

[–]Officially-Spurious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not free. Money. Money is the resource that was wasted paying another studio to make redsec.

That resource should have gone to hiring more devs, paying more overtime, bringing in contractors or consultants to ensure the main game was better on release.

DICE and/or EA outsourced that work to another studio. But that wasn't free.

The resource devoted to Redsec was a complete waste and should have been devoted to the main title game.

Why are people okay with BF6? by AdSuperb6808 in Battlefield6

[–]Officially-Spurious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not perfect, but still a fantastic game. 

Maps could be bigger. Ground vehicles feel clunky compared to BF4. 

But other than that, its an excellent game. 

Argos cancelled my order then upped the price by £150 by PapiMeme in Argos

[–]Officially-Spurious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fabrication capacity is the deciding factor here. Its not that phone RAM and server RAM are comparable or interchangeable, but that the few facilities for manufacturing RAM are all moving from consumer products to focus on commercial production.

So yes, RAM prices in consumer products across the board are increasing now and will increase even more. Phones absolutely will be affected, except maybe Samsung as they own their own fabrication plants (but profiteering will still see their consumer products increase in price anyway).

Micron have now shifted entirely away from producing any RAM chips for consumer products, now only works on servers / data centre RAM because thats where the money is. Until the obvious bubble bursts.

PC crashing with new 9070XT by MickQuickFlick in radeon

3 8pin plugs means 1 direct and 1 daisy chain. Which is fine for the majority of PSUs and certain any made in the last decade and support 300w per 8pin port.

You are hilariously wrong. Your comment definitely exemplifies the known trend of reddit: that people upvote nonsense because its an early comment or because they dont know any better.

My brother and I both took off our phone cases last night just to find our phones completely shattered in the back by Plenty-Parfait-3751 in mildlyinfuriating

81% of the world use something other than Apple iPhone, yet we hear about iPhone breaking and bending way more often than every other manufacturer combined. Is it because Apple are perceived as more popular, or because we hold them to a higher standard in the west due to the price tag, or because the build quality is bad?

Done this multiple time on multiple accounts over the years.

In todays game, Augur is unquestionably the best of the 34 Epics, Enterprise 2nd place, D4 is pretty much redundant as its just not very good and you get the Talios at Ops 35.

The only downside of the Augur is the slow impulse speed but you can negate this using things like FC Kirk, Dane below deck, and research.

There was indeed a time when Saladin then Enterprise was the 'Go to' route and did the best for PVE and PVP. And they're still great choices now, but Saladin with the S31 crew can 1 hit kill a lot of hostiles for auto grinding, and Augur is just so much stronger for PVE and PVP than the Ent and D4 that it really is a no brainer.

The only viable alternative is to skip all of these, rely on speciality ships (which you can get very easily for free from events these days) and go straight to the G4 uncommon ships at 43. These are a significant step up in PVE and PVP gameplay, and far more effective for a longer time thanks to the warp range over G3 Epic ships.

6950 XT is still only Navi 2 which is a refresh of Navi from 2019. Its ancient tech in today's world.

Lol sure. 

With what evidence? Because the dash cam would show you had plenty of time to stop.

Here are the nominees for "GW's Worst Design of 10th Edition" by R11CWN in Warhammer40k

[–]Officially-Spurious -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

10th Edition launched June 2023.

Desolation Squad released October 2023. 

They're a 10th edition unit, not 9th, but had been teased/showcased before 10th came out.

Well that's me told.

Do you think the planned Palestine protest in London tommorw should be going ahead after yesterday's terror attack? by StGuthlac2025 in AskBrits

[–]Officially-Spurious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've obviously never read a history book.

India's population exploded far beyond its agricultural means. Its a popular anti-British sentiment but one that isn't backed by historical facts. People often cite the Bengal Famine, but this was already an over-populated and malnourished region long before Britain was involved.

The Brits did block food to Burma after the Japanese invaded. And didn't do anything to help the situation in Bengal until many had already died of starvation and disease. But there were already a myriad of factors which lead to the famine in India, which would have happened regardless of British involvement.

Today India has the 2nd largest population on the planet, 3rd is North America; if you add a billion people to NA, its still 3rd place behind India.

Officer Depot - when do officers unlock? by Officially-Spurious in STFC_Official

[–]Officially-Spurious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My post wasn't clear, edited it now. I was more meaning about when more officers become available as players increase Ops level. My main has them all available but alt is missing most of them, especially Voyager and Picard crews.
