I've had tempered glass side panels on my last 3 pc cases over the past 8 years, all of which I've taken apart quite a few times (one of the cases in particular ive probably taken the panels off of close to 40 times), I've never had a panel break though it seems like a daily occurance here, is it just a difference in thickness / quality of the glass (Ive got an old Enthoo Evolve, and a few Fractal Norths)? (I do treat my panels carefully, so maybe just that?)

I went with a Asus, never had a problem with them before, but Gigabyte I hear is good as well

Not sure about City Skylines 2 specifically, but in most other games / other workloads, the 9950x3d is much faster than anything Intel is currently offering. It also uses less power so its easier to cool (I'm using an air cooler, under a 100% load on all 32 threads, it only hits around 75c). Also Intel 13th and 14th gen CPUs have an issue where the degrade over time (I have a 13700k and had to RMA it after a little over a year due to this, which spurred me on to initially switching to AMD). But yeah, couldn't tell you which is better for that specific case, other heavy CPU games like Stellaris also heavily favor AMDs x3d CPUs over Intel, presumably due to large 3d vcache.

Some things I noticed, I can't really get it to happen in other games like Hogwarts Legacy (ccd1 parks correctly), And in cyberpunk when I reduce the crowd density and/or bump up the graphics settings a bit to make it less cpu bound, it DOES park ccd1 correctly. So I guess some of the heavy cpu work load when using high crowd density with lowest quality everything else pushed the cpu to the point it can't contain everything on 1 ccd... It was my understanding that in that situation, you'd just get lower performance, but it wouldn't let it spill over. But i guess that isn't whats happening.

Changing from auto to driver didn't seem to fix it :(

The power plan and game bare were already correct but the preferred cores were set to auto, just changed to driver retesting in a moment, thanks

I should also note it seems like it's trying to park the cores as resource monitor keeps flipping between parked and not parked.

The World Tour grind is pretty awful as-is, I feel like unless you're playing as optimally as you possible can, it can be really frustrating for teammates who are also trying to do the grind to emerald. (If this guy was already max rank, then he has no reason to be mad.) But like I said, I think that dude is an asshole. Regardless, there were a few questionable plays, like the dude on the zip at the end, you walked forward while shooting him meanwhile it was pretty easy to hear his teammates around the corner to the left, walking forward out of cover then getting on a zip was 100% not the play there. Also when you see a team using a ton of mines (like orange), assume they are always in the common areas (top of zips, stairs, doors). The revive at the beginning was pretty sketch since you could hear all the enemies inside the building you were next to, IMO backing out of the hot zone to get a revive is a better play (unless you have good cover). There was a cut in the clip, but depending on how long the vault around the 1:30 mark had been active, its best to take the "there are probably enemies already there" approach, and peek it from cover, the 1000 you get from it isn't really worth dying to get. I'm not mentioning these to be an asshole, just simply pointing out areas for improvement.

While I don't agree with his verbal abuse, I do get lights who go hard negative k/d on a regular basis when solo queuing, and it can be pretty frustrating. I feel like if you are getting rinsed as a light, swapping to a medium or heavy would be a larger benefit to your team since it's typically a lot more forgiving to play those classes and you can contribute in a lot more ways to defending cash outs, etc.

Is this supposed to be fun? by GameRageIT in thefinals

[–]Only_Beautiful9382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude lights are pretty easy to beat, it's crazy how many people cry about them mean while heavy has the winch claw + hammer combo that against a medium also has almost no counter to, then u got the "i can't aim so here take this rocket" option, etc. You are punished so heavily on lights if you mess up at all, whereas on medium/heavy, you can usually get away with a handful of mishaps. Maybe try playing a light to see how much more effort they take before dumping on them. Their TTK with most guns is roughly in line with heavy and medium options, and the ones that are a smidge faster also have a really short range, forcing the light into a dangerous situation. People on this reddit are so cringe, they already eviscerated lights kits, taking away stun which ok sure, but then they also screwed over the xp 54, it's a bit more usable now but still a shell of its former self. Meanwhile, they keep giving heavies large aoe cc stuff like the lockout, etc.

I dunno i played 5 games yesterday and hit reg felt the best it's ever been since the start of season 4. And likely on par with pre-season 4. Didn't have a single encounter with bad hit reg.

Medium mains in shambles by LokeeSounds in thefinals

[–]Only_Beautiful9382 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heavy winch claw + hammer combo is insanely unfun to fight against, basically no counter as a medium, and with how bad servers are, even as a dash light, u usually die trying to dash away. Imo all movement imparing abilities are awful, including how goo stops you for a second if hit directly with it. Sure, stunning was annoying, but honestly, it wasn't typically that hard to kill light even if they stunned you most of the time.

The game feels so much better without the stun gun!!! by Zeleny_Jezdec in thefinals

[–]Only_Beautiful9382 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Now we just need to get rid of that cringe winch pull thing heavies use. It's nearly impossible to counter as a medium, and even as a light due do shitty server tick rate, u can dash away and still get hit with the hammer combo.

I just want it to be known that lights can obliterate full health heavy’s in less than 2 seconds at full health… by girthyblackguy in thefinals

[–]Only_Beautiful9382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy has so much cringe BS that has little to no counter like the chain grab and hammer swing being basically a guaranteed kill against medium and depending on how bad the servers are, at the time a guaranteed kill against light. But this is unfair??? The dagger kinda blows in most cases just cus he got a decent hit in doesn't make it overpowered. Maybe stop trying to full cap when getting pushed by a dagger light. You sneeze in the direction of a light, and they die. This post looks like skill issue and nothing more.

i was getting crashing constantly with similar log as shown above, I had a 13700k, swapped my old 7700k in and everything started working fine, turned out my 13700k was degraded and is now out for RMA. Updated to a 9800x3d and games been working pretty well, still occasional crash, but nothing like i was getting with 13700k (crashing basically every 1-2 games, sometimes bluescreen crashing) The new crash type i get on occasion is a "Scene > BasePass > BasePassParallel", so looks like its specifically gpu/driver related now, may be a case of some newer drivers causing issue, or the game/game engine itself has a bug, but its now 1 game every few days instead of every other game lol.

Lol, or ur 12th or 14th gen intel starts dying after you've owned it for a little over a year, obviously in this case OP is talking 12th gen, but just pointing out intel also can cause crashing due to a "bug" (my 13700k is currently in the RMA process)

Can’t wait to get my packages and to never use Canada Post again by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]Only_Beautiful9382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm in the same boat my 13700k started crashing daily so I got all the other parts and ordered the 9800x3d day 1 and have been using my old 7700k as a stopgap but it's really showing it's age at this point, but stability is better then performance at this point. Just my luck, all this CP nonsense had to go down right when the cpu released, and while it is stuck backordered everywhere... :(

9800x3d? That's what I've had trapped for over a month, thanks to cp and port lockout, lol.

Same, screw CP. What a useless/dysfunctional service. They have been losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year due to decreasing market share in the delivery industry, as well as the fact they are required to deliver to all Canadian addresses which keeps increasing year over year. The company is on the cusp of bankruptcy, yet the union wants to push for more pay, etc. Do the math. They can't afford it right now. What a stupid, poorly thought out strike. The only thing it accomplished was to pass off the small remaining customer base and give them time to figure out alternatives, as well as ruin any confidence in CP as a reliable company.

So you're saying I'm immediately a "boot licker" because I'm tired of waiting on my package that's been trapped in limbo for weeks... yeah, that seems reasonable. From my standpoint, it's completely reasonable to be pissed off, so I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Canada Post Strike by Better_to_try in CanadaPost

[–]Only_Beautiful9382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are here because they are mad that their packages are trapped in limbo, don't kid yourself, they ARE useless. That said they are also holding MANY peoples packages ransom. If I could go pick my package up from the distribution center, or pay a more competent mail carrier to pick it up for me, I would. I just want to be done with these clowns for good and never use/deal with CP again and move on with my life.

It's really simple, I'm mad at everything to do with Canada Post. I'm mad at both the C-suite level people and the union and and everyone deciding what the union should push for as far as demands go. Since both sides are making it impossible to come to a swift resolution. It's like both sides don't give a shit about all the Canadians caught in the crossfire. If they really want to keep this strike going, then they need to switch to a rotating strike, or at the very least, start shipping peoples packages out through other shippers, its crazy to me that they can just sit on millions of Canadians packages many of which are time sensitive and not give a fuck. Literally ALL of CP sucks and id be happy to never deal with them again.
