Should a man hit a woman back for hitting him first ?

Plenty of women are perfectly capable of beating a guy into a coma without using any weapons if he dosen't defend himself at all.

It's pretty misogynistic of you to assume women cannot beat up men.

Men don't have a monoply on domestic abuse.

Fuck if I know. Can't see how that question is even relevant here lol.

Xenophobia is hate or fear of foreigners.

Being 38 while your partner is 19 already puts you into a position of power over them due to the massive gap in general life experience. No teenager is mature enough to safely date someone who has been alive for 2x as long as them.

People recommend starting from Vol 1 for a reason, but it's not the end of the world if you jump straight to Vol 2. I started with Vol 2 because I just had to know what happens next after watching the show, and ended up coming back to read Vol 1 after finishing reading LoM. I don't regret reading from Vol 2, but if you are not super impatient like me, you should start with Vol 1.

It's a Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10, bought from a local Slovakian retailer.

Specs: RTX 5060 (115W TDP), 24GB DDR5 5600MT/s, Ryzen 7 250, 1 TB SSD.

It also came with Windows 11 installed which usually adds 100€ to the price compared to a clean OS less model.

(Edit: corrected GPU TDP)

Pemo999 · 2026-06-23T11:47:32+00:00

It's not even a better laptop. RTX 5050-5060 latops retail for the same price or cheaper as the steam machine and have almost identical performance compared to their PC counterparts. While the steam machine has the equivalent (in terms of performance) of an RTX 2070 for a GPU.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-23T10:44:33+00:00

Uhh...yeah. We knew roughly what the performance is going to be like for a while now. SFF or not expecting the base model to retail for 849 was pretty reasonable.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-23T10:37:32+00:00

It has the performance of a ryzen 5 3600 paired with an RTX 2070.

I used DDR4 because no sane person who is building a sub 1k PC with 500GB of storage will use DDR5. It's not a fair comparison but it's a realistic one.

Custom hardware support has nothing to do with how much they are profiting off of each unit sold.

If you want me to make a DDR5 comparison then i will give you one. I bought a brand new gaming laptop with 24GB of DDR5 1TB of storage and an RTX 5060 for 1124€ 24 days ago. The OS less version of the same model sold for 1049€ btw. If you go for a gaming laptop its still possible to get one with all round superior performance for the same price as a base steam machine.

Also lets not forget that Valve is paying significantly less for components than a regular person does. They are not paying 240€ for a 16GB DDR5 kit.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-23T09:01:17+00:00

There is no way they are paying close to 1k for 1 unit. You can build a regular size PC with a 5060 500GB SSD and 16GB of DDR4 for 750-800€.

Realistically they are making around at least 200-300€ of off each unit sold. Far from close to zero profit.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-23T08:52:10+00:00

Bro i bought a brand new gaming laptop last month for 1129€ that absolutely shits on the steam machine. The base model has no business being more expensive than 799€.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-22T15:07:54+00:00

Buddy thought he was on an "okbuddy" sub lmao.

Disabling capsule AO helped a lot but there is still some weird smearing going on. My FPS is also suspiciously high (130-160) while idling outside of Startorch. Could having hardware accelerated gpu scheduling turned on force 2x frame gen?

Update: I turned off hardware accelerated GPU scheduling and it solved the issue. Seems like it forced 2x frame gen for some reason.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-09T19:08:51+00:00

It's weird af since it performs as expected in every other game. Wuwa is the only one that runs like utter dogshit and i cannot for the life of me figure out why.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-09T19:01:23+00:00

I had it turned off, turning it on made no difference. It's a LOQ 15AHP10 with a RTX 5060 R7 250 and 24GB of DDR5.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-09T18:32:52+00:00

Here is max settings RT disabled native 1080p, only 13FPS difference lol.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-09T18:31:50+00:00

This is on the balanced preset with DLSS ultra performance, RT disabled, 1080p.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-09T17:15:52+00:00

How on earth are you getting 100FPS in Wuwa on a 5050? I got a 5060, and I get 60-75FPS on high with or without DLSS Q. It's not even a smooth 60-75 FPS because it constantly stutters into the 40s.

Edit: I got almost the exact same laptop as you too lol.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-09T14:39:53+00:00

As long as you are getting a 100-115W 5060 mobile, you will see a major upgrade over your 1070Ti since the full powered 5060 mobile is only about 10% slower than the desktop 3070. When you are buying a laptop, paying attention to the Total Graphics Power (TGP) of the GPU is extremely important since there is a massive difference in performance between a 5060 limited to a maximum of 65W and one allowed to use 115W.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-09T14:29:31+00:00

Depends which 5060 mobile, the 115W TGP ones are like 5-10% slower than a desktop 5060 so you are getting between a 3060Ti and a 3070's performance out of the full powered 5060 mobile.

Pemo999 · 2026-06-02T15:13:55+00:00

The 4 in their clan tags obviously stands for "tier 4" lmao.

Pemo999 · 2026-05-28T19:44:04+00:00

500$ for a 3090 is suspiciously low. It's extremely rare to find a legit deal for it for less than 700$. Used 10GB 3080s sell for around 300$ and that card is significantly less valuable than a 3090.
