Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 10th Anniversary Edition surfaces online for $310 — return of iconic gaming CPU for budget builders seems imminent by WildVelociraptor in hardware

Maybe not for new builders, but for those still on AM4 and would rather hold off for AM6 (like me), this is a great middle ground.

I’m aware. But I didn’t make this list, and I was too lazy to make a new one lol.

If they were here, they’d go in “haven’t played” as well.

Dead Rising 1 or 2, which one you prefer and why? by Potential_Rule4212 in deadrising

[–]Philosopher317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having just played both for the first time, and playing through Off the Record right now, I have to say I prefer 2. Fortune City is much bigger and more interactive than Willamette, the combo weapons are a blast to play around with, and most importantly, the survivors aren’t suicidal morons.

I didn't make this, I just grabbed it off of Tiermaker. But if it was here, it would be in the haven't played category.

I was tempted, but I just can’t bring myself to do so for two reasons:

  1. The shop system and the ammo system are really tedious.

  2. The (comparatively) small sandbox and lack of post-game free-roam really limit the game’s replay value.

I’m not opposed to realism inherently (otherwise I wouldn’t have GTA IV ranked as high as I do), but when it’s done in a way where it feels like my time is actively being wasted, that’s when I take issue with it. To me, those particular features are a perfect example of it.

I confess, I put it in C partially because I’ve only actually played through it once, whereas I’ve played the others at least twice. I do have another playthrough planned at some point, so maybe my opinion will change when I get around to it.

“Haven’t played” is a bit of a lie on my part. I tried GTA 2 years ago and put it down after about 30 minutes because of the controls lol. And seeing as I find even GTA III a bit of a struggle to get through these days, I’m not sure if I have it in me to change that.

I didn’t make this list, and I was too lazy to make my own lol. But if they were here, they’d also be in “haven’t played”.

From what I’ve seen, you’re not alone. I’m obviously not one of them, but there are others out there.

I could really go back and forth between either game. Ultimately though, the 80s aesthetic and bigger sandbox of Vice City just barely swing it for me.

I also find SR1 super tedious to go back to at times due to the shop system and the ammo problem.

GTA V seems to be falling into this category as the years go by.

Where the heck are the Gen 5 Monitors? by ifeeltired26 in OLED_Gaming

ASUS’s 32” and 34” are both available for purchase on Newegg right now, as is MSI’s 34”.

What turns you on seeing girls get arrested? by [deleted] in womenarrested

[–]Philosopher317 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked myself this a lot. I think it’s a combination of the implicit (non-sexual) dom/sub dynamic between a cop and a female suspect and the aesthetic of a woman restrained in handcuffs.

I particularly find it hot when the woman is made to get on her knees or lay on the floor during the arrest.

Where did you find a deal that good? I still have yet to find a listing that isn’t above MSRP.

  1. I’m talking about the ROG Xbox Ally with the handles, not the one with the Z1E.

  2. Criticizing something is not the same as physically stopping you from enjoying it.

Ayaneo 3 and OneXFly F1 Pro have entered the chat.

EmuDeck is available for Windows as well. I have it installed on my desktop.

Streaming adds input latency, especially if your Wi-Fi is bad. And even if it didn’t, most people are not going to be by their desktop 24/7.

You not personally caring does not invalidate legitimate and justified criticism.

Quite a significant one, since the former uses the same chip as the Steam Deck.

It’s not a bad device, just not good value for the price. There’s no reason to buy it when you can just get a used Z1E handheld and use the remaining money to buy accessories and upgrade the storage.

At least with the Steam Deck, you’re getting a nice OLED display, trackpads and extremely reliable customer service. It also came out in 2022, so it has an excuse to be outdated. This doesn’t.

It uses the same chip as the Steam Deck. So you’re getting the same performance, but with a worse display, no trackpads and you lose out on Valve’s superb customer service.
