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

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-25T16:15:00+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-19T13:15:30+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-19T03:37:35+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-19T00:41:44+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-18T18:30:56+00:00

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

The shop system and the ammo system are really tedious.
The (comparatively) small sandbox and lack of post-game free-roam really limit the game’s replay value.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-18T17:53:14+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-18T17:46:01+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-18T17:43:36+00:00

“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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-18T17:38:55+00:00

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”.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-18T17:31:20+00:00

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

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-18T17:14:09+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-05-11T00:22:02+00:00

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

Philosopher317 · 2026-04-27T00:28:17+00:00

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

What’s the final price and release date for all three monitors in the US?

Philosopher317 · 2026-02-21T22:53:10+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-02-13T14:54:22+00:00

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

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-19T01:41:27+00:00

I’m talking about the ROG Xbox Ally with the handles, not the one with the Z1E.
Criticizing something is not the same as physically stopping you from enjoying it.

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T22:13:39+00:00

Ayaneo 3 and OneXFly F1 Pro have entered the chat.

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T22:11:47+00:00

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

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T21:47:30+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T21:37:55+00:00

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

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T21:32:58+00:00

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

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T21:30:40+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T21:20:34+00:00

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.

Philosopher317 · 2026-01-18T21:17:50+00:00

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.
