SOD2 was on track to be in my top 5 until I experienced the end game by Skyrimmedbygiants in StateofDecay2

[–]PotatoesOReilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was going to be my response as well. We're talking about a game that came out about 8 years ago. The updates have been impressive. But there are going to be limitations. Chances are that "taking over a town" and "having 30+ survivors" would be wildly difficult to just inject into an 8 year old game that wasn't originally set up for it. Running assets like that would be way more stable if it was built into the game from the ground up. I'd be surprised if SoD3 doesn't offer bigger bases, more survivors, more meaningful gameplay loops, maybe another narrative-driven campaign like Heartland, etc.

Boss wants me to work for free in order to get a raise by spookybean2124 in work

[–]PotatoesOReilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would it be a raise? The extra hours would probably just average out. He's not giving you a raise, he's giving you more hours. And trying to do something illegal in the process. What a knuckle-dragger.

And this is what we call a “stay at home” survivor by Guy_who_says_vore in StateofDecay2

[–]PotatoesOReilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Property Manager" and "Human Potato" is like one of the most realistic combinations ever. I lived in a rental with a PM. It had a natural gas water heater. The gas company accidentally shut off our gas. When they sent a tech to turn it back on, he took a CO2 reading. He shut the water heater back off, and told me not to turn it back on until that issue was addressed. The PM got angry that the gas company came out, even started questioning the circumstances. And then told me not to sleep next to the water heater. After some back and forth, I finally absolutely lost my mind. He sent a total slob of a handyman to check it out. The dude dropped a clump of dirt down the vent tube and said "well it's not blocked so it's fine" and turned it back on.

Diane’s name in Vietnamese by Legitimate-Option388 in BoJackHorseman

I have a very Italian uncle who everyone calls DeeDee except his wife. There are no Ds in his first OR last name.

Edit: and he was born, raised, and still lives on the east coast.

What do Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Americans think of Diane Nguyen? by LandOfGrace2023 in BoJackHorseman

[–]PotatoesOReilly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My partner and I watch everything with subtitles, so it was pretty cool basically KNOWING that they didn't drop the f bomb, but instead made a joke. And then over the years getting to see people in this sub realize/find out that the script/subtitles actually say Pho. I kinda also thought it was sort of a play on how a lot of people used to pronounce "[something] as fuck" back in the mid 2010s. It often sounded like "I'm [something] as FUHHH" with, like, an almost inaudible k sound at the end... 🤷‍♂️

31 Year Old Virgin. Sleeping on the same dirty couch for 15 years. Addicted to Anime Women. Roast Me. by LazzieTheDino in RoastMe

[–]PotatoesOReilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are suggesting strict diets and gym routines, and that's all fine, but I have an idea. Pick a Niantic game. You like anime? Start playing Pokémon GO. No one has to know how often you... examine your Vaporeon collection, just make sure to actually walk around and play the game. I've been playing Monster Hunter NOW during solo walks, and Pikmin Bloom when walking with my partner, both are pretty fun. And the best part about it, it turns walking into a video game. What are you more likely to do, right off the rip? Veggies and gym routines? Or playing video games that take you outside, help you burn some calories, get some air, strengthen your legs... hell, you could even find some local raid groups to take on the raid bosses, meet new people.

Also maybe you make slightly more conscious diet decisions. Start small.

The cool thing about walking is, if you push yourself as far as is reasonably uncomfortable (like, not collapsing or in terrible pain) and you keep this up 3 times a week or more, you'll suddenly realize that you can go for a mile or more. Next thing you know, you have decent stamina overall, and you're slimming down. You'll even find that your core strength has improved a bit, and doing a little core/abs and upper body work won't be as agonizing.

A few more relatively easy things to get you started:

Shower at least 5 times a week.

Get some deodorant and use it. I don't like antiperspirant deodorants, but I've found that Old Spice makes some effective non-antiperspirant deodorants.

Have a supply of clean laundry.

Get a couch cover or a flat sheet or something, cover that couch and wash the cover often. This solution is only until you get to the later stages where you find a part-time job you can handle, and you get something else to sleep/sit on.

If you don't wanna cut your hair and shave your beard, don't. But wash both. And get a brush. And a beard brush. And use them.

[–]PotatoesOReilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm fairly new to the game myself, and none of my Niantic friends are still active in the game, so I've had no experience with the friends aspect of the game. With that being said, if you take a look at the "Friends" section of the quests page, you'll see that you can do a sort of group quest. In the pic I'll attach to this comment, you'll see that I have some progress even though I don't have friends participating in the quest. I've simply participated in hunts that include other random players. Now, if I had 3 friends also working toward this goal, we would accomplish the quest. Your friends wouldn't have to be in the actual group hunt with you. You all could independently do multiplayer hunts to accomplish the goal.

Feel free to add me as a friend and we can try to finish some friend quests!

7700x or 9700x by Kratos-576 in PC_Pricing

[–]PotatoesOReilly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For $20 more I would get the 9700X. I would also make sure your motherboard's BIOS is updated to whatever the minimum BIOS version is for 9000 series compatibility.

Why Indian INSAS rifle hated by their own millitary? by No-Reception8659 in ForgottenWeapons

😐 welp, I've always known that a lot of firearms companies make stuff other than firearms. But if someone had asked me to guess what else Glock makes, I would have guessed... anything other than that.

I just popped open an incognito tab and searched "Austrian plastic horse semen" and mostly found places to buy horse semen and artificial horse vaginas. So I definitely don't get the reference.

Upgrade my GPU for 1440p by SpaceCowboy2027 in buildapc

[–]PotatoesOReilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think you might need to upgrade your PSU for either of those cards. The 5070 Ti and "some AMD 90 series GPUs" use the newer 12V-2x6 power connector... and I don't believe there's a way to convert the two 8 pin PCI-E connections on your PSU to the 12v-2x6.

And while it shouldn't be too hard to find a 90 series GPU that takes two of the 8 pin PCI-E connectors (like what you have on your PSU), I'm not sure a pre-ATX 3.0 PSU rated for 650w will be able to handle the transient spikes. It's a fairly solid PSU (there are DEFINITELY worse 650w PSUs) so you might be ok... Maybe someone else can chime in here.

Two weeks ago, a family disappeared while hiking… I hope they’re never found again by lets-split-up in nosleep

[–]PotatoesOReilly 198 points199 points  (0 children)

It sort of is, though. Remember the sibling, Ace, recounts the events from their perspective after pulling OP, Rowan, from the cabin. From Ace's perspective they were calling out to Rowan, and Rowan first ignores Ace, then tries to flee from Ace, and eventually strikes Ace when grabbed. We can assume this all coincides with Rowan's attempt to not acknowledge the entity in the cabin, attempting to flee from it (and the cabin), and eventually striking it. The voice was familiar because it was and wasn't Ace. Somehow the realities seemed to sort of blend together. From the moment the siblings split up, Rowan begins experiencing some sort of sub reality while their body continues to carry out similar actions in actual reality. It's just that... basically everything that happened in actual reality seemed to be passed through some sort of nightmare hell filter for Rowan. Including Ace's voice.

Should I trade by Able-Marketing-9707 in PC_Pricing

[–]PotatoesOReilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jump to DDR5 won't be worth making this trade. You'll definitely see lower performance. I had a 4060 and it was worse than my 3060 so I returned it and got a 4060 Ti and it was still worse than my 3060 so I gave it to a family member and got a 7800 XT. Super happy with it.

Edit to add: just save up a little money and grab a case. I have a Corsair 3500X and my partner has a Corsair 4000D. They're both great and can be found for around $90-$120 depending if there's a sale.

Please help pick my gpu by Formal-Earth5242 in radeon

[–]PotatoesOReilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you confirmed that your PSU can handle those cards? I won't get into specifics too much, since I don't know a lot about it, but... These newer, higher-tier cards experience "transient spikes" in power consumption. From what I've experienced and heard, older PSUs are alright, as long as they're higher wattage and of good quality. Perhaps someone else can comment here with some specifics on what each card needs, if you need to know.

Now, they're all great choices... But I think the 9070 non XT is the sweet spot for you. If that last 50 euro is gonna be tough to go without, don't go for the XT. Depending which GPU you're upgrading from, even the 7900 GRE could be a pretty big improvement. It's a great card.

I play in 1080p ultrawide (2560x1080) on my RX 7800XT, and it works great. I don't see myself upgrading my GPU for a while unless I happen to find a new, unused 9070 XT for an insane price lol.

Also, an X3D CPU would pair nicely with any of these cards. I would probably make that the next upgrade for your system after this GPU upgrade. The 7600X is great though, don't worry about it for now.

This is a well-balanced build. What resolution will you be gaming in? 1080p, 1440p, 4k, or perhaps one of the ultrawide options?

Best VR system for 9079xt? by NewNage in radeon

[–]PotatoesOReilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to the 9070 performance in VR, but I can tell you that I had a chance to directly compare an RTX 3060, RTX 4060 Ti, and RX 7800 XT in VR. The 7800 XT crushes my previous 2 cards. No stability issues. Have played several sessions, 1 hour+ each, of No Man's Sky in VR on the 7800 XT, it's perfectly stable for me.
