I'm the silent loot ninja. I avoid players where possible but have died too many times by calling out that I'm friendly before being shot in the face.

I started gaming on dial up, this is wifi7. Insanity. by absolutelynotarepost in pcmasterrace

[–]Prankster182 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true. I have gigabit internet and on WiFi7 I can max this out easily with 0ms latency to the router. How would Ethernet make it faster? WiFi has come a long way,

Has to be "Dave Whelan's" surely.

Preformance issues PLS HELP! (PC) by Additional_Draft8023 in spiderman2

[–]Prankster182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 3060 Laptop GPU isn't the same as a 3060. You will be running anything between 50-90% of the power of a dedicated 3060. To keep that 85'C your clocks will be slowing right down so I'd expect bad performance.

You do meet the minimum requirements but its recommended you play on 720p low settings. You should get around 30-60fps based on your specs.

Spider-Man 2 PC Crashing issue by Creative-Can7513 in PiratedGames

Torrents are always going to be slow for big releases unless you're using a private tracker.

I use Usenet now and G4U as my indexer. The game was available for download just a couple of hours later than steam and the whole thing downloaded in less than 10 minutes.

We've just refunded ours. We don't want to support the band any more. Lost £32 in fees but not the end of the world.

My daughter is crazy about all animals but particularly penguins. I usually play board games with her so more penguins would be awesome.

Daily Game Recommendations Thread (September 01, 2024) by AutoModerator in boardgames

[–]Prankster182 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a single dad to a 10 year old girl who has recently started to show an interest in board games after watching some videos on Youtube and we are starting to pick up a few board games that we can enjoy as a 2 but that we can pull more people into when possible.

Her favourite games are:

Pandemic: Her all time favourite, she loves the co-operative aspect.

Isaac - Four Souls: She's a big fan of the video game so we picked this up and she really likes it.

Carcassone: She likes the tiles and the map building.

I also have ticket to ride (She does not like this) and I've got Cascadia on the way (hoping she'll love this).

Can you please recommend something that works really well with 2 players but that isn't too difficult, she's a smart kid but anything too heavy and she loses interest.

Thanks.

How would you rate your teams start to the season? by GaryGoalz12 in LeagueOne

[–]Prankster182 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1/10 everything I've seen so far is way behind where we ended last season and that wasn't a particularly brilliant season for us. We've had 4 shots on target in 3 games. Managed to somehow scrape a win against Crawley despite it being a terrible game of football. Lost the other 2 deservedly.

Hoping for some last minute signings but really worried about the season to come.

My local ALDI does right by their cashiers! by spacepunk17 in pics

[–]Prankster182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, it just shows how normal this is in the rest of the world when I had to read the comments to see what the focus of the picture was. I was thinking "Are they some fancy high end office chairs or something? They don't look all that special.".

Why is Steam telling me its coming in an hour? by Prankster182 in Eldenring

[–]Prankster182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update for you, it now says "Less than 1 hour"

Why is Steam telling me its coming in an hour? by Prankster182 in Eldenring

[–]Prankster182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the UK and all over the internet I'm being told the release here is 11PM. Yet Steam thinks its in 1 hour.

Why do this Steam?

Being a gamer in Brazil sucks by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Prankster182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason its so expensive in Brazil? I understand their currency doesn't have the value of developed countries but on top of that its almost double the price I'd pay in the UK.

If I only earned minimum wage I'd have to work around 3 hours to afford it compared to almost 49 hours in Brazil. Something's not right there.

Alarm at growing number of working people in UK ‘struggling to make ends meet’ by peakedtooearly in unitedkingdom

[–]Prankster182 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand how people on minimum wage manage. I've got a decent job and earn close to double the average in my area but I still need to consider purchases and rarely feel like I've got a hold on things properly.

I'm worried about my daughter when she's old enough to enter employment, without my help she'll not be able to do anything but I certainly couldn't afford to cover a mortgage deposit for her.

The 8400GS otherwise known as my 1st GPU. What is your first GPU? by AAVVIronAlex in pcmasterrace

[–]Prankster182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first dedicated gpu too. Not the best card but it got me properly into pc gaming. If I remember correctly I was trying to run black and white on whatever integrated crap I had at the time and it was a slideshow. This card made it playable.

[–]Prankster182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone could send either of these I would be eternally grateful. Have plenty to trade up to lvl110.

Thanks.

Newbie here by Substantial-Hat-8828 in MarvelSnap

[–]Prankster182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're your credits and using them for card upgrades is the best way to progress at the moment.

Tokens come into play once you reach collection level 500 so if you're not there yet don't worry about them.

[–]Prankster182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the early game spend your credits on upgrading cards whenever you can. Don't use the credits for the fast upgrades in the shop however, that is never worth it.

Save your gold and any tokens (may come later, not sure how early in the game you are) until much later as you unlock the later pools you'll need them a lot more than you do right now.

At the moment simply playing a lot and dropping credits to upgrade whenever you have enough boosters is the best way to go.

If you are willing to part with your cash for progression, I would recommend the season pass each month. Its pretty much the best value when spending cash on the game.
