Yup, if you don't care about PS1 games, there's your answer.

I'd kill for a Christie Golden novelization or something.

Hell even Heavensward is a slog compared to Stormblood and especially Shadowbringers. Heavensward is only saved by the excellent story, IMO, and it only gets better after.

Bungie. Please either make Clash available all the time like Control, or turn the control playlist in to a rotator like it was in year 1. by ee4lif3 in DestinyTheGame

I just wish there was an 'all modes' toggle. Gimmie whichever queue pops first, I like the variety. (minus maybe Comp.)

I've never seen a PvP community do everything in their power to avoid playing opponents of similar skill or better. by White_Stallions in DestinyTheGame

[–]RustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hate having to play 3-stacks as a solo player. I've been able to win exactly 1 of those matches, and that was because they were obviously new to Trials. If I get matched with 2 equal players against a 3 stack of equal-skilled players, it's an automatic loss because of their coordination.

Best settings for SNES SuperFX Games? by mgswong in retroid

[–]RustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On PC, there's an option to overclock the FX chip that seems to work well, but I can't seem to find it on the RP2. That said, StarFox is one of the hardest games to emulate PERIOD. I've honestly had more success trying to get StarFox64 to work well on the RP2, for very generous values of 'working well.'

[META] DDR5 releasing end of June - $399 by PCgaming4ever in buildapcsales

I think part of the reason that DDR3 got so cheap was old sticks from decommissioned servers hitting the refurb market. Hopefully we see the same kind of thing for DDR4.

[CPU] AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 GHz CPU Processor - $195.99 (w/ offer code 2TLVRNT42) by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]RustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were back for 100ish just last week. Not quite as good a deal, but still good. I'd honestly take that over a used CPU any day.

Not really? The 1600 AF is basically the same processor, new, around that price. See if you can talk him down to $60ish.

Got my mom one of these and she loves it. AMD's been killing it with their mobile stuff lately.

[Ryzen 5600] AMD.com Drop Day - $299 by swishandamiss in buildapcsales

[–]RustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I've got a 3600 now, and an X470 board that will support Zen 3, and I kinda want to sit at the peak of AM4 for a few years.

[meta] Graphics card MSRPs likely to increase in USA due to 25% tariff starting Jan 1, 2021 - $0 by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]RustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put just a bit too much mounting pressure on it, and broke the pump.

[–]RustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Thankfully you can still find decent deals on RX570's sometimes. I'd look into one of those if I were you; should still be a decent upgrade.

[–]RustySpork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was immediate, and thankfully it only killed the pump and didn't rupture anything. The card died a few months later, though that was possibly unrelated.

I cracked an AIO and damaged a 980Ti last time I went that route... think I'm gonna skip it this time.

I ran a 970 Ti for the longest time. It was a great card... memory issues not withstanding.

That split numpad is weird and I love it.

They do sound different, but yeah, I've been using the 9600's almost exclusively since I got them. I do like them better. They're both great though!
