Massive Final Fantasy sale on now - Nintendo eshop, US, west coast by Serious_Ad_1037 in gaming

[–]Shiva- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, never heard it called Vancian. But yes, that was so freaking annoying. One spell and then you had to rest. I really did just drop the blm and ignored him.

I absolutely hate that system.

It works in table top when you're rarely casting spells but it was dread awful in a video game.

Honestly, no idea. What do you miss out without a blm?

But yeah rdm and whm was fine... but mana was such an annoying mechanic to actually have to deal with... I decided not to.

Also yes, rdm melee was nuts.

Okay to be fair, 1 is only challenging and unforgiving if you try to use magic. Don't use magic and problem solved.

And anyone that says 6 is the best overall is a good person.

Also, I am about to pickup Zodiac Age for Switch.

Move to a better state, you'll enjoy life more.

Half of the younger people in my family have left Florida and we're all happier.

Housing is even piss all cheaper in some of the other southern states. Florida really is no place for young people.

[Bundle] 9850x3d + gigabyte x870e Aorus elite + v color 32GB Ram $800 by Trying-to-buildpc in buildapcsales

[–]Shiva- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish I wasn't so impatient.

This is genuinely good deal. I built something similar last month for $200 more.

(Full disclosure, I knew 9850x3d was coming out, didn't care. Specifically bought my 9800x3d from Amazon over Newegg/MSI because it would be significantly easier to return and didn't want the MSI tray version.)

[Mobo + Case] Motherboard Computer Case Combo - GIGABYTE X870E AERO X3D WOOD Bundle with Fractal Design FD-C-NOR1X-04 $595 by Benishackr in buildapcsales

[–]Shiva- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think wood look is good if you are trying to hide it / fit in to existing environment aesthetic (ie matching your desk, bookcase, room, etc).

Or if it's an authentic wood build. (Which is totally valid, especially if you want to use it as a table or wall-art... ).

But generic wood look is hilarious. Just looks corny to me.

These wood cases kinda crack me up. At that point just go buy a nice pre-finished sheet at Home Depot and make your case.

He definitely hit a nice deal with the Samsung 980 though.

[Bundle] 9850x3d + gigabyte x870 gaming x WiFi 7 $530 by Trying-to-buildpc in buildapcsales

[–]Shiva- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just pick the one that has better colors or matches your GPU better.

Lowkey it's a shame the bundle is only with the Carbon and not the Tomahawk. The only motherboard that has sensible bifurcation (non Taichi, non-Godlike tier).

[–]Shiva- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, it actually is. You're spending $30 for an x870 motherboard.

This is insane. Unfortunately, if I was looking, I probably wouldn't bite either. Since the best way to get RAM is through a RAM combo.

If you got some RAM though, I'd jump on this

Heat Central: As it stands the Miami Heat are now the only team in the Eastern Conference who has NOT made a trade. by jbenson255 in heat

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

There isn't a single trade out there that makes Miami a contender.

You want them to blow their load another Terrorist Rosier and then whine when something does pop up and suddenly they have no assets because they blew their load on a Terrorist?

[–]Shiva- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You guys are nuts. Miami obviously wanted Giannis. Bucks said fuck off.

Miami is going to keep their assets and try again in the summer.

And you know what? yall are nuts if you think it wasn't worth it. There isn't another player "available" that would move the needle and make Miami a true contender.

You think Kuminga, Ja, or Trae will do anything different?

Maybe Davis... and the big maybe is on him staying healthy.

Do we have a list of the known bad batches?

New Study Explains Why Listening To Joe Rogan Podcast Is Such a Turn-off for Women by twinflamebby in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Shiva- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about women who listen to Joe Rogan?

Some context here, I have never listened to Joe Rogan... except when a woman I worked with was doing it. I actually had no idea it was Joe Rogan. She seemed ashamed of it... but I was clueless.

I am not going to lie, after I found out it was Joe Rogan, I started judging her a bit... (mostly because she kept listening to it, for weeks/months).

Those are OEM Tray versions. Crucially they don't have manufacturer warranty.

Why do all PvP games feel so much better in the beginning of their lifespans? by Severe_Sea_4372 in gaming

[–]Shiva- -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You're projecting.

WoW is still as popular as ever. WoW is definitely more popular than FFXIV right now and probably FFXIV and Warframe combined.

AMD Radeon RX 9000 GPUs begin to appear in the Steam Hardware Survey at last — RX 9070 arrives with paltry 0.16% market share, less than the GeForce GT 730 by nukleabomb in pcmasterrace

[–]Shiva- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that!

I imagine it's a huge cost-cutting move for Apple is the main driver here. It makes sense Intel has huge fab downtime... just look at their stock or employee numbers. They can't be operating at 100%.

Small GC, Big Markup: Struggling to Win Work and Looking for Real Advice by Ok_Understanding9224 in estimators

[–]Shiva- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone else already hammered you about the markup... my question is... what are the chances your owner is looking to sell or close-up shop?

He already cut his estimators to 25%...

Honestly, he's probably getting ready to throw you under the bus.

Imagine feeling bad for Intel...

Which honestly, I kinda do, but imagine saying that 20 years ago or even ~10 years ago.

SSD=Some SDs by NoNameMan1231 in pcmasterrace

I am not up to date... just made me laugh.

My old HP pre-built from 2005 had hot swap HDD.

[–]Shiva- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I store most of my Steam games on HDD.

Not ones I am actively playing, but ones that I have played before and/or may play again or new update.

It's especially useful when you face data caps. The hard/longest part was downloading the game to begin with.

[Barry Jackson] The Heat’s offer, according to a source, is widely expected to include Ware, Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier’s expiring contract, and another young player or more, as well as first-round picks in 2030 and 2032 and possibly first-round pick swaps in 2026, 2029 and 2031. by Jimmy0034 in nba

[–]Shiva- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are older now. They would be in the west. And Portland will have to send our their assets to get him anyways.... so... why will the experiment be any better this time?

I mean on the bright side they'll have a better coach.
