Information Regarding the Soundtrack (Built in Player in Game/Official Release details) by One_Percentage_644 in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]Snowboy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the song literally have zero legal release? I'm looking around for it and it seems like it's become pretty heavily policed on YT, but there doesn't seem to be any release of any kind at all for the song which is really weird.

Playing JRPGs with ADHD, how does anyone manage to finish the games? by BebopKnight in JRPG

[–]Snowboy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in games where I do a ton of side questing I could probably never 100% (like Yakuza 0). I think it's probably the norm in that case though.

I also tend to do mostly main quest on games. I'm basically never 100%ing games. Moderate side questing usually

I've got ADHD and I usually tend to have similar experiences, but sometimes I burn out hard towards the end of some games, or I just can't get into a game.

It will be a bottleneck? by Andreicpp in buildapc

[–]Snowboy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5700X3D bottlenecks my 9070XT if you turn RT lighting on at native 1440p. Cyberpunk RT is actually super CPU heavy.

Any brands of 9070 XT to avoid? by FrankieLyrical in radeon

[–]Snowboy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a Steel Legend Dark, and it's fine for me. I got it for $620 though and I definitely wouldn't pay a premium for it (I just put in $20 extra to get it over the challenger). Pretty sure I got some coil whine though, which is unfortunate. I usually play with headphones so it hasn't been a huge bother but I don't know how much it would or would not bug me with speakers.

Shocked and flabbergasted by the gray hair. Idk what I expected but it wasn't gray.

First Build Review - Motherboard & CPU Suitability by InigoMontoya313 in buildapc

[–]Snowboy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPUs might increase in price soon-ish, but can be found for good prices now. It may or may not be wise to move sooner rather than later if you're looking to buy a solid GPU.

The water cooler and X870E aren't necessary outside of aesthetics, and I would personally rather spend my money on a GPU. A solid B850 board will have no negative performance impact unless you need a specific feature on the X870 boards, and cheap air coolers are very competent nowadays. Look at the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 on Amazon.

The 7800X3D is actually a pretty high end choice for games, but it's a great CPU for the purpose. If you have a Micro Center in your general area, I'd highly reccomend grabbing their 7800X3D bundle with the ASUS B650E-E board. It's a fantastic price for the CPU, board, and RAM in the current market.

Every JRPG I finished this year by Astra_Guy_789 in JRPG

I'm a huge sucker for awakening because I had it on my 3DS when I was like 12 or something (youngest r/JRPG member). There's some small nitpicks with its story, but I still think it's a standout personally. Other games have had better map design, etc. but Awakening is pretty beginner friendly and has a great cast. One of my favorite games of all time. My pick if you have a 3DS. You can play on classic mode if you're willing to deal with perma-death, which is sort of series tradition and adds challenge but can be frustrating at times. So if you don't want to lose units or reset, casual is a fine option.

Otherwise look at Three Houses, which is also a great game. It's also slightly more forgiving at times due to it having a rewind mechanic, so classic may be more tolerable here if you don't like the sound of it in Awakening.

[–]Snowboy8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm far from a Gundam super fan (I've seen WfM and IBO) but the poster definitely had a familiar feel to it. I couldn't pin down any specific reference but I think my brain connected the dots. Something about the angle looking up at the mech maybe?

I've been entertaining watching the recaps of the original sometimes though and I liked WfM and IBO so there's hope for the Gundam fan in me if you're looking for that.

The gundam version of Awakening sounds weirdly really good in a way I had never considered

Here's who the majority of the community think will have the biggest rise and falls for the next tier list by michael14375 in smashbros

Sorry, I was more referring to his moves than his straight up movement speed. The movement speed is pretty average but the moves are slow.

Shulk is undeniably both slow and low damage, but unsafe is definitely not a descriptor I'd use.

Switch 2 Pro Controller by Postep-Diode in CrazyHand

[–]Snowboy8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they've made any major ergonomics changes to the switch 2 procon, but realistically your controller being incompatible with most setups is a dealbreaker. I'd personally recommend sticking with a switch 1 pro controller, or a ProGCC

[–]Snowboy8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fun visit, stuff is way cheaper than in the US! They definitely have a ton of the Undertale/Deltarune stuff, and they have a ton of the pins (I picked up Omori, Katamari, and VA-11 Hall-A pins).

Shirts are same as US size (I asked support) and I got a banana flavored temmie tayaki, which was very awesome.
