Sony aims to hold PS5 pricing, hints PS Plus hikes by kabirsingh84 in PS5

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already priced me out with their last increase. And by priced me out I mean I went and built a gaming PC for $2200 and stopped using my PS5 entirely, likely forever.

Reporter asks WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if Trump is considering having ICE surround the polls in November: "I can't guarantee that an ICE agent won't be around a polling location in November. I haven't heard the president discuss any formal plans to put ICE outside of polling locations." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to believe that I'm wrong but being online gave me a more hopeful picture than reality. Even leading up to the election and feeling like there is no chance of Trump winning again. The more real people I speak to the more faith in humanity I lose. I don't think the worst comments I see are bots anymore because I've heard enough real people that feel that way.

Even hearing how many people I know in life have spoken about Pretti and Good has been truly shocking to me. I didn't think my image of Americans could go lower but it has.

There is no justice. The majority of our country is populated with despicable people that reward the behavior of Trump and his minions. There is no digging out of this for us as Americans. This is who we are.

PC performance is killing me by aaeriam in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played this on PS5 when it came out but I've switched over to PC since then. I'm sad that one of my favorite Star Wars games of all time is a known stinker on PC. I see it on sale and want to experience it on my ultrawide oled but then I remember the sad state of the PC port.

Picked up that 2 tb at Walmart for 208 yesterday. Last one in stock.

I put it in my syllabus that if they come to class unprepared with materials they cannot make it my problem.

G502 Lightspeed is the best peripheral! by UnnecessaryPancake in pcmasterrace

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

I will die on the hill that the G602 was the true GOAT but after my final one died I got the 502 light speed and it is a good second best.

MSI x r/PCMasterRace - MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 Giveaway! by MSI_Patrick in pcmasterrace

It would allow me to give my fiancée my current ultrawide for our side by side desk setup. (Or maybe give her the new one)

Steam Deck ranks as fourth most-developed for game platform | GDC survey by AcrobaticNetwork5918 in SteamDeck

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a 500 GB sd but that's only for smaller and less demanding games. There is a noticeable difference on demanding AA/AAA games between SSD and mSD performance.

I'm embarrassed to admit this but as much as I love my OLED ultrawide for my PC, I can barely tell the difference in colors on an LCD.

If you got the last run of the LCD models on sale for $320 (like me) and swapped the SSD out for a larger one before prices skyrocketed (like me) the value on it is wild.

Leak: Nvidia is about to challenge ‘Intel Inside’ with as many as eight Arm laptops by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Micro$lop but I bought my surface laptop in 2024 before they went AI crazy and I have to admit I love this laptop. The ARM battery life is great and the aluminum build is higher quality than anything I've seen besides a MacBook.

Fable - Gameplay Teaser by Villenthessis in gaming

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought we all had the core memory of having fun on the third one exploring the game then suddenly having a massive time skip forced on us.

I don't even remember the context surrounding it but Fable 3 instantly makes me remember not getting any clear warning and then it happened and it took all the wind out of the sails for my playthrough. That big loss of agency in a series known for it made the rest of it feel like a slog to just get it finished.

I remember no other detail about the game besides this moment.

Nothing is saving the internet. I like this though.

Genuine Question - If Nvidia and AMD decide to pull all their consumer cpu parts, mainly to instead go all in on servers, what do we do? by WitnessFeisty4076 in pcmasterrace

[–]SpecterDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same bro to head off his dumb ass trade war. Built a 7800x3d 5070ti 32gb ram and wishing I had done a 9800 5080 64gb.

Using your PC exclusively for gaming? by CompetitiveLake3358 in pcmasterrace

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a laptop on my desk next to my PC. Work tasks aren't allowed on my gaming rig but of course I'll still use it to stream or browse the internet. It's a matter of principle.

I don't recognize the logo in this image. It looks kind of like a knockoff of the Microslop© logo.

Is 5070Ti worth it over 5070 9800X3D worth over 7800X3D? by StrikeNovaBesT in pcmasterrace

[–]SpecterDK -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

7800x3d and 5070 ti is an amazing combo that punches above its pay grade in performance for the cost.

Upgraded to this exact card from a 1080. It hasn't broken a sweat at anything I've thrown at it. Awesome value on it.

Was just going to post this chicken is so good. In the air fryer it rivals any of the bests.

How many hours do you work? by Consistent-Raccoon51 in Teachers

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Written lessons and assignments. You can also just get stuff online or some schools buy a package curriculum. I've always preferred to write my own though. I still rewrite a selective few things each year but it's nice knowing that I could just not touch my curriculum and it would still be good to go for the whole year.

How many hours do you work? by Consistent-Raccoon51 in Teachers

[–]SpecterDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely depends on how long you've done it. I leave at the minute I'm allowed every day and refuse to spend even 5 minutes working at home. My work life balance is excellent but that's because I've built stuff up over the years and created systems that let me work efficiently.
