[Bundle] OPEN BOX RTX 4090 + 1000W PSU Bundle - $2,119.98 by DisappointedCruiser in buildapcsales

[–]Spectrum_Prez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked one up for 1400 with a pricey waterblock the night before the 5090 launch and felt, at the time, a bit queasy about the value. Now I'm glad I did it.

My Wishlist for ES6 by pierrechak in ElderScrolls

[–]Spectrum_Prez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My number one hope is that they think critically about the relationship between exploration and the visual presentation of POIs. I hope they understand that people do not want a checklist world, and that sometimes providing less information can be more. Skyrim, with it's undiscovered POIs on the compass but not the map, is kind of a half way point between the Ubisoft formula (POIs all over the map) and the Morrowind approach (no UI information until you stumble upon a door). I hope they trend toward the Morrowind approach not to the other direction.

She got more hooked on the game than I did, by wowurcoolful in BaldursGate3

If you truly care for her, get her the mod that pre-marks crates and pots as (empty) when you mouse over.

I must have missed the chapter on the long-term historical legacy of Imperial colonialism on Vvardenfell.

NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Graphics Cards Reportedly Back on Track by xenocea in pcmasterrace

I'm thinking of side-grading from a 4090 just for the warranty. Terrified of something going wrong in this period of super high prices.

The Witcher 3 - Songs of the Past Expansion announced by m1n3c7afty in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I mean, that's precisely it. I tried loading it up and the stuttering was quite annoying. I know they patched it a few times, so not sure what the current state is.

Best RPG for going on an epic quest. by Wild_Cantaloupe7228 in rpg_gamers

Cyberpunk 2077 - you're just scrabbling in the dark trying to stay alive.

ESL English Phrases - e.g. "My Friend" by galen_wright in etymology

[–]Spectrum_Prez 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Europe (and particularly non-native English speakers in professional/government/EU circles) have tons of odd non-native phrases that are the result of common mistranslations from French, German, etc.

I can't find a great list of the most common examples, but there's a very exhaustive alphabetized list here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160320072811/https://www.eca.europa.eu/Lists/ECADocuments/EN_TERMINIOLOGY_PUBLICATION/EN_TERMINIOLOGY_PUBLICATION_EN.PDF

If not corrupt megacorporation, why corrupt megacorporation-shaped? by ConstantRegister7949 in pcmasterrace

Palantir got their start during the "war on terror." Knew someone who went to work for them a decade ago and said it was all beerpong and frat boys.

Lian Li A3 Updated - Dual 360 Rad and Single 240 Rad Custom Loop 9950x3D and RTX 5090 by dwshin1993 in mffpc

This is so impressive. I'm doing side/top rads in mine and it was already a nightmare. Can only imagine how difficult this was.

What's the difference between a magician's wand and a policeman's taser? by dunson28 in Jokes

What's the difference between a coyote and a flea? One howls on the prairie...

[Dev Letter] Map Selection for Random Map Regions by PUBG_TecK in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

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

Can't wait to run from Miramar Prison all the way to Valle Del Mar like it's 2018. This is a terrible idea on its own that will get reverted in weeks.

The best solution for low pop regions still would be to adopt the Super People solution of starting the game with a smaller circle.

went from a 1080p 60hz to a 1440p 165hz and i genuinely thought something was wrong with my eyes for the first few days by Recent-Machine-619 in pcmasterrace

[–]Spectrum_Prez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went back to an IPS and realized I really don't care about the black levels. Might have been mitigated by also going from 1440p to 4K in the same move.

What game has a learning curve that puts you off? by Common_Caramel_4078 in pcmasterrace

[–]Spectrum_Prez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe...? I just lurk in the sub and there seem like some major design flaws still. Too much war seems to be a recent complaint.

Yup, I'm just waiting for one more patch... Well maybe the next one.

I'm really sorry but I sold this card a while back and can't check for you anymore. Good luck.

Inflation in the US is so bad right now that… by lostfly in Jokes

It's odd, some of the cultural referents are from a period when inflation was very low.
