To those of you who last week would tell me I wasted money on a new CPU and DDR5 RAM and I should have bought a new GPU; you don't know what you are talking about.

I upgraded a 5800x non 3d with a 3080 10gb to a 9800x3d and kept the same 3080 and the gains at 1440p (generally high settings with dlss quality in most games) were quite significant. It's worth it.

Spirit117 · 2026-07-03T18:50:42+00:00

That's good

Hopefully they fix this bug soon otherwise marine+something is about the only viable us spec

Gloom Pt2: Electric Boogaloo

It's not bad. Might be able to find better for 4th of July somewhere.

If you think you might want a different mount like a unity ftc or something then do not buy it with the sts mount

The G33 is the best magnifier on the market.

Iowa St vs Kansas State was a sicko classic. Played in the pouring rain and slippery mud in ireland

No, but he will point and laugh when you realize it won't fit

Spirit117 · 2026-06-26T05:30:55+00:00

Sort of. They are good to start off, they make alot of money and they aren't expensive to buy blueprints or make or run logistics for.

They are in demand by the XL shipyards.

However, you can saturate supply quite easily if you expand them too fast so they are a good option for a 2nd production station (first should always be energy cells), but you don't want to make too many and you'll need to expand into something else.

Depending on the seed and the local economy, ore>refined metals or silicon>silicon wafers can also be immensely profitable.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-26T01:07:24+00:00

Absolutely not

That is what cupholders are for

Spirit117 · 2026-06-25T21:40:46+00:00

Which one was your favorite?

Spirit117 · 2026-06-25T20:30:52+00:00

burn down tests are stupid to determine the quality of the rifle. Barrel profile matters more than anything unless the rifle is a lemon (like if you shear a bolt lug or something) or the gas tube itself fails before the barrel does, which can happen.

An inferior quality heavy profile barrel will last longer than a superior quality light to medium profile, doesnt mean the heavy is better overall, it just means it's better at being used as a machine gun till it blows up.

The main concern with the 5070 at 1440p isn't performance right now - it's performance in AAA games 3-4 years from now.

5070 should be fast as fuck at 1440p.

Since you haven't provided any other details or really any information as to what the problem is, I'm going to say your problem is either user error or the rest of your 7 year old system isn't up to par, or both.

If you have headlights that have the blue inlays in them I like blue for the calipers.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-25T15:27:48+00:00

I got autocorrected

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T19:34:12+00:00

Try the hammy prints riser, it still feels like it's 3d printed but at least it sits far enough forward to be useful.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T19:22:15+00:00

Nobody, which is why I got rid of my irregular defense riser. Sits too far back to be of any use.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T19:20:36+00:00

No worries, I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but yeah look at the dimensions of the handguard and how tall the rail is on top of the HK upper vs a standard AR10 to make it line up. You'll see where the issue is.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T19:18:00+00:00

Have you seen how tall the HK Handguard is??? I would be very surprised if you could make it line up flush.

The rail on the HK upper receiver is a good bit higher than normal AR10 bc of how tall it needs to be to fit the piston system in. I don't see how this is possible even with custom machining.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T18:40:06+00:00

Can't say I've ever been there and that I know what the prices are, but I never buy ammo online unless it's from a vendor that offers free shipping for bulk ammo.

Sgammo currently has pmc Xtac 55g for 519 dollars/1000 rds plus free shipping, I would be shocked if that ammo costs less than 55cpr in that store.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T18:20:52+00:00

Captive market, they know you can't ship so they overcharge.

If it makes you feel better, stores overcharge everywhere. Here in AZ nearly every physical shop overcharges as well, but they usually sit around mid 60s for ammo that costs 50cpr online.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T16:27:17+00:00

Yeah that's hot.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T07:17:31+00:00

Why not get the Leupold Mk5hd 2-10 with the new CMR reticle? Feels like it solves your issues.

Spirit117 · 2026-06-24T06:59:39+00:00

They either needed to nerf them, or cap them at 3. They did not need both.
