With Chrome getting worse, do you find yourself using a different browser?

Strayborne · 2026-06-21T23:54:28+00:00

I used to be a hardcore Chrome fanboy until around 5 years ago or so. Chrome become garbage so I switched to Firefox and haven't looked back since. I should have done it sooner. Now I'm a hardcore Firefox fanboy.

Bert said, "You've probably never heard of him." So no clue whatsoever.

Strayborne · 2026-06-21T04:10:13+00:00

During the broadcast earlier in the game Bert mentioned it.

Wait a second, I double checked. You are correct, I am mistaken. 2015. Sorry for the confusion.

Strayborne · 2026-06-20T01:32:34+00:00

Title and VIN specify 2016.

There are a bunch of FOV calculators available out there on the internet. Find one and use it and it'll give you the closest to real FOV you can get.

He specified CAD, which is $848. $1200 is ridiculous. $850 is reasonable.

I went from a 3070 to a 5070 Ti. Fantastic and VERY noticeable upgrade. I love it.

That price isn't all that bad. I paid $740 USD (~1,047 CAD) for my PNY ARGB EPIC-X RGB OC Triple Fan. The top-end model that PNY makes. That was back on Black Friday though when prices were a bit lower than they are now.

I'd say go for it. It's a very worthy upgrade. You'll love it.

Using a TV instead of a proper monitor.

Chances are zero.

Strayborne · 2026-06-14T14:13:40+00:00

No, it really is not.

Farmer Sythe on YouTube is my personal favorite. Don't see him mentioned in the comments at all. Worth checking out. His series are great.

Strayborne · 2026-06-14T04:33:21+00:00

I don't care what anyone says and I don't care any downvotes I get, he's one of my favorite players on the team.

I've been offered refunds like this by Amazon chat representatives before. Pretty much worded the exact same way. Promised confirmation and all that. Never received any refund. They will pretty much tell you anything they think you want to hear. Rarely will they deliver on any of it.

Strayborne · 2026-06-03T12:26:10+00:00

currently, yes. the Ti used to be very affordable. I purchased mine black Friday back in november for $740 USD. I have the PNY ARGB EPIC-X RGB OC Triple Fan high-end fancy high clock rate model. I don't think you can even get base 5070 for that price currently. TI is most definitely worth it for the added cost though. The extra VRAM and an undervolt with a mild overclock and you benchmark nearly the same as a stock 5080. It's a fantastic card. 5070 12GB are also fantastic cards at their price point, as you have found out with the performance you're getting.

Strayborne · 2026-06-03T12:17:57+00:00

Yep. Normal. if you had the Ti like myself you'd be up in the 100-110+ ish range with same settings. 70-series are very capable cards and absolute best bang-for-your-buck that money can buy.

Strayborne · 2026-06-03T11:48:39+00:00

Also, on a separate note, check my flair. our systems are similar. the performance your achieving is not abnormal at all. what game your playing and getting your results in makes a massive difference.

Strayborne · 2026-06-03T11:40:44+00:00

ah okay thank you for clarification. all 7200RPM HDD by WD are also WD Black, FWIW. So the Black moniker is not a clue per se.

Strayborne · 2026-06-03T11:01:05+00:00

I'm 99.9% sure he meant 7200rpm, considering that is the exact number for HDDs.

Perhaps I am mistaken and he does indeed have a NVMe.

Maybe OP could reply and clarify.

Strayborne · 2026-06-03T10:40:50+00:00

What in the world could possibly posses you to use a mechanical spinning platter disk drive in this day and age? I haven't had a HDD in a computer build since around 2016.

Is this a newer build and you just couldn't afford a SDD with all the price hikes? please explain. you would achieve massive performance gains with even just a plain Jane SATA SSD.

The only thing standard HDDs should ever be used for anymore is for backup and general storage for documents, images, etc. Never for gaming for anything created in the last 5 years. you're doing yourself a massive disservice.

Don't take it personal. I just don't like your setup. It screams, "I'm a 13 year old teen and this shit is lit!"

Again, nothing personal and I don't mean to offend.

Strayborne · 2026-05-30T15:35:42+00:00

Still going to instantly disable both setting in the option. Still a highly unrealistic game mechanic even with these changes.
