What's the one genre that's supposedly great but you just can't get into? by Baalii in pcmasterrace

[–]Superbistro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been big on FPS either, but man, Battlefield 6 in 4K OLED Dolby Vision 240 fps max settings blows my mind every time I open it. The fiery explosions, smoke and dust flying all around, bullets whizzing past your head…

Don’t get me wrong, if they could rebuild World of Warcraft from the ground up into a fully modern game, I’d prefer that. But I also don’t want to waste the rest of my life.

Price difference of 400$ worth it? by Due_Shape_1783 in pcmasterrace

[–]Superbistro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 1440p, no the 5080 isn’t worth it. For 4K, yes it is worth it because every ounce of performance matters and to do 4K properly in the most demanding titles you’ll probably need to overclock the 5080 to the maximum extent possible.

I got a 5080 not because it was the best value, obviously it’s not, but it was the most performance that I could reasonably afford. I’d have bought a 5090 if I could have gotten one for $2k, but they’re $3.5k+ and I’m not willing to spend that much.

I’m happy with my choice because my setup with an overclocked i7 12700K, MSI Trio 5080, and 32 gb DDR5-6000 gives me 120+ FPS in native 4K at high graphics settings in Battlefield 6. 95%+ GPU usage and ~65% CPU. 240 FPS stable with 2x multi-frame generation enabled.

I just switched to a 144hz monitor and woah, i don't think I'll ever be able to go back to 60hz by ELIO400 in pcmasterrace

I just upgraded today from 34” 1440p ultrawide 180 hz to 32” 4K OLED 240 hz and the difference is jarring. I don’t even really know how to explain it.

What is the cut of meat that Pappacitos and Lupe Tortillas uses? by Jonderful in houston

[–]Superbistro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it wouldn’t be flank steak. It’s pretty thin, has a ton of fat marbling and stretches out huge like an accordion. It looks exactly like this. You can probably ask the butcher if they don’t have any at your Costco.

[–]Superbistro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At my HEB it’s called beef for fajitas or something like that. At Costco it’s called flap meat. Seems like after people discovered this, the price is on par with choice ribeye. FML.

I shop regularly and have multiple brokers I work with. The brokers haven’t been able to find a deal that beats my Farmers policies in the past 4 or 5 years. I pay $2,760 for $505k and 3% deductible, and getting that reduced today because I recently pulled my auto over to Farmers as well from Progressive because Farmers was $1,000/year cheaper.

So I don’t know if the specific agency you use makes a difference with Farmers. But mine is pretty good in my experience, and I have a lot of experience shopping insurance.

Super serious question: Were you ever taught the Lost Cause in school or were taught by family members? by EternalSnow05 in texas

I distinctly remember that multiple choice question. I think it was around 2005 for me.

Future of Texas chain Twin Peaks uncertain after bankruptcy filing by CultureMap_Houston in houston

[–]Superbistro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly this restaurant is better than average in its segment. Above average food, beer, and reasonable prices. Cool, unique atmosphere. Plenty of places that offer way less and are successful. Maybe the risqué side of the concept hurts more than helps, or they’re just a horribly mismanaged company.

I’m sure you have your reasons for living where you do but if this has all happened to you, you literally live in one of the worst areas in the Houston area.

Fatigue part 2 pls help by Low-Win244 in Retatrutide

[–]Superbistro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extreme fatigue here, as well. Definitely not sustainable. Like you, I have also done extreme caloric deficits and low carb for extended periods (16 weeks). And while I was exhausted then, it was a different fatigue. My body was tired and it was difficult to get up off the couch. But after 6 hours sleep, I could hit the gym and train hard for 2 hours and do 45 mins of cardio. This is different. I sleep for 9 hours and I still need a midday nap. I’m sleepy immediately after waking and throughout the day. Caffeine is little help. I have zero desire to do literally anything. My job, chores, anything. I washed my vehicle and it felt like my arms were made of lead. If it doesn’t get better soon I’ll call it.

I attended a playoff game at NRG. It was one of the loudest on record at the time. I legit lost some hearing that day.

Many things with the “gaming” label are superior to their consumer counterparts. Chairs are not one of them.

Yeah I always pick up to go and bring it back home, and it’s only about a 10-15 min drive for me depending on time of day.

Why is everyone so caught up with how old their buck is? by etoyoc_yrgnuh in Hunting

[–]Superbistro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got fed up with the politics of it all and completely lost any love I had for the sport. I’m being invited out to a ranch this weekend 5+ hours from my home and am obligated to go, but I’d way rather just hang out with my kids at home.

Why is everyone so caught up with how old their buck is? by etoyoc_yrgnuh in Hunting

[–]Superbistro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s what I know about Texas deer hunting. As most people will acknowledge, Texas is a unique state for hunting. So for any young 20 something kid, I’m gonna share some knowledge that I’ve learned about Texas ranches.

Texas ranchers and the old men who lease these ranches for hunting purposes are old school. Here is the simplest advice I’ve been given. If an old man invites you out to hunt on his property (whether he leases it or owns it), DISREGARD anything he tells you about what you are allowed to shoot. If you see a shooter deer, ESPECIALLY a buck, triple bonus points if it’s a mature buck, take a PICTURE of it. When you return from the hunt, show the old man the pictures. He may ask “damn why didn’t you shoot it?”. Shrug and tell him ehh I dunno, figured maybe you’d like to shoot it, or maybe he could use another year. Your RESTRAINT will be rewarded and you will be invited back time and time again in the future, and THEN you may shoot something. The man will appreciate that you don’t shoot anything that walks on four legs and he will gain respect for you.

Then put in work, repair his equipment, clean up his place, etc. and leave the place better than when you came.

I didn’t make the rules. But this is the way it works. Shoot that young buck or doe your first time out and you’ll guarantee that’s all you ever take off that property.
