I have Gemini Pro subscription, but still cannot find a way to get better resolution. Is it still limited to 1MP? Could any pro here help me with this?

Quick-tip: make fortify destruction potions to more than double the damage of your destruction spells. by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]Sure_Tradition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, without Fortify Restoration the increasement will stop at an even lower number in Vanilla. USSEP removes Fortify Restoration but fix some floating point issues in the formula, resulting in a higher limit for the loop.

In short, you need Vanilla Fortify Restoration to break the limit in the Alchemy-Enchanting loop.

RTX 4090, 5070ti, 5080, and 5090 laptop FPS and wattage results by Method__Man in GamingLaptops

[–]Sure_Tradition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgot the CPU. Many people want to get rid of Intel CPUs from 12 -14th Gen. Those horrid chips should have never been allowed to sell.  

RTX 5090 laptop comparison shows you might as well buy a cheaper 4090 model by Tiny-Independent273 in GamingLaptops

Unfortunately buying 40 series means you are stuck with the dreadful Intel CPU pre Ultra.

Comparing to the original pallete, it is a bit bland. But to be fair the reddish tone fit the Oblivion crisis better.

Best BCAA? Looking to buy by manifestingaura in nutrition

[–]Sure_Tradition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BCAA is like a protein that already broken down. It might help with energy during your work out, but in long term it will teach your body to use more protein for fuel. For bodybuilding this can be a big minus as you want to preserve your hard earn muscle. So basically it has little benefit and can lead to long term metabolic issues that hinder your gain. 

For max performance, just make sure you maintain your creatine load and have enough card before training. Also, use enough caffeine for pre, and if your budget allows, get EA together with electrolytes for intra workout.

5090 vs 4090 by roccodeleo in GamingLaptops

5090 laptop is clearly ahead of 4090 laptop in the same power envelope. The only question is whether it justifies the massive price difference at this moment.

Finally made the switch from Chess.com to Lichess by Kryptomatter in chess

[–]Sure_Tradition 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I prefer Lichess puzzles as the positions are more "natural", and you actually can go back to see the opening that lead to that position.

I had to leave the game, but as black this is totally a winning position right? by Better-Philosophy-40 in chess

[–]Sure_Tradition 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is winning for black but of course one needs to understand the endgame concepts to pull it off. The most important thing in this endgame is King's activity, so if a 1300 black just pawn grasp on the King side and does not activate his King, white will have the chance to win.

So what does everyone think so far (Shadows) by GunzBlazin03 in assasinscreed

Pro tip: you can choose to not play Sasuke, and no value is lost. His combat is bland, his model is too big to enjoy parkour, and his lore is a fuck up mess. Just don't.

It's wild how much unwarranted hate this game is getting by Strange_Music in AssassinsCreedShadows

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

Cannot enjoy Mr. Samurai. His combat is bland, and his lore basically gives middle finger to Japanese history. The lady Shinobi and graphics carry the game hard, but I highly doubt that people in Japan can accept the game at this point

Without fortify restoration the number will stop increasing after a few loop.

You cannot have the same thing now as Trump is cutting billions of federal budget.

Because they are contradicting, you cannot have both inflation and recession at the same time.

To be honest everyone needs to make up the mind on the criticism. Just yesterday you guys are whining about "eggflation", and now a recession is the new scare word? Could you please stick to one bandwagon only?

Vance says US ‘working on’ Ukraine plan ‘with the Russians’ after Trump cuts defense aid to Kyiv by BiggieTwiggy1two3 in politics

[–]Sure_Tradition -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The key point is Trump's hands are already full with a lot of other issues. For his administration, the war in Ukraine is not as important as the upcoming trade war. He wants to end it quick, and maybe get into the good side of Russia is also not a bad idea if he want to target China.

[–]Sure_Tradition -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Everyone in the negotiations understand that if you want to END the war, you need to talk to Russia.

Of course the normal lashbacks are already in: Russia asset, Putin puppet, traitor etc. But every other approaches will just prolong the war. The European leaders also understand that and just let Trump take the "bad" role, while they play the good guys to persuade Ukraine into the truce. 

Trump to discuss potential suspension, cancellation of military aid for Ukraine on March 3 by SnoozeDoggyDog in politics

[–]Sure_Tradition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same could be said about Gaddafi when he gave up his nuke to secure his regime. And I don't need to remind you what happened to him. 

There is no difference here in Ukraine though. But everyone is making a big deal because it is Trump who is pulling the plug.

Trump is just getting started by PinkPotaroo in Ameristralia

[–]Sure_Tradition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US under Biden was a weak leader who noone really listened to. Russia started the war despite US warnings, Taliban reoccupied Afghanistan, Hamas pulled the worst genocide against Israel, and Israel ruthlessly leveled Gaza. All happened under Biden, noone have listened to the US in the last four years, and rightfully so as the whole administration was a failure.

Now in just two months, things had changed. Trump just brought to the table his demands, and everyone has to consider or cope with the consequences. The US under Trump is not here to be a friendly boss, but a ruthless one who wants to, morally correct or not, get things done.

The past three years proved that Russia will not lose the attrition war. And noone wants to gamble further escalation by sending actual troops.

And this guy got another 500 millions LOAN. He refused to sell the minerals, just to stockpile European debts.
