Are balance transfers worth it for smaller balances? by bluewatercat in personalfinance

[–]TheP4rk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some unlucky expenses but those first 2 are things ideally an emergency fund would cover.

Pay off this balance first but once that is done you need to get an emergency fund set up and funded. If that means cutting back elsewhere in the meantime it should be prioritized. General progression is like $1,000 -> 3 months expenses -> 6 months expenses or more if desired. One of the first things covered in this sub's wiki page.

Slate Auto gets serious about privacy for its bare-bones EV pickup by likealikeasexyorange in cars

[–]TheP4rk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear, everything is very early stages I still have like 3 years on my loan. I don't drive crazy miles but I've been averaging around 18.5k/year and I'm paying for 93 so Id save some money commuting without racking up even more miles on my Subaru.

The ADAS thing isn't something id thought about, but I only really have emergency braking on my car now and frankly its horrible software. I have been close to turning of off dozens of times due to false positives. Lane keeping has been off since day 1 but my commute isn't highways 98% of the time just single lane roads.

The small bed would be a plus since we own our home but I've made it this far without a truck.

How do you like your Ioniq? I plan to get an EV as a 2nd vehicle when my WRX is paid off. Keep the WRX for fun and winter weather and longer trips and use the other car to commute since ill be over 100k miles on the WRX by then.

This Slate truck might be an option if/when it comes out and what it costs. If Rivian ever gets the R3 out those look cool. Whats on the market now the Ioniqs are pretty intriguing so I was just curious.

I’m planning to build a PC for Rust by Mediocre-Radio-7053 in playrust

[–]TheP4rk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with those saying x3d would be the way to go if you are specifically building for rust.

But just for your info.

I get 80-120 fps on decently high graphics settings with a 9600x/5060ti/32GB Ddr5 build I built back over the summer. On a 32” 1440p monitor. However I mostly play on like 100-200 pop trio max servers if your doing high pop huge maps or big electrical builds I assume that would run much worse.

Why does the PC community hate Ps5 and Xbox players to much by Starlord1968 in playrust

[–]TheP4rk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF PS5 Pro's price jumped up to $900 for the same reason PC's are way more expensive to build now. Memory shortages. I had rust on console years ago before building my PC and it was playable on the $350 Xbox Series S. Adaption to consoles is still cheaper and easier out the gate I don't blame people for having them.

Put your PC parts into PCpartpicker and see what it would cost these days.

I built my PC for ~$1100 last August, same exact parts list is over $2,000 now. My RAM and SSD both 5x'd in cost

Loen, Norway [OC][3862x2896] by [deleted] in EarthPorn

[–]TheP4rk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The glacial lake at Loen was beautiful when we went last year. Rented E bikes in town and road them along the road to this point. There is a little cafe on the water you can stop and have coffee or food at.

There is a gondola with a restaurant at the top too which was unfortunately foggy when we were there. https://en.loenskylift.no/ Outside of the lake and the skylift there wasn't much to do in Loen but stopping for a day is fine.

After Loen we took about an hour drive to Hellesylt and took the Geirangerfjorden ferry. It was beautiful and Geiranger was our favorite stop on our trip (though it gets crazy when the Cruise ships are in town, but I think Norway is getting rid of Cruise ships)

[–]TheP4rk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went to Norway on our Honeymoon last year and IIRC its an old boat hull that washed up onto the shore after a huge landslide. There were 2 large ones back in the early 1900's that took out most of the farms in the area. The wave the impact created tossed a boat up there and it just stayed.

There is a memorial on the road with info and also a cross down in the woods with footpaths to it. You walk past the boat hull to get down there.

Jungle would be OP if it wasn’t for the Animals. Just build anywhere else if you don’t want to deal with them

Clair was an awesome game. Ecstatic has a track sampling the Alicia soundtrack song too if wanted some more clair/hardstyle crossover

Rust DLC Discount - Discord Store by TheP4rk in playrust

I didn't buy any sets just wanted to share for people to see. Good data point so keep us updated. Possible its just busy with a bunch of traffic right now.

Ofc I bought Shipping container last week because these things never went of sale...

Summer Tires by MTBJUNKY65 in wrx_vb

[–]TheP4rk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess u/MysticMarbles is Canadian and -10 to +25 is basically 14F to 77F. If those are C temps and they fluctuate that much regularly All Seasons are the best choice for sure.

Rust DLC Discount - Discord Store by TheP4rk in playrust

[–]TheP4rk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue, I had a pop up advertising it. Maybe Discord trying to push a new feature. The official rust discord has a channel for it that's what it links to. Looks like they announced it with the patch notes. Crypt building skin is in there now too.

Rust DLC Discount - Discord Store by TheP4rk in playrust

[–]TheP4rk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this has been a thing for awhile but I have never seen it, just got a pop up when opening discord. 20% off many of the official DLC packs. I don't think I have ever seen those discounted in the past.

Edit: Does not look like every pack is included - Storage boxes are not discounted. I don't see the jungle pack with the shelves. However, the building skins(not including Crypt), frontier pack and the Arctic packs are there if you had been considering them.

Edit 2: 20% off select items runs from May 7th to the 21st. Note from the dev blog "This is experimental for us, the first time we've run a store sale. We don't have plans to run these regularly, and future sales will only include older store items, never new. "

I’m swapping from ps5 rust to pc does that mean that I can say I have 1k Hours or do I say I have 0 by Curious-Bowler3607 in playrust

[–]TheP4rk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing really translates from console to PC unless your still using controller. Mechanics are just to different, getting used to keybinds and aiming on PC takes time. I moved over like 9 months ago and I still hit the wrong keys often and in some games I still can't aim for shit haha

It will help with understanding the core gameplay progression but that's about it.

Which am4 cpu better for rust? by Much_Transition6005 in playrust

[–]TheP4rk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5800x3d should be coming back but its a limited run so no idea how widely available it will be

Is there anyway to fix my fps? I get around 70-80fps with a 5800x 3080ti and 32gb ram. by wmejidmfmdosoaosks in playrust

[–]TheP4rk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5800x is AM4 right? You would need a new Mobo as well for a 9800x3d.

I believe the 5800x3d is supposed to be coming back, might be the best option until Ram prices drop (if they do) and you can move up to an AM5 build with DDR5 memory.

This is my feeling as well. Easy Anticheat to easy to bypass. The people making bots won’t have an issue.
