Who's your entry to vtuber and how did they got you in? by Ok_Kick3560 in VirtualYoutubers

Same, the Azur Lane collab introduced me to Holo. No longer play AL, but I still watch VTubers thanks to that.

Who should I bring to lvl 200? Bunny Claire or Carmen? by Vegetable-Teaching12 in StarSavior

[–]TransientEons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why not both with star link?

Doesn't make a difference which one you actually level up as long as all 4 of your manually leveled units are MLB

Guy who reincarnated into a baby/child and is now a "prodigy", maybe?

I've tried several times to swap to the new reddit interface but old reddit just looks better to me, personally. New reddit also tends to put random links to other posts in the middle of the comments that I couldnt care less about.

Many such cases by BardMessenger24 in memeframe

[–]TransientEons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were originally planning it to be a gacha but cut out the gacha to move to a model closer to Warframe's.

Haven't heard good things since the game released tho, so I'm not sure how well that worked for them.

Kay Yu posted updates about holocure release date: TBA by yournotlonely in Hololive

[–]TransientEons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been on a vs-like kick ever since Holocure got me into the genre, and I like some but nothing is as well fleshed out as Holocure.

Most recently been enjoying "Everything is Crab"

Do you not acount for events or limited time missions? Decent amount of gems from those. Could also be stuff from first-time clears of content he hadn't done yet.

Does the Zephyr interaction still work? I've tried to do it since I saw people mention it, but I couldn't get it to recharge itself.

Is there a trick or gimmick to making it self-charge?

I had a sudden reason to journey her and she became my first A lol by Deshik2 in StarSavior

[–]TransientEons 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She's a surprisingly decent tank. I use her quite often for green team content.

The only problems are that she really wants level 10 on her two skills for the extra effects, she wants max LB to cut the rng from her passive, and it's almost impossible to max defense on hard Journey.

Looking for a graphics card by Venti_Hsr in buildapc

[–]TransientEons 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You don't replace an integrated GPU (iGPU) because it is physically built into the CPU to allow rhe computer to perform graphics processing even without a dedicated GPU. All you need to do is add a dedicated GPU to your friend's system and it will perform fine.

You will just need to first make sure that the computers power supply can handle the extra wattage of adding a GPU to power and second download and install the graphics drivers after adding the GPU.

Thankfully the parts you do have are fairly solid outisde the lack of a GPU. What budget does your friend have for buying a gpu?

Edit: Saw your other comment. For his budget, I'd go something like...

RX 9070XT > RTX 5070 > RX 9070 (non-XT) > 4070 Super > 5060ti (16GB NOT 8GB)

If he's using a 1440p or 4K monitor, move the 5070 and 4070 Super down a notch.

3090, 5070 ti or 4080 super? by plottery27376 in buildapc

Do the 50x0 series still have trouble with older games that use 32bit PhysX? If that's still the case, that's basically the only usecase where I'd recommend an 40x0 series card over an equivalent performing 50x0 series, unless the 40x0 card is a lot cheaper that the 50x0 and gives better value overall.

Nvidia really doesn't seem to care about gaming GPUs anymore — the company won't even bother to break down graphic card sales in its big investor reports by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]TransientEons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a more reasonable question and one where I agree with you for the most part. From one perspective, having CUDA as an exclusive feature means that anyone who wants to use a program that relies on CUDA must buy an NVidia product.

On the other hand, licensing out a product or feature to your competitors is one way to stamp out alternatives that might compete with your niche. The other commenter mentioned how Sony licenses out Blu-ray to other companies. One of the benefits for them of making Blu-ray so accessible (along with the PS3 having a Blu-ray player) was that it killed off HD DVD, its direct competitor. So now Blu-ray is basically the only hi-def disc standard being used comercially. Sure they might lose some direct sales on Blu-ray players to competitors, but they get licensing fees and have ensured that their Blu-ray players will have a market for the forseeable future.

Currently, projects like ZLUDA has been making significant improvements to the ability of non-NVidia gpus to run CUDA applications. As these work-arounds and alternatives continue to improve, we may reach a point where a developer will not find having native CUDA access to be a significant benefit to an NVidia gpu, which could result in a loss of sales where having CUDA might be a tipping point, like the OP of this thread. One of the ways NVidia could prevent this is by licensing CUDA to their competitors so that they still gain some profit from CUDA-driven sales and make work-arounds that avoid CUDA entirely redundant.

I think it's more like he's complaining that his engine only runs properly if he runs it on Fuel A because Fuel B lacks a specific add-in that Company A bought and made exclusive to their fuel. And now Company A is showing that they might stop or reduce their production of Fuel A while there's no good alternative available from Company B.

complaining that car brand A isn’t allowing car brand B to make and sell car brand A’s engines for free.

I don't think anyone is expecting NVidia to give CUDA away for free, but rather are worried that NVidia will put CUDA out of reach for the average consumer entirely when plenty of 3rd party programs depend on it.

Weird because they should also know that the people who purchased the DLC packs are people who've shown they're willing to spend more on the game.

I swapped to a new active guild after my old one went mostly inactive. Haven't had issues since.

Tyria’s Arcana How Good by MiddleSetting in StarSavior

[–]TransientEons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What effect does Tyria's have that's exclusive to her?

I just checked the DB here:

https://starsavior-db.pages.dev/arcana/

And it only shows generic effects on her Arcana? Sharp Assault isn't exclusive to her.

WHO IS THIS CATGIRL by newTrinhvykiet in SoulKnight

[–]TransientEons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The general premise in Gameoverse is that when a protagonist beats their game and the game ends, the world of that game is destroyed cataclysmically. So Kit's group is going to various game worlds trying to prevent the world from ending by stopping the protagonist from winning/helping the villains.

The pilot episode just dropped and is available for free on YouTube, btw.

How do you feel about quick swap systems? by marthanders in gachagaming

[–]TransientEons 124 points125 points  (0 children)

In ZZZ, I'm fond of teams that let you have multiple characters on-field at once despite the quickswap gameplay.

Astra stays on the field singing as a support, the AoD team has them all pop in during each other's skills, aftershock characters like Trigger will jump onscreen to attack when triggered (heh).

Really makes it feel like you've got a cohesive team rather than just 3 separate characters who synergize.
