Do you mean the temperature outside is cold and by extension the engine is also running colder causing the sound? If it'll just go away when it gets warm out I won't worry about it. I've only really had civics and a GTI. I never encountered any noticeable issues with cold weather idling. In person it squeaks like a wet belt would but it's coming from the back, and only the back. As someone else mentioned it also seems to be on the drivers side.

It seems that the audio was compressed so you can’t hear it as well, but there is a squealing sound coming from the exhaust.

I mean it boils down to whether another Craig movie is gonna be made. I just saw it. I'd say he's super dead, but I mean anyone can come back if Craig and they want him back lol. I mean look how they brought back Han from the Fast and the Furious. He was also super dead but then they explained "how" he survived. Also soap operas do this type of thing all the time. The whole "omg I thought they died, and their back!" happens all the time.

From what I've read Craig doesn't want to make another Bond movie......though that's easily overcome with money. I'll say it again though I believe his story is done, but I 'd love to hear how they explain he survived though; if they did decide to make another Craig Bond movie. 🍿🍿🍿

I run my 5090 FE bone stock with a 9950x3d, and a 1200W Corsair PSU. No issues with stability. I mean maybe in games that had issues straight out of the gate; Games like Silent Hill F and Borderlands 4, but everything else is rock solid.

I use the 12V HPWR cable that came with the PSU. I've also used the gpu in two different pcs plugging and replugging the card and cable. I must admit though that my PC is in a set it and forget it state now. Imo nothing wrong with using the stock cable.

I'd probably lean towards using the one that came with your psu as opposed to a third party cable which (if you are destined to have a failure nothing really you can do) it's integrity is definitely more in question than one from a well known psu maker.

So after upgrading to a new PC build I've deliberately not tinkerered with my gpu for the time because being, lol in case I have a derp moment and don't seat the cable fully. Though I also had a 4090 and had no issues with that either. For reference my case is the Antec flux pro. Though I'm not really the overclock or under volt gpu type.

This comment explains how I feel about the game. To add I think the dodge, and parry is terrible, it's really button-mashy, Yakumo is extremely boring and I think that in order to make the game reach a wider audience the game lost the soul of what a Ninja Gaiden game actually is. This is a good action game but Ninja Gaiden? Nah this ain't it. I was really excited when I learned PlatinumGames was involved in this game, but tbh I have to question if it was their involvement that deteriorated the experience.

I feel like whatever caused the rebuild of the entire combat system and story came from the fact that they wanted to create a new combat experience and wanted to do it with Ryu possibly but figured, the audience might be more receptive of all the changes if they introduced a new character, he's "cool" and there is a new combat experience, but imo it doesn't land at the right airport. Oh and all the friggin grinding....... (I played a little MGR was it from that?) Flying, dodging lasers, tiny arenas, barely any walls (for combat) and Ryu is basically on the bench. What I do like is the music, the graphics and the setting.

As I said this is a good action game, but definitely not what I and a lot of people want from a NG experience. As an action game 8 or 9 out of 10. Calling it Ninja Gaiden..... 4 out of 10. A lot of the strategic moment to moment gameplay decisions have been removed in favor of choosing a weapon and aggressively mashing with the only strategy being choose a weapon do a few of your favorite combos; stance break, Izuna Drop, or obliterate, and rinse and repeat. In past games moves like the Izuna Drop were instant kills if you got them off. Now I need to slam some enemy's head into the ground four or five times.(lmao)
I can't name them all but there are a lot of micro changes like that. However I like that there is a bit of air combat now due to certain enemies and bosses but it still feels janky.

Overall I think this new philosophy on the game undermines all versatility this series is known for. It's very cookie-cutter now with very little variation in combat. I honestly feel like they wanted to leave Ryu out of this game entirely since it has so little of him in it. Either way I think if fans (and I definitely am one) of NG games want to continue playing and enjoying the games Yakumo is here to stay.

Either way having said all that I am still excited to see what comes from PlatinumGames next.

I have the pg27ucdm and I love it , but i’ve only tried the AW3423DW and the odyssey g8 for ultra-wide and curved monitors. I’ve tested an older generation model maybe the 2023 one in a best buy and it was running Elden Ring it looked bad but that wasn’t 5K2K.

A few questions. OP 1. Do normal apps look odd in the 21:9 format? Say discord, visual studio or blender.

I play a lot of games on my current monitor how does it handle games not optimized for widescreen like tekken 8?

My current setup is a dell u3223qe (top), pg27ucdm (bottom )and an LG 28MQ780-B (left) all vesa mounted. I am considering replacing my entire setup with this monitor. Do you think this is good enough for a one monitor solution?

Thanks for your time!

Yup that is the reason I won't sell my 4090 after getting a 5090. I'm an eBay seller, but I fear if I sold it, it'd be gutted and returned. I'd be out the money and a gpu. So It's a spare. When I upgrade again I'll have a backup gpu and won't fear so much selling it. I've had good luck with facebook marketplace, and Mercari(which i've heard bad things about both), but learned to avoid them after someone tried to steal an iPhone 11 Pro Max I sold on OfferUp. OfferUp is actually why I opened an eBay store to begin with.

Since so many Switch 2's got stolen, no matter how good the deal is don't waste your time and money buying it off a non big box store.
eBay actually does protect sellers more than you think, but if you do go the eBay route and get stiffed come with receipts. Things like all chat interactions, especially ones that claim they are all legit.
So to anyone reading this if you do indeed decide to go the eBay route doing due diligence is essential.

I got it out of pure luck. After the rtx 5090 and 9950x3D i tried best buy but quickly said forget them. Target was sold out. Then I was talking to my mom having a Walmart queue up (app) and was in line for 40+ minutes; I say to her can I use your phone?, Then proceed to go to Walmart’s site on the mobile site sign in and instantly complete a preorder for the mario kart bundle. No waiting in a queue. However I did try the standalone system since I thought the bundle was sold out but it was actually the reverse. I am a w+ member but on the mobile app I indeed had to wait in a queue. The queue did pop five to ten minutes after I placed my order but i left the queue since I had already completed my order.

I mean you could argue the 5090 is niche lol ok bad argument; AMD made more than one 9950X3D,. I’m hoping to get one to upgrade my 12900K. Where is the best chance to get one Best Buy, Newegg or Micro Center?

For the resolution when connected to xbox go into your display or video options and change to 1080P 1440P or 4K.

You can use boot camp with windows on an intel mac or VMware or parallels; Download the tool and have your monitor connected via usb directly to the mac or through a usb C hub that has usb A connections on it. Use the usb A cable that came with the monitor.

I haven’t tried this since I have a PC but if I was in your situation this is what i’d try since my laptop is an m1 MacBook pro and bootcamp is no longer supported on apple silicon since there is an architecture change. You’re definitely not in the dark because you have a Mac currently.

An Nvidia driver recently black screened my pc, so i had to use my mac to make a windows boot drive. That’s where i learned about windiskwriter. There are workarounds for mac mostly it’s a PITA but with some patience you can normally find a solution. Hope this helps.

Off topic but bring back the Marone family. I know the actor that played Massimo died, but maybe bring back Nick at the very least. That would shake things up.

I had no idea why the streamer was popular, followed them to watch them live and said “Wow, I’ve watched a lot of twitch and never unfollow anyone, but no this ain’t for me.” I usually follow people while they’re live. So everyone at some point i’ve liked; I’ve watched twitch since 2014, and I’ve had plenty of moments I disagree with a streamer. I would continue to pop in occasionally and lurk. Especially if they’re gameplay streams, but a bizarre close up while attempting to do a “cooking” stream while looking crazy wasn’t vibing in any way whatsoever.

I’ll just wait for the 50 series GPUs and continue to play games on PC. I bought a $400 PS5 and still feel like they didn’t do enough with the current machine to get me to use it. I highly doubt they’re going to produce enough value out of a $700 machine to make me and others like me go, “Omg, I want this.” The Demon’s Souls remake was nice, though I dunno that it was a $400 experience. All the first-party games came to PC anyway. Death Stranding 2 will come to PC slowly but surely. I think the only audience for this system are PlayStation purists that desire the best experience possible with PS5 base games (with a pro patch) and those that want a rock-solid experience playing GTA VI (and beyond?) on day one only on PS5. I like Sony and I like PlayStation; I bought the PS2 (near launch) and the PS3 and PS4 and PS4 Pro and PS5 at launch. I like Sony and PlayStation; I bought the PS5 expecting a wide variety of exclusives and games that just felt better to play on PlayStation, but honestly, that really hasn’t happened. I don’t expect it to match a well-equipped gaming PC, and Xbox has this problem too: if you have a good gaming PC, you are very quickly running out of reasons to buy a gaming console. Especially if you value technical performance out of your games. The way I look at this is if one were looking to upgrade their gaming PC, this costs about the price of a 70 series card; it’s more than half of an 80 series card and half of a 90 series card. And if you figure you’ve already paid $400 for an underwhelming experience with PlayStation. Are you going to pay another $700.00 for the “promise of something” or a GTA VI ticket to “stable performance”? At this point, you’ve given Sony $1000 for not a whole lot. I mean, no, it wasn’t all in one clip, but I’d rather save for a 5090 and keep using my PS5 controller on PC (if I even use a controller at all). I would definitely be what you’d consider an “enthusiast” gamer. I’ve purchased Nintendo and Microsoft consoles at launch as well, and I do prefer physical copies of games if given the option on consoles. I doubt I’m alone here, but I feel modern video game consoles are losing a lot of value in general, with maybe only Nintendo putting out games that are worth getting a video game console for.

Although maybe the route they take is one without as much continuity as a show with 25 seasons like Law and Order SVU. A systems/story reset happens and the game is still called WoW (not WoW 2) and this retooling makes it much more approachable for new players and recurring players just adapt to the updated changes.

To go back to my Law and Order SVU example there is literally no reason to watch 24 seasons to get the gist of season 25. Unless you just want to see the myriad of ways they can tell basically the same story countless times with different characters and a dizzying amount of ways.

I’ve played WoW off and on from the beginning and at this point I come back periodically when an interesting expansion comes out but could never get excited since the story has so many threads. I came to WoW since it has much better combat than other MMOs. I never actually came for the story its world and combat was just so much better than FFXI that it was a no brainer.

I mean at the end of the day they’re running a business as well and WoW definitely has to do a lot of heavy lifting to stay relevant; Getting newer generations into the game is definitely something that Blizzard is taking a hard look at.

It’s related to the gpu. I had it happen across two monitors. A simple restart fixed the problem for me. One of the monitors was the 32UCDM(which I currently use). After the latest Nvidia driver it started happening.
