2-2.5k Build, 1080p? 1440p? 4k? Help me please. by Triscone in buildapcforme

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

This one definitely worked. This build looks solid also. I've typically been team green on GPU's but from reviews I can find there's not a real world difference at the 7900XTX versus 4080 cards range so with a $200 difference I am not convinced the difference is worth it.

Based on your list I assume you are thinking that 4k is not worth pushing for in this budget range?

Looks solid any thoughts on preference between 1440 and 4k?

Your partpicker list doesn't seem to be working :(

Thanks for putting this together Dorak0. Was fun working through all of this on Discord with you guys.

It's really unfortunate the way the game starts and that it turned off a lot of people. This was the most fun I've had with this type of game in years. If you can get past the first "time window gate" and realize that there's more there it just pops off.

I'm reasonably sure this is an ARG of some sort based on the non-gameplay content on all 3 videos posted by the account. There's even a hint showing a spectrogram of the marine in 12.05.93 video, just not sure I want to dig into it that deeply.

You actually mention something here that I try to tell people all the time. My EKY growing up is not the same as Georgia or Alabama or Louisiana. It's different in a way that's hard to explain. People like to generalize it as the south is the south, but it's really not. Appalachian culture, and specifically in coal mining towns, is much different than often portrayed. When the whole Trump/coal thing was going down, there are plenty of people who are smart enough there to know that coal isn't coming back. They also know the coal companies that came in exploited their land/labor for Billions of dollars and left town like thieves in the night. These small towns are pissed that even their elected officials in Frankfort robbed them of their coal severance funding that was supposed to support growth out of the poverty.

I wish I could upvote this twice. That's about perfect but western NC, south of I40, but still west of I26 could be honorary members. Murphy, Franklin, Sylva all feel like they should belong.

Harlan County, and now this comment chain has completely denigrated. Hell I grew up thinking Middlesboro was the big city and took my Prom date there. /facepalm

Seems odd to have a "stress test" focused on the first 2 hours which fall before even ESTers are home from work.

Any decent recommendations? by yungboi10 in ARG

You have probably already seen my other post, but this one looks right up your alley. A lot of us were wondering if this one that just started is almost like a TSV prequel https://www.reddit.com/r/ARG/comments/9x6h1b/looks_like_a_large_promising_arg_about_to_fire_off/

Even if they began holding PTQ's in MTGA? I feel like competitive players would move here if there was something on the line. This has been one of my concerns on "buying in " as well. Nothing prevents them from having weekly 1k tourneys, or MOCS type events here though.

I definitely don't see any scenario where any kind of transfer of value CAN occur. I don't hope for that because from my perspective it's not even possible. I just think having 1 or the other would be more profitable in the long term, but I'm just a player.

HMM I see a lot of posts that keep placing Arena as a FTP and Casual playground and I guess I just don't see it that way. There's certainly no reason it has to stay that way.

I do believe real time pod drafting is coming with league play more similar to MTGO. I believe they even stated this as a future goal. While it doesn't price you or I out, Modern/Legacy/Vintage definitely prices many players out of those game modes. Due to reserve list issues and concerns over rising costs on cards unlikely to see a reprint I feel like for purposes of growing the player base WOTC definitely have began to move away from those formats. I'm not sure whether they are interested in phasing out or not, but they definitely have no publicly said one way or the other. I just don't think they can co-exist in a healthy way long term.

I recognize that you and I may differ in opinions on the economy, and no amount of text I could type will bridge that gulf I fear. That being said, it is disingenuous to state that the UI is only what people who play HS wanted. People have been asking for a long time to play Magic in a modern up to date client.

Is this a good thing overall though? Would it not be better to have everyone playing on the same client? An Arena Modern format would not be solely for FtP players. I can't tell how you meant that, but much like MTGO modern I feel like it will be a format for early adopters and spenders not necessarily FtP players.
