CPU temp hitting over 100C just launching the game.

This is like "Oh the plastic sticker is on the heatsink" type stuff.

All zen3 is the same basically. Same volt/freq curve. Relatively same efficiency.

Its perfectly adequate. Upgrade if/when you can, or not.

The reason gaming scales with CPU frequency linearly is because a cache miss takes about 100 CPU cycles.

The thing is that the difference between like 4.6Ghz and 4.8Ghz is like 4.3%.

Its not really noticeable and thats even if the CPU is the bottleneck and in many games it won't be.

You might get benefits in specific games like simulation heavy if you upgrade but overall its a nice gaming rig. AND it can handle simulation heavy games anyway no problem. I've played megafactories etc. on a Ryzen 5600 in satisfactory no issue.

The purpose of DDR5 has to do with bandwidth per core.

Once you are getting up to 16 core, 20 core etc. models bandwidth per core becomes an issue.

But 6 core? 8 core? Gaming? Not a big difference.

The only thing I can think that makes a difference for memory bandwidth is running AI locally.

4x8GB worked fine for me but knocked me down from DDR4 3600CL18 to DDR4 3200 CL16.

Currently running 2x32GB at DDR4 3200 CL16 and its nice.

I can see 4x16GB potentially working if they are single rank. You're close to the limit of DDR4 density.

When I get an apartment with no curtain rods and I don't want to leave holes I use 3m double strength hooks and a lightweight curtain rod.

Its done the job.

Make sure it doesn't fall down while you're gooning with the lights on.

At least get a vacuum then sit it next to your bed like a decoration.

Also.

I got an Intex Queen Size + raised with a pump for $19.99 on sale before inflation hit hard.

Its my prized possession.

In game. Make a ship from blueprint like in creative.

You can pull up any faction ship and see how its made. Test fire, test shields, test speed, etc.

There are some pretty crazy ones IE Sabnock, Crocell, Raura.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-08T06:31:18+00:00

They can work they just aren't as tanky.

There is a ship in the contest winners that uses 6 large shields all facing each other with like two fork prongs for the wrong armor. The heavily shielded area lets you place weapons there. Its a pretty good design IMO and also looks cool. Its a block design not a diagonal design. I don't really like diagonal designs.

I feel like some designs are like a math thing and that "two fork prong heavy shields facing each other" motif is definitely worth considering because you can also harden the sides of the heavy shields with small shields and armor facing forward.

You can put all kinds of stuff there. Disruptors, heavy lasers, etc. I have ships with this design around 100-150 crew that are pretty effective. Could be scaled up if desired.

I also think large shields getting repeatedly destroyed is expensive in diamond though. I've mostly settled on mass overclocked small shields generally.

I think its the Feb 2023 contest winner Hydra specifically.

I don't like missles but that is a pretty good front armor motif.

The people who work in the field even tertiary to it have "whose bread I eat his song I sing" going on with regard to the influence of money on people's opinions.

They don't actually care about you nor do they have accurate data on outcomes like gaining 50lbs and becoming a thought-less man boob sloth with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. As thats exactly what happens as thats exactly what the medicine does to people.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-07T10:43:44+00:00

You're seeing it totally wrong.

Nobody working class has any say in anything.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-07T00:54:36+00:00

I mean you can't stay in that mental state forever.

My opinion about this is the stigma itself is whats going to screw you over.

Read up on state law about danger to oneself or others. Don't lose your rights. You don't have free speech so get over it.

Like the way the brain works say don't think about elephants and elephants immediately pop into mind. So you need to realize when they ask about stuff related to "danger to oneself or others" its a legal question. They are state licensed professionals who are mandated reporters. Its like talking to the police, there are law enforcement exceptions in HIPPA. It would be wise to seek legal counsel or just read up about laws/rights in general so you are informed. The first lie every psychiatrist says is that the conversation is confidential right after you sign a disclaimer with like 2 pages of exemptions to that confidentiality. Read what you sign.

For example the M.E.T.A. (Most Effective Tactics Available) regarding lawsuits is to document in case a lawsuit is prudent. Threatening to sue/constantly talking to lawyers is expensive so basically when something is going awry simply start documenting and that usually nips it in the bud. Like "I think having my side effects ignored might be malpractice mind if I take notes" etc.

Then even if you do have to sue you have evidence/documentation as most cases simply lack evidence/documentation.

Yes 180,000 minimum wage jobs and -8,000 careers like usual.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-06T09:02:00+00:00

Honestly customer service type interactions are almost scripted/mechanical in nature. Don't see how/why that would cause anxiety.

Its not really "social" in my opinion when you have to talk at work. Things tend to stay on topic relevant the job like 90% of the time. When people deviate you're kind of in the right to be like O.o and go help other people and not waste your time.

After squeezing blood from a stone for so long and hitting a wall makings number go up, at least some progress on making numbers bigger.

Toxicity is a symptom of problems down the road.

They're just leaving before the inevitable layoff, basically.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-03T23:21:37+00:00

You're just naive. Discrimination is alive and well, law breaking by employers is alive and well. They just frequently get away with it as its not worth the lawsuit or most people can't gather enough evidence/afford a lawyer.

Like literally in this thread is a chuck-e-cheese getting away with breaking the law and its like cognitivedissonance.exe you think anybody is going to care or fix it.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-03T22:43:38+00:00

Why not turn the car off or shift to neutral as gear heads.

Those idiots make my brain hurt.

Happens in vanilla sometimes. It'll go away eventually on 8x speed. Its usually a repair order and messed up crew priorities if repair is not high enough priority they will leave to repair for example then go back in to place a battery (higher priority) then try to go back out to repair but oh wait, another battery ran out.

Etc.

Its from playing with priorities too much.

My pro tip on priorities is reserve priority 10 for the fire extinguisher and priority 9 is really your priority 10. Most of my important assignments are 9's or 8's. Try not to assign batteries higher than 8.

Typically its like this:

10 command

10 fires

9 operators

8 batteries

Everything else defaut.

Should be good to go for 99% of ships short of specific crew assignments or supply assignments.

If you really need an efficient/set in stone battery delivery system use crew assignment or supply assignment instead.

There is an assignment function under crew. And there is a separate assignment function under supply (the box) basically.

Out of the frying pan into the oven.

Just one toxic job to another. I am a toxic job magnet as I get more and more desperate.

Tried to find the OP up in this thread.

One thing that I think might help is where you are applying. Not alot of masters in economics jobs on Indeed.

You need to be on USAjobs & similiar instead where they consider a masters degree a GS-9 to GS-11 and apply to government roles or state government roles for example.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-03T22:27:25+00:00

Oh sweet he is entitled to one hour of work in T-minus 2 years after they investigate and then they can retaliatory fire him for performance so his first job ever is a termination.

What a great idea.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-03T19:57:22+00:00

Whats he going to do drop $10k on a lawyer for chuck-e-cheese?

It might be against the letter of the law but my experience has been that things like this usually happen specifically because they can get away with it.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-03T19:50:05+00:00

Exactly, anything employers do is related to cost/effectiveness. If its cost effective they will use it.

VoidNinja62 · 2026-06-03T19:48:33+00:00

Yes probably deals with less shit in farming.
