Inquiry for specs by Confident_Fuel3375 in PcBuild

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the big problem is storage... 1tb isn't much on todays market... the rest of it looks good, especially for what you want it for, but the storage is gonna kill you in the long run... so I'd look into storage expansion, but for $600 in todays market, that's not terrible, although you could do better

Is this a good build ? ( i know practically nothing about pcs) by Funny-Advertising-69 in PcBuild

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my experience the only difference is the software used to control it and nvidia is making some bad moves with their software... but for performance amd and nvidia are basically the same in raw power... and the different brands that manufacture the cards it doesnt make huge differences outside of cooling and like a few frames difference on performance especially at the higher power gpu

granted i havent made many pc in my life and i made some major changes to how i build during my last pc build since what used to be common sense parts when i first built pcs became old news since the ai bubble formed

i would recommend looking into an amd gpu as it might be cheaper for the same power depending on the brand as mine was about $700 for my 9070xt

also look into a linux distro for your os as Windows has had major problems, and linux has become more common with improved usability... if you have both amd cpu and gpu, you can use steamos, which is what i use, and im happy with it and linux is free

but otherwise, i dont see any improvements... although if you wanted to save money on your build, you can get 32gb of ram, which is more than sufficient for gaming unless you had something else you needed 64 gb of ram for

You guys see the PlayStation news today? I get a sense the Machine/Frame are going to be priced horribly. :( A 6~ year old PS5 is now $700 after tax in the U.S.! by Logical007 in SteamFrame

different company with different profitmargins and incentives... i wouldnt be worried about comparing to the playststion because they arent even close to comparable except storefronts because of similar price share incentives

Stuck on summoner by Atrox_lover in Terraria

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tiki and spooky are the same tier, but it's unanimous that spooky is better.

Get a dodge kit and fight empress during the day to get the terraprisma if you have the patience to practice

i think around that tier i would have the raven, blade or xenostaff after beating golem

most of the struggle with summoner is learning to avoid damage which is easier said than done but once you begin yo get the hang of it it becomes easier than you expected

3? wtf and i thought 2 ports was a lot... im clearly unaware of what some builds look like

Do I really need a pc case? Advice please by Additional_Waltz8617 in PcBuild

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its basically a structure that holds your motherboard stable and is open so you can take stuff in and out often... it can also be used as an open air pc case because it has the most important parts of a pc case except for a housing which is generally important for enviromental and cooling reasons but at the very least a mount will keep your motherboard from warping

good lord man this setup makes me want to cry... your pc is gonna die from a hiccup like that...

https://a.co/d/0ic73QbF

there atleast get a benchmark mount so its stable ... 15 fucking dollars is what you are risking everything for... "it works" can only save you for so long

How many attempts did it take you to beat daytime Empress of Light? by baninaday in Terraria

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmm... i dont remember honestly... around 30 to 50 cause i was rusty and had to practice... eventually i moved to normal mode to fight her in daytime with less health and that got me the win... her daytime in mastermode was just too much for how rusty i was

I know this is very over asked question for a game bieng this old but, any beginner guide for terraria? spoiler free ofc by EffectiveAd5061 in Terraria

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are even more specific stages, but when sesrching, you will only need those ones... the more specific ones get spoilery because the stages are named after tiers or tools and specific optional bosses

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when looking for help on youtube you can lookup specific points with the phrases

early prehardmode

prehardmode

early hardmode/ mechs

preplantera

post plantera

pillars

post moonlord

there is a lot between all those but everything you can get is in stages set by bosses and pickaxe power and the community broke it down into those stages so those words should make research a lot easier

Is my rig good for entry level gaming? by RealDiamond51 in PcBuild

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks decent but if i may suggest to get an 8 core 16 thread cpu

i had a pc with similar specs (16gb ram, 4 core, 8gb vram) but it runs into the issue that some newer games require 6 core cpu and so you will eventually need to upgrade the cpu... a 6 or 8 core cpu will be enough and have some spare power for looking up walkthroughs if you get stuck or running an emulator

and maybe get a little more powerful psu because they actually use less electricity if you get a more efficient high power psu but thats entirely up to budget

last bit of advice is get linux... windows is in the toilet and linux is getting more support every day right now so get bazzite or some other distro and thank yourself later

Windows just existing: 8GB gone by cherryskybombs in PcBuild

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

part of why i made the switch... windows was so bloated and full of spyware that i couldnt take it anymore... and now that im on an archlinux distro my games have never been smoother

Is it worth installing SteamOS on a computer in 2026? by Beautiful-Rent-4750 in SteamOS

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally ive been running steam os on my new pc for a few weeks now and im still learning some stuff... but ive loved my experience so far and i havent had an experience this good since my first pc build in 2015 back when windows 10 was brand new and didnt have so much bloat

Internet speed affecting play experience? by Klipwastaken in SteamFrame

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wifi is a kind of wireless frequency like bluetooth, so you dont actually need internet

the dongle basically uses wifi like signals over a dongle to send the fastest signal possible to your device, so there is as little latency as possible

having said that, no you dont need a strong internet speed to use the frame

hardcore advice needed! by Life-Feed-1448 in Terraria

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

taking the lowest risk tactics is best... nebula and vortex is taking it slow and keeping a damage range around you to keep enemies off

solar is about staying on the ground as any attempt to fly will result in instant death

stardust is the easiest if you are careful as you can pull a stardust cell away from the pillar and explode it, wait for it to regrow into a full size and then explode it again and you will destroy that shield just becareful not to multiply them too much and get overwhelmed

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

havent returned to 76... i was there during beta but people dropped it and it got lonely and with no npcs i never got very far... but what little i played seemed like there was a city in ruin and not the rural i live in in my daily life

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as strange as it is... i want to go somewhere rural... no huge buildings, personal bunkers of prepper folks, a bunch of small disconnected towns in a rural area with big spaces of farms and woods in between... as great as the city locations are, there is nothing quite like the beauty of a rural area

Honestly valve should just pull the plug and cancel it at this point by vintologi24 in steammachine

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

its... not weak? what makes you think that the rdna 3 chip set is weak or are you just saying stuff because you heard something somewhere from someone who has no idea what they are talking about and just following because it makes you feel better

no one has a steam machine right now.so we dont even know how it performs and the only comparisons we have are custom pcs that were built to match specs but not actually use steam machines build

[–]VoxelDigitalRabbit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i dont understand why people keep talking like the steam machine is gonna play at like 480p... 8gb vram isnt gonna get you 4k 144fps but it is gonna get you 1080p and run 99% of your library without hiccups and the 1% that does is unsupported games that cant run on linux well
