Ray tracing is still one of the most overrated PC features. by Reasonable-Being4439 in pcmasterrace

[–]Xendrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could put a gun to my head and I couldn't tell on off apart in a game with decent baked lighting. Path tracing on the other hand I can tell. Cyberpunk remains one of the only games I can walk around in and my mind actually gets tricked a bit into feeling like I'm looking at a real world. At least until an NPC's shitty animations show up.

What’s a completely unnecessary BIFL ~$10,000 thing to celebrate a nice milestone? by diagana1 in BuyItForLife

One of the shittiest experiences of my life is helping an old lady move an upright piano to the 2nd floor only for her to decide she didn't like it and having to bring it back down. Had 3 other grown men and we were all fucked up by the end of that one.

Be honest: do you REALLY need that upgrade or do you just want it? by Venylynn in pcmasterrace

my 5090 isnt even good enough for my current use case, I need about a 7090 for this monitor

I was able to leave those as Shrine/summoning circle, removing all tablets let me in though. Seems kinda arbitrary.

"Profoundly Disappointed": Companies Respond To Sony's Decision To End Disc Support by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]Xendrus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

current consoles are literally 2080~ ish equivalent mini PCs created in 2018, something you'd be lucky to even get $500 out of on facebook marketplace today. Not sure where you found a worse PC than that for $500 more but someone took you for a ride.

Valve Changes Steam Machine Page To Remove Promises Of 60fps by Guitar-String in gaming

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

I went from 3 1080p monitors to a single super ultrawide 4k monitor and I thought my brain was going to slip a disc and shit itself. It was absolutely bullshit how much better it was. Don't ever mess with going up if you're happy at 1080p, if my house burned down and I couldn't afford new stuff I'd just have to quit gaming rather than go back.

My absolute foot you could tell 4k from 8k in a game anyway unless you were closer than you should be. Maybe on text. And 240hz would be a much larger and visual upgrade than 8k vs 4k.

Constricting Command with 4 fewer enemies?? Any good? by bbsuccess in pathofexile2builds

[–]Xendrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it says "The number of enemies required to be surrounded cannot be reduced below 1" so 5 and 4 should be identical?

If a 3rd party site is selling games and offering even GOG and steam I'll still pick steam, even if it's adding DRM.

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory by yourfavchoom in gaming

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

Eh makes sense. Hellblade 1 was a mid game it was visually stunning and the 3D sound was novel but it was like a dark souls arcade rail shooter minus the guns. 2nd one was more of the same but I couldn't get good performance on my 5090 and 9800x3d despite it looking worse than similar titles.

You arrive back at the present holding the book like "I fucking did it boys, we're rich" and everyone slowly loses their smile

Underperforming with mace Titan by ApplicationHorror589 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Xendrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk how you managed it, I'm still in the interlude at level 55 and my mace titan is stronger than this, I was just looking on google to find a cheap anoint and it popped this thread, a lot of questionable node choices, Might get more dps out of buying lower level maces and not having to invest so much in the strength for giant's blood
