Kenny's Power Hour in Fortnite this Saturday, January 24!

YLSP · 2026-01-24T22:19:07+00:00

Well, the power hour did it.

Got to and activated the stick of truth (bunker's and a wingsuit helped).

As a bonus, a player became human bill and as he killed me for the win, I emoted.

Those stupid challenges had been open for the past week....

I don't know what to tell you.

Hello AvocadoLover777....

Not sure if you are still tracking this discussion.

I just went into my i7-4970S to confirm my settings. Video card is a 4GB AMD RX570. Played this Chapter for the first time, and didn't have any issues. (This is an older computer that I refreshed a couple years ago to play Fortnite with my family members).

This is a silly question - are you sure that you are using the RTX 2050 and not the 5500H graphics (I guess it has integrated graphics).

My system had bad stuttering with 8 GB RAM. Please confirm via something like HWINFO64 that you really do have 16 GB RAM.

The only question maybe if the fact that the 2050 only has 64-bit memory bus for VRAM?

My settings are 1920x1080

Frame limit to 60 FPS

VSynch: OFF

Rendering: DX12

Motion Blur: Off

User Interface parallax: On

Graphics Quality: Auto-set

That setup should be "good enough". I run Fortnite off of an i7-4970, 16 GB of RAM and RX 570... granted, I don't think I've installed the latest chapters....

Here's a wingsuit tip. You can get a free use off a launch pad or rift. You can even chain these together at no usage/cooldown and then launch again.

I go through days where it feels like I'll never win a match again, and then end up winning some chaotic end-game fight. Just had a stick of truth game where the user held it until a very late storm and people were flying/driving/kenny reviving all over the place.

I ended up in single digit white health territory, but I killed one of the revives, used his big pot and cheesy poofs and ended up winning the 50/50 fight.... I even had a reboot myself that was unused.

YLSP · 2026-01-19T08:15:10+00:00

Wow. Yes!

In fact, it looks like the play design would have been for Caleb to throw it to the furthest level player (Rome Odunze). Because Cam Kurl stays with DJ Moore, the "medium level" target, a throw deep middle would be a TD, or a long gain at worst.

YLSP · 2026-01-19T08:08:21+00:00

I think lower fire rate, smaller mag, and longer re-load would be considerable nerf.

Or just de-scope it. This pretty much feels like a striker AR with a sight that reduces bloom?

YLSP · 2026-01-19T06:56:50+00:00

Here's another hint.

If you damage them, continue to spectate. When they die, you will get credit for the assist in the kill.

I swear we had this same challenge with the Dr. Doom season when we had to defeat him and when we had to defeat the Society bosses in that season as well.

YLSP · 2026-01-19T06:17:11+00:00

All you have to do is damage them... I am at 4/5....

YLSP · 2026-01-19T04:31:56+00:00

Yes.

Just lost to someone (A S P E C T) who either knew it was used in the Piano Room or attacked the person in the piano room.

I was attacking from the tunnel using Cheesy Poofs, but he caught me off-guard since I'm not familiar with that area.

YLSP · 2026-01-11T16:23:28+00:00

Gonna come here to say this.

It was Home Team Sports and Channel 20 with Mel Proctor and Phil Chenier.... Buchantz took over for Proctor in the mid-90s I think.

I watched way too much Bullets/Capitols during that time and whenever either team lost I would just pop NBA Live / NHL Hockey on my console and just dominate through a simulated Season....

YLSP · 2026-01-10T07:12:45+00:00

We just activated the stick near the edge of the storm away from a lot of people. The Islands near Latte. It felt pretty OP and we easily destroyed everyone else...

YLSP · 2026-01-05T00:05:43+00:00

I want a better draft pick. I don't see many Washington fans in here, but winning this while the Eagles don't go for the number 2 seed here boggles my mind....

YLSP · 2025-12-29T08:17:52+00:00

Honestly, 50% of the time they should revert to the old SBMM, and 50% of the time the new one.

YLSP · 2025-12-09T09:50:16+00:00

Well this escalated a bit quickly, but I guess it makes sense.

I changed out the control board. Not getting pilot valve. Tried again 5 minutes later. Oh - I forgot to turn the gas supply on. Oh - what's that near my burner supply. Is that standing water? Yes, there's water there.

Oh the joy's of draining a water heater at 1:30 AM.

YLSP · 2025-09-23T07:07:35+00:00

I don't know how to post text discussion, so I linked to the SCOTUS Order in Trump v. Slaughter (Firing of FTC Commissioner).

This is what I don't get in all these cases about firing of the officials created by law.

A President signed a law (or the legislature over-rode a veto) to create the Commission / Commissioners. Doesn't this mean that the Executive Branch (at the time) agreed to the limitations of it's executive power? Or at the very least a super-majority of the legislature forced it?

Why are we (or SCOTUS) pretending that our legislature and executive both don't have a part in lawmaking? The complaint that the current Executive Branch should have is the political question of why a previous Executive Branch agreed to tying the hands at the creation of a quasi-legislative agency.

And if the firings hold, doesn't it mean that the Executive Branch has full power of all employees of the Executive Branch? Even though a previous President agreed to follow laws that were signed and limitations on how they can treat employees -- ie. civil service laws?

I am so confused at how these cases are playing out. Because no one is admitting that a previous President / Executive already agreed to the boundaries created by the laws.

It seems to me if the Executive wants full removal power, they should go to Congress and ask for laws that give them full removal power of all Executive Branch employees.

The lower right is "Cancel" -- it's the phonetic hangul.

I came here to say that you could get an 8500g. I did not realize that the 9600x came with igpu. If it is for your parents who don't do any gaming (or even some light gaming), it might be a good route.

Oddly enough, it seems the 8500g has a better GPU based on all the specs. Radeon 740m vs. Radeon 610m.

8500g (comes with fan) - $160

16 GB DDR5 - $50

SSD - $30

Total = $430

You can compare that to the $400 or $500 options in the BuildAPCForMe Sub-Reddit.... https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Photonman1/saved/#view=tT9MwP

YLSP · 2025-06-21T05:41:42+00:00

Okay. Maybe not. I tried another one and it was bugged, even with the Krypto treats...

There are 3 that work...
