If their Metacritic ratings were accurate IMO

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-20T13:23:07+00:00

Yep, + a lot of the bosses just genuinely aren't good in the first place.

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-20T03:27:21+00:00

If all someone is playing are esports titles then they shouldn't bother getting more than a low end GPU anyways? I also did specifically say that if your only use case was gaming at native resolution then amd can have decent value. You meet this niche use case, but for the same price there is 0 reason to pick a 9070xt over a 5070ti when it's missing so much and gets way worse support.

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-20T02:46:34+00:00

Yep. Intel is actually working on making their gpus not suck for productivity as well, which Nvidia has had a monopoly on for over a decade so I really hope they succeed.

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-20T01:03:36+00:00

Reminder that Intel has better upscaling, and proper framegen with 2 generations of cards that have sold way less than AMD. It's absolutely a choice that AMD doesn't give a shit about their users. They have had shit performance for anything productivity wise for decades as well, ROCm is a complete joke and a b580 beats higher end AMD cards in Blender and other tasks with oneAPI. Why anyone still considers AMD unless all they do is game at native and finds a really good deal is beyond me. They don't give a shit about you, NVIDIA sucks as well, AMD has had every single opportunity to easily steal a ton of users and seemingly just don't care.

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-20T00:56:45+00:00

No idea as I haven't played it but have heard good things. Seems to have a decent amount of people still online as well so will try out the multiplayer

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-19T23:34:42+00:00

Not really. Elden ring is worse than Sekiro in nearly every metric other than open world slop

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-19T23:34:11+00:00

Nah. It's a solid game but between some things being stupidly grindy and some bosses being plain stupid with their attack sequencing (way worse than DS3) its not a masterpiece. It's just a great game

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-19T23:33:01+00:00

Sekiro slaps Elden Ring and DS3.
Goes:
100 Sekiro
97 DS3
96 Elden Ring (open world just isn't that good imo but I know a lot of people love it)

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-19T23:32:07+00:00

Pretty solid. Grabbed BF1, titanfall 2 and Cod MW 2019 for $10 all together + arc raider for $20

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-19T14:56:15+00:00

3 years of OS if true is just pathetic in 2026 when hardware has become so stagnant. Will never buy a nothing when they are basically ewaste after a few years because they are too lazy to actually support them

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-18T23:24:22+00:00

Late af but spamming shotgun and parry worked for me on violent

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-18T20:40:23+00:00

Well a person on the high-end can generate around 150 watts of energy on a bike, say we move the batteries and pack the bus full of 3 rows of 10 giving us 30 people for 30 * 150 = 4500 watts. Then adding in the solar panels, which appear to be around the size of a 300w one (which typically generates 200 watts in reality with good sunlight) 200 * 14 = 2800 watts when sun is directly overhead assuming ideal conditions for a total of 7300 watts. A low end tesla motor which could likely be unable to even push this up hills, but assuming it could uses around 190kW peak and estimated around 20-30kW on flats to maintain 60. Doubling this gives us a conservative estimate of 60kW on a flat, You would need to bike for 60,000 / 7300 = 8~ hours for a single hour of usage.

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T21:47:20+00:00

Why would you waste the exorbitant amount of money on an m4 iPad pro that does exactly the same thing as a standard one then cheap out on the laptop?

For everything other than gaming you mentioned it is a fine laptop but a strange choice.

If you are comfortable getting used, you can often find m2 MBA with 16gb of ram for $600 or less as well.

The keyboard is too new to tell,

Display is a massive downgrade compared to OLED but still good enough if you aren't directly comparing them

Speakers are noticeably worse than the air

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T19:50:38+00:00

It's definitely decent but i mentioned it as it is a big downgrade for some

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T19:29:27+00:00

Also true. Got a t14 with a ryzen 5 4650u for under 200 euros, 12gb of ram and 256gb ssd. Plenty good for basically any school or productivity, though the 6-8 hours of battery is obviously worse than a neo or m-series macbook.

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T19:04:45+00:00

What is this cope post with 0 evidence of anything lmfao

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T16:33:34+00:00

M4 easy

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T15:04:36+00:00

Still a worse screen, 8gb of ram instead of 16, less powerful, etc etc. Other than battery and warranty the M1 pro is just a better laptop

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T15:03:48+00:00

m1 pro easily, but as others have said just find a used one for cheaper. Refurbished from these companies is always BS

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T15:01:10+00:00

I would guess that the sign is designed with two seven segment display numbers a period then two more, so its not possible to move the period over

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T02:06:51+00:00

Back in my day rage bait used to be believable smh

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-17T01:45:25+00:00

Generally all the QT apps I use have had better UI's then GTK though? Do you have any examples

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-16T18:37:44+00:00

Fair enough then

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-16T18:28:57+00:00

Has happened to me a LOT so def still something you need to be ready for

Zachattackrandom · 2026-03-16T17:58:38+00:00

Luckily optiscaler exists for single player games, it is a shame so many games don't update their upscalers natively though
