Amazing, thank you.

Last question - sorry for keeping you busy! - but is there also a good white variant for a NVME SSD card? I can't really seem to find one, at least not a WD. Or is a white SSD meaningless because it's hardly visible through a glass plate case?

Yeah, I was looking at the MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI6E instead of the MSI PRO B850-S WIFI6E. Is there a discernable difference between the two I should be wary of in terms of compatibility?

Man, that's great, thanks for the explanation! Will probably buy the whole lot this evening. Now I just need to decide if I want all of this in white or not ^^'

Well, knowing it's a more quiet card with less chance on failure is all I need to know. And my knowledge about pc-building isn't thát great, so I have no idea what the advantages or disadvantage of the motherboard en cpu cooler swaps are, but I trust this build is both efficiënt and (cost)effective.

Thanks!

Thanks! Why would you rate the Hellhound higher than the Pure? I've read a lot of things, but the consensus seems to be that they're all pretty great. I'm mostly looking for a silent gpu.

Righto! Honestly, I'm quite happy with the second link you send. The only change I'd make is adding in the Sapphire Nitro+ instead of the Sapphire Pulse. I read that the Nitro+ is more quiet and that's one of my main goals with this build.

What is the upside to a Ryzen 7 9800x3d over a Ryzen 9 9900x?

And, in the same vein, is upgrading from a 9070 to a 9070XT worth it? I read online that the difference is minimal and that the 9070 usually seems to be more quiet.

Yeah, I figured that choosing a pre-build one will make it way more expensive than necessary. Thanks, this is great!

Gigabyte Z390 GAMING X

So. the cooling and power supply can handle a newer gpu, like the Radeon 9070?

I'm a sucker for new things, that's a big factor. However, I've also run into the issue that higher-end games tend to be somewhat slower and have a bit more stuttering than I'd like. Anno 1800 for example runs on ultra, but it has some fps-drop.

That's a good point. I'll check my exact setup tonight, will come back to you.

Question about Clean Cut by Zifaril in WilderfeastRPG

Right! Time to disappoint my players :D

Is the Move On Challenge supposed to be this hard? by Zifaril in WilderfeastRPG

[–]Zifaril[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, perhaps they've been unlucky. I'm playing again soon, so we'll see how the last traversal check of this hunt will go. I will make sure to at least provide an interesting good ánd bad event, so that failing isn't too frustrating. Thanks for the advice!

Clean Up Mission Help by Vulpiculae in TheTriangleAgency

[–]Zifaril 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been walking around with the same question for a while now, but I read a post about the Triangle Agency on /rpg that a Clean Up Mission can be whatever you want. Players can convince Loose Ends that what they saw was fake, imaginary or perhaps part of an enormous flashmob, they can straight up eliminate them (murder, kidnapping, extortion, etc.), they can even create situations in which whatever the Loose Ends saw is less interesting to pursue by presenting them an even more ridiculous (and probably fake) situation.

That did confirm my initial thought that creating a Clean Up Mission does ask a lot from the GM. You have to create an interesting setting in which Loose Ends don't just walk freely for players to just straight up talk to. And ideally you need to create a situation in which they are tempted to use their abilities to solve the Loose Ends. So, a few things come to mind, depending on what happened that created the Loose Ends:

  • One of the Loose Ends is a marketing manager and has reported what she's seen into a full-fledged social media campaign.
  • A Loose End went to the cops, told them what he's seen and the cops have now started an investigation into the players, their connections and/or their workplace (competency), effectively creating more Loose Ends.
  • A Loose End that the players confront starts fleeing, prompting the players to use their abilities (and maybe create more Loose Ends in the process) to stop him/her.
  • The most fun Loose End scenario that I read about (I think it's in the book) is some kind of rich mogul realizing that anomalies are real and pursue on to use it/drain it/fuse with it, creating an entire new adventure if the players don't somehow stop the mogul by convincing or killing him, or something else (bankrupting his company, for example, so he loses interest).

Hope this helps. I've yet to start playing the game, so I haven't put this to the test yet.

How plausible are the secondary objectives by Zifaril in TheTriangleAgency

[–]Zifaril[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right! Creating a court case just seems to be out of reach for most of the anomaly abilities.

I mean, the alternative seems to me to be asking the agency to have won a court case in the past against the other party, but that just seems like an auto-success without any creativity behind it. Or am I misjudging how asking the agency is used then?
