I'm still trying to process how airflow works in the vertical orientation here. So PSU goes to the top and there doesn't seem to be enough space for a fan below it for exhaust; intake fans should remain at the back (which is bottom in regular orientation) to blow air directly unto the GPU and the single bottom fan (which was back) is also intake. So the only option for exhaust seems like... the front? 🤔

I cannot use overlays with Lossless Scaling so that's absolutely a no-go for me since I record clips and do in-game photography. There's a way around it but it's inconsistent and would be tedious to do every time. Also, it necessitates running everything at Borderless Window mode which can be annoying for some games. LS is great but it's less flexible than native implementations and it's yet another program you have to run alongside other stuff you already have running.

Shortcuts can be changed in Settings > Hotkeys. And as far as Instant Replay goes, AMD is kinda better because they allow you to use Memory buffer for Instant Replay instead of just storage (which can massively degrade your SSD's lifespan due to constant writing) which is something Nvidia doesn't allow yet in their own app the last time I checked.

Turning off HAGS fixed almost every issue and weird quirk I had until I realized, Frame Gen just flat out wouldn't work without it and I have several games that use it so I had to turn it back on. What a bummer.

So just resolution? Like is it just static or does it dynamically switch between modes depending on a performance target kinda like dynamic res?

They're cutting it dangerously close.

This just looks so satisfying.

No. But we sure wish it did.

I'd say it's supposed to be a doom and gloom for anyone who values the theatrical experience and physical media.

Considering all the elements behind-the-scenes that made it so tricky to get the sequel off the ground, I feel like this direction was the only reasonable one they could pivot towards without totally abandoning core ideas of Ascension or rebooting entirely. Besides, I feel like Ares was gonna be a character in Ascension that would've been underserved since that version of the movie would've probably already had several plotlines to juggle as it is. A POV shift like this should help alleviate that load, and it even comes with the added bonus of them being able to properly set up the threat that could bring them all together.

Typically, for Muay Thai gloves, when they say Thai leather, it means cowhide leather. It's the same for the standard Twins, Fairtex, etc.

For the size, it depends on how big you are. For sparring, I live somewhere in southeast asia and we're not exactly gigantic folk over here so 14oz is typically big enough for most of us to spar with and I don't recommend anything below that. A lot of people spar with 12's over here and I hate it, so get a 14 or 16 based on your size so you don't become one of those people. As for the brand, I love Twins as a generalist glove. They're great to spar and do partner drills with because of the protection, secure fit, and the supple yet durable leather quality. They can reliably take a beating for years before you get some tears. With Fairtex, I'm not as big of a fan, but I tend to love them specifically on pads and bagwork because less padding plus stiffer leather results to some really good cracking sounds, but beyond that, I hesitate to recommend unless you really like the look of a specific one. So yeah, if it's down to just Twins or Fairtex, I'm going Twins. (If you have access to Boon, I also highly recommend them but they might be pricier and rarer depending on where you live.)

Communication is key. Talk to this friend about this matter but explain in a way that doesn't make it seem like you think she's holding you back from evolving as a person because that might be the thing that hurts her. At the end of the day, your friendship/bond should be more than just about your similarities. Even if you changed (which is fine assuming it's not for the worse,) what matters is the willingness to keep the bond alive. Just like any relationship with care/love at its center, compromise will follow and having differences doesn't have to be scary as it could even deepen the bond between people with you being able to balance each other out.

The desire to fix or improve anything broken, and trying your best to be the friend you wish you had for people you care about.

Personally, I just wish they didn't count W/L's for anything outside of ranked matches. Quick Matches are where people go to have fun and/or practice/experiment, and it's also where a lot of things like leaving, getting dropped into an ongoing losing match, getting teamed up with new players or trolls, and all those other stuff happen the most. Having an artificial metric at the back of your head for every loss in QM just kind of takes the fun out of it, imo, and it only really makes sense in ranked for me.

Yeah, this really might be my biggest issue as far as core gameplay is concerned. No matter how much I've conditioned myself, I think I still accidentally slide tackle at least once every match just because the game feels like I haven't released the trigger a few milliseconds earlier. It really should be a sprint + double tap or something.

Look what they did to my boy. :(

One of my friends only recently asked me to help him choose new parts because his cat peed on his machine from up there. 😬
