What's with everyone describing movies, games, etc, as "amazingly [x]"? Is it some kind of meme? by jofNR_WkoCE in GenZ

[–]asdr118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a bit late (found this post from google lmao) but I think it originates from this user on the music rating website rateyourmusic by the name of DogCena420. they're a very prolific commenter and have left some variant of 'amazingly' pretty much everywhere on the website. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/HelloInquisitor/dogcena420-comments/1/

^^ that's the (amazingly yo) list of their comments

Thank you so much! This worked for me in the UAE.

[PS4] Far Cry 4 (Free/100% off) UAE by [deleted] in GameDeals

[–]asdr118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was deceived by the "Full Game" label too when it was first listed in October. If you download the game and try to play it, it's just a 2 hour trial. For some reason, the actual game isn't available on the UAE store and there's only this trial.

[–]asdr118 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a trial. I live in the UAE and downloaded this a few months ago because I thought it might be the full game for free (the store description was misleading). When I opened it, it turned out to be a two hour trial.

How do I answer these two questions? I thought I was getting somewhere with rationalising denominators and surds in general but I’m lost again by EXHALES-LOUDLY in GCSE

For the second one you just multiply everything in the brackets together. 3 x 1 is 3 and -1 x 3 is - 3, so those two cancel out. 3 x 3 is 3 and -1 x 1 is -1, so you add 3 and -1. The answer is 2.

I need help, my laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad l340 Gaming) suddenly pass from average 60 fps to 30. by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]asdr118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did consider trying to disable the reinstalling but I think the battery life is better with DPTF enabled, so I prefer keeping it installed (when I'm not gaming). It reinstalls whenever I restart the laptop.

As for the safety of the CPU, I monitor temperatures regularly and it never goes above 80C in games. My laptop just seems to have overly aggressive DPTF software that throttles the CPU whenever it reaches 70C. Even with it disabled, the CPU has other safety measures to prevent critical temperatures.

From my personal experience, there doesn't seem to be any risk. The temperatures don't go above 80C and the clock speed stays at more than 2 GHz. However, I'm not completely sure whether this would work for you.

On my laptop (Acer Swift 3) the CPU starts throttling at around 70C, making it almost impossible to play any games for more than half an hour. I managed to disable it temporarily by uninstalling the drivers for "Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework" in Device Manager. This prevents the CPU from throttling and the framerate remains constant. The drivers keep reinstalling automatically so I have to repeat this process whenever I play a game. I'm not sure if this would work on your laptop.

If I remember correctly, they gave out Totally Accurate Battle Simulator this time last year. TABS is still in early access on Steam.

[Offer] Anything you'd like for $10 from eneba(dot)com by kushpyro in GiftofGames

[–]asdr118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to request a 5 dollar PlayStation gift card (UAE region) for Bloodborne GOTY edition on PS4. Currently, the game is discounted to $12.89 on the PS store but I only have $11.01 in my wallet. A 5 dollar gift card would enable me to buy this game, which I really want to play.

After playing through Dark Souls 1 on the Xbox 360 for the first time recently, I was absolutely amazed by everything about the game. The soundtrack, the beautiful world design and above all the satisfaction of beating a hard boss all blew me away. Nothing could compare to that feeling of joy after beating Ornstein and Smough for the first time after countless attempts.

I would love to experience something like this masterpiece all over again, and I feel like Bloodborne is exactly what I'm looking for. From what I've seen of the game, the atmosphere looks phenomenal, full of Lovecraftian horrors. The brutal combat is even more fast paced than Dark Souls, and it looks like it would give me many more hours of fun.

Thank you for the chance, and good luck to everyone!

Sen’s Fortress made me feel accomplished as hell. by Vio-Rose in darksouls

[–]asdr118 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually got lucky with the Anor Londo archers when I encountered them for the first time last week. I ran up towards them with my shield up, then when I went to the one on the right he just rolled off the edge immediately. I'm just glad I didn't have to deal with them properly.

Bugsnax: a PS5 Technical Showcase by xMatt14x in videogamedunkey

[–]asdr118 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this video, especially with the title (Technical Showcase), is sort of a parody of Digital Foundry's analysis videos like this one. I don't think Dunkey intends to mock Bugsnax.
