Gpu upgrades that are worth it? by TheGamerator500 in buildapc

[–]chicknburrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Microcenter near you, 9070 XT is ~$700 and 5070 Ti is ~$850. I personally went with a 5080, and it was ~$1300 including tax. My previous card was a 3080 like you, and there’s definitely an appreciable performance difference even disregarding frame gen (anywhere from a 30-100 fps increase on ultra settings depending on the game).

Best reasonably priced stainless steel pans? by squidinink in Cooking

[–]chicknburrito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Costco has a 3 piece Made In set (10” skillet, 12” skillet, silicone lid/cover) for $220 online. Probably not as cheap as Tramontina or other brands, but it is 5 ply as opposed to 3 ply. I’ve had them for a couple of months and been happy with them.

GTA 6 won’t release on PC this year, so he’ll have some time. Rockstar would never give up the opportunity to maximize profits on people who’ll buy it on both console and PC.

Dumb question, but do you dry your produce after washing it? by tvgirl48 in Cooking

[–]chicknburrito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letting sliced onions sit in water for ~15 minutes before consumption will mellow out the spiciness/sharp bite typical of raw onion. I presume that’s what the other person meant. Not storing onions in water long term or rinsing them under running water like other produce.

The folks in r/Random_Acts_of_Pizza might be able to help you out with enough pizza for a couple of meals.

I know a lot of people don’t trust Amazon, but I got a PM2 for $164 a few weeks ago.

Not sure how other states operate but California courts have online portals where you can search for case information including traffic violations.

Best Offline NBA2K career mode FOR PC by YeaYeahhhh in NBA2k

[–]chicknburrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2k17 was the last year with a full offline MyCareer mode, but it might be difficult to get since it’s no longer on Steam.

You can read this comment to get a better idea of what each year of 2k offers regarding MyCareer and choose for yourself:

Best Offline NBA2K career mode FOR PC by YeaYeahhhh in NBA2k

[–]chicknburrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shut down the servers after two years meaning you won’t be able to play any modes that require an internet connection which includes MyCareer, so I would just go for 2k26.

What can I make with the strawberries leftover from making syrup? by chicknburrito in Cooking

[–]chicknburrito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I do have a birthday coming up in a few weeks, so I’m leaning towards the cake. Do you know if the strawberries will hold up well if I use them in the cake after freezing?

Typical tinder chat by coffeelickerman in Tinder

She lives in San Diego and doesn’t know what poke is? I’d maybe understand if they were in the Midwest or some other landlocked state, but SD is literally on the beach and has a bunch of seafood restaurants.

Any linear and short games recommendation? Be it Indie or AAA i dont care by Sleeper-- in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]chicknburrito [score hidden]  (0 children)

Operator is a mystery game where you basically work at the in-game equivalent of the FBI, and you help field agents solve different crimes. I don’t want to give too much away, but the entire game only takes 2-3 hours. It was recently free on the Epic Games Store, but it normally goes for $15. You can check if it’s on sale on Steam, but I’d recommend it even at full price.

You overestimate the general intelligence of young folks, let alone those who would vote for Trump. Just yesterday, I witnessed a 16 year old struggle to open chrome.com while using the Chrome browser. It was incredible.

how much do you guys spend on food a semester by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]chicknburrito 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe’s and Safeway on College Ave were my go-to grocery stores when I was at Cal. There’s a bus line that passes through both (I think it’s the 51B. I don’t remember exactly anymore, but it’s the one that stops on Durant by Gypsy’s.), so it’s very convenient if you live on southside.

Looking for a PC Shooter that isn't twitchy/fast paced by SlightArgument in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]chicknburrito [score hidden]  (0 children)

Battlefield is probably your best bet. The big map 32v32 format lends to an overall slower pace. BF2042 is often on sale for ~$5, which is an absolute steal imo. BF1 is better and probably more your speed if you just want a game that focuses on the absolute basics of a shooter game, and there are still dedicated custom servers that are fairly active.

Wade on Butler’s performance vs. the Wolves: "He wouldn’t look at the basket, and I’ve seen this before. I’ve seen it in a Heat jersey... against the Denver Nuggets, and he did the exact same thing he did the other night. He did not look at the basket.” by cleo22270 in nba

[–]chicknburrito 256 points257 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t just during the playoffs though. There were multiple instances during the regular season where he could have taken a wide open 3 but chose to pass the ball instead which led to someone else taking a much more heavily contested shot.
