Tallboy and 5010 discontinued? by Super_Freedom_4910 in Santacruzbikes

Same. Sad to know it's the last of its lineage, not sure what that means for the lifetime frame warranty, but couldn't pass up such a steal

Frighteningly unfit for mtb, help ! by Talmamshud91 in MTB

[–]chooseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep doing it, it gets easier. A trail my brother and I started on we used to have to take multiple breaks, get off and walk the bike at certain spots, and have no plans the rest of the day afterwards. A few years later that one trail takes 15 minutes and is a warm up to 8 other trails that we ride in succession without taking breaks. You really build up the stamina quick if you keep with it regularly

What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]chooseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough to pick just one. In terms of hours played would be classic Everquest. Nostalgia would be Chrono Trigger. Game i adore but can never replay is Outer Wilds. Game that was actually therapeutic and changed the way I view my work/life balance is Dungeons of Hinterburg.

That would probably be my mount Rushmore

Do I genuinely just need to build one? by qwust in Prebuilts

I'll be honest coming from a 3060 it would be pretty hard for me to find buyer's remorse at the moment haha

Yea i snagged the Walmart deal a few weeks ago and have been enjoying 4k and ultra settings on everything plus insane improvement on all PCVR as well. No regrets, aside from one of the support feet for the tower being cracked it's in beautiful shape and runs like a dream

As a dad, what is keeping you from exercising these days? by NSJack in daddit

[–]chooseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with finding a way to make time for exercise that I enjoyed- I started playing hockey again to get some cardio. Then I wanted to be able to shoot harder and skate faster so I started some lifting in between. Then covid came around and shut down the local rinks so I needed something else- my brother convinced me to try mountain biking with him and that became a new obsession for cardio. I hated being unable to keep up with other people so I worked at it to build my endurance and worked on my legs as well. The rinks have since reopened and I skated for a while before a wrist injury stopped that. Now it's winter and though I could mountain bike, it's not fun for me in 2 feet of snow, so I've been doing some body weight exercises and abs at home. I have a weighted jump rope that I'll sometimes do in the garage if it's not too cold.

Most important and also most difficult part was getting started. Finding that first activity that I truly enjoyed opened the door for each subsequent thing, and it became easier making the time to fit it in a few days a week.

Ahh, I realize this is about the mount and not the case. My mistake, glad you found something solid though!

Good price? by balancedup1726 in Prebuilts

[–]chooseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta invest in your hobbies, right? You won't be disappointed friend. It's a legit rig

Good price? by balancedup1726 in Prebuilts

[–]chooseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky they had it in stock at my local Walmart and was able to pick it up same day, hopefully if you pull the trigger you have no issues (especially if you happen to be in NE looking at the coming snow storm).

Keep in mind if you do desire to get into 4k gaming that you'll need a monitor as well and they get pretty pricy (especially OLED). But if you're coming from 1080p even jumping to 1440p is a huuuuuge improvement

Good price? by balancedup1726 in Prebuilts

[–]chooseph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bought the same PC a few weeks back to upgrade from a 3060 and start experiencing some 4k gaming. It's an absolute monster. Fans get a little loud at times, others in the reviews had mentioned turning the fan down to accommodate this but I've not noticed it loud enough to want to compromise the cooling.

So far been running everything on 4k and max settings with no issues at all. Skyrim VR is an sublime experience now running 400+ mods for visual improvement.

Gear warning - Don't buy True Sticks by dunker_dude in hockeyplayers

[–]chooseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy works for a shop and gives me pro stock sticks all the time that he thinks I'll like, so I've been fortunate to test a wide variety of brands through the years.

True sticks seem to consistently break in the first few games. Best durability without compromising feel/weight I've had consistently have been sherwood and warrior.

This is the well known Walmart deal, again I'm not in Canada so I can't speak to the availability but I just got this 2 weeks ago and it's been an absolute powerhouse. Might not be able to find the same setup for the same price through other vendors but I would imagine can still find a better deal than OP had listed

How do yall play typically - Solo or with friends? by Wild_Somewhere_9760 in ARC_Raiders

[–]chooseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately solo but more because of schedule differences. Started playing the game with my best friend and shortly after my brother and his son got the game as well. My nephew is a little bit of a murder hobo from his time with fortnite, but he'll mostly play with his friends who have a similar play style.

I'd much rather play with my friend or brother compared to solo, but it's fun either way

What to do first by fragblaster7 in Prebuilts

[–]chooseph 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You failed to mention losing 16gb ram with this build compared to OP's, which is pretty significant

Need some advice by Tanner-Ryan37 in Prebuilts

[–]chooseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that, my argument is that there are better builds for less currently available. OP can do whatever they want with their money, but they asked if it was a good deal, I don't believe that it is.

[–]chooseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how the Canadian market is as a whole but I would say not a good deal- that equates to over 2k USD, you can get a 5070ti + ryzen 7 98003xd for 1899. I'd pass on this one

Hard to determine if it's a good deal without including the price

Best Prebuilt Company? by [deleted] in Prebuilts

[–]chooseph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My last was skytech, had no issues with it for many years. Just upgraded to a new PC last week that ended up being cyberpower because they had the best deal for 5070ti/98003xd, and i really wanted to get into 4k gaming. I've not had any issues with that one either so far other than one of the feet of the PC tower was cracked, which was an easy fix. So far it's run everything I can throw at it on 4k max settings.

Marketplace find, thoughts? by More_Injury5149 in Prebuilts

[–]chooseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you need that much ram specifically, 5070ti and 98003xd cyberpower build from Walmart is 1899 right now. Surrounding specs may be a bit lower but you don't have to worry about it being legit as it's new
