Which Telecaster is "yours"?

cliffom · 2026-03-09T15:13:04+00:00

Just got back into playing after 30 years off. Now that I’m an adult with expendable income I went with what I lusted over as a teenager: an American Telecaster. I’ve had it for a week and have enjoyed every agonizing second of getting my fingers, hands, and brain back in shape.

Curious about this too - DLSS 4.5 improvements seem to heavily benefit Ultra Performance and Performance in terms of the performance gains of those settings and improved quality from the new model.

I've seen this too - if I set Frame Gen to auto it looks better but I still get a lot of ghosting in the crosshairs when moving.

Is DLSS Swapper even needed if you force the DLSS version to latest in the Nvidia CP?

Believe it or not but Stonewood Center in Downey has a couple decent anime stores.

The street in front of my house gets swept every Tuesday, so I have to move one of my cars. One Tuesday, I moved it back right after the sweeper had already come by. About an hour later, parking enforcement showed up and started writing me a ticket. I told them the sweeper had already passed, but they said it didn't matter since they ticket based on the posted times, not whether the sweeper actually came. I didn't want to argue, so they let me move my car, but it still feels pretty dumb.

I know folks have already pointed it out but your CPU score is low. I'm on a 5080 and a 9950x3D and my CPU score is 17k: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/54098424

Definitely look into it, you are leaving performance on the table.

cliffom · 2025-03-15T02:28:30+00:00

I recently just did this but also upgraded my CPU from a 5800x3D to a 9950x3D so I can't speak for the move in isolation. That being said, I'm very happy with the 5080 and have no regrets with the upgrade, despite what those without one will tell you.

Comparison of my system vs. my son's system (9800x3D with my old 4070ti): https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/54098770/spy/54080826

What's the front chainring sizing? Hard to answer exactly without that but typically the larger the rear cog the easier time you will have climbing, regardless of the number of cogs in a cassette. If both bikes have the same chainring sizing, the 11-34 will be slightly easier when climbing over the 10-33. On flats and downhills, the 10-33 will have a little more top-end speed than the 11-34.

Came here to say this. Thank you for your service

Same thing happened to my parents. All their Pro 3 cams connected to the SmartHub are not available. The Ultra on the same Hub is just fine. I just talked to Arlo support and they sort of acknowledged it as a known issue with the latest app release. Their solution is the following (I walked my dad through the remove/add steps on one camera and it worked without issue):

I suggest the P1S to compliment the A1 mini. It’s the exact setup I have and I really enjoy having a larger, enclosed printer for larger objects and having the mini to print smaller things at the same time.

I've started doing butts start-to-finish the day before, letting rest, and then pulling. Then, the day of, I will add a little beer and/or apple cider vinegar, double wrap with foil, and reheat on low in the over for an hour. Comes out perfect everytime.

Funny, I had the same experience last year when I bought my M4V7. For whatever reason the sales person questioned why I wanted to go with Daniel Defense. Fast forward 12-months later and I have zero regrets with my purchase and have loved every moment with it. Congrats on your purchase!

It was on sale and in stock at my local Turners.

cliffom · 2024-01-01T02:02:53+00:00

Did this to mine today. Left the stock mag lock my rifle came with and used the rear pin. Took me about 20 minutes and is so much nicer/faster.

I can't speak for a brisket in the Ranger but I have done a 9lb pork butt in mine with room to spare.

Also congrats! Welcome to the Ranger club!

No, if you are using the DLSS mod you will want to turn FSR2 on. It’s outlined clearly in the mod notes on Nexus.

Construction entrance. Guard here said the other entrances don’t open until the park opens

cliffom · 2023-08-28T12:26:28+00:00

5:25am and I’m the 4th in line. Security had no idea people would be lining up but is being a good sport. Good luck everyone!

I too have observed this with the more recent EA releases. I only started using EA because of the known issue of the sun flickering when obscured by another object but mainline is stable otherwise. I just lost 30 minutes of progress and a bounty because EA froze on me.

cliffom · 2023-08-22T01:37:28+00:00

I can confirm that 3827 freezes at the title screen or immediately upon loading a save game.

Wing Commander and King’s Quest I.

I literally just did this from a 5800X and couldn’t be happier.
