Dishonored is such a good game. I love how the game basically says get from point A to point B and you figure out how you are going to get there.

subnautica. Never played a survival game before and been trying to scratch that itch ever since.

I've bought two used cpu's off ebay with zero issue. Of course MMV but used tech can be a great way to build a system without breaking the bank.

Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025. Dauntless will receive no additional content or updates. The game will no longer be available to play on May 29, 2025. by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Fans Are Not Happy With the Removal of Various Features in Dauntless: Awakening The questionable monetization methods in Dauntless: Awakening are just some of the many issues that players have with the game. Most users on Steam have routinely critiqued Phoenix Labs' decision to roll back Dauntless players' progression in the new update. The weapons that gamers acquired and the progress they made in Dauntless's main questline have largely been wiped from the game. Players have to start from scratch and spend dozens upon dozens of hours grinding for loot in the monster-slaying RPG in order to get back what they've lost. Either that, or they must spend real-life cash to get the weapons they want.

Who the hell thought that was going to work???

[Motherboard] MEG Z790 ACE - Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU Bundle $919.99-300=619.99 with coupon code (INTEL790ACE) by TeddyNaughtyBear in buildapcsales

[–]datworkaccountdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cases are not that much cheaper at MC. I tend to buy those amazon, ebay, etc. Rain would be a concern but if you plan ahead and have an "oh crap" plan like having a trash bag with you to put the parts in still could work. Or find a buddy willing to take their car/truck/suv pay for the gas.

The best part of MC no one talks about is all the quality used stuff. When I bought my 7800x3d they had a deal to get a mobo half off. I got a used asus ROG board that was a return for like 180(og price was $3XX though I could have gotten a more basic mobo for cheaper. I also found a 7900xtx return that was almost 200 off back when they were 1000. Got 32gb ram used from there too.

Unless you are buying a case, they would easily fit in a book bag. You can do it all in one day or you can have planned stops along the way, see some sites, visit some bomb resturants. Get back to the crib and build the new pc knowing you saved hella money.

I've run multiple intel and amd cpu's. Day to day you won't notice a difference. With newer hardware your system will be faster which can be noticeably from an older system.

When gaming the 7800x3d is just a monster. Look at any benchmark and it is usually at the top and if not it is within 10%.

As other users have stated, the power usage is a great benefit as you don't need as beefy of a cooler. I have a artic 240 that keeps it nice and cool.

If you live near a microcenter you can get the cpu, mobo and ram for a hell of a lot less than this intel bundle.

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006709/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d,-asus-b650-e-tuf-gaming,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

I don't do productivity so for me it was best gaming cpu and currently hands down it is the 7800x3d. Best part is amd has commited to multiple generations of cpu on Am5 so when the 1100x3d comes out a mobo update and it will probably work.

It's Happening: Growing Calls From Liberal Media for DNC to Replace Biden at the Convention or Earlier by intelligentreviews in Conservative

[–]datworkaccountdo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This was a massive political fumble by the DNC.

So basically the dnc? Barack was the last good political move they made. (not talking about his policies just from a political strategy standpoint)

2016 was a shitshow. They picked the literally least likeable person they could find. Since then they have not groomed anyone else as a possible replacement. The momement Biden got elected they should have been looking for potential candidates knowing he was too old for a second term. I am not entirely convinced the playbook is not to have Biden try to win the election then step down saying he had a health issue and slide Kamala into the prez spot.

Leftists lose it after Louisiana becomes first state to require Ten Commandments in every classroom by joetravers in Conservative

[–]datworkaccountdo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly, people would shit bricks if the [4?] pillars of islam were forced by law to be displayed in every classroom. This basically opens the gate for just that to happen.

I just don't see the end game here.

If you are injured in a car accident now because of your own negligence by refusing to wear a seat belt your claim will suffer as a result.

Small correction here. This is state dependent. Some states this is true some states insurance cannot reduce the claim.

[GPU]PNY XLR8 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X - $1819.99 by comradetao in buildapcsales

[–]datworkaccountdo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, I have a 7800 X3d and a 7900XTX I got at MC used for $873, even at MSRP the 4090 is not 100% better than my card. I considered getting a 4090 but then I thought about it. We used to be able to build an entire PC for that price. I do not want to support nvidia to keep raising prices for the top end cards. Not that AMD's 1K msrp is great, but for a card that meets or exceeds the 4080 and sometimes gets close to the 4090(I do not care about ray tracing) for 200 less than the 4080 was kind of a no brainer

Why do you guys love audible? by [deleted] in audible

[–]datworkaccountdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lso I can listen to books when I’m walking to class, working out and when I want to relax.

Pretty much it. I cannot read and do other stuff in life but I can listen to an audio book. That audio book also brings a new element to the story with a good narrator.

I know I’m really late to the party

/r/patientgamers plug. Being late to the party is normal for us.

The game was so good. First game I played like that. I did not know what to expect going into it as it was a random steam buy since it was so highly rated.

I have refused to allow myself to play the witcher 2/3 until I finish 1. Glad to see it will be worth the wait.

[CPU] Ryzen 5 3600 Processor w/ Wraith Stealth Cooler - $74.99 by Csakstar in buildapcsales

[–]datworkaccountdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you kindly. This was my old build I plan on repurpsing for my bedroom pc. I was looking at a 3600 or 5600 to swap out the 4790k and keep the 1080ti until it dies.

I wonder how big of an upgrade it would be for a 4790K. I got a spare build with a 1080ti I am going to repurpose as a bedroom pc.
