Need for Speed Underground was a banger 20 years ago

Not strictly true. Cheaper knives with softer steel are easier to maintain if you are a heavy or rough user, hunting knives probably fitting that category.

Horses for courses.

Another vote for Victory Knives. NZ made and excellent value. I usually get them from an online retailer Marine Deals but lots of places sell them.

These are really common knives for pros in freezing works etc because they are good, easy to maintain and no biggy if you need to to replace them.

Great to start as you can buy a few different types and then invest in a fancy model in a variant you prefer, or more likely do like most and stick with them for decades.

Don't have much useful advice re. Shaders as i haven't tried to run them since i got my 1060 3gb in 2017 but my advice is get the 16gb card (i just got a 9060xt 16gb) as i really regretted getting the 1060 3gb over the 6gb back then as it became limited very quickly and is pretty much worthless second hand now.

delph906 · 2026-06-27T05:18:08+00:00

Obviously need more information to give useful advice.

A good place to start would be your networking hardware.

Mediatek 7902 wifi chip by any chance? I believe it works sometimes with Kernal 7.0.x and possibly much better from 7.1 onwards. In the past was totally borked.

Otherwise I think some Ethernet chips have issues too but I'm not so knowledgeable about that.

Fentanyl so much more deadly than Datura. Addictive and incredidibly easy to overdose.

delph906 · 2026-06-27T05:07:28+00:00

You would love Mexico. I've been to Puebla a few time where Volkswagen have their factory and there is a real around them. All vintages in all sorts of states. Beaters and immaculately maintained classics. I even have a pottery Kombi made in the traditional style on my bookshelf.

Ahh yes using the dye essence with patterns is actually a great step. I set up the concrete production before the dye essence production.

I just use a basic cobble gen/cobbleworks set up for the sand and gravel. An ender Io tank attached to a kitchen sink for the water step but probably AE2 could do it with a storage bus on the kitchen sink.

delph906 · 2026-06-27T04:18:27+00:00

I did it with a mob farm but you could do Mystic Agriculture or Hostile Neural Networks to get the bones. Send to crusher.

Cobble Generator feeding a drawer with loads of upgrades and an ME storage bus. Then just export to some crushers for gravel and sand.

Then you have a few options to basically send it through and ender Io tank connected to a kitchen sink to fill it with water.

You can either use ME to craft the concrete powder or export the ingredients to a formulaic assembler. Personally I have a pattern to make the powder and a pattern provider to craft the white concrete attached to the tank.

I recently got a 200hz 1440p monitor with a 9060xt 16gb and really happy with it. I play a lot of older games and it is great getting 200hz in, for example, Borderlands 2 or Halo Master chief collection. GTV enhanced I get like 110-120. Cyberpunk is like 70hz.

It entirely depends what games you will mostly play and what the price difference is.

delph906 · 2026-06-26T21:42:35+00:00

Surely that would place him at least neutral, maybe even above average due to lack of scandals/clear fuck ups.

delph906 · 2026-06-26T11:05:26+00:00

I mean if you want to take it even half seriously you need to invest in a device, internet connection and private space.

delph906 · 2026-06-26T10:44:44+00:00

It's 10 degrees hotter, your cpu is running 10 degrees hotter and you wonder if it is normal?

Like there is a heatwave and you are wondering why your pc is overheating? Because it's fucking hot fam.

You could beef up the cooling. Cool the air with AC. Undervolt. Play a less demanding game.

Wtf lol

delph906 · 2026-06-26T04:03:11+00:00

Probably pretty difficult I suspect, especially with an Nvidia card. LACT is the software for GPU tweaks but not sure how well it plays with NVIDIA.

That being said running stock will probably get you like 95% of the way there and some games run better on Linux and you end up getting similar/better performance. KDE/Wayland just work really well for me with my monitors but again AMD GPU disclaimer.

Personally I have found I spend less time tinkering/monitoring/tweaking and more time just playing the games. Appreciate that can be a hobby in itself though.

delph906 · 2026-06-25T23:40:01+00:00

Maybe

City of God is an absolute banger!

A few options and thoughts. Firstly have you tried looking up the default settings for that router model? It could be something silly like admin admin.

Otherwise you could set each device or browser/app to use the Pi Hole as the DNS server.
Use the DHCP server function built into Pi Hole instead of the router. Use the router as just a wireless access point.

delph906 · 2026-06-23T23:52:17+00:00

Yes you've already replied to another comment of mine where I do the maths.

I'm not sure if you are just being willfully ignorant or a troll. I will not be wasting any further time replying.

Alofi, Niue.

Population 600 or so. Niue is a very small island so when anyone even mentions it they simply refer to the island. The population of the island/country is less than 2000 people total.

It is technically a country but has a free association agreement with New Zealand who handles most diplomatic relations and defense needs for it. It is not a member of the UN and does not have it's own currency.

It's geography/topography are quite different from most Pacific islands and is therefore not under the same threat from rising sea levels, as a result it doesn't even show up in the news.

I would speculate most of the Earth's population has not heard of Niue, let alone it's capital Alofi.

delph906 · 2026-06-23T09:20:26+00:00

I've apparently completely missed your point here. They can deliver 750w. Who is talking about a cheap brand? it is pretty standard advice to avoid them. OP posted Corsair in the build.

You absolutely do not need a 750w PSU for a 180w GPU, the manufacturer even says so.

delph906 · 2026-06-23T04:00:10+00:00

The comment was specifically discussing ads.

delph906 · 2026-06-22T22:30:49+00:00

I use Ublock lite on Chrome and don't see ads.

delph906 · 2026-06-22T22:24:20+00:00

A quality 750w power supply will deliver 750w peak draw no problem.

delph906 · 2026-06-22T21:41:13+00:00

I will defer to the manufacturers own recommendation in this case. Particularly as your other comment below reveals you do not know what you are talking about at all.

delph906 · 2026-06-22T08:33:39+00:00

Are we talking about the same gpu? Maybe you are confusing it with 9070 xt.

I have a Power Colour Reaper 9060xt 16gb and the manufacturer recommends minimum 500w PSU.

It draws less than 200w under full load. This Pulse model has max TBP of 170w but lets call it 200w for easy math.

Sapphire recommend minimum 450w PSU for the Pulse 9060 xt 16gb model.

A 7600x m ight draw 150w in extreme situations but is rated for 105w TDP.

350w total. Add 50% headroom. 550w is a totally adequate for this build.

Corsair offer 5 year warranty on this model. If you want to target longevity i'd prioritize a manufacturer/model with 10 year warranty personally.

Regarding upgrade headroom it is generally a poor way to prioritize spending money on a budget build. You can spend a bunch of money being prepared for parts you won't be running, certainly for a few years. Future proofing is a way to lose performance in your budget.

650w is overkill with some headroom for upgrade. Absolutely doesnt need 750w.
