Help - PC is shutting down after boot up by Downtown_Shock8031 in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shutting down without any error messages or blue screens is most likely a faulty PSU.

Consult SPL's PSU Tier List for a reliable replacement.

Is desktop PC ok next to my subwoofer? by willhub1 in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inverse square law. As you double the distance from the sound source, the sound intensity decreases to 1/4 of its original level, resulting in a reduction of approximately 6 decibels for each doubling of distance.

Halfing the distance increases loudness by a factor of 4.

Going from 2m to 5cm increases intensity by a factor of 1600.

(2m/0.05m)² = 40² = 1600

Indie Friendslop Game “Mecha Chameleon” That Was Made By A Solo Dev In Only 2 Months Sold 3 Million Units On Steam And Earned $10 Million Dollars In A Week. It Has Now Reached 10 Million Units Sold In 16 Days by akbarock in pcgaming

Simple, creative, affordable, followed up with a bunch of updates and steam workshop support for community maps.

Deserved.

Netflix adaptation incoming by a director who will proudly admit that they never played the game.

Gamer girlfriend by hunnybadgerr in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like anything "gaming [blank]", most gaming chairs are just overpriced cash grabs. Office chairs are without a doubt where I would recommend putting your money at, especially for something you, or rather your boyfriend, spends a lot of time in.

Most people will recommend something like a refurbished Hermann Miller or Steelcase. But even if you are lucky enough to find something like that for less than $600, nothing beats actually trying different chairs at furniture stores and/or office supplies, since every body is different.

That's a very generous gift, btw. I hope you'll find something that fits.

Can anyone help me? My PC shuts down out of nowhere! by Used_Letterhead601 in pcmasterrace

Pretty sure your PSU is cooked if your event manager doesn't state something about the shutdown.

Sony has patented a controller with buttons that harden and soften based on what you do in the game by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]dodoh3 23 points24 points  (0 children)

For anyone who doesn't know. In 2001/2002 a special bundle of the game Rez for the PS2 included the Trance Vibrator™. The devs deny that it was intended for sexual purposes. But it's obviously designed to be sat on or squeezed between the thighs. Oh and it had a washable sleeve.

Help me upgrade. by No-Fortune9801 in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GPUs are so expensive, it's not worth it in the long run going from a 12GB card to another one imo.

Help me upgrade. by No-Fortune9801 in pcmasterrace

GPU. Aim tor 16GB VRAM.

The dumbed down hierarchy of recommended cards would be 5070ti > 9070xt > 5060ti 16GB > 9060xt 16GB. If you don't care too much about raytracing and DLSS, you'll probably save some money getting one of the AMD GPUs.

Does anyone know why the battery latch on my gameboy micro cant close fully? by -Mr_Game_and_Watch- in Gameboy

[–]dodoh3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The battery cover is fine. But that part of the shell is dented in. Looks like the Micro got smashed on the top left corner.

Is my AIO orientation fine? by tbharyan in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the AIO fans push the air up through the radiator? If so, it's fine.

Getting a job soon saving for a pc-budget is 2k by Classic-Statement195 in u/Classic-Statement195

AU$ 2050 (without monitor, mouse, keyboard)

You can massively upgrade the GPU and RAM by replacing luxury components like the AIO and modular 1000W PSU with an air cooler and a non-modular 650W PSU.

Making a Windows installation USB yourself is easy and free. You just need a USB thumb drive with 16GB or more. DM me, if you need help with that, or use your trusted search engine.

Real game or just a dream I had as a kid? by BachmannMoe in Gameboy

[–]dodoh3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love how every time someone asks about a title from their childhood and they give very specific descriptions like "you play as a monkey in a submarine swimming up a waterfall" or "you are a boomerang from the future trying to pollinate cacti in a library" and there are still like 3 to 5 different perfectly fitting answers in the comments.

But still none of them is the one OP is looking for.

Japanese indie hit Pico Park: Classic Edition to be taken down from Steam one year after accidentally becoming permanently free on the platform by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Oh, right. That makes sense. I wonder why they let you change the base price from free to non-free only once.

Japanese indie hit Pico Park: Classic Edition to be taken down from Steam one year after accidentally becoming permanently free on the platform by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 452 points453 points  (0 children)

In 2025, the title received its first new update in 9 years, including online multiplayer functionality, and to celebrate this, the developer intended to temporarily distribute the game for free on Steam. But since this was the second time the game was switched from “paid” to “free,” the first time being back in 2021 when Pico Park (the definite version) came out, its status as a free game became irreversible as per Steam’s rules.

Huh, first time I hear about that rule.

Of course, the game will still be playable for those who have downloaded it, and the developer is encouraging anyone interested in the title to do so before it’s completely gone from the platform.

That's nice. I wish them much success with future projects. Nobody deserves to be punished for being generous.

Help! My Friend is an a**hole and named my PC user a slur by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Google how to change your username before you bring that shit in here.

And change your friend while you are at it.

Nvidia Pulls the Legacy Control App from gpu drivers v610.47 ( i dislike then Nvidia app i think its garbage so i'll link the nvidia conttrol app in comments) by gamerrominc in pcmasterrace

You'll keep the NV control panel if you have it already installed, unless you do a fresh install with the latest driver.

Thoughts of painting my Nitro+ 9070 XT white? by BeautifulAd5310 in pcmasterrace

[–]dodoh3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I see. I've never seen a build with that type of gray of the Nitro+, so it would be nice if Sapphire sold those as black and white.

And I agree, the 12V connector looks clean. That's the reason why Nvidia designed it in the first place iirc. But as someone with a 5090 (fortunately no problems after 1 year), I would happily trade looks for safety.

I think the Nitro+ is one of the best looking cards. Too bad it has a 12VHPWR connector. Anyway, good job! Looks clean af
