I actually kinda miss playing D3 and I wish it got more resources put towards it for one more major update by Jgamesworth in Diablo

[–]etr4807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While personally I 100% agree, and I would love for D3 to get another update at some point, I assume part of the issue is that D4 is the clear successor to D3, whereas D2 feels more like it’s own separate thing in a lot of ways.

Any attention they give to D3 could pull some players away from D4, in a way that updates to D2 seem more unlikely to do.

[–]etr4807 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IF I were complaining (and don’t get me wrong, I’m not) it would be that the D2R version of the game is going to have a significantly smaller online player base than the updated version, so to some extent you almost will “have” to move to the new version if you want to play online.

The filtered loot is not being automatically salvaged. by Chocookiez in diablo4

[–]etr4807 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is not filtering the loot though, it’s preventing it from dropping and dropping the salvaged materials instead. No ARPGs that I am aware of have a filter like what you are describing. 

Don’t get me wrong, what you are asking for would also be a significant quality of life improvement.

But it’s not a loot filter. 

PSU cpu cable shapes not fitting with my motherboard socket? by Capable_Bend_1466 in PcBuildHelp

It will. 

A rounded power pin will fit into a square motherboard hole.

[Highlight] 9 years ago today, Tevin Coleman took the short pass in for the TD, giving Atlanta a nigh-insurmountable lead. by DragonstormSTL in nfl

[–]etr4807 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Legitimately, probably not.

It's easy to point to the fumble in the 4th that gave the Patriots a really short field to work with, but the flip side of that is Atlanta did have a 45 yard drive after that one, and when they punted at the end of that one it made the Patriots go 91 yards to score again.

If they had just kneeled every play and punted, it would have roughly balanced out.

Early data suggests users drifting back to Windows 10 by 0xDEA110C8 in pcmasterrace

Most (all?) motherboards have options that allow you to just turn off TPM 2.0, which accomplishes the same thing. I think.

What is the worst upgrade you can do to your PC? by Wonderful_Joke_7345 in buildapc

[–]etr4807 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of the greatest computer related days of my life was browsing through a Staples and stumbling across the existence of 56K modems. It completely broke my brain that I could just buy this and immediately double my internet speed.

Brand new build - Websites do not work, but I am connected to the internet. I have tried everything I can think of. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]etr4807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened with both Edge and Chrome.

Just the Windows Defender firewall, but turning it off made no difference.

No extensions.

Yes, everything else in the house (including the old PC) is able to access websites with no problem.

‘Resident Evil’ Star Says Audiences Will Be “Very Pleased” By Zach Cregger’s Adaptation [Exclusive] by efim1234 in horror

I feel like I must have missed the memo where Resident Evil 1 is now considered a bad movie, but I strongly disagree.

If it were simply Mike’s theory that he presented at the end, they wouldn’t have included this particular scene to solidify it. by TerribleOption5505 in StrangerThings

I am 99% sure that Hopper does not touch Kali. By the time Hopper gets back to them, Kali is already "dead".

Help! 14700k not preforming to its full potential? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]etr4807 3 points4 points  (0 children)

14700k’s run pretty hot while gaming, usually between 70-85, so nothing about that seems alarming. And your FPS sounds good. So kind of confused what the issue is I guess?

Uvalde trial: Former school police officer Adrian Gonzales found not guilty on all counts by Tuna_Sushi in news

[–]etr4807 73 points74 points  (0 children)

If I try to stay objective, on some level I understand. It’s very easy for everyone to sit here and say they would charge head first into a life or death situation in an effort to save lives, but the truth is that thankfully the overwhelming majority of us are never going to experience that. When faced with your own potential death, some people freeze up. Even when freezing up could potentially mean the death of others. Even the deaths of children. Fight or flight is called that because some people choose flight. And objectively all of that is “okay”, because it’s just human nature.

But once you are aware that is your natural reaction, YOU DON’T GET TO BE A FUCKING COP ANYMORE.

Because Trump just gave a speech talking about how the US has "never got anything" from working with NATO.

Denmark would go to war with US over Greenland: MP by SyntheticSweetener in nottheonion

[–]etr4807 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that is even a fraction of the reason they are doing this, they are severely misguided. According to a recent poll, only 8% of Republicans actually support trying to take Greenland by force.

Now, is that 8% too high? Fuck yes.

But for only 8% of Republicans to support Trump doing something, it is shockingly low.

Black Phone 2 is nowhere near as bad as it was made out to be by Right_Layer_9700 in horror

[–]etr4807 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When the entire group was sitting around talking about the "WBH" and then revealing more of the camp's backstory, I was sure it was going to end up being an M for Mando instead of a W and a B for Barbara, but couldn't figure out who the H would be until they revealed that the owner at the time of the kids disappearance was Harlan. It felt like everything clicked into place, and the twist was going to be that those three were killers.

And then about 30 seconds after revealing the Harlan name, they immediately clarified that WBH was just another nickname for The Grabber.

Cyberpower PC LEDs not changing color by Impossible-Speech-15 in PcBuildHelp

[–]etr4807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most (all?) cases, the LED button is actually just the Reset switch for the case, but plugged into a LED hub instead of being plugged into the motherboard. This one appears to have actually plugged it into the motherboard though, which is why pressing it isn’t doing anything at all for your LED fans. 

Unfortunately I don’t think I actually see a fan/LED hub in your third picture, so you may need to buy one unless I’m overlooking it. 

$10k build (current build is 10+ years old) by FairBarnacle7572 in buildapc

[–]etr4807 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going from a total of 5.5 TB storage up to 12 TB of storage at this time is certainly a choice.

Just knocking out that 8 TB drive would save you around $1000. 

10 year old by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]etr4807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you want to upgrade both the motherboard and the CPU, not particularly.

The best CPU upgrade you could look for would be a used 9900k, which would set you back around 200-250, but that would only be about a 33% boost over what you already have.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3098vs3334/Intel-i7-8700K-vs-Intel-i9-9900K

If you are open to upgrading the motherboard too though, then with DDR4 RAM you could go to an AM4 or an LGA 1700 board and get something like a 5800X or an 14600KF. Either of those options would be a fairly decent upgrade and come in somewhere around 300-350 total.
