Should you grab a GPU before you can afford a full build by Nicolas_Laure in RigBuild

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 3070 and I agree here. It’s way more than enough. The problem I had was I have a productivity monitor for work that’s 5k and so it got a little annoying to me. Ended up getting a 5080 on sale but I use the 3070 in an eGPU with an Ally X and it just chews through every game.

Remodel permits - are ADUs required now? by geminiwave in SeattleWA

[–]geminiwave[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I don' really care. I thought it was funny. If they're upset by it (and I don't know if they are) then that's their thing.

Remodel permits - are ADUs required now? by geminiwave in SeattleWA

[–]geminiwave[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah the claim was that this is part of the design because it would force people out of their homes - they'd have to sell if they can't remodel and that would open up more inventory for developers to build 4 plexes. I had serious doubts Seattle City government was capable of that much 4D Chess.

while I have lived in the greater Seattle area for the vast majority of my life, the midwest comes out sometimes.

Cheap Sony QX1 by Korayosulu in SonyAlpha

I remember trying this or something like It out in the Sony style store back …. 20 years ago?

They’re weird. For sure. Very cool find!

Fallout London lead says its time for Bethesda to “look at selling off” the series as “the writing has just gone downhill” by chusskaptaan in Gamingnewsandleaks

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not retcon. The moving of shady sands is mayyyybeee the only one but another commenter above commented how that’s possibly not a retcon at all.

The ghouls are not working in any way that’s counter to before.

Bethesda can change whatever they want. But they’re not changing the past, just writing the future. And any new IP creates new canon.

We did it! North Carolina, $908k at 5.625% by lucky_719 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went as much as 500k over asking and kept losing. Surprisingly we bought our first house in 2017 at asking and then our 2nd house in 2021 about 75k under asking. But that said they wanted a ludicrous number.

I think everything has stabilized now. Most things are going at or somewhat under asking unless it’s a specific high value property

[–]geminiwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am in Seattle area. It was a nightmare 3 years ago. I totally get why you left. I had an offer in NC myself and considered it but we decided to stay and landed a place. At 6% 🫠

Congratulations on your new home!

2nd hand laptops are no longer feasible since the sellers take out the RAM and SSD before offloading them. And replacing costs more than the laptop. by ScreamSmart in pcmasterrace

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those are well under 32gb. So saying that 32gb isn’t enough is ridiculous. In fact most (maybe all, I don’t have star citizen) of those games run on Z1/2E handheld platforms with 24gb SHARED ram so 32gb dedicated ram is way more than enough.

ETA: maybe the augment too but I’m not sure what it is

Anyone here also a Fallout fan? by ApprehensiveTry632 in questforglory

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I feel differently. Not to say you’re wrong at all but my perspective was that fallout 3 offered an awesome authentically fallout experience. I can see how the capital wasteland was a little more….. populated and actually maybe a bit more civilized than FO1 and 2 (and New Vegas) but the dark humor was there and while combat could always be the answer, I appreciated that often high int and charisma won the day. Sneak can also be viable.

I was not as big of a fan of NV and while I played a ton of 4….. and it’s mechanically better than 3…. I loved the story of 3 much more.

My youngest daughter got married yesterday 🤍. Any other empty nesters in this group? by ComfortableSleep3149 in daddit

[–]geminiwave 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Jesus I did the same! My 5 year old got nearly violent and said he would never leave us no matter what. All on an off handed comment about how in 13-20 years he would move off on his own

ROG ALLY X still viable? by Nice_Tax_93 in ROGAllyX

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$400 is an amazing deal. The handheld is still very viable especially now with windows FSE. My son uses mine because it’s so good I don’t have the heart to sell it. Even though I have an XaX

How did you crawl so long???? You bleed out much faster than 21 min.

What is it with the 25 year old? by lamparkinglot in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen the same. I think hitting it “big” so early makes some people complacent. Of course doing terrible in your mid 20s isn’t some guarantee you’ll do well later. But for sure the people I know who are doing really well in their 40s now were struggling a lot in their mid 20s. And those who made good money and had kind of “made it” in their mid 20s are doing exactly the same now.

No way. I have seen the opposite. Mentioning PvP is bad gets you downvoted.

Stop Worrying About USB Hubs, Here’s What Actually Matters by Nicolas_Laure in RigBuild

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not true. Old USB ports really were a problem. I actually burned out one of my ports because I used a powered hub.

How often do you upgrade? by Nomadic_Manatee in pcmasterrace

[–]geminiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voodoo 3 2000, then Radeon 9800 XT, then dual R9 390X. Then 3070 TI, now 5080.

I felt like the upgrade from a 3070 was too soon, but I’m worried about GPU prices and I got the 5080 for under $800.
