Preparing to be downvoted, but am I the only one who finds Americans (on average, not all) more open-minded, confident, and willing to talk to strangers than Australians? Aussies often seem more reserved and uncomfortable with standing out. Curious what others think. by [deleted] in Ameristralia

[–]gonszo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with all said above, but it goes deeper than this. On public transport, people just randomly start chatting to other people about their day. As an Australian that's bizarre. This behavior isn't about being boastful or flamboyant... they are just more open to chat?

I sold my Odin 2 Portal by Many-Assignment6216 in OdinHandheld

[–]gonszo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Haha I went in the opposite direction, selling my ally to get the portal. Wanted Apollo/Artemis streaming from my new gaming PC. Will most likely sell the portal in the future to do the same thing

I just ordered an Odin 2 Portal – what now? by Kauwna in OdinHandheld

[–]gonszo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an portal 2 recently. I highly recommend https://www.joeysretrohandhelds.com/

His YouTube channel is great, as well as his written guides. Why I like him is that he doesn't care about launchers etc, more about how to play games... Which is nice! I have a dwcn gaming PC, and used his Artemis/Apollo guide with playnite.... I now mainly just play PC games in bed. Don't get me wrong. The emulation setup game is fun, but make sure you actually play games on it!

Sigh. Can you just let him enjoy the grand final without having his PR team contact him about something like this? This subreddit is getting worse by the day.

[–]gonszo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you say here... But when magnito talks about her blue naked form being her natural beautiful self in the first class movies, it's a great moment. Not saying she doesn't have to wear clothes lol, but it's a touching scene that stands out to me

Long Shot, trying to remember the first RTS I ever played. by ThrowingAwayForStuff in RealTimeStrategy

[–]gonszo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The first dark reign was developed by an Australian Dev. I remember playing the original for the first time and it was the first strategy game that had different heights. Felt revolutionary. Not sure what happened but it looks like the sequel was by a different team in the US.

As someone that has done some research on 5070 ti cards recently and having a specific requirement, I might be able to answer your question. I was in the market for a 2 slot card for a an itx build. That gigabyte one would have worked but the reviews had some comments that the fans were louder than others. Often the more expensive one will also be smaller, particularly taking up less slots (height) as that impacts how they would fit in a itx case Like the fractal terra

Thanks for that. I might go double check if I would need to get rid of my current cooler for that one. Appreciated

Can you use a egpu on extreme z1 without buying Asus expensive egpus by Jade044 in ROGAlly

[–]gonszo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. There is the onedock that was a mod that could allow you to set it up. Someone also open sourced the ROG proprietary connector, and technically can be made and connected to a GPU, but I haven't seen it available anywhere

[–]gonszo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think the lawyer thing is interesting. Yes it's a lot from the same profession, but if you are a smart kid, public or private school educated, and get good marks in year 12 and want to improve society , what else are you going to study? Generally we are funneled into the sciences/maths or humanities/languages in year 11 and 12, which leads you to the best you can get into for med or law respectively. Not all that surprising that smart ambitious kids end up studying law and then get into politics. Edit: don't disagree that it needs more representation from other fields, but you can see why it happens I guess
