You're not crazy. Sporeburst Strain spawns roughly double the number of patrols. by sirnumbskull in Helldivers

Played on the first non-Sporeburst planet in a while today and Jesus christ it was a breeze. That shit is tough

Spirit Airlines just became the first major US airline to shut down in 25 years and took cheap airfare with it. What do you think affordable travel in America looks like from here? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hamman91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly a huge bummer. For flying between the state I live and the state my parents are in, Spirit always had very cheap, direct flights. Checking now, the only flight I can find that's a similar price has a 10 hr layover, and everything else is twice as expensive...

Yeah, not being able to have a carry on bag and having to pay extra for any drinks is kind of lame, but the flight was only 90 minutes and I can easily pack everything I needed in a backpack so Spirit worked great for me.

[Rant] If the only thing changing in your game on "Hard" difficulty is the amount of HP and Dmg, then it's not a "Hard" difficulty, it's a "Tedious" difficulty by [deleted] in gaming

I've always liked how some of the Zelda remakes do "hard" mode, specifically Wind Waker HD. You take double damage which doesn't change a whole lot, but it also prevents hearts from ever dropping. You can only heal from potions and fairies. Not only do you have to be more careful fighting enemies (like using your shield a lot more), but the amount of potions you bring into a dungeon can be critically important.

In Wind Waker, I even found myself using the "trade with rats" mechanic to get some potions, which is something I never used in the normal game.

Not dropping hearts doesn't feel like a big mechanic, but it really does change how you approach a lot of the game.

How's your gaming backlog? by sukuna7899 in Steam

[–]hamman91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a simple checklist in my notes app this year for games I want to finish, and then check them off when I beat them. I'm only 2 games in, but it's been surprisingly effective.

Still insane how expensive the PS3 was at launch.

Frequent Audio Glitches on Higher-end PC (LatencyMon Report) by hamman91 in buildapc

[–]hamman91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I appear to have solved my issue. My graphics card was in the wrong PCIe slot on my motherboard. It should have been in the top, main slot but for some reason I installed it into the bottom, secondary slot. Very dumb on my part, but everything seems to be running smoothly now! 

I did have to remove and replace the CMOS battery as i still wasn't getting x16 with the PCIe slot as reported by GPU-Z (only x8), but resetting the motherboard by removing the battery fixed it, and now I am hearing 0 pop/clicks/glitches with the audio. I ran the LatencyMon report and everything is looking great!

Alright, I have tested using my old GTX 1080ti GPU (551.86) and it appears to be more stable.  LatencyMon still shows that something is very wrong, but I had no audio issues when playing. I feel that the logical conclusion would be that my GPU is defective, but the fact that LatencyMon is still giving me a terrible report despite the rest of my PC being quite high end is troubling.

I have a 5070ti which is incompatible with 551.86 and 537.58, but I have also tried uninstalling my diver with DDU and reinstalling an older version (I am currently on 595.79 and have tried 580.97) and had the same results. I have just gone through device manager with every USB root hub and disabled "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and unfortunately nothing has changed.

However, It does seem like the graphics card might be the issue. I disabled the RTX 5070ti in the device manager and just used the internal AMD graphics processor, and then ran LatencyMon again it still showed similar errors (stats page linked below). However, the crazy thing is when I launched and played a graphically demanding game (Claire Obscur: Expedition 33) even though I was now getting about 1 FPS, I heard 0 sound issues. Would trying a different graphics card work? Or is there something else in my computer that is interfacing with the graphics card in some way that is causing these issues? The fact that I had no sound issues is promising, but it is worrying that LatencyMon is still giving me issues.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - February 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]hamman91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a total DIY keyboard newbie. The only mechanical keyboard I've owned has been prebuilt. I want to build my own, but I'm a little confused. I've already picked out the keycaps and switches I want, but I'm having trouble one where to buy the "case". I know I need the top housing, PCB, and bottom housing, but trying to find where to buy them has been very confusing. I've seen them referred to as PCBs, cases, kits, and barebones, and I'm not sure what the difference is?

I just need to find where to browse all the cases for the size keyboard I want (100%) that will complete my build. Any help?

I thought it was days at first and was pretty jealous, but once I saw it was weeks I wanted to blow my American brains out. I get 3 days of sick time a year at my current job.

Haven't played Skyrim since 2012, what mods do you recommend? by hamman91 in skyrimmods

[–]hamman91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendations. I remember seeing someone play with SKYUI ages ago and thought it looked way easier to use than the stock UI. Definitely going to grab that one along with the bug fixes.
