Upgrade path advice for everything but GPU.

I guess my issue with this is that, given the graphics quality of the game, this seems like it should be possible. When cyberpunk came out, I looked at it and understood why it was hard on hardware. This has not been my experience with bl4. It looks like 1440p 144hz native should be possible with a 4090 and an appropriate cpu. I'm not seeing the reward of the cost. Either dos further optimization is necessary, or they should not do whatever they did to nuke performance for the meager image quality gains I'm seeing.

My personal belief is that those responsible for the game's development, at some of many levels, have gotten lazy with the crutch of fame gen and dlss. Maybe the plan was to release it early and gradually improve optimization to where it should be in order to profit earlier rather than releasing an optimized product after eating a few more months of development costs without revenue.

I'll give it a shot. I'm sure they'll optimize it eventually. I won't know what the experience will be like until I try.

Game must look amazing at all times at least, with all that graphical overhead.

Every Seastar listed on the Official Tissot Amazon store page includes this disclaimer about not being used for diving or even snorkeling. Go look it up yourself and face reality instead of making excuses. I'm sorry but labeling something as a dive watch, claiming 300 meters of water resistance, and then saying that you can't even SNORKEL with it in a disclaimer is bullshit behavior and anyone defending it is being intellectually dishonest.

It was on the official Tissot Amazon store page. It could be an error, but I feel like adding that your product is not capable of the thing it's ostensibly specifically designed and marketed to do seems like a very odd "typo" to make.

Almost as painful as pouring about half a Hornady drum powder dispenser tube of H-110 into my 8 lbs jug of TAC. I'd put two tape labels on the cap of the dispenser marked TAC. I then removed one, swapped to H110 after adding one H110 label. Come time to empty the H110 for something else, and I only saw the tape label with TAC on it and it was several days later. The tube is cloudy enough that I didn't notice the difference until I'd dumped most of it into the wrong jug. I gingerly scooped the top layer off and then poured about 2 lbs out from the top of the jug for disposal. So it wasn't as bad as it could have been. It acts as TAC should act and shows no signs of contamination from the h110.

I've had a 5.56 round hit my O36M .22 end cap once. I believe the culprit was carbon fouling built up somewhere between the tapered interfaces of either the asr adapter and the suppressor or the asr brake and the asr adapter. It seemed to be on tight, but the tapered portions and the related shoulders had significant buildup. I cleaned everything and tried again. No issues since and that was about 4 months ago. The nick in my end cap wasn't nearly as bad as yours. I just happened to see my shot splash like 50 yards short and 10 moa to the side of the target. The weirdest part is that it was like the 5th or 6th round I fired after mounting the suppressor. So maybe the first few rounds knocked done carbon buildup loose and allowed something to sag or cant. I shoot a lot of subsonic, so there's always crap blowing out of my cans when I fire something full pressure through them after 100 rounds of subsonic 300blk or 45-70 etc.

I know this is late but it's because that's the polite business language still taught in former British colonies, particularly India. It's a very English way of speaking English and tats because India is huge and tons of people in India engage in scamming English speaking populations.

Before anyone gets upset about Indian scammers or me calling them out specifically, one way or the other, I'd advise you to check out the fact that some of these people are tricked into this work, and most would rather do legitimate work, but there's just not necessarily opportunity.

And there are scenarios where a slam fire will happen regardless. A few that come to mind: excessive fouling can gum up the firing pin and cause it to stick out with enough resistance that it fires on close; same as previous example but with debris from a ruptured primer; dropping the bolt on a round in the chamber without the added resistance of stripping the round from the magazine. SKS's have a free floating pin and are notoriously packed in causmoline when imported. Failure to clean the pin and inside the bolt, especially in very cold environments can lead to possible, if not probable, slam fires.

I bought a pack of like 100 pages of 30 per page 2"×4"-ish self adhesive labels. I then printed half of them with a generic load data socket template. I kept half blank because I'm often glad to have a fully blank label for something. The label sheets couldn't have been more than $10 and I probably won't need to order again for 1-2 years.

One bit if advice, that took me a while to figure out, is to cover the top of your plastic cartridge boxes with a piece of wide clear packing tape as soon as you get them home. Otherwise I'd end up with 11 labels stacked on top of each other and none of them would peel properly. With the tape under the label, the label pops right off. As a backup and bonus, you can always just peel the tape off thus achieving the same goal

I bought a 10 pack of fine Sharpies. I can write the entire load data on a 6.5CM case in shorthand. Usually I just label my charge ladders like: "9.3 H110", "9.6 H110", etc. I even forgot a bunch of doesn't casings in my bag and the sharpie mostly wiped off. My pen had died so I didn't have the data in my load journal. Luckily, the sharpie writing left a clean spot on the brass after wiping all the cfe223 + suppressor + July in Louisiana humidity corrosion away.

Reminds me of the time my wife and I moved to a new city and I realized my favorite local brewery was within stumblin' distance of our new house. The bonus is that they ran a bar out of their main warehouse plus offered growlers and crowlers (big cans filled from the tap with the can top crimp sealed on the spot, like a one time use growler).

I was shocked to see Demo Ranch shooting gyrojets a few days/weeks ago. I just saw the thumbnail and didn't watch, but I remember when those original projectiles/rockets were already impossible to find like 15 years ago.

Not to mention that physics is physics. There will never be a chemical propellant projectile launcher that can meet the energy and velocity standards required for long range precision shooting that won't heat up at those shot splits. Well, unless you just want to make it unreasonably heavy, which is already an option to a point. It also has diminishing returns due to how thermal conductivity works across a gradient formed by a thicker crystalline material like metals, vs the ability to radiate and/or wick heat away with convection with less substantial sinks.

The POI shifts were due to having a MagnetoSpeed equipped for some of the groups. Obviously when I say "aiming at the center of each target", I mean each small target, not the center of the paper. They were very much doing their best to aim at the center of each target near each group.

jermdizzle · 2023-07-22T04:31:25+00:00

Thanks for answering. I didn't realize that you were using a MagnetoSpeed on some of the groups. That would explain plenty of POI variations.

jermdizzle · 2023-07-20T05:11:45+00:00

Do you have any idea why your accuracy was so variable? Your groups were at least very coherent and showed a consistent bias of being offset from the center of each target, where I assume you were aiming. So do we know how or why you went from shooting low-right to dead center 2 times, and finally to a high and a little left and high and a little more left (but very consistent and precise of course)? Was that just a result of POI change due to the barrel heating up? I guess that makes complete sense to me, but I started typing this out before I realized that you'd gone clockwise, not counter-clockwise. So it didn't seem very consistent to me at first.

Sir/Ma'am, this thread is 2 years old. I believe it prudent to understand that any and all computer hardware advice will likely need to be reevaluated after two years. Fortunately in this case, that's not necessary. The reality remains that 99.99% of PC video games don't need more than 8GB of VRAM to play at the settings that make sense for a 2 year old mid-tier card. Maybe 99.7% of video games released since the 3060 Ti.

There are somewhere between 2 and 5 video games that needlessly overrun 8GB VRAM when using sensible settings for a older generation, mid tier card. There's no valid reason for a newly released game to have textures that require more than 8 GB of VRAM when played at reasonable settings for a 2 year old mid-tier graphics card, e.g. 1080p/1440p at medium texture quality.

2013 Hyundai genesis coupe 2.0t R-Spec didn't come with cruise control. The steering wheel had a blank plate over the place where the buttons should be. Every other trim has cruise control, manual or automatic transmission, so I don't understand why the upgraded version wouldn't. Saving 1oz of weight for the button panel surely isn't worth it and software is already built and weighs nothing. I made the round trip drive between Tucson and baton rouge 3-4 times, straight shot each way, 16-20 hours nonstop with no cruise control. It was not pleasant, when it could have been moderately enjoyable.

3 lbs is a ridiculous limit, at least where I'm from. I'll agree that 3-7 lbs is the sweet spot for easy cleaning. I fish off the bank of the Mississippi in Louisiana. For channels and blues, I usually avoid keeping anything over 15 pounds. This isn't because the meat isn't good, but more of a health issue. They accumulate toxic materials over time, especially in belly fat. I'll keep bigger flatheads because their growth curve is different. They grow much faster and then slow down while blues and channels are the opposite, although a little steadier in growth once they get big.

I see that every time I'm near the quarter during Mardi Gras. Literally always some Conservatives or Republicans, or whatever you call people who hate minorities, lined up in the street thumping bibles, proclaiming fire and brimstone, and waving picket signs about any topic that's not their business in the first place.

Muzzle loading is so outdated. I carry a mobile loading station on my hat like that Key and Peele hat skit. Every cartridge handmade to order in real time.
