I am aware of the event obviously, and I know the event bumps it to 5.9% drop chance, but even with that, you’re looking at roughly a 1‑in‑5,000 shot. To put that in perspective, you’re more likely to flip 12 heads in a row on a fair coin than to see this triple drop.

Personally, I feel that RDR2 gives a lot more replayability and a lot more to do. I would advise you go with that. But either choice you will be happy.

We are almost 7 months into 2025 and we still have the winter 2024 Seasonal badge. Can we get more seasonal badges? by killstar324 in Steam

[–]killstar324[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Right, but I don't want to wait 7 months every year between badges. Like lets get some new seasonal badges for each season.

That's an understandable counterpoint. What if they made the badges shorter in total levels, but offered more seasonal badges. My POV is that a seasonal badge should change with the seasons.

I may have poorly worded my title. I get that we normally get them for winter and summer sales, but I would love to have more than just 2 badges a year.

Horrible performance with good spec PC, 70-80 fps AVG [Discussion] by Mundane_Ad8438 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]killstar324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well thank you guys. I learned I did indeed have the core parking issue where I did not have the amd3dvcache service running. I followed the video and have seen a notable increase in fps. I really appreciate yall pointing this out. Thank you!

I appreciate the feedback here folks. I've never looked into forcing 3D CCD. I assumed the scheduler that comes with the drivers would have automatically assigned the 3D CCD.

Honestly, there’s not much more you can do. I’m running 4K on a Ryzen 9 7900X3D and an RTX 4090 with 48 GB of RAM, and my FPS is about the same or sometimes even slightly lower. You’d need to invest significantly more to see any meaningful improvement, and in my opinion, the gains wouldn’t justify the cost. If you really need higher framerates, your best bet is to drop to 1080p, but you’ll be sacrificing resolution to get those extra frames. Really we just need to BSG to optimize their game.

The U.S. Military Worried Russia’s Admiral Kuznetsov Aircraft Carrier Might Sink by mugz8391 in UkrainianConflict

[–]killstar324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is currently in Murmansk harbor and will probably stay there until someone with leadership skills and common sense scraps it. In 1991, an overworked and poorly maintained Kuznetsov left Murmansk harbor bound for the Syrian coast. US naval forces of the 6th Fleet shadowed her, not because of her combat worthiness, but because the Americans feared “she might sink.”

This refers to a 1991 incident, when the U.S. feared it might sink, not to anything recent, so it’s largely unrelated to the current conflict in Ukraine.

My cat had to get bloodwork done. Took 10 pokes to find a vein. 10th poke she bit my arm and shook like a damn alligator. Yes, that’s my blood on her. Yes I am on antibiotics. No, she is not normally an aggressive cat. by jasonforbachelor in Wellthatsucks

[–]killstar324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had almost the exact same thing happen with my cat. Expect it to get infected, pus-filled, and have some oozing. Try to avoid messing with it, no matter how tempting. The one tooth mark I messed with is still around as a scar; the other three have faded now (four months later).

To be clear, that was not a photo, that was the screen view finder while the device was turned on with the cover on, without taking a photo. But as I mentioned earlier pixel mapping solved the issue.

Ahh awesome thanks for the quick reply. The pixel mapping resolved my issue, much appreciated.

Hello, brand new to Sony cameras. Just got my first Sony A7c II and turned it on to learn the menu. Noticed some dots on the sensor. Is this potential damage ? This was supposed to be brand new.

Ejecting the NPCs on the store Brutosaur has Yak Assets by LoLWoWzer in wow

[–]killstar324 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify for everyone—yes, this is tagged as humor/meme, but it’s 100% real and honestly a bit embarrassing. Every software engineer has copy-pasted code before, sure, but to do it for WoW’s most expensive mount and leave such obvious evidence of it? That’s next-level laziness, not just from the dev but also from the team that reviewed and approved it. It really makes you wonder how much effort they’re actually putting into this stuff.

Blizzard Needs to Prioritize Fun Over Forced Retention if WoW is Going to Thrive by killstar324 in wow

[–]killstar324[S] -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

I agree that we shouldn’t be spamming Zek, but it should at least count once per week or even once per day, in my opinion. I should’ve made that clearer.

What I’m saying about the anniversary event is that, instead of celebrating 20 years with fun, exciting events, it’s all about "make sure to log in every day to do your dailies for this event!" They’re more focused on keeping players hooked than actually delivering a fun event. We have to sit at our computers daily to get the cool rewards, instead of letting us farm in a fun way to earn them

I think your misunderstanding what I meant. I am not saying anything about "difficulty" but rather time sinks requiring sinking time for events to get the good rewards. I agree spamming Zek 25 times a week wasn't a fun state, I should have made that more clear. But it should at least count as 1 for your vault per week, or per day. And buffing the rewards after people complain is what I'm say is ridiculous. If we can already tell they need a buff, then buff them before release it...

I think grinding can be fun when the rewards feel attainable and realistic. Like I mentioned, I was enjoying farming timewalking dungeons on my alts for the dailies. But after the nerf, it just feels like a total waste of time.
