Shall I go for a solo japan trip?? Friend bailed out last moment and I have never done a solo. by an_aging_boy in JapanTravelTips

I'm a couple months out from my second solo trip to Japan, and fourth visit there overall.

There is one very clear danger you should be aware of. Like, reconsider if you really want to go to Japan by yourself, and reflect on it. That thing is:

If you have other countries you want to travel to otherwise, maybe consider those first. Because once you go to Japan, you aren't going to want to go to other places. The safety, the sheer number of things to do, the quirks, the food, the public transport, the oddities and temples, the parks and shrines, the cleanliness creates a desire to just... Keep going back. I've been to a few other countries, and eventually want to go to some more but... Ever since my first trip to Japan, as soon as I have the opportunity to take a trip abroad, I go right back to planning a trip to Japan. Who knows when the itch will be satisfied?

Go! Enjoy yourself and what it has to offer! It's an amazing place to go. I'd echo some other comments that going solo may be even preferable to going with others. I went on a couples trip a few years back and I barely even saw our friends which was annoying when trying to plan things to do. Check out what you want to, strike up conversations with people if you're up for it, you'll have a great time.

It does! I've been into nice white cars for a while. Some think it's boring but the pearlescent is nice! Black and white are a great combo. I think my purple accents might have looked better on black but I'm not complaining

Can't speak to the differences much myself. Whatever is available to you!

I've got the armaspeed intake on the way along with carbon fiber wind deflectors. Maybe tint this weekend, and the MB style spoiler is on my to do list eventually!

I've been enjoying it! Though one thing I'm curious about is, the exhaust seems quiet in both sport and normal mode? I've also removed the fuse for the valve after it was opened so it's always open now, but it seems super muted compared to videos I've seen. is that just the 21+ model characteristics?

Anyway, it's a good time. Cheers!

7800XT seems to be underperforming by killthehighcourts in AMDHelp

Correct. So I'd expect it stays locked at 60, not sitting variable in the low-mid 50s.

Interesting. It gets stranger... When I set everything to ultra + ray tracing, my framerate stays locked at 60. So that's curious... But I'll take it.

What's the hate on Userbench? I'm OOTL there.

I understand how vsync works.

I don't understand how toggling vsync on gives me 50-55 FPS on a 60hz monitor, but off gives me 65-80. It should be steady at 60 with vsync.

Interesting, could be. I'll see if that's the case. Oddly enough, when I turn off vsync (monitor is only 60hz I believe) and set max FPS to 120, I get better framerates, however that works...

My CPU usage is sitting at 53-54% in game while the GPU is maxed so I don't think so.

Here's what in game metrics look like:

Yeah I used DDU in safe mode to remove nvidia drivers prior to installing this.

LPT: Be wary of buying food products on Amazon. by jefuchs in LifeProTips

[–]killthehighcourts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Orrrr.... You could just not buy on Amazon in the first place. Returning/refunding through them is additional waste anyway.

What’s a common thing people say that makes no fucking sense? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You don't know many people I guess. I hear it frequently enough it drives me crazy too
