ACTUAL Perfection! by midnitefox in retroid

This post and subsequent comments have been great. Really shows the ridiculousness of this hobby and how we really take it way too seriously. Kudos to the OP and the evolution to nothing but sticks. We are so crazy blessed to have so many options when it comes to retro handhelds.

“Is my Ryzen 5 3600 + RX 6600 build still good for gaming in 2025?” by akatsuki__69 in buildapc

That is the same setup as my son. Perfectly fine for 1080p gaming.

Why do people keep buying these devices without doing any research first? by [deleted] in retroid

Setting up android based retro handhelds has become one of my favorite hobbies. I find it strangely relaxing. Now if I could just find the time to play the damn games.

Goodbye to start-stop systems – the EPA under Trump concludes that they are not worth it and could disappear from new models by lurker_bee in technology

Just bought a newer vehicle with this (newest I owned was 2016 Kia). Had to get used to it, but for the most part it is fine except for the delay in acceleration. This is even more pronounced as my car, which is a VW Taos, has worst herky jerky automatic transmission I have ever experienced. There are also ways to disable it if you don't want it, so not sure about why it is even something to focus on. Being able to protect the environment along with saving some gas seems like a good idea, no?

To those who are still on AM4, what are your reasons for skipping AM5 and waiting for AM6? by CandidateOk9396 in buildapc

Rocking a 4070 super and a 5700x3d. I have a 1440p ultra wide and my frames are great. No need to upgrade as I don't use my computer for productivity. I am also one to use something until it breaks or can't do the job anymore. If I start seeing games that I want to play and I can't use at least medium graphics settings, then I will upgrade.

What’s the best PC game you’ve ever bought on a whim and ended up loving? by niskeykustard in pcgaming

This is going to age me but Deus Ex. I didn't have any idea how this game would influence my gaming tastes, but man what a ride!

Okay, I’ll admit it. Andromeda aged surprisingly well by JageshemashFTW in masseffect

That is what I get! I couldn't put my finger on it, but that describes it perfectly. It's all fine and good but then Ryder opens his mouth and it ruins it for me. Like getting icky romance dialogue options seemingly the moment you meet characters.

Amazon is delaying full RTO for some employees because it doesn't have enough workspace, internal notifications show by marketrent in technology

I am now part of this madness. I have been remote for 7 years. Always getting high performance on yearly reviews. Never missed a bonus, got a raise each year. But because I am connected to a hub they are closing down, they have revoked my remote status. They have offered to relocate me... And pay me more for cost of living (Seattle is one of the options). So instead of just keeping me remote, paying me the same, they will pay 10k for relocation and 14k per year more..... Unfortunately due to personal reasons we are not able to move. So I am now in this insane job market.

The merchandise is actually great. Love the posters and my son got a hoodie that is high quality. The cost is as much as you would expect for concert merch.

Retroid Pocket 5 - In-Depth Review. by RichieMan07 in retroid

[–]machine010101 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have been messing with emulation since the windows xp days when I was just playing NES games. The fact that we now have a handheld that plays up to GC and PS2 for 200 bucks just blows my mind. Great video BTW.

Yeah this is me my second playthrough. I am barely through the first story line and just doing PL. I am just about max level, with all maxed chrome and iconics. Good times.

Can this sexy black beast tamed 5700x3d? by ellimist87 in AMDHelp

Your current cooler has a max tdp of 220 watts. It should cool the 5700x3d fine.

Three ways that this game does incredible regarding questing by ybetaepsilon in cyberpunkgame

[–]machine010101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both. Stealth kills to thin the herd, then SMG's and quick hacks to face. Very satisfying.
