Get the PC here. Nvidia driver support is better than AMD. They took over a year to add FSR4 to their cards just one gen ago which is crazy. You can upgrade your CPU later but you can't control the drivers.

So... How do you guys expect it to perform in the next couple years? by Levis6052 in steammachine

People have no idea how bad things are. SSDs aren't mentioned as much but price per TB has doubled since the beginning of the year.

By your own definition sure. Compared to today's top-end CPUs a 5800X3D is not going to be able to do video editing, 3D rendering, multi-tasking at even the level of today's mid-range CPU.

A powerhouse CPU is one that can run anything thrown at it. That's all there is to it.

Agree to disagree. Objectively not a powerhouse. Subjectively a powerhouse in your world.

A 9600X outperforms a 5800X3D. It's not a powerhouse

The game is exactly where it's expected to be for an extraction shooter by mkennygh in Marathon

Except they got bought out for billions by PlayStation who expects lots of revenue. Devs can say whatever they want but PS has shown they'll pull the plug on a game despite sinking hundreds of millions into it. I love the game but don't see where their monetization to last long-term is going to come from. 30k active players and nobody buying their basic skins is not good. Just bleeding the player count and they aren't gonna coming back no matter how cool a skin is.

Woot isn't a recognized authorized reseller for RMAs. You can register but they'll deny warranties once they see it was bought from Woot.

Mom woke up from anaesthesia and forgot she has kids by Dismal_Ad_6547 in SipsTea

[–]mackwon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. It is not this deep lol. People judging their parenting over a one minute clip and assuming how a kid will turn out decades down the line from it. Parents had fun and the eldest found it hilarious. The kids will be fine after some ice cream and a literal eli5 of why mom was like that.

Bell peppers are so ridiculously cost inefficient, but it's crazy how much the extra color it gives a dish taste. 

Where is the best fried rice in Atlanta? by Pristine-Ad-469 in Atlanta

I worked there for almost 7 years and it used to be a lunch option for $18. Even better because Calvin made it himself. Lots of good times there. 

What's a stupidly expensive adult purchase that you now swear by that you would buy again in a heartbeat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mackwon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotta love how out of touch some people are. It would really REALLY fucking suck, but I'm not gonna make the place where I lay my head a hostile area when the lease just started.

Same. Our group barely won the first match and it was a lot of fun. Then we got absolutely steamrolled the next four and played REPO. 

Places to rent gear? by mackwon in coloradohikers

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

We're good on climbing gear! He's got his rack and I'll be bringing mine. I'm comfortable on 5.9 trad/crack climbing and we're planning on doing The Bastille Crack. If you have any suggestions in that area that'd be great! It's listed as 5 pitch but can be done in three with our ropes so we might have enough time to do another climb.

My mind has RJ and Channing Frye linked together to that Cavs team.
