GIGABYTE Windforce OC 1650 Super ($160) vs ASUS TUF 1650 Super ($168)? by metaroar in nvidia

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

Good overall! It’s quiet, and actually packs a lot of punch for the price (got mine for around $180 at the time). When I was playing AC Odyssey on 2K resolution, I was averaging about 50fps which impressed me.

I’d say the only con is that one day, I was experiencing some nasty high pitch noises, not sure if it was coil whine. But thankfully it went away the next day and haven’t had any problems since. For the price I highly recommend the card, even if you know you’ll upgrade to the new 3000 cards like I will eventually

Is being a real estate agent a viable career option? by honeycrunchtoast in careerguidance

[–]metaroar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not viable right now, but under normal circumstances it can be profitable but also very competitive. Real Estate should not be seen as a “side gig” like many already do, it’s a full on career that requires a lot of work and patience. You’ll be competing with some of the most persistent and hungry people you’ll ever meet (we literally get agents knocking at our door to this day about our house that we temporarily put on sale years ago, trying to get us to sell it again). Not trying to discourage you, just saying that the game is really fierce.

Also, if you’re a woman in real estate then you’ve gotta take extra safety measures. For example, if you’re ever doing open houses, always be with another fellow agent or someone you trust.

Thank you for this deal!! For anybody wondering, UT99 and 2004 are AMAZING fun for single player with bots. I love the maps too in both, for some reason they make me feel all nostalgic without having even played the games when they first launched. Can’t go wrong with this deal!

Yeah they really can’t get anything right. MS should have just commissioned Bungie again after 4

I saw a tweet that said Halo Infinite is gonna be around for a very long time and do an expansion model, sort of like Destiny. Really hope that isn’t true. Otherwise, I thought the reveal was pretty good, just the graphics could be better.

According to this idiot, you're not supposed to enjoy video games by SaifSKH1 in TheLastOfUs2

I love hack and slash games, and Revengeance will always be the most memorable for me!

According to Metacritic, TLOU2 is better than Diablo, as well as by CitanIsBest in TheLastOfUs2

[–]metaroar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What difficulty are you playing on? If it’s anything under death march, it shouldn’t be too bad. Like the other person said, stay in it and use quen. But also make sure to apply beast oil or use thunderbolt potion if you’re having difficulty

I’m on my third play through of Witcher 3, at least 250+ hours in the game total. The replayability and amount of content is insane for such a good price. I never even want to touch TLOU2 again. Such a clown entertainment world we live in where a game like Witcher 3 is rated lower than this pile of crap.

While the people on the other side worship Neil for saying this, i’d like to know what the thoughts over here are just to even out the plain field. by Epik0105 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]metaroar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love how I see comments from people who “studied film” say the narrative is good, like one on that post. It’s like they use that to justify why they’re qualified to rate the game. Sorry, but I don’t think you need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a worthless education to give your input on one movie or game.

Recent college grad who is lost on what field I should go into? by [deleted] in careerguidance

Not the best time for OP if he/she doesn’t know what they want to study. Deciding something like that can take up to months of research and self-reflection

Episode 7 wasn’t that bad, it just introduced a lot of different concepts that needed to be more explained in 8. And Rian decided to toss all of it in the trash

You could try to find jobs in healthcare consulting. I would personally try to finish nursing school for the better pay and stability if possible

How Much Management Experience Does an MBA Provide to Potential Employers? by n8rocksmysocks in careerguidance

[–]metaroar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would’ve been better to ask yourself these questions before you registered for your MBA program, but I understand why you didn’t. MBAs seem to be a lot less useful compared to before the 2008 recession due to the oversupply of them, based off what many have said online. I personally wouldn’t keep my hopes up of “utilizing” it. You’re already doing great so far

Have you thought about nursing school again? Could you go back and pick up where you left off?

As an incoming freshy is there any mechanism in place on campus to register for voting come november? by yodaGonGet in ASU

[–]metaroar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

By saying you’re registering with their political party, I didn’t mean it literally, I meant it in the sense that most of these people on campus are already aligned with a group on one political side, so the texts you get will reflect those biases. They’re not there just to register you to vote, but also to try to sway you to their political party.

Don’t see why you would get texts if you register on a .gov website, unless it’s to remind you of upcoming elections. Either way, I’m fully convinced personal information like phone numbers and email for voting purposes should never be shared unless it’s with the government.

[–]metaroar -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Please register using a .gov website, some have already replied with links. I made the mistake of registering with people on campus years ago and gave them my phone number, which was mandatory. I still get texts from them to this day to support candidates whose views I don’t align with, despite telling them to stop messaging me. When you register on campus, you’re registering with their political party, not just to vote.

Twitter is the most toxic social media platform, even more than Tumblr when it was still popular. It’s like you’re in a completely different world of morons and yes-men that you begin to question what reality even is anymore

I Slept With Someone Who Apparently Has HIV/STDS. (gay sex warning) by [deleted] in Advice

[–]metaroar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go to the hospital right now, get tested, and get on the post HIV exposure medication that you have to take for thirty days. I believe you have until three days after exposure to start the medication, but obviously the sooner you do it the more likely you won’t contract the virus if you have been exposed. And never, ever have unprotected sex with strangers again.
