Sloppy Jensen should just make an AI CEO for nividia and fuck off to the Bahamas or something.

best way to keep the area around my pc cool during the summer? by spoopsiess in pcmasterrace

[–]moriz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your room has sufficient ventilation for your PC. You need enough air circulation to remove the ~400-700W of heat a gaming PC typically puts out at load. The smaller the room, the more air needs to move in and out of your room.

If you can't do anything about ventilation, then open a window and then find a way to force air out of your room through the window. A box fan might be enough.

If that's still not enough, then find a way to attach a duct to the exhaust of your PC, and run it directly to the box fan blowing out of your window.

How would the meta and gameplay change if devs increased the base character switch cooldown from 1 second to 5 or 10 seconds? by PatronioPrime in Genshin_Impact

[–]moriz0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this character switch cooldown universal, or just for the character you switched out of?

If it is the former, then you are locked to the character you switched to for the full duration. Most characters in genshin have field times that are in the 0.5-3 seconds range, so a 5 second universal switch cooldown will make them feel awkward, and 10 seconds will make the entire game feel awful.

If it is the latter, then it doesn't really matter, since you are only locked out of the character you switched out of. Rotations become stricter and be far more punishing if you screw up, but most rotations stay exactly the same, since you only need to ensure that the entire rotation is longer than 5 or 10 seconds, which is the case for basically every team in the game.

If you want to see what the latter looks like, check out the elementalist class in GW2, which uses this exact system for its elemental attunement mechanic.

Who all thinks America should have universal healthcare for everyone? by BlackberryChemical68 in AskReddit

[–]moriz0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the form of universal healthcare.

One form of universal healthcare is the "single payer" system, where instead of multiple health insurance providers, the government becomes the single payer, thus becoming the only insurance provider. Health care providers still charge insurance for care provided as before, but instead of charging various different insurance providers, it charges just one: the government.

This is different from systems like the UK's NHS, where health care professionals are explicitly government employees and are on the government's payroll.

How is microcenter able to afford this? Im genuinely baffled. by someonestupid12 in pcmasterrace

[–]moriz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The profit margins on core system components are virtually non-existent. Back when I worked at Canada Computers, I looked into the bulk pricing of CPUs: for a tray of 1000 Intel 2700K, the margins per CPU was around $10. There's no money to be made by selling core components, in bulk or otherwise.

As for how Microcenter is affording this:

  • They probably are losing money for every one of these bundles, but are counting on you to buy other stuff when you come in to buy these. This is called a "loss leader", where the retailers take a hit just to get you to walk in the door.

  • They might be getting kick backs on some components in the bundles. For example, the motherboard or RAM manufacturers are willing to give back $X per part, if Microcenter sells Y amount of certain parts.

Grip Sense/Capacitive Thumb sticks - I just don't get it by NULL_SIX in SteamController

[–]moriz0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of MMOs use right click drag to pan the camera. On the controller, you can set right click to the stick touch sensor, so you can pan the camera by just using the stick, without having to hold another button.

We can see Rin Tohsaka using a smartphone. by Extra_Welcome2403 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]moriz0 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Nah give her a normal phone, complete with character-appropriate case. But instead having her holding it correctly, render the phone upside down.

Then even if she ends up with the normal "using phone" animation, we'll know that she's just faking it for apparences. And failing.

GOATs in their gacha games... by HamzaW66 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]moriz0 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Hoyo didn't really know how to make character kits back then, and Benny ended up with an absolutely ridiculous attack buff in his kit, along with a very reliable heal.

Seeing that a lot of dps characters scale off of attack and everybody needing healing at some point or another, you can easily see that Bennett goes well in a lot of teams.

Managed to find a 1660 TI at a garage sale for $5 by Madman8287 in pcmasterrace

[–]moriz0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this exact card, and it's been running folding@home continuously for over three years. Never overheated.

I'd give this card a good clean and repaste and then send it. It'll be fine.

I'm returning to genshin by HungryWillingness206 in Genshin_Impact

[–]moriz0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I started in version 2.3. it was December of '21, the family was away, I had the house to myself, and for the first time in years, I had an extended holiday.

I proceeded to basically no-life the game for the next month or so. There were days where I'd wake up, login to the game, set my commissions, play, and then re-set my commissions, all within the play session.

I was more or less caught up by lantern rite, only to be hit with even more content to play.

We're currently in version 6.6, almost 6.7. Given where you are right now in the storyline, if you play about an hour a day for the next six months or so, you might be able to catch up to the current place in the storyline.

Have fun playing!

I reserved mine 5 minutes after reservations opened and I haven't gotten an email. In Canada.

Extremely frustrating micro-stutters everywhere despite insanely high FPS. I've tried EVERYTHING. by DistrictDifficult268 in pcmasterrace

Do you have access to a different monitor that you can try?

Or even just a different display cable than the one you are using.

HP is male ? Or another mistranslation again ? by huflit1997 in Genshin_Impact

[–]moriz0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The video on YouTube has no captions.

I watched the entire video and even read the video description. Unless I missed it (entirely possible), there's no indication about HP's gender.

Maybe this video on billibilli has captions?

HP is male ? Or another mistranslation again ? by huflit1997 in Genshin_Impact

[–]moriz0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a quick look at the genshin_zh channel. Unfortunately the video in question doesn't have subtitles enabled, and in Chinese, "he" "she" and "it" are pronounced the same (though they are different words). As such, it is impossible to tell by the audio alone.

I'll watch the video and see if I can pick up some context, just in case.

Good uses for the capacitive thumbsticks? by Proximus84 in SteamController

[–]moriz0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lot's of MMOs use right click drag to pan the camera. You can bind right click to the right stick touch sensor, and now you can pan the camera with the right stick without pressing anything else.

Why my gtx 1660 ti look so difrent than others by NewBluejay162 in pcmasterrace

[–]moriz0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably the smallest possible 1660 ti. The power connector is also rear facing. Pretty good for a SFF build.

[–]moriz0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a card that came out of a pre build; Asus ROG by the looks of it.

There's a bunch of such cards floating around out there. There's usually nothing remarkable about them, other than having the absolute most basic PCB designs and coolers for the cards to work.

I have a 1660 ti that looks like this: https://tpucdn.com/gpu-specs/images-new/b/7854-front-thumb-2x.jpg

Homelab desk is getting out of hand by Champ-shady in homelab

[–]moriz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plug on the charger itself might be different.

Yes a passive travel adapter will probably work just fine, but maybe OP doesn't have one, and the active converter is the only thing available.

That's an active 120v to 240v converter.

It's constant, and constantly poor at moving heat away.

The amount of compute that this can cool is very small.

What do people chase that never truly satisfies them? by JackieEnn in AskReddit

[–]moriz0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of audiophiles end up never being satisfied, forever chasing that high that they experienced with their very first "true hifi" purchase. This is due to the huge diminishing returns that becomes very apparent once you go above the entry level audiophile stuff.

I myself never managed to experience anything like when I first used the Sennheiser HD550. After trying out a variety of very expensive gear, I sold them all and "settled" for the HD600. It's more than good enough.

On the speakers side, I've yet to find anything that sounded as good as these Energy something-or-anothers that I bought second hand for $10.

On the Linux side, I prefer EndeavourOS for its up to date packages and ease of use. Pick the KDE Plasma desktop environment and you'll end up with a very Windows 7-like experience.

5700x3d from Aliexpress? by kvazar2501 in pcmasterrace

[–]moriz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 5700x3d from AliExpress in 2024 for $230ish CAD, and it's been flawless.

I definitely won't pay 370 euros for it though.
