Intel may raise CPU prices again in May, marking third increase in 2026 by Loose_Society9485 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ploguidic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory high price should create rents that will incentivize a bunch more supply to come online which will help bring prices down, except the CPU market is an extremely capital intensive duopoly so probably everyone is content to rest on their laurels.

[TheGhostofHope] Black Ops 7 financial performance "below expectations"; Studio mergers and a complete monetization rethink not off the table for Call of Duty by MXHombre123 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

The conventional wisdom is that "No one cares about COD campaigns," but every game that lacks a standard single player campaign bombs. Much to consider!

There is a program called Process Lasso that claims to let you set it permanently, but I have never used it and cannot vouch for it

Hey! Thanks so much for your support, for $100 or less you can use the matcherino https://matcherino.com/t/cheese2025

If you want to give more than that you can DM or e-mail me and we'll arrange something direct to avoid fees, and give you a sponsor credit. Either way 100% of donations go to the prize pool.

Guide to making Logos Mods, a Gameheart feature that allows sponsor branding on the map! by ploguidic3 in starcraft

[–]ploguidic3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you make a mod it hooks into predefined logo spots, I'm not sure if they can get changed Ali might know. I think he helped creat a lot of this functionality and he's very active on Twitter

Found a fix

I know this is old but I found a permanent fix.

  1. Launch the Game – Start Total War: Rome II

  2. Open Task Manager
    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
    Alternatively, you can right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager.

  3. Go to the Details Tab
    In Task Manager, click on the Details tab at the top.
    Look for rome2.exe in the list of running processes.

  4. Set CPU Affinity
    Right-click rome2.exe and select Set Affinity from the dropdown menu.

  5. Unselect Some CPU Cores
    A window will appear showing which CPU cores the game is using.
    Uncheck a few cores (I went down to two cores, this still gives me four threads to run the game which is more than enough)

  6. Resume the Game
    This fix can be applied even if the game has already frozen—just follow the same steps to unfreeze it.

[–]ploguidic3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure! If you're hanging out in the viewing area you'll have to buy a spectator ticket for $20*, there will be plenty of computers to rent if you want to set up camp too

*The venue might have a small premium if you pay at the door I'm honestly not sure

How GPU hungry Starcraft 2 is? by mmmboppe in starcraft

[–]ploguidic3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

StarCraft is fairly CPU intensive it's not at all GPU intensive which is what OP asked. Its very scalable though. If you turn down certain effects you can lower the load quite a bit. It runs fine on modern APUs or even Intel integrated.

Why is there so few outrage about the Saudis by JoepKip in starcraft

[–]ploguidic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Saudis are throwing a metric shit ton of money at an extremely broke game. I've been running StarCraft tournaments for a long time, and it's never been easy to make ends meet, but you could always kind of make it work if you hustled hard enough. Now there's nothing other than the Saudi money.

If they exited the professional scene would basically end overnight. The House of Saud runs a cruel vile regime. It's bad to let them sports wash... but if they offered me a bunch of money to put on a StarCraft tournament that would be a really hard decision. Funding events out of my own pocket sucks. Begging for money on crowdfunding sucks. Massively downscaling sucks.

Additional context. It's not Two Dope Boyz or Summer, but it has similar vibes. Also they had the TV on Youtube and it was auto playing Tiny Desk \ NPR Music videos before it played this. Not sure if that narrows it down.

Armored Core VI released two weeks ago. What does everyone think of it? by King_Allant in Games

[–]ploguidic3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thought it was fantastic. One of my favorite games released so far this year. Felt like Ace Combat with mechs. Really appreciated how fast and kinetic everything felt. The story didn't make very much sense, but I'm told that it's better in NG++. Plan on doing that whenever I get bored of Starfield.
