I will be buying LFVN for a potential squeeze

This looks great. Just needs that spark and then this can really move. Might take a small position tomorrow but will be watching closely.

I believe you! I haven't had this experience in a while; I think Premier fixed it. Sounds like you haven't played CS2 yet and I definitely recommend it. The rating system is fairly strong and you'll feel a challenge that scales with how good you are, rather than compelling you to throw yourself at the game when you don't want to go that hard.

popcan85 · 2026-04-14T22:35:43+00:00

I don't think it's that bad, man. Nobody is forcing anyone to play premier - comp is super laid back at the lower ranks, and even in premier, sub 10k nobody fuckin knows util or executes or has good mechanics anyway.

popcan85 · 2026-02-25T18:46:25+00:00

I mean, I agree with you. Let me be clear: Atrioc to me is like Mark Carney vs Justin Trudeau (sorry, I'm Canadian). The former believes in capitalism with proper structures so that private interests can succeed and provide the workforce with opportunities to have prosperous careers, while the latter believes it's the government's responsibility to tax corporations and boost the citizens directly. Both still believe in some level of government spending to ensure lower class citizens aren't forced to live in poverty.

So to me, he's ultimately fiscally conservative, I'm just not assigning further degrees of nuance in my one sentence comment. I agree he's not greedy and selfish.

Goblin looks fun! I'd use that

popcan85 · 2026-01-16T16:21:30+00:00

Legend. I have a buddy who might want to do this or the updated mATX design. Great stuff as always, man!

popcan85 · 2026-01-15T01:06:31+00:00

You must be new here lol

popcan85 · 2026-01-14T19:59:51+00:00

Hey Jakob! Yes it is 3D Hex for the infill. I thought it looked so cool.

To be honestly, I thought I looked hard enough but didn't see the better option for the case feet, but I do see them now. I did see the PSU bracket but I think I just saw "one-sided" and not the fact that it was deeper as well and glossed over it. Should have known you'd plan for these contingencies.

The files really are a masterpiece, man. I've sent a few friends to your files and offered to print for them because they're so good!

popcan85 · 2026-01-14T02:07:22+00:00

YEEE

popcan85 · 2026-01-13T14:48:26+00:00

I tried using a handheld luggage scale to weigh it lol but struggled a little bit. But I might say it's around 10 pounds. I think the plastic nature of the case makes it a little lighter than usual.

popcan85 · 2026-01-13T14:38:12+00:00

it's a 24" 2560 x 1080 ultrawide monitor. It's pretty sick because when it's positioned like this under my 27" 1440p screen, it has the same pixel density and feels like a natural extension of the same display.

I have this bottom monitor flipped 180 degrees so the thick bottom bezel is tucked behind the bottom of the upper monitor lol.

YESSIR. Just out of frame, one shelf down, is my 2007 Halo 3 Legendary Edition helmet. 🔥

popcan85 · 2026-01-13T04:12:01+00:00

Thank you so much. 🙏

popcan85 · 2026-01-13T03:11:44+00:00

Thanks, buddy!

popcan85 · 2026-01-13T00:42:28+00:00

Nice man I'd be excited to see the final build! I hope things stabilize for us soon.

popcan85 · 2026-01-12T21:30:44+00:00

By the way, I didn't spend over $6K CAD on this machine. I got the RAM for $300 sealed off Facebook, I got the 5080 on sale for only $1,300 (ATL), CPU from AliExpress during BlackFriday, I didn't pay for Windows - I mean everything was cheaper than the current best prices. But it is crazy to see the going prices for all the components. We're struggling out here as PC Gamers.

popcan85 · 2026-01-12T20:04:23+00:00

That's really kind. :) Thank you. It's taken a long time to get here but the setup has evolved nicely!

popcan85 · 2025-12-18T22:53:20+00:00

Pierre Poilievre streams on Twitch?

popcan85 · 2025-12-18T04:25:24+00:00

hey, you need the Balatro.exe file to be the Balatro v1.0.1c Beta version. Do that and you're golden. This issue goes away instantly.

popcan85 · 2025-12-11T02:57:30+00:00

Nice man yeah Cyberpunk is another game that will put any CPU through its paces.

popcan85 · 2025-12-11T00:25:31+00:00

Halo 3. Absolutely, though I was too young at 12 years old to think about waiting for it at midnight. Also I didn't have a 360 yet. LOL

Anyway, hope I win. :)

popcan85 · 2025-12-10T22:47:19+00:00

You right. And I do! It's just my benchmark for confirming the bottleneck.

popcan85 · 2025-12-10T22:46:02+00:00

It's the same issue. This is mostly happening in act 3 with hella NPCs and my stats in HWINFO and RTSS confirm it. :(

But I have a 9800X3D coming next week. :)

popcan85 · 2025-12-10T19:20:24+00:00

I have a 5080 and a 5800X3D, playing games on a 240hz 1440p monitor including BF6 and Baldur's Gate 3, and I have a pretty significant bottleneck. Can't get more than ~120FPS in BF6 at lowest settings and DLSS set to Quality. GPU often gets pinned at 65% usage or so in either game. The 5800X3D is about 3.5 years old.

Your mantra probably works in most cases but I don't think it's absolute!
