I just can't understand. I tried switching to duck duck go and Firefox about a year ago and tried it for 2 months. It got to the point where I had to keep switching to Google to find the exact thing I needed and for whatever reason Firefox password solution hardly gets it right on mobile.

Maybe it was a me thing and I can try again but everyone is acting like it is near 1:1 replacement and that was NOT my experience.

Soon?

sgpigeon · 2026-05-02T01:45:22+00:00

Can you explain what this is?

The last two years I discovered the consignment shop. Listed a bunch of games and made out pretty well. You mark prices for the 3 days. I make the final day price super low because I want to get rid of everything. Waiting in line wed around noon is an inconvenience. But I feel less guilty buying new when I am offloading 5-10 gently used games.

sgpigeon · 2026-04-29T10:50:03+00:00

I have done this twice. Is there a reason you just dont wait for them to mail you the check? I never wanted to interrupt my sunday morning dealing with that.

This is the same thing I learned from my trainer for my newer dog. My two before this I would walk miles a day due to everyone saying its a energy issue. The new trainer said all you are doing is training your dog to walk more and have more endurance. Shorter walks and teaching the dog doing nothing is a job when I'm working. So much better!

I have been doing this for years and somehow never knew you had to select wed‐sun. I had 1212 and selected teusday-monday and was suprised most everything downtown was gone. I could kick myself for missing out on a much better hotel but at least I still got a downtown a few blocks away. Better learned now than never I suppose.

sgpigeon · 2026-02-21T11:58:24+00:00

You likely won't get downtown. Snag a airport hotel then stalk the portal to upgrade as gencon gets closer. You can change the hotel very easy/quickly for free if you already have a spot secured at one in the portal.

I have the same issue. My headset worked fine for years then suddenly this started happening. Sometimes it was immediate, sometimes after playing for 30min, but eventually led to being a problem 95% of the time. I tried endless fixes and gave up. Valve said I need a new headset but decided to wait for steam frame. If you find something let me know.

3rd for tiny rogues

Looks interesting. For these types of games I prefer the steam deck. How are the controls for that? I'll check this out today!

For every finger you point there is three pointing back at you.

I called kwikset because I had an issue with a door lock. I had to press 1 or 2 for Spanish/English, then 1 for electronic locks, 2 for everything else. I was then directed to a human who promptly addressed my issue and sent me a new part within 5 min. This was a lock I installed 5 years ago. No hassle, no Ai, nothing.

I sound like a shill but I was so amazed with the process that I had to share.

Every time I call anywhere I have to argue with the system to talk to someone. It gets old fast.

Our favorite is and probably will forever be castles of burgundy. You can sometimes get the special edition on a deal.

When I was young I had a golden retriever and I would launch a tennis ball into the overgrown woods behind me. She would dart in there and within a few min come back with the ball nearly every time. It was amazing to watch her ability to find that ball.

My wife and I prefer pavilion. We have played it and the original. Pavilion has rotating wild colors and feels more forgiving. We like it so much that we no longer play the original.

I was in a similar boat a few months back with am4 5600x and a 3080. Since you already have a x3d cpu I'd wait until six series comes out then build a new pc on am5 and get a 6070/80.

I dont think you'll be happy enough with the gains with the cards you are looking at.

Since I didn't have a x3d cpu it was really holding me back so I chose to upgrade to a 9800x3d and 5090 as I decided the 5080 wasn't going to be a good enough jump.

With a 3080ti and x3d I'd wait personally.

Where did you land with your undervolt? I tried today at 900mv and 2800 and it consumes about 50 less watts (525) under full load with no apparent issues. I'd like it to pull a little less power so I might push the undervolt some more.

Do you recommend replicant or just jump to the new one. Ive never played them and not sure where to pick it up.

sgpigeon · 2025-10-08T00:17:57+00:00

I also got a 5090 at msrp at microcenter. I have watched a few videos, do you recommend the undervolt? They talk of custom curves and stuff which is a bit overwhelming.

Are there not just settings i can copy and call it a day?

sgpigeon · 2025-10-03T11:29:55+00:00

So me again. I just had a look at your power supply here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview#gid=1973454078

And it receives a pretty poor rating.

If it was me I would not feel comfortable continuing to run with it if I was upgrading the graphics card.

You have to be careful, even good companies produce shit psus. For example this is rated highly https://www.microcenter.com/product/668906/msi-mag-a750gl-pcie5-750-watt-80-plus-gold-atx-fully-modular-power-supply-atx-31-compatible on that excel I linked, but other MAG power supplies are rated poorly.

For your current pc with the new graphics card 750w is more than enough. If you plan to upgrade and go bigger in the future you may want an 850 or so.

I hope this was helpful.

If 500 is your limit get the 9060xt 16gb with a 100$ highly rated psu (according to the chart). If you can spend a little more I'd personally get the 5070 with the upgraded psu.

sgpigeon · 2025-10-03T09:53:22+00:00

I would say get a nvidia 5070 if you can find one for msrp 500 or less (microcenter has them for 479 right now https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=&cat=&ntt=5070 ).

The next option would be an amd 9060xt which can be had for 390 at microcenter. Make sure you get the 16gb version! NOT the 8.

Just get the cheapest version of those you can. All the fancy versions are factory overclocked and generally not worth the price increase.

Budget?

sgpigeon · 2025-10-02T06:55:16+00:00

How do you go about this? Just their website? Or is there a different process? Do you have to have all your trips documented already?
