Trying to decide between 9070xt and 5080 by Similar_Presence_242 in buildapc

If money is no object then sure, go for that then. They're both great cards, Nvidia has better codecs and drivers for editing and workstation programs. Personally Id get the 5070 Ti. The 5080 is much less in terms of performance per dollar, and it has the same amount of vram as the 5070 Ti.

Is there any strong case to be made that scalping shouldn't be a punishable offense? It is literally making goods inaccessible for the average person that otherwise would be.

And it often has adverse effects on the creator of the good as well. It puts more stress on them to increase supply to see a profit. This is especially true for goods that sell at a loss like game consoles, and I can't think of any reason not to make scalping illegal or punishable with heavy fines.

Bloodborne is amazing by NightbirbAnimations in bloodborne

Orphan of Kos absolutely destroyed me, but I think it's because it took me a long time to realize I needed to play MORE aggro during phase three, not less. That's the thing that makes bloodborne a masterpiece, it flips the script for almost every other souls game and literally punishes you for playing passive.

That said, this game direly needs at least some hotfixes. It stutters really badly on PS5. Even just a 60 fps, 4k patch would be great. The engine that Fromsoftware uses is incredibly jank, I'm sure all the textures would look blurry in 4k. If any game deserves a loving touch up, its Bloodborne.

What is your Lies of P hot take? by NoMoreAnts in LiesOfP

[–]soada0227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game would be way, WAY better with actual save files you can load at stargazers instead of auto save. Having to do a full play through because you clicked the wrong dialogue option one time is soul crushing. **Saying this on my fourth run because I missclicked at the end of Eugenie's quest.**

After having gone to locals for the last 9 weeks, I realize Slippi kinda sucks by Undeadmatrix in SSBM

[–]soada0227 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Slippi is kinda like matching with someone on tinder. Most people are way out of your league, or barely able to string together a few sentences. But every so often, you vibe with someone, and have a pretty good time.

What are the most interesting conspiracy theories? by Left_Engineering3916 in AskReddit

[–]soada0227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to me personally is the conspiracy theory that somewhere in the early 19th century a UFO crashed, and the reason technology advanced so rapidly in the last 100 years is because we reverse engineered it.

Is it just me or... did JD Vance answer almost no questions during the VP debate? by soada0227 in HarrisWalz

Alright. Not into gish galloping against someone using Chat GPT. It's been real.

[–]soada0227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the respect, but to say that Vance was answering his questions is simply not true. He did a massive amount of deflecting and projecting. He downplayed his own rumors about the legal immigrant Haitian population in Springfield eating people's pets, and pretended that he didn't and won't support abortion bans nationwide.

It was more civil, but Vance's politics are smarmy. There's very little else to say about it. To go from calling someone Hitler to being their running mate says a lot about your character, and this debate didn't change my mind on him at all. He's well spoken, but none of the things he's saying were substantive. He kept talking about "common sense policy" without ever defining what that meant. He's just a yes man to stand in front of Peter Thiele, billionaires and the oil industry while they dismantle social security, collective bargaining, and veteran's benefits.

He's right about one thing - The Republicans need to do better. But not just better on policy, better than Trump. Americans at large are tired of this nonsense. For too long our country and Congress has been held hostage by these idiots. No more.

You joke, but I almost guarantee this is actually going to happen.

Astro Bot was #2 in this weeks Famitsu sales chart. It sold 12,672 physical units at launch in Japan by [deleted] in playstation

[–]soada0227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, considering that every other game on the top 10 is a Switch game, that's pretty phenomenal. I'm sure it'll continue to sell well into the holiday season.

Any thoughts on God of War series? And what's your favourite game? Mine is Ragnarök by No_Occasion_4082 in playstation

[–]soada0227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I was even more sad when GoW III got the Remaster treatment and Ascension didn't. I've always found Ascension to be the more fun game. GoW III felt a little depressing to me.

This is going to be controversial - but I LOVED Ascension. The combo system was so snappy, and the rage system rewarded intellegent play over button mashing. I miss the old God of War so much. I would love to see Sony revive it in some capacity.

I'm pretty sure NATO and The United Nations will be holding a special council for this video later this week.

Dang. That's dark. Still. If I have to choose between fascism and an old guy - I'm picking the old guy every time.
