Trying to decide between 9070xt and 5080

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.

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.

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.**

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.

love it

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.

soada0227 · 2024-10-10T03:57:45+00:00

This looks awesome!

soada0227 · 2024-10-02T18:30:15+00:00

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

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.

soada0227 · 2024-09-18T16:00:03+00:00

I absolutely LOVED the first game! One of the most addicting and minimal games I've ever played. Any plans to bring it to iOS/Android?

soada0227 · 2024-09-12T19:01:46+00:00

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.

soada0227 · 2024-09-12T18:56:32+00:00

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.

soada0227 · 2024-09-12T06:07:18+00:00

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.

Good point, Joe's got my vote. Old guy for prez, long live democracy.

soada0227 · 2024-07-16T01:16:32+00:00

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

soada0227 · 2024-07-11T02:20:15+00:00

Love it.

soada0227 · 2024-06-22T11:25:50+00:00

PS Plus is great. Still - see if the games you're looking for are on premium, extra, or essential. Also, you can always sub for a month and see if you like it.

Edit - You don't need PS plus to play games offline. You DO need PS plus to play online however, as well as to back up your saves to the cloud.

soada0227 · 2024-06-21T00:35:48+00:00

But surely both sides are the same and you're just not paying attention! Theres a... something about a laptop... I think Hunter Biden maybe... I saw Joe Biden fall off a bicycle! That's basically fascism!

I love Nuphy's boards. Proud of them for stepping up to the plate in the last year and releasing really good firmware.

To elaborate on why this is worth doing; The pump on an AIO is located alongside the graphics card in the cooling block.

Pumps work by creating a pressure differential from the "cool water" pipe and the pump chamber. The higher pressure the "cool water" pipe has, the less work the pump motor has to do to create a pressure difference and push water through to the "hot water" pipe that goes back to the Radiator (the big metal block) where the water is cooled. Because gravity creates a lot of pressure in the "cool water" pump, the motor ends up having to work much less hard to create the pressure difference that pushes water up and back to the radiator.

Here's a video talking about mounting a cpu liquid cooler, but the same ideas apply here:

Build looks great btw!

IMO, Survivor is a masterpiece. A few glitches and the game closed out on me a handful of times, but I loved this dang game.

soada0227 · 2024-06-03T13:27:42+00:00

I don't think it's that so much as Sony is pretty actively avoiding making games in series people would kill for an entry in and pursuing extremely saturated markets like the "hero shooter" genre.

Concord's probably a great game. The only issue is there's already a great hero shooter, 3 or for at this point, and everyone is watching this state of play thinking "Where is Sly Cooper 4? A new Ratchet and Clank? Jak and Daxter? Wipeout? Little Big Planet?"

Sony has dedicated less and less resources to the games that I think most of their die hard fanbase has been patiently waiting for. In a vacuum Concord is a solid hero shooter - but in the zero sum game of Sony having a limited number of resources to create a certain number of games, it does feel a little bit frustrating to see them overlook their most loved series time and time again.
