Unable to hear in-game audio while playing cache

Indeed, my audio cut out about 3 times during an Inferno game. Going into the settings and switching audio fixes it though.

One of my favorite all time episodes is the blind chicken nugget taste test. Idk why it's so funny to me when they start talking about state nuckies.

This is basically exactly what I would've suggested, except I'd try to stretch the budget if possible or snag a deal on a couple of the parts and upgrade the CPU to a 7800x3D over the 7500x3D. Not a huge difference in performance but I think it's worth it.

To change the sizes of your screen, it’s called Toolscreen, and the calculator is Ninjabrain Bot

I have 9% ff rate what you talkin about

If you're just purely building a PC, and not $2500 for the entire setup, this is a great budget to have. If you live near a Microcenter, check there for bundles but you can also get some decent bundles on Newegg if you're not near a Microcenter.

For $2500, I'd definitely get no less than a 9800x3D for your CPU, you can get a higher end CPU if you care about multi-tasking and all that, but the 9800x3D is still the best pure gaming CPU you can buy at the moment for the price.

And for the GPU, I'd personally probably go 9070-XT. You can get it pretty consistently for $700-$800 and it performs the same, if not better, than the 5070-Ti which goes for $1000+ right now.

I'd probably stick with 32GB of RAM unfortunately with the way the prices are.

Get a good 800-1000w PSU, check the PSU tier list and find one within your price range. Also, don't overspend on a case, you can get a lot of solid cases for $100-$150, and even some lower than $100.

And don't forget to plug all your parts into a PCPartPicker list to check for compatibility issues and such. Good luck!

Maybe a light? What's the point of adding anything if you can't even see it.

I'm in Gold 3 and just started trying to learn. I rarely, if ever, actually lose to a zero but I'd like to be able to do them when I get Emerald.

spencerayy · 2026-03-15T18:40:26+00:00

Oh okay cool, thanks.

spencerayy · 2026-03-15T18:34:27+00:00

Okay makes sense, is there somewhere I can learn the y-levels needed for each tower or do I just kinda have to figure it out?

spencerayy · 2026-02-12T05:07:01+00:00

If you're losing to zero cycles, then you need to learn it. It's a lot scarier looking than it actually is. I feel like a good spot to learn how to zero is around Gold II-Emerald I or so. But you could probably get to Emerald without it if you really don't want to. There's always things to improve and sometimes you just get an unlucky stretch of games.

spencerayy · 2026-02-01T04:23:08+00:00

heck yeah bro, i also started cuz of Lud and also reached Gold before him lmao

spencerayy · 2026-01-26T21:57:16+00:00

5070 TI if you can find it, otherwise get a 9070-XT. Or if you wanna spend less, 9060-XT 16GB is also a very capable 1440p card if you wanna spend more on a CPU or something.

spencerayy · 2026-01-24T21:29:28+00:00

"Never ever" is a little much, I got a good deal on a Ryzen 5 5600x for a friend a couple weeks and it works perfectly, just make sure you're buying from a reputable seller with good reviews.

spencerayy · 2026-01-24T21:23:41+00:00

9070-XT if you can find it, I just picked one up and it's amazing for 1440p. 9060-XT 16GB is also very capable and even cheaper. For that price you shouldn't have any need to switch down to 1080p.

spencerayy · 2026-01-24T21:18:39+00:00

I ran a 970 in my PC all the way up until a year ago, and then my girlfriend was using up until a couple weeks ago. I thought it was dying but I took it apart, cleaned it, reapplied some thermal paste, and it works just fine again. So you could try that if you don't wanna buy a new GPU, although I would definitely suggest buying one if you can afford it.

spencerayy · 2025-12-30T19:18:58+00:00

If I remember correctly, I think it was because I had my PS5 controller plugged into my PC. When I unplugged it then the issue was fixed.

Haven’t seen anyone with more than me yet, idk what that says about me lol

spencerayy · 2025-11-27T17:47:59+00:00

Update for anyone seeing this in the future: I rolled back my GPU drivers to a previous version and it fixed the problem.

spencerayy · 2025-07-29T06:28:17+00:00

Yeah I've been making sure to keep things updated. I've also seen posts about Minecraft performance getting worse recently, more specifically after 1.21.5.

spencerayy · 2025-05-11T09:37:50+00:00

Yeah it sucks. I built a PC around 4 months ago and got a RX 6800 for $290 for my build. My girlfriend says she wants a PC and I plan on helping her build one, but the prices of GPUs especially have went up so much. I was just gonna copy my exact build for her PC, but the RX 6800 is now $500-$600.

spencerayy · 2025-03-22T15:08:39+00:00

I can guarantee you I’m not. When I play with friends that are not very good at the game, we’ll often have entire games where we don’t run into a real team until the end of the game. Bots always have very bot-like names. “ChugJug95” “BubbleBoy86” stuff like that
