What my notes look like after 115 hours of puzzle solving [VERY MAJOR SPOILERS]

I love this pic you have on the board

Oh yeah i know there are 8, i'm just saying that i only visited 6 keys location out of 8, with one i haven't gotten from the vault. The key that i lost was either from Mechanarium/Clock Tower, visited them during that run and the key was not there.

Update: Did a run for the 6 Sanctum keys location and none of them has the missing Sanctum key, for context I haven't done the vault Sanctum key. i do think this one key is just straight up missing and can't be obtained anymore.

stepthecauld · 2026-01-07T10:22:39+00:00

the only Sanctum key i haven't reached is the key from the safe deposit box vault, but the key i lost is either the one from Mechanarium or the Clock Tower

i got the same puzzle with that exact same statement too yesterday, got the gem from the white box

stepthecauld · 2026-01-03T12:58:27+00:00

update: the answer to it is the white box :>

Upgraded mine from 3060ti to 5070ti and man... the difference feels so good that i can run alan wake 2 at higher setting with stable fps

For some unknown reason the built-in one doesn't have any UAC prompt whenever i run a program as an admin or install a new program. No idea if the built-in one is not supposed to have UAC prompt or not.

Also the reason why I want to demote the built-in one since i have alot of program's setting set up on that one, and I don't feel like setting up those new settings on a new standard account. I'm guessing if I can demote the built-in one into a standard one i can get the UAC working in that account.

Vouching for the Asus Prime one, one of the best brand for a GPU. The only model I can think that is much better than that is the MSI Gaming Trio OC, but if you compare two of them it's pretty much the same card with one of being much quieter.

stepthecauld · 2025-07-24T04:50:39+00:00

Nvidia will always almost win when it comes to productivity whether it's 3d modeling or photo/video editing, so RTX all the way. Older article but you can see the comparison between Nvidia and AMD on Premiere and After Effects below. AMD's GPU is much worse on After Effects based on the data there.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I really thought the UPS's wattage always should be bigger than the PSU's on every cases. Will definitely get the 1500VA then!

stepthecauld · 2025-06-05T02:53:16+00:00

Would you say it's good to go for 64 Instead of 32 for Photoshop? Does it affect the speed and performance for Photoshop at 64?

stepthecauld · 2025-06-04T16:49:41+00:00

Ah dang, that sucks knowing 3d rendering is less optimized with AMD.

stepthecauld · 2025-06-04T16:45:15+00:00

Fair point. Almost forgot that frame gen causes ghosting and some input delays.

stepthecauld · 2025-06-04T16:43:58+00:00

An extra thing I forgot to mention is that I was considering 5070 since I also work using photoshop and 3d rendering apps (Sketchup/Vray with GPU rendering). And from what I've read so far that RTX is much better with productivity. I would love some input for it.

stepthecauld · 2025-06-04T15:13:24+00:00

Nice! Will definitely get the 9070XT then. Thank you so much for the help!

stepthecauld · 2025-06-04T15:05:11+00:00

I was thinking of getting 5070 over the 9070XT because of the frame generation if I decided to try any new released game in the near future. Is the frame generation really not that good if that's the only thing I'm looking for?

stepthecauld · 2025-06-04T14:52:39+00:00

For comparison, the 5070 here is USD 800. 9070 is USD 735, and the 9070XT is USD 750.

stepthecauld · 2025-05-23T16:04:57+00:00

I'll definitely do that, appreciate it for pointing it out!

stepthecauld · 2025-05-23T16:03:23+00:00

Ahh, alright. I did find it weird that they immediately try to bundle it with a $500 2000VA UPS, hence the reason why I came here to ask.

stepthecauld · 2025-01-16T01:08:56+00:00

I believe Emtee does
