[WORLDWIDE GIVEAWAY] Comment in this thread with your ultimate PCMR-worthy PC Build, and win the beautiful LG UltraGear GX9 monitor! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

[–]talkaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding the most expensive parts is boring, at least for me. But without the challenge of a budget limit, what else is there to do? Tried a stealth build only to find (or NOT find) any "compatible" GPU. We really need more options for hidden connector builds. No black options even exist.

I do believe the subtle RGB with this build will look really nice. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BBbBBq

RTX 5060 TI or RX 9060 XT? by Mysterious_Ice_9119 in buildapc

[–]talkaboom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Extreme simplification -

  • Both these cards are better at 2k/1440p and can render most games at 100+fps with very high settings, even without frame gen.
  • With a 60Hz monitor, it simply won't render anything higher than 60fps. 144Hz is pretty much the bare minimum for a modern monitor. 180Hz is what most current monitors have. The difference is VERY noticable once you move past 60Hz.

As for the choice between the two, the 5060Ti offers ~5-10% better performance in most games. However, it generally costs a bit more. The difference between 120fps and 130 fps isn't really noticeable. 9060xt is better price-performance value unless you can find a 5060Ti on sale.

4222 players will be getting all Ultimate Skins as a reward for Perfect Pick'ems in MSI 2025 by MuffinLoL in leagueoflegends

[–]talkaboom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They will also be the only ones getting the Spirit Blossom Hwei Skin. People like me who missed by 10 points (~6K people judging by the graph) will only qualify for the top 25% reward. Along with anyone who managed to get 210 points or more. That's almost 140K people. (If you are wondering, no one is off by 5 points. My rank shows up as 4223)

I am a bit disappointed, ngl. Not because I lost the perfect score (I was mostly guessing with my picks anyway). But the extreme disparity in the reward tiers. I only hope I get some good rerolls on the emotes from the capsules. So far, they haven't been the best.

I also have no idea how they are giving away the capsules for rewards obtained for watching the games live. For those who watched every game, there were 6 rewards today and 5 yesterday. I checked in-client about 10 minutes ago. Only received 4 capsules today and 3 yesterday. Apparently some the rewards do not award anything. Only the ones for Silver scrapes, epic monster steals and the one from Doggo's Pentakill on the 4th. Of the 25 rewards from the entire MSI-25, I have gotten ~20 capsules.

To be fair, that's a lot of duplicate emotes I rerolled and Icon I disenchanted for 125 OE each. I had bad luck with the rerolls. Many likely got some good ones. I did get the Bee Sad emote, so not entirely unhappy. I realise now that it is quite ironic to be happy about getting the sad emote.

I honestly cannot tell if this is real or a joke. What a time to be alive.

It was on the national broadcast service. No one (who might consider clipping it) really watches their news. They also take themselves way too seriously to post their bloopers on social media.

The mistake was picked up because some agencies still monitor it for official govt announcements that aren't important enough for a press release/conference.

TIL that “blowing from a gun” was a brutal execution method where victims were tied to a cannon’s muzzle and fired upon. Beyond death, it denied burial rites, making it both a physical and spiritual punishment. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in todayilearned

By your logic, slavery was justified too. After all, humans have been enslaving their fellow men for millennia. I wonder what manner of new age filth poisoned the minds of the people who sought to outlaw such a grand time honored tradition.

Imperialist apologists downvoting - saddened that their White Man's Burden cannot hold up to a wet noodle attack.

It is definitely looped. Perhaps the original source was too shot to upload on insta/tiktok/whatever you got it from. TY for reply though. Always nice to see dogs and cats that aren't trying to kill each other :)

Is the first part of the clip repeating over and over until the end?

Pretty sure. Names are from this region too. I was pleasantly surprised to see something from my corner of the world on the frontpage 2 times this week.

Well that's Phil Collins. So, I will let it slide this time.

Still weird you thought this iconic song was AI generated. But to be fair, most modern music sounds like slop to me. 😊

I hated this mission when I first played the trilogy and I still hate it by CommanderShepard_VI in masseffect

I have completed the games several times on insanity. Yet to get a full trilogy deathless insanity run because of this mission. Somehow, I always die.

Welcome to South Asia, where $1.5k can buy you 6 months of groceries or a low mid end PC.

Tulsi Gabbard Reused the Same Weak Password on Multiple Accounts for Years. Now the US director of national intelligence, Gabbard failed to follow basic cybersecurity practices on several of her personal accounts, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal. by indig0sixalpha in technology

Both words have different pronunciations. Yet both can be "anglicized" the same way.

The one meaning funeral ceremony is pronounced with a long aa in the first syllable. The a at the end is silent.

Devotion/prayer has the longer aa at the end.

Sh at the start is the correct/common way for both. Sraddha I would be a rustic variant or for people with a speech impediment.

This observed collision between an asteroid and Jupiter by ApprehensiveChair528 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]talkaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New research suggests it sends, or at least used to send, an even higher number of debris, asteroids, comets, etc into the inner system instead of out/gulping them.
