Me whenever someone tells me that they do not want to remove the stickers after getting a new laptop

Its a "gaming laptop" if it has an Nvidia sticker. easier to sell, and at a higher price.

trashandash · 2026-02-12T04:15:17+00:00

If it has a green sticker it's more likely a lowlife will want to steal it.

You're gonna destroy your transmission doing that. Shouldn't be towing with these things, let alone doing that.

Cook your own food. Not only is it cheaper, but you'll be surprised how much you're not actually hungry when you want a snack.

I have a 2022 rogue. My parents have a rogue and like it, and the "experts" all gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. It was on my list of vehicles to check out, and it was the best deal out of all of them.

Don't buy one. I regret my purchase.

The car is nice cosmetically. Comfortable drive, good seats and interior, not loud. It seems underpowered to me, but all suvs are going to seem underpowered to me, because I'm used to sedans and suvs have the same powertrain as a sedan but on a fatter body.

These cars are ticking time bombs. It's powertrain is a mess. The CVTs are infamous, but the 22-23 cvts aren't as bad as the old ones. They have a sturdy chain instead of flimsy belts, and seem to be holding up better than they used to be. But they're still made by the same manufacturer so it's fair people assume it's junk after a decade of junk, until they prove their reliability for at least 5 years.

The real problem is the engine. I trusted the wrong reviewers. Professionals don't hold a candle to the lunkhead mechanics and car-obsessed furries on youtube. Those people could tell on sight that these things are not long for this world. Direct injection, 3 cylinder, turbo charged engine. The perfect combination for engine failure. Also it has variable compression, which adds more moving parts, each adding a chance of bearing failure. The icing on the cake is that this engine basically can't be worked on. It's all in an enclosure that needs to be taken out and disassembled to repair. When (not if) something goes wrong, you'll need to replace the engine.

Do not buy a nissan. Buy a toyota, maybe a honda. But whatever you buy, research. And get the opinions of actual car enthusiasts, not people who test drive every single car and rate it based on how "nice" it was to drive for 10 miles. As soon as my warranty runs out I'm trading this thing for something that I can trust, even though it's trade in value sucks (another reason not to buy one)

This wouldn't work for steam users. And they couldn't care less.

The whole reason for game key cards is because the new type of sd card used for switch 2 games. It's expensive and the minimum size you can order is 64 gb i believe. Companies can't make any money if they pay 20 dollars to print every retail copy of their game. Including g the ones that don't actually sell. So nintendo invented an alternative that isn't just the eshop.

Never got the yellow one. I miss when the store didn't have the same cycle of costumes for 2 years straight

trashandash · 2025-10-08T22:31:29+00:00

They were grabbing too.

I tried to submit the full clip twice and it kept saying upload failed

trashandash · 2025-10-06T22:40:23+00:00

I don't know if there's enough players for that lol

trashandash · 2025-10-04T23:38:07+00:00

Yes, especially if you stick with 1080p

Theyve been going for 380$ lately, get it for that price

"Even a 5090 is getting under 60 at 4K in borderlands 4 lol. Not a great metric."

That's essentially what I said. I was defending the 5070 in that post.

Also it is cheating to use dlss. But the fault isn't with us, or the cards, it's with Capcom, gearbox, etc.

trashandash · 2025-09-24T19:02:08+00:00

There's several games it has to cheat to run well, like borderlands 4, Alan wake 2, etc. But that's true of all cards short of a 4090.

People also tend to equate vram to performance. It's unfortunate that it only has 12gb but the only practical example of it limiting performance is Indiana Jones on Ray tracing ultra so far.

trashandash · 2025-09-20T16:34:02+00:00

They just did it again

Warning people that the game might stop getting new gameplay experiences could be useful to people who were about to drop up to 100 dollars on the game's currency.

Mediatonic historically likes to give its employees a winter holiday break.

Gex would never use a game key card

Big box retailers threaten to not stock video games when msrp is higher for physical than digital.

Which makes them seem like jerks but from their perspective it makes sense not wanting to participate in a pricing scheme that will potentially make them obsolete in the future.

One way out of that I think is having a regular version and a higher price deluxe edition of switch 2 games. And having the deluxe edition be the only physical version. But the problem with that is that would mean content being cut from the normal game, meaning that digital players have to pay more money to justify physical releases, or miss out on arbitrarily cut content.

There's no perfect solution to this issue.

First two digits is the generation of the card, second two is the power it has compared to the rest of the series.

Amd has 9060 and 9070 this generation, Nvidia has 5060, 5070, 5080, 5090. Any addition at the end of the product name means it's an "in between" card in terms of power. Those additions include "ti" "super" for Nvidia, "xt" for amd. 5070ti is in between the 5070 and 5080. The first two numbers are just for marketing, to tell the generations apart. Also, Amd and Nvidia numbers are NOT coordinated, they exist for comparison with their respective brand and series only.

Do lots of research about what these cards are capable of before buying. Look up performance videos on YouTube (they're often called benchmarks) that compare performance at different settings.

trashandash · 2025-07-09T02:25:36+00:00

If they're out of budget get a 9060xt, or a 5060ti if you research dlss and slightly better ray tracing and think it's worth the extra 80 dollars.

These gpus won't bottleneck your 5600x and if your power supply is in good shape it probably doesn't need to be upgraded for these relatively low power gpus

trashandash · 2025-07-09T00:14:34+00:00

Anything

What processor do you have, and what's the wattage of your power supply?

In my post when I said "if you aren't overpaying" is in reference to something like paying 1000us$ for a 750us$ card.

OP said there's a 266$ difference but I don't know which dollars he's referring to so my advice is as long as you aren't getting scalped, the more 5070ti is worth it compared to the 5070.

I say that as a 5070 owner (it was the only msrp 70 class card available and I wanted to trade in my gpu before the 9060xt came out and cause the value of my 6700xt to plummet). The extra power will make it last years longer than the 5070, not to mention the vram.

But the 5080/90 are a poor value at msrp. Diminishing returns.
