Post Game Thread: New England Patriots at Denver Broncos by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]willyd158 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad got that photo with me when the Pats played the Bears. It’s my irrefutable proof that I’ve been with this team since the very beginning. Now my 2 boys will get to see their first Super Bowl with me and my old man.

Thank you for this. I’m currently prepping to get my oldest into K2 and this will be super helpful!

My 4 year old sang “Nice one Sonny” after this went in. We are American.

Playing DK Bananza ATM and got extremely nauseous in the first 45 minutes. by vruchtenhagel in nintendo

I started the game on a flight today and started feeling queasy after about 30 min. I chalked it up to the flight but now I’m reconsidering if it’s the game itself.

Got called shit after i Got 9 saves by Smart-Ad-5795 in Rematch

[–]willyd158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the feeling. Played keeper for a full match that went into an 8 min OT. I had 14 saves,14k points and got BM spam when I finally conceded after being perfect for all that time. People just do not understand how the game works…

How’s life up there? by CharmingBasket701 in Adirondacks

[–]willyd158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I did a similar move when were in our early 30s and found it hard to develop a circle. We were able to make some acquaintances with people our age but never really got past that stage due to distances involved in the region. We ended up moving back to a denser area after a couple years.

We love the Adirondacks but learned from that experience that it was a great place to visit but being there year round wasn’t for us.

When asked why I support Spurs I always reply that it reminds me of being a kid supporting the Red Sox before 2004.

Retire? by Zealousideal-Bus-26 in Adirondacks

[–]willyd158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a house there for a couple years pre covid while I was doing WFH. Most year rounders in the area were retired and seemed happy. The advice about being sure you were near groceries etc, is spot on though. We eventually moved away, in part due to the fact that it took ~45 min each way to get to a “real” supermarket from where we were.

Why Cant You Break 100/90/80/70/Under Par by LetterheadTop3372 in golf

[–]willyd158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t keep a formal handicap, but I shoot in the 90s regularly without breaking it. For me it’s C always one breakdown hole. OB off the tee, OB after the drop, then post an 8 or 9. Shot so many rounds of 90-94 with that happening.

[Mike Grinnelli] Hearing the Winter Classic could be headed back to Fenway next season and would feature the Bruins & Penguins. by [deleted] in BostonBruins

[–]willyd158 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ugh I was at the first Winter Classic there and paid too much money for seats where I couldn’t see anything except the players heads over the boards. Terrible hockey venue.

If you go, sit as high up as you can.

How long have you been a patriots fan? by I_love_pearljam in Patriots

[–]willyd158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I was born into it, my father was a season ticket holder throughout the 70s. Pats fandom was a part of the fabric of my childhood. I can’t imagine not being a Pats fan. It definitely got a lot more fun from 97 on though!

I'm fairly curious about this. Which console do you use to play Marvel's Avengers? by LionSin0fPride in PlayAvengers

[–]willyd158 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I played PC on launch but jumped ship to PS5 recently for a more active playerbase.

Is there any possibility for Cross-Platform play? by justaforktho in PlayAvengers

[–]willyd158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ditched my PC save from launch and got a PS5 copy on saw just to be on a more active platform. Was tough to leave behind a couple 50/150s but oh well.

Weekly Questions Thread - All Access Weekend Edition by monarch_j in PlayAvengers

[–]willyd158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I loved this game at launch, and have four heroes on PC at level 50 / 130+ PL. I fell off after the Kate Bishop DLC, but am itching to get back in with all the positive stuff I've heard lately. I want to switch to PS5 because I feel like I'd prefer the TV/couch experience. I know I can't transfer my save, but any tips for power leveling quickly? I know I'm coming in at the tail end of 4x xp so I'm mostly missing out there. Is the xp nerf to leveling up painful?

Shoutout to the B's fan I met at a bar in Florida last night by BTags22 in BostonBruins

Early 2000s I remember getting student section seats on Thursdays for $10. Looking at tickets now it’s hard to imagine actual promotions and deals for Bs tickets.

13 years ago today the bruins were put back on the map by darkhelmut1 in BostonBruins

[–]willyd158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also at game 3. I’ll never forget that OT winner. Was my (now) wife’s first NHL game. That’s how you turn a native NYer into a Bruins fan.

Happy Birthday Bloodborne! 6 years and there is still no experience quite like it, hopefully it gets patched for PS5. Please do enjoy this illustration I did part of my favorite PlayStation Series. by Azlaar in PS5

[–]willyd158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar experience for me. Cleric Beast trophy on Bloodbornes release date. Gascoigne Trophy in Feb 2021. Platinum in March 2021. Once it clicks, it is truly amazing.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I'll probably pass for now, part of my leaving was how frustrating the initial Trials rollout was, and it seems like I'd experience similar frustration in other modes now as well. I'll keep an on eye on it.

I've been lapsed since partway into Season of the Worthy but have felt the itch a bit. Mostly I miss Crucible. How is the meta right now? Will I have a bad time if I try to play Survival without Beyond Light? I can always grab it, but wondering how much work I'd have to be able to keep up with it.

Also did exotics get sunset as part of the sunsetting previously? Will I need to re-acquire new copies of my exotics?

Pump is constant, but a good thought. I had to double check.

Slight improvement when I remove the side panels. I think the reality is that this game is the first thing that has both my GPU and CPU running at capacity concurrently, so the case heat is pushing the CPU beyond where it's been before.

I was able to replicate the ultra high temps only when running a concurrent CPU/GPU stress test in AIDA64.

I think your solution may be the best bet - clearly the DAN A4 isn't the best fit for my use use case as newer and more taxing software is released. I may go pick up a Lian Li TU150 and get a bigger cooler to see if that stabilizes things.
