I mean I guess since you necrod the thread, I'll post one of my videos. I broke my wrist pretty badly in a mountain bike crash last summer, so I picked up drones so that I could get out with my friends still. That's really good. I enjoyed it. How hard is it to control a drone well enough to trail s...

Funkmasterr

Yeah I'm definitely fine with my 4090, likely for another 2-3 years. At this point, I've still been able to play any game I've tried at max settings at 90+ FPS, but often 120 (I cap at this due to my TV). I also do a little video editing for Drone/Mountain bike videos on my YouTube channel and using...

I don't know why it's ridiculous. I want to buy and play all of my games on Steam. I am not interested in them wanting to force the account linking to harvest data, I don't need their security/anti cheat (since this is a common explanation for why these third party launchers are needed). I also don'...

Nightreign doesn't look good, it looks kinda like a cash grab to me, and Roguelike/Roguelites aren't my thing.. It doesn't help that I'm down on the FromSoft situation - if Sony buys them and starts making their games take forever to get to PC I'm just going to stop buying their games, and that bums...

That's pretty crazy with the 5090 a couple of months out. I started getting a blue screen on boot up the last couple of days, did some troubleshooting and it hasn't happened in a few boot cycles, but we'll see. If it crops up again I'll have to solicit help from someone that knows how to read dump ...

I figure as long as it doesn't die an irreparable death, I'll hang onto my 4090 for another 3-5 years. That was the only way I could justify spending so much on it, especially when the 5xxx cards aren't going to be that different, practically speaking.

Funkmasterr

It's cool to keep seeing old names pop in and say hi occasionally. I also picked FF 14 back up recently and while I can find the time to stumble through the normal mode raids at least, but they require almost no time investment compared to what EQ took to even just run dungeons. I don't think I coul...

Funkmasterr

Yeah fuck GamePass. I canceled my Playstation Plus sub when the price increased last year - it helped that I have a PC and have barely turned my PS5 on in the last 6 months, but I likely would have anyhow. Them removing the subscription cards that you could buy from other retailers at a discount so ...

Funkmasterr

Yeah, I don't get how people still don't get that major corporate mergers are literally never good for the consumer. I totally agree though - Xbox is kind of a joke at this point. I canceled my Game Pass sub on the PC, didn't seem worth it to me.

Funkmasterr

Is it not available on Showtime's streaming platform or something? I like that show and have thought about going back to watch it as well. For whatever reason, I semi-frequently think about Charlie's "Who pissed in my pants" line and quote it.

Funkmasterr

They shouldn't have caved! The requirement was there from day one. The issue was that due to massive popularity, which the servers couldn't handle, the devs (Arrowhead), and not Sony, turned that requirement off. So people who bought it, then played after the initial refund period, would not be abl...

Seeing reports about 13/14 gen Intel processors having some issues. So you might want to look into that if you haven't already! I saw something about the I9 processors having issues due to the various motherboard settings that dramatically over-stress them. I had already shut that stuff off for min...

Funkmasterr

Yeah, there has to be a better way to design a release for this. At least one that doesn't involve me taking half the shit off of my MB to install a drive :D Thanks for the reassurance. Everything still seems fine so I'm sure it's good. On the plus side, I now have 2 4TB NVME drives, so space should...

Funkmasterr

I'm somewhat concerned I might have mildly fucked my motherboard today. Bought a second NVME and installed it, which requires removing my GPU. I pushed down the release for the card and it seemed to release a bit aggressively (I used a screw driver because it's the only way I can do it without pulli...

Funkmasterr

Interesting. I still think it's only a matter of time before they get out of the console business, but time will tell.

Funkmasterr

After seeing how the whole situation played out with that show, the writing, etc. I didn't watch season 3 or the spinoff they did - no thanks.

Funkmasterr

I know, it's wild. That anyone could still feel any kind of loyalty to a corporation, with all the info you could ever need at your fingertips to show you why you shouldn't. Or you could just look around you. I don't think there's any reality in which Microsoft makes another Xbox console, and I thin...

Funkmasterr

I have a 4TB WD Black 850X nvme drive currently. I'll keep an eye on prices and when it gets at or below what I paid for this one again, I'll likely buy a second.

Funkmasterr

lol! Nice, yeah I can't imagine you'll be disappointed. I got lucky and got mine for 1699, cheapest I saw it for sale anywhere else at the time was pushing 2500. I've been able to play everything at completely maxed settings, and man do some of these games look great. I haven't seen my GPU get above...

Funkmasterr

Got my video card a few days back, Microcenter got ONE Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 in, which is the exact card I wanted. I almost murdered it, but all is well. Everything is going smoothly now, aside from Gears of War 5 in the Xbox app (game crashes after playing for a bit) - I think it's safe to say th...

Funkmasterr

Yep! I ended up going with the i7 14700K (Raptor Lake) - definitely happy I did for exactly this reason. I have things mostly set up and ready to go, just waiting on the GPU!

Funkmasterr

Well, I have a computer. I still don't have a GPU - but it sounds like Microcenter is getting them in weekly so I should be able to nab one soon as I'm luckily only like 1/2 mile from Microcenter. The parts I ended up with differed from the builds I posted above but are in the same ballpark. It defi...

I have a 13 Pro Max. I've got no big complaints about it, but I would like USB C. I might upgrade next year, but these days 3-5 years is about when I'd upgrade a phone.

Funkmasterr

Still waiting for my bonus to pay out so I haven't bought everything yet. I may end up getting a 4090, even at scalper prices. From what I've been able to read, they won't be shipping anymore until spring and I'm not interested in waiting that long.

Funkmasterr

Thanks for the advice. I didn’t consider the integrated graphics for troubleshooting, but that makes sense. I am edging towards getting a 4090. Again, I want to be able to play at 4K ultra/full ray tracing, etc for as long as possible. I also don’t intend to upgrade much for 3-5 years if possible. h...

Funkmasterr

Have shifted the build to use DDR5 instead, but the real problem I'm having is deciding what GPU to buy. I really want to be able to play at 4k with reasonable fps, but there's no reality in which I'm paying for a 4090.

Funkmasterr

Maybe. I’ve finally hit a point where I want to get into video editing (Davinci, maybe Premier Pro), and I’d like to be able to do some gaming at high settings. I’ll be using my TV as a monitor. I’ve not built a computer, but I have replaced every part (aside from processor) so it’s not foreign to m...

Funkmasterr

Holy shit, you're a maniac! I only did one completionist play-through, but I plan to get back to it again at some point.

Funkmasterr

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. RIP

Funkmasterr

It should be blocked. Corporate mergers like this are without exception bad for the consumer. Anyone that says otherwise is a complete fucking moron.

Without googling, please list off all of the trans athletes who are currently dominating their respective sports. I’ll wait. Not that your Kid Dynamite hypothetical makes any sense, but most professional sports are okay with their athletes beating women, so long as they don’t kneel during the natio...

Funkmasterr

Well deserved, I'd say. I'm still playing through God Of War, and it's great, but it's no Elden Ring.

Liberals aren’t burning down buildings. They hold up signs, sign petitions and vote. They rarely do anything radical that could actually make a difference. You apparently missed the BLM and Antifa summer of mostly peaceful protest. I once thought as you did and I had a hard time admitting to myself...

"Freedom of speech" doesn't apply to privately owned companies that have their set of rules for the platforms they run. Don't want to get banned? Then don't violate their terms of use. Don't agree with the terms? Then don't use the platform. How is that complicated? Having said that I'd b...

You know, the thing that underpins most of this shit that really gets me is how a disproportionately small percentage of people's beliefs are represented due to all the systems in place that Kilmoll and Jice laud above.

Yo! A-fuckin-men to that, though.

I might check that out - I liked the first one. Borderlands games aren't really my thing anymore - I just can't get into open world checklist type games, but a more story driven thing like this is always cool.

Funkmasterr

Nice! Yeah you start to get a ton of runes towards the end - I had to get creative about spending them so they didn't all go to waste, I am not leveling above 150 because I want to stick around the "meta".

Funkmasterr

Yep, you found it! That place is rough, there are a lot of roaming mini bosses/tough enemies in the snowy area, then the legacy dungeon too. I didn't try using that mausoleum due to how much of a pain it was. I just skirted around it to get to a nearby dungeon.

Funkmasterr

I bought it a while back when it was on sale for like $20. I played for an hour or two and was enjoying it, but I decided I'm going to wait a bit to see what new content they put out.

Funkmasterr

Grats! Yeah I had to look up how to get to the area Malenia is in, it's not easy to bump into. That area (and boss) are the toughest in the game, IMO - just so to help set your expectations properly.

Funkmasterr

Nice, congrats! That's a tough one. I've helped people with that fight and Malenia the most as they seem to give people the most trouble. When I fought Malaketh, I stunlocked him so bad he didn't even go into his second phase :lol: Yeah there are definitely still balance issues with PVP. First of al...

Funkmasterr

Nice! Yeah I finished my first playthrough and got the platinum a week or so back. I messed around with helping people with a few of the more difficult boss fights, and did my fair share of invading. I will likely go back before long here and start ng+ as well. I felt that a few of the fights toward...

Skyrim is maybe the most over rated game of all time. Elden Ring though is awesome - I haven't been this hooked on a game in probably 20 years!

I really don't get why Bethesda's games are as popular as they are, honestly. Skyrim was mid at best, and certainly nothing I liked enough to go back to any of the 156 thousand times they re-released it on a TV/Ham Radio/fridge/whatever. Their games are generally buggy fucking messes, their combat i...

This isn't good for consumers, objectively. Not everyone wants to game on their phone/ipad, and a lot of people don't have the money for a second console or a pc (myself included). So this further limits what games people have access to, which isn't a good thing unless you're just being a fanboy. I ...

Yeah, after several frustrating attempts to purchase one elsewhere including one time I got one purchased at Target and then got an email 3 hours later saying they actually didn't have one for me, I signed up for this. The way they do the invite/queue system is something that should be used a lot mo...

Funkmasterr

Yeah it's not that I don't see the difference/don't think 4k is worth the investment - I just don't have money for a new TV. It's definitely on my list of things to do when I can, but for now I'm happy with the increase in visuals with the PS5 even without a proper 4K TV.
