Any GPU with less than 12GB of VRAM means you’re mostly resigned to playing at 1080p and potentially lower settings and texture quality (depending on the game… newer titles are requiring more and more though).
I agree with everything else in your post, but I think this goes a bit too far. My half decade old 3080 FE 10gb can still very comfortably play damned near anything at 1440p UW. Not that I would necessarily advise someone to buy a 10gb card now that they intended to keep another half decade, but vram requirement inflation hasn’t gone that far yet.

Take the L, mate. Not worth the smoke. Just learn from it and laugh at him next time he gives you a sob story.

I sincerely don’t understand people who don’t pick up after their dogs. In the very rare instance in which I run out of bags mid walk, I feel like a terrible person :lol:

I’m trying to like it but finding it hard to get into the series. 130 pages in the first book.
I recently started the audiobook after reading the entire (as of now published) series, and book 1 is… fine. It’s having to carry a ton of “systems building” weight, which means the “world building” is mostly pushed back. I would say the series really starts finding its footing in book 2 as the world building gets more meta.
With that said, what are you not enjoying? If you don’t love the characters, give it a minute. They are coming around. If you don't enjoy the litRPG conceit, then that obviously isn’t going anywhere.

Do the best international soccer players make starting NFL money or these days even NIL college money.
The higher end English Premier League players make $20MM-$40MM per year. So while our top paid players make more in salary, yes, good players in top flight soccer leagues make much more than “starting NFL money” or “NIL college money” :lol:

Large language models don’t think or believe anything.

Could easily be dealt with by filing leases with the county like a deed or other formal paperwork. “Sir where is your copy of the lease from the county? You don’t have one? You’ve committed fraud and trespassing and are under arrest.”
The more sophisticated squatters have forged leases and then claim they were scammed by someone pretending to be the landlord if it’s proven that the lease isn’t legit.

Baby Tac said to buy a new TV, put the old one in that box and then return the old TV in the new box. Two birds, one stone.
Ok, so I keep seeing the return fraud jokes, but I missed the original thread. What did he say to do? :lol:

Spotty since Sunday evening. Stabilized yesterday and then back out around 2:30 this morning.
Keep an eye on whether it starts to loosely coincide with rain. Fiber either works or it doesn’t; copper coax is highly prone to interference, particularly if the insulated coating has worn down/has been damaged. When it rains enough to saturate the ground, water will start to seep past the coating and make contact with the copper wire. Annoyance ensues. And it’s damned near impossible to reliably diagnose.

I’ve seen junior high keepers make better decisions on the ball. Utterly inexcusable for a keeper at this level.
The stutter hesitation on the clear was utterly inexcusable in that much traffic.

They are playing like shite because they are facing an elite team and they can't meet their level. Simple as that. Stop thinking out players are anywhere near elite.
They are better than we are. But, they aren’t as good as they look, and we aren’t as bad as we look.
fricking brutal.

We still look like shite, but at least we no longer look like cold shite.
It’s less that we don’t take it seriously and more that it’s not our everything. American kids grown up wanting to play baseball, or basketball, or football. We spread our time and attention between all of them.
In much of the world, kids grow up wanting to be footballers, full stop. It’s what every kid in the neighborhood plays for fun. And if you’re an elite athlete, there’s no question what you play.
It’s just different.

The players decided to watch the game with the rest of us, apparently.

Finished Empire of the Vampire trilogy. Loved it. Sex scenes were a bit much sometimes but it every book was great.
Finished the series last night. I have… very mixed feelings :lol:

So your pathetic Bob and Weave is --a murder in a traditionally white area of town doesn't count if it was just poor black kid from the hood right? Never mind if another white, 17 year old girl is cut down in cold blood as an innocent bystander in the shoot out at McDonalds or wherever on or South of Perkins too right?
What the frick are you babbling about? :lol:
quote:
And BTW, Why did you not even acknowledge the shooting at the McDonald's? Attempted murders don't count as a problem in your book cause there's no dead body?
I did address it. It’s not a murder and it’s not in Baton Rouge. But I appreciate that you might struggle with why that might exclude it from consideration in a discussion about murders… in Baton Rouge… :lol:
Again, not looking to derail this thread any further. Make a new thread, bump the old one, or you’ll be talking to yourself on this one going forward :cheers:
