  1. The penis meatier than the sword.
  2. The tone is lighter and less serious, and there's no active threat to Grogu looming over every episode like the past 2 seasons. The Book of Boba Fett fully transitioned these D+ shows to a live-action Clone Wars successor - have fun, expand lore, do cool shit, and fan service.
  3. You can get a lot more for your money with the Cyberpower build. I'm pretty cheap so that's what I would personally go with. Functionally speaking, there's nothing wrong with the basic Digital Storm parts and should be performance-equivalent to the Corsair stuff, just won't have as many pretty lights. Oh I don't know if you noticed but the Digital Storm defaults to Linux and only 250GB SSD.
  4. The case has better ventilation than the Cyberpower Kira. Cases that have the fans in the front with a glass panel are really bad for thermals. I would definitely avoid any case with a glass front panel that doesn't have ventilation on the sides (like the Lian Li 011 dynamic) to make up for it.
  5. The 3D CCD runs at a lower clockspeed, comparable to the 7800X3D, than the other CCD in the 7950. The most likely reason that simulated wins a lot is because disabling a CCD lowers the power and allows the 3D CCD to clock higher before hitting the temperature throttle, as well as negating any latency penalties if a game thread was bouncing between CCDs.
  6. Wow, so much information! Well, my guess is the game will take place after the events of one of the endings. The overworld will mostly be the same, but they'll put a skin on the dungeons and remix the enemies/items with a brand new story and quests.
  7. For every obvious cheater in an FPS lobby, I don't doubt there's way more cheaters who try to act legit - in every single game.
  8. Never watched Columbo, was it full of eccentric comedy like the other shows?
  9. With the 7900X3D you're only going to get 6 cores with 3D cache. I predict it will do fine in most games, but a few games might actually take advantage of 8 3D cores and you'll be missing out on performance. Scheduler seems to be mostly a hit, but there are misses. Looks like you can set your CCD preference in the BIOS, though, if you ever run into an issue with per-game detection. The 7800X3D is the simple gaming CPU. Don't have to worry about scheduling issues, uses less power and should be easier to cool.
  10. I definitely prefer dedicated RGB controllers. When using any effect besides basic static colors, motherboard software control raises CPU usage be 2-3%. I doubt this Windows update will be any better; it's just the nature of not having dedicating hardware processing for the RGB. Asus software does indeed suck, and loves to break half the time when I was using it.
  11. And they just came out with a 27" 1440p 240Hz. I'd really love to see burn in tests on this thing, as well as any (longtime) quirks. 27'' UltraGear™ OLED Gaming Monitor (27GR95QE-B) | LG USA WWW.LG.COM Prepare for Victory with the 240Hz Refresh Rate & 0.3ms Response Time of the New 27'' UltraGear™ OLED Gaming Monitor (27GR95QE-B).

  12. That Microcenter combo is the best bang for the buck especially if you also want to focus on longevity. The absolute best bang for the buck are "older" parts right now, like the Ryzen 5000 CPUs as those are cheap and fast enough to maximize the performance out of your 3080, plus the RAM and motherboards are cheaper too. But you'll be buying into a DDR4 platform while DDR5 is the current standard. I'd certainly recommend spending a bit more to cover yourself with a future GPU upgrade. Pretty much no matter the CPU you'll also need a new cooler too. So if you can't do the Microcenter bundle, something like this would be a good starting point: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K 3.5 GHz 14-Core Processor ($319.83 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING DASHFLOW 240 BASIC 82.5 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($69.98 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 UD AC ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($194.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory ($149.94 @ Newegg) Total: $734.74 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2023-02-18 11:38 EST-0500 The 13700 is also a pretty good value for only $100 more than the 13600. The upcoming AMD 7800X3D will mostly likely be faster, but it's also going to cost more at $450, and will have fewer cores if you do any type of productivity work.
  13. What if they made a huge multiplayer map out of the ring planet and throughout the match the ring gets smaller! *has not played a Halo game since the original.
  14. I don't see much of a difference with how Loki and Ronin's temperaments were displayed in those movies. The "real" Thanos wouldn't have trusted either of their selfish motivations with those tasks, especially when those stones were presented as fairly easily attainable by his own crew. And this is the point. The continuity stuff was mostly tacked onto the movies, and at worst made movies unfocused (Iron Man 2). But it did give us Winter Soldier, Civil War, Ragnarok, and IW/EG, so I still enjoy it even with the contradictions. But it's definitely something I don't need to see the DC emulate especially if they are going to start from scratch.
