Did not expect bloodstain, Seek skill

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.

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.

All of the decisions characters made with the Infinity Stone in Phase 1/2 were dumb, so at least the scepter retcon was consistent. Why would Thanos task the unstable Ronin in retrieving a stone for him? Why would Asgard give a stone to The Collector? Would Thor really melt a stone into an android?

At least we got Blades will bleed, Shields will shatter The WiiU barely handled BotW, I wonder if the 360 or PS3 could do any better if properly optimized.

Remembered some classic ones: A Link to the Past: Freezing an enemy with the Ice Rod, then discovering I can pick up the frozen enemy, and finally losing my shit when I could throw the enemy as a weapon to kill other enemies. The first time using the Bombos medallion was also pure hype. A weird one concerning my particular Super Mario All-Stars cartridge on SNES: While playing SMB3 I could transform Mario into any form (Raccoon, Fire, Hammer, Leaf, Boot, etc) by pressing the select button on my controller. I realized I could finally beat the game now :p. But for some reason, the glitch didn't work all the time and I have no idea what triggered it. Super Mario Kart: In battle mode, seemingly helpless as my brother comes straight at me with a red shell and I have nothing, learning if you have perfect timing you can normal jump over a red shell, no feather required. edit: Triple whammy - Batman: Arkham trilogy. Obsessively played the Asylum demo on PC over and over again and in awe of how it felt like you were actually Batman, with gadgets and fists. Arkham City felt like an evolving Gotham. Mayhem everywhere, factions competing for power, but I was definitely impressed by the gossip of the foot soldiers and how they evolved their dialogue as Batman progressed the story. In Arkham Knight I was impressed by Hamil's Joker performance. It was subtly different than previous iterations precisely because this was Batman's idea of who the Joker was. And I probably would have been more shocked by the story if I hadn't watched Under the Red Hood prior

Battlefield 2's scale, with my personal highlight being sniping the pilot out of an attack chopper. Darth Revan reveal in KOTOR. The gameplay flexibility of the Jedi Knight 2 and 3 impressed me, and I played them 10 years after they released. I managed to get the Wii online via a 56k dial up connection, and that speed was good enough Finding something in every nook and cranny in Breath of the Wild. Also that the WiiU could even run Breath of the Wild at all, but I finished the game on PC in hi-res fashion. And obviously everyone should have be impressed by...... The super realistic graphics of the first Madden game for every new console generation

People really want them to make more N64 controllers.

It's definitely not cheap. Fittings alone, including spares that I didn't end up using while trying to figure out the best route, were probably close to $200. A couple of radiators, CPU + GPU waterblocks, and pump/reservoir will probably be +$500 (new generation GPU waterblocks are expensive).

Oh, procrastinated on the finished product: It took quite a bit of time, but worth it to not have to worry about temperatures or fan noise. Troubles I encountered: -Accidently knocked off a capacitor on the GPU PCIE express lane while remounting the block, so I had to find and then solder a new one. It did not want to cooperate since it was a tiny 0.2mm one, but finally got it fully working. -GPU + waterblock fittings barely fit. The backside is touching the CPU block, and the fans underneath are supporting the bracket. -Routing the tubes to each radiator was a tight fit. I have a second 360mm rad behind the side fans and the fittings barely clear the fans. -Scratched the plexiglass while screwing things in because of the cramped environment, and also while re-doing the tubing layout to get it just right. I certainly learned a lot if I decide to do it in the future. For example: -Definitely get case + compatible distro block that can support a powerful water pump. Only two work with mine and they aren't as good as a D5. -Stick with silver/chrome fittings. They are much easier to find at a reasonable price compared to colorized ones. -Unifans or whatever comparable daisy-chainable fans are awesome for cable management. Now my setup is complete.

Nice. Is that a standing desk?

I've used eBay, and even when a key didn't work the seller DM'd me a new one that did. But it's been a while and eBay has gotten so many scam accounts I'm not sure I would trust it anymore.

I would not be surprised, especially if you typed out your replies from an Android device.

There's always Dolphin and Cemu.

Memory speds/overclocking will most likely matter more than CPU overclocking for gaming performance.

We can all celebrate surviving the Purge(s).

Nvidia "equal" "open" access Words that do not go together.

AMD has definitely been downplaying the issue, and they aren't being pro-active about it. This should probably be a recall, and they should be contacting the people who might have gotten the bad batch of vapor chambers. @Zaku3 Might be a while before you can get a replacement. Haven't heard anything about these cards dying, so you'll just have to live with reduced performance. Could try to get a refund from AMD and buy an aftermarket card.

240 hz has spoiled me. I can't take sub 60 fps in any game so I'm glad there is a performance option. I'd rather look at a slightly less sharp image than a slideshow. After 5 minutes I think I like the movement and traversal the most. Hopefully that gets expanded as we unlock abilities, and that there will actually be interesting locations to explore.

If you get the best PSU you can afford right now, I'm pretty confident it will last 10 more years. You won't be missing out on too many features because high end power supplies mostly meet the more stringent power delivery requirements that the ATX 3.0 spec requires. And manufacturers should should provide 16-pin cables for older power (modular) power supplies; at the very least I know Corsair has guaranteed to sell new cables for their old PSUs. Your other option wouldn't be terrible, though. You can get a decent $100 (USD) to fulfill your needs right now, and simply get the best one when you upgrade your system later. In this scenario, at least you'll have a spare lying around in case anything happens. You could even take up Vic's offer to get you by. I used a 550w power supply with a 2080 Ti for a few years and only ran into one problem: For some reason Elden Ring caused it to trip the Over-Current Protection and shut down the system when using it with an Intel 10600k. But I used it for years with an AMD 3700x and never had that happen. Your 9700k uses less power than both the 3700x and 10600k so a 600W should be fine.

The problem with the adapters has been figured out, and the same problem can also occur with the new ATX 3.0 cable too. Users weren't fully inserting and latching pins into the video card, although part of the reason why is a poor design that requires a lot of force to do it. A fully inserted adapter or cable won't have issues, so if he doesn't want to wait too long then any current power supply will do fine. There might even be more of a delay as companies tweak the 12VHPWR cable to make it easier to insert and latch. 850W will be more than enough for stock use or minor tweaking. If you want to do major tweaking or overclocking of the CPU and GPU at the same time, 1000W would provide some safety margin. 1200W is not necessary for normal use.

Consider the Alienware AW3423DWF, the Freesync alternative that improves on the Gsync one. The Gsync module doesn't really add any benefit to an OLED display because the pixels offer the same response time regardless of the refresh rate. A Gsync module's main purpose is to fine tune a traditional LCD's pixel response on a dynamic per refresh rate basis to offer the best motion clarity without introducing ghosting artifacts, and it needs to do this because how hard the display pushes the LCD at one specific refresh rate may not actually work very well at a different refresh rate and this can lead to an inconsistent experience when using variable refresh rates.

The 700 series aged like warm milk and wasn't fully dx12 so the 970 is just a better card than 780 ti now. 3070 was a 50% improvement and that is just standard. I'll just never consider it a great deal. It's a normal deal imo. And to answer a previous question I am salty at these corporations

There should be a price creep, I just think it is out of control and the crypto inflation has given these companies the perfect cover to take advantage of us well into this gen. The 3070 wasn't a deal, at least not anymore than any other 70 class card like the 970/1070 before it. 30 series only looks like a good value proposition because the 20 series was a relatively small (raster) performance jump over the 10 series because they added Tensor and RT cores. The 20 series was at least understandable; they were using the die space to add features and die space costs money. When the 30 series comes along, they've don't need to proportion out extra die space for RT and Tensor cores; every part of the die can just be beefed up and thus they can make it look good relative to the 20 series with minimal extra cost per die area. It's a return to normalcy before the 20 series. Well, not a complete return to normalcy, because then Nvidia makes the 3070 Ti $100 more expensive whereas the previous generations' 70 refreshes (2070 super, 1070 Ti) came in at the same price. Now the 4070 Ti comes along and just makes an absurd price jump, and the only added benefit is Frame Generation, which doesn't require nearly as much extra die space as entire cores. Nvidia, and AMD, are upcharging based on existing performance, not based on whatever manufacturing costs were added.
