I have literally never seen this box. I don’t use an app, I just browse to the site in my browser.

Ah, that’s good to know thank you.

I agree completely.

I think what seals it for me is that mods and admins can see how you vote, but the mod log just says “mod”.

The Lawrence of Arabia 4K remux is so fucking crispy.

You should really quiet down, how else are you going to hear anything?

Tmux is 100% what OP needs to be using.

Yeah bro you don’t get to say absolutely wrong things as fact, defend them as fact, then say “hurr durr my username is no /s i was being super duper sarcastic the whole time”. I mean you can say it, but everyone sees right through you.

Haha. “My initial comment was facetious”, the go to weasel phrase for someone that knows they’re wrong.

Go look up the official brand guidelines for the finals then think very hard about what kind of game it is. You don’t have to tell me, but I know you’re going to respond with an attempt at a snarky or “witty” reply anyway because you can’t help yourself.

You’re putting words in my mouth I never said. I also said goodbye, because this conversation is going nowhere. You just can’t accept the fact that you could possibly be wrong can you?

No one dies. It’s a virtual tournament. It’s literally paintball in the future. It’s not a battle royale. You’re insane if you think it’s a battle royale. Battle royale is a defined subgenre of fps at this point, and this carries none of the battle royale characteristics. You couldn’t come up with a single facet of this game that resembles a battle royale game, so you fell back to drawing comparisons with a Korean movie that still aren’t accurate.

Cool I’m glad you like the game. I like it too. I’ve been playing since CB1. It’s not a BR and shares nothing in common with BRs.

I’m not “defending it like it’s my lover” (which sounds incel af btw). Im not arguing with you about semantics. I’m clearly stating that you’re totally wrong about genres. So wildly incorrect that I’m convinced you’re trolling. I want to get into more of what you said about hero shooters, but further communication with you is probably going drive me to literal insanity. Good bye.

You’ve got to be joking me. It’s closer to an arena shooter than a battle royale. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s basically a hyper speed Hunger Games with heroes

Ok first there’s no fucking heroes. There are classes with specializations, but classes are the exact opposite of heroes. I guess Battlefield 3 is a hero shooter now bc they have classes? Second, if you think that this game has anything in common with hunger games you’re not just batshit, but then you also must think that literally every shooter is like hunger games.

The point is, it is about as far from a single player experience as you are going to get.

Oh holy shit stop the fucking presses. An online multiplayer fps is not a single player game? No way. My mind is absolutely blown this whole time I thought my friends in my party were npc’s and I was playing a single player game.

it has a lot of the genre’s elements in there.

There’s really no point in continuing this conversation, but please tell me what battle royale elements does the finals have? I mean specific game elements, not just saying something vague like “it’s like hunger games”.

Battle Royale? Do you think the finals is a battle royale? Do you know what a battle royale even is? Because the finals is pretty obviously not a battle royale bro jfc.

I have a 6 bay, so yeah that might be a little limiting. I have all my personal stuff backed up to an encrypted cloud mount, the bulk of my storage space is pirated media I could download again, and I have the Synology using SHR so I just plug in a bigger drive, expand the array, then plug in another bigger drive and repeat. Because of duplication sectors you might not benefit as much from that method with just 4 bays. Or if you have enough stuff you can’t feasible push to up to the cloud to give piece of mind during rebuilding I guess.

Depending on how many bays your Synology is, you might be best off getting a nuc or a mini pc for compute and using your synology just for storage.

Gingerbread?

As a general rule, don’t wait for the next thing in tech, you’ll wind up waiting forever. If you’re happy with your PCs current performance now, just wait. If you’re getting a bit unsatisfied with its performance, upgrade, but buy the best thing your budget will allow at the time and run it into the ground. Not being able to build your own PC (or presumably upgrade individual parts on an already purchased/built PC) makes running into the ground a little less viable though.

If you’re mostly only gaming on your PC Ryzen 7 is great, just make sure to get an X3D processor. The 7800x3d is phenomenal, and the 9800x3d is even better if it’s in your budget. A 5070ti would pair well with either of those. Again if budget allows a 5080 is going to perform better, but idk what $/perf is on those cards off the top of my head.

but with more AI frame gen slop

I just want to add something here. I’m also a huge RT fan, especially in Single Player games. At bare minimum you should be using DLSS (FSR on AMD), it does a much better job at antialiasing than TAA does, it doesn’t have the blurry image shit going on etc. I use it in pretty much every game I can in combination with DSR.

Second, the frame gen stuff is honestly pretty goated. If you want to play at 1440p or higher, at ultra type settings, with RT, you’re really doing yourself a disservice if you’re not using it. I wouldn’t personally use them in a competitive fps, but I’ll turn it on in any single player game I have the option for. This isn’t generative AI and your gpu has the tensor cores just sitting there. You paid for those cores, not using them is just wasting your money. To each their own I guess though.

On a similar note, if you have an Nvidia card, you use a mic to talk to people, and you’re not using Nvidia Broadcast you’re fucking up. You can set up your mic to go through it, cleaning up any background noise way better than Krisp or whatever. You can also set discord or in-game voice chat to go into the Broadcast virtual speakers, and it will filter everyone else’s voice like magic. You’ll never hear someone’s keyboard, their dogs, their kids, their shitty music, their coughing, or really anything but their voice again. I get not liking AI slop, but that doesn’t mean that AI is useless.

You and me both brother.

You can’t help yourself can you?

Hahaha.

It means I’ve hit a nerve and said something so contrary that it actually rattles you.

Funny thing is, you haven’t actually told me how or why I’m wrong—just that I’m cringe.

You have a really inflated sense of your impact on me buddy. I’m not here to tell you you’re right or wrong, I have no opinion on this whole inane debate at all. I play video games for fun, and if other people are having fun playing video games I’m happy for them, I don’t give a single solitary fuck whether they do it on a pc, console, phone, tablet, or by uploading Doom to a cock ring with lcd display and play it by popping their dick with kegels.

I’m just here to tell you that you’re giving off major “meth head arguing with a brick wall in the alley behind 7-11” energy.
