- Comment on Solder-It-Yourself DDR5: Russian modders pitch the Idea of making their own RAM 1 day ago:
Just buy two old 8GB ddr3 sticks and solder them together to make a 16GB ddr6 stick? Cheaper and one better than ddr5.

Santa’s magical and in a mood. He actually cursing people. Turn em into a fucking newt, or cause your descendants to all be short.

Yeah, I had the ram, but the 6600xt was the most I could buy without having to also upgrade my PSU.

Likewise. I haven’t bought a game that wasn’t at least a year old in a decade. Heck, right now I’m playing Psychonauts.

Something wrong?

Paid under $200 for it and it punches well above the 1060 I’ve been using. Wanted a Radeon because they play nicer with Linux and this card is the beefiest AMD I could go without having to also buy a new PSU. Also couldn’t go much nicer anyhow or I’d be creeping up on games cpu limited, so it pairs nicely with the r 5 5600x. So for me and my particular set up it made for a nicely balanced hardware and cost choice. After this it will just be time for all new hardware in a few more years.

That’s alright. USB rails for a PCI slot are dirt cheap.

- Comment on AMD's legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memory 5 days ago:
Jokes on them I just ordered a used r 5 5600x for a $140 upgrade. My shits old as dirt. I was on a 1600x and a 1060 GPU.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 5 days ago:
I went from thinking about a full rig upgrade, to just buying the best used processor and GPU my am4 board could handle with my current PSU and ddr4 ram.
Went from a ryzen 1600x and a Nvidia 1060 to a ryzen 5 5600x and a Radeon rx 6600 xt. I’ll be able to ride that out for a few years no problem.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
I mean, ai is definitely costing people their jobs, trashing the environment, increasing electricity costs, causing stupid high silicone costs, and will be used to create misinformation and push narratives like nothing else before it. But there’s also pretty much zero chance of stopping any of it. The ultra wealthy control the world. It’s a tool to make them money and gain control of information and agendas.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
It was placeholder art that needed to be there. It shaved off work hours. If it didn’t, then why would they have used it in the first place?
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
It means AI was used to replace work hours from humans. That’s kind of the whole point of anti AI.
Also, to go a bit extreme on an extrapolation of this: ai makes game and all assets. Humans then replace everything with non AI things that look pretty much the same and then say it isn’t an AI game.

Epic still does good giveaways sometimes, and usually awesome ones over Xmas. Hogwarts was free up to yesterday, and a game called Hordes of Hell is free till tomorrow morning when the next mystery free game is revealed.

It’s an add on a barcode sticker that’s already going to be there. There’s adds that are annoying or intrusive, and then there’s adds that are like this, and no one cares about.

- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t really enjoyed pokemon for quite some time now. It started off as a fun casual rps style game with a simple and entertaining story to follow. Then they kept adding more complexity to it and it just kinda fell off for me.
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 2 weeks ago:
It means other people impeached cannot be pardoned, and that he cannot pardon himself.
Lots of people can be impeached besides the POTUS; from the VP, down to federal judges and cabinet members. He cannot pardon any of them if they’re impeached.

I quit Nintendo ages ago. As a company, they’re assholes. Then they want to charge $50 for a game that’s 5 years old and 2 generations behind in graphics. Just can’t hold a candle to PC or even the other consoles. The only thing they have left is like 4 game IP’s
- Comment on American exceptionalism 2 weeks ago:
Same for 4 tablespoons of salt in a quart of water. This will make you piss out of your asshole your body wants to get rid of it so fast. 30 mins of stomach gurgles, ten minutes of the most liquid to ever come out of your asshole since last you tried to boof a 6 pack, and then you’re good to go.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 3 weeks ago:
Trickle down effect. The people who want ddr5 are settling on the higher end ddr4.
Two ram sticks are the best way to have the highest performance (2 16GB sticks are better than 4 8GB sticks). No one really wants to build a new PC with just 16GB of ram now, so people are looking for 32GB and 16GB sticks of ram. They also don’t want the slower ram, so they’re looking for 3,400+ mhz speed ram.
So for people wanting a gaming or video editing or ai system, no one wants the 8GB sticks of 2,400mhz ram sticks in your machines.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 3 weeks ago:
The demand has increased in ddr4 because it increased so much for ddr5. While all the data centers and ai bullshit needs the 5, it’s caused everyone wanting ddr4 to still need ddr4, and now people who wanted ddr5 to settle on getting ddr4 on the higher end speeds and capacitties.
DDR4 is currently like double the price is was 6 months ago.
- Comment on YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers 3 weeks ago:
How are other countries on drivers not being on their cell phones or watching their phones\browsing? The US is terrible about it. It’s not legal most places, but it’s also not very enforced. I figured that was a bigger cause than the rise in vehicle size.
- Comment on Porsche Cars in Russia Shut Down After Satellite System Failure 3 weeks ago:
I’ll keep my unkillable Gen 2 Prius. 281,000 miles on the odometer, original engine, replaced the hybrid battery a few years back with a brand new one from Toyota (that I installed myself after convincing a dealership to just sell one to me) and knock on wood, but that’s the last maintenance item I’ve even had to spend any money on.
Too bad quality dropped off after the Gen 2 years.
