“More reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi”

I didn’t know we even had reasons to avoid it

Nope, never used a private tracker before (forgot to add this). The site just seems innacurate.

I don’t use a VPN nor I bother with one, I download movie torrents all the time (5 this week already) and the list is completely empty. I do have dynamic IP but ir usually only changes after I restart my router, which I haven’t done for a month now.

It is made using Nvidia’s RTX Studio, that is why it’s called RTX.
It’s also important to note that RTX is long past being just Nvidia’s implementation of real time ray tracing, it is much bigger now as a suite of enhancements, technologies and tools.

This one really got a laugh out of me

Watch out mate, you’re going to bring out the deniers

Simple and effective, looks pretty good

Pretty much. Their benchmarks seem to be VERY cherry picked to skew things in their favour, specially the testing framework part, where bun compares its speed to one of the slowest testing frameworks out there (jest) and claim victory.

I’m very glad that this guy actually made benchmarks instead of just reading what’s on bun’s site before posting a video about it.

I don’t understand it either.

I’ve only had issues with npm speeds when the projects were stored in a HDD, and that’s not node’s fault.

“A little jarring” is being very generous. For me, Skyrim’s map is one of the worst maps I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Skyrim is a grey game with grey landscape, and the map really emphasizes how grey everything is: grey land with grey icons on top and grey clouds covering most of the landscape (such a great idea). I don’t mind that the map is 3D, but the camera angle limits is what pisses me off, they seem to choose the worst possible angles to showcase the map. There are no road markings whatsoever, and the LOD is so low that you can barely make out any feature on the map (considering you’re lucky to find a patch in the map that isn’t covered by the grey clouds).

I know that Fallout’s maps are bad as well, you can barely see shit in them except for the markers, but at least it’s in theme with the game, so it gets a pass. Starfield’s is in theme and is pretty much like the Fallout maps, but the fact that there’s literally no other features make it terrible as well, but I much rather have a completely blue screen with some markers spread around than trying to navigate Skyrim’s map.

Oblivion’s where it’s at. They should have expanded on what they did there: simple 2D maps that are in theme with the game, clearly depicting main roads and some minor paths and simple depictions of the main cities’ walls.

Ony 3080 with a 5900x I’m constantly getting 60fps at 1080p (unfortunately for now that’s the only screen I have), meanwhile BG3 would dip to low 10s after a few minutes of playing every time

EDIT: I would also like to add that I didn’t use DLSS or FSR in both games, since my hardware is more than capable of running both on maximum quality at 60fps 1080p.

Thanks for the list, pretty much everything there is absolutely irrelevant to me and where I live, mas generally it’s just about Trump.

On a side note, I also get very irritated that the news and world news communities are mainly news about American right wing politicians

That still comes as a surprise to me because Eldritch Blast feels like it hits anything anywhere in the game.

I don’t know how much Larian has changed BG3 from the classical tabletop, but it feels like everything is the same. To be fair, just pick the class and race you most like and play it, ignore all the minmaxing gatekeepers and articles like this, just have your own fun and come to your own conclusions.

How is it for role-playing? I think that was my favorite part with the character I had.

I have about 30 hours and I haven’t even left the first area, but from what I’ve seen, you never go long without a dialogue choice with a skill/race/class check. The charisma and wisdom based checks are constant, so my Warlock is always useful no matter what.

The sheer number of high level enemies and bosses I’ve killed as a Warlock with one hit of my Eldritch Blast charged with Repelling Blast that throws them down a pit begs to differ. There’s no ukulele strumming or bongos banging that’ll top the fun and laughs I have every time I see an enemy relatively close to a big fall.

Other than that, the game is VERY generous with healing items and options all around. There’s so many dialogue options which gave me DC 5 or less to pass, along with many inspiration sources that you’ll barely need Bard’s “essential” skills.

I’ve googled and couldn’t find this anywhere, and this user’s comments are quite in line with what they’ve posted now, so I’d go for stupidity and gatekeeping over copypastaing
