Why is there a random watermark on an xkcd? The original is here, for anyone who wants the alt text: https://xkcd.com/2943/

Do you know what resolution that is? I can see that for 4k, maybe 1440p, but if that's happening for 1080p games have gotten a lot worse than I realized.

I ran a 1070ti for quite a while (8GB), and recently upgraded to a 6700xt (12GB?). Running 1080p 144hz, I pretty much only use that extra vram when I run local LLMs or Stable Diffusion.

More is better, but having 8GB for the "entry level" cards is fine IMO. Better than the 3/4 of the entry in the 1000 series nvidia cards.

I don't know, maybe it's just me having not followed AAA games graphical requirements super closely, but I feel like 8GB at $300 is a killer 1080p card these days?

Thanks for doing this! I’d like Bridge Constructor Portal if it’s still available.

No, that's Brita.

Better is the name of a commonly kept freshwater fish that's very territorial against other members of its species.

This type of all or nothing rhetoric is bs. It's ok to be nostalgic for a time that was better in some ways while rejecting the ways that it wasn't. The fact is, the rise of the internet has made life a lot more complicated and brought new problems even as some have been solved.

I for one enjoyed the movie a lot. Had fun with it.

 

Got back into the game recently (600 hrs, MR 16) after a year or two away. Been loving it! Taking it slow, working my way through the quests I've missed, grinding a bit of Operation: Belly of the Beast, and leveling some weapons I've got in my backlog.

It's been a blast! I don't have any fancy builds with lots of forma or archon shards or rivens, but I can hang with pretty much anything non-SP (which I guess I have to unlock again now that there are new nodes.)

One thing I'm a bit worried about is that there's too much for me to do it all. So many new modes and mechanics. Trying to focus on what I feel is the "base game" (starchart and open worlds + Railjack) and branch out into the other stuff (Duviri, 1999, Zariman, etc) in a bit, one at a time, so I can get a good feel for them.

Anyway, saw this community was pretty dead, but didn't want to post on Reddit, so here we are. :)

Being already established, you have a few advantages over the newbies. You know about how a few different instances federate and work, and you know whether or not you like your instance.

Recommend your instance. Or if you wouldn't, whether because it's niche or doesn't work well in general, recommend a generic instance, even if it is .world, because it will probably work and give a good experience.

On a semi-related note, anyone found a good MC Lemmy community?
