Will GTA 6 cost £80? Report says there's industry "hope" Rockstar will usher in another game price rise in c/[email protected]
[–] SolOrion 2 points 9 hours ago

Why not do both? Keep GTA VI Online's price low, and the main campaign at like $80.

It's exactly what they did with Red Dead Redemption 2. RDR2 is $60, Red Dead Online is $20.

iOS only. Sucks.

Endgame is basically non-existent, it’s literally just grinding the same exact bosses infinitely to fill out collection log or get a specific pet. That’s the entire end game.

A lot of people absolutely love collection logging and pet hunting.

It ain't for me either, to be clear, but what exactly do you want out of OSRS end game? I can't really come up with what I'd actually want it to look like.

Yeah. At least OSRS, I'm not as certain about RS3.

Google RSPS- Runescape Private Servers.

I have no idea how much effort it would be, but it's clearly possible.

There is a scene in Saving Private Ryan where a soldier gets shot in the helmet and it bounces off. Now a days soldiers seem to get shot in the helmet and it goes right thru. How come and why? in c/[email protected]

Surviving a headshot isn't particularly likely in any scenario. Helmets are more to stop shrapnel, glancing blows, and- depending on the helmet- maybe pistol rounds. Realistically, a helmet just isn't stopping a direct shot with a rifle round.

I have no idea how it is for your country specifically, but for the US pcpartpicker.com is pretty amazing for price checking stuff. I know it works for a lot of other countries as well.

$869, $899, $979.

That price is from some random reseller that's out of their mind.

7900xtx costs 1.6k$ rn

...where? Is that CAD or AUD? I can't find many on sale, but I just found a 7900 xtx for $999, and the XTX's MSRP is $999.

Can you elaborate on 'Tom Segura isn't a great guy'? I think he's funny and I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing.

How to take CPU out? in c/[email protected]

Tried twisting first. Didn't work lol. It was very stubborn. I'm still using the CPU rn so it ended fine.

I have an AM4 CPU, and legitimately suction lifted the CPU out of the socket entirely on accident. I was changing heatsinks, and the CPU came with the darn thing. I had to pry it off with a knife.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Pricing Leak: More Affordable Than RTX 5070? in c/[email protected]
[–] SolOrion 3 points 1 week ago

Fair enough. I'm not necessarily advocating for people to buy AMD cards, just that realistically the price is pretty irrelevant for a lot of people buying GPUs. They're going to read AMD and bow out.

I'm also very interested in how Intel shapes up, though.

Any tips for a returning player? (self.warframe)

I've been out for quite awhile- I think since shortly after Deimos and the cambion drift got added but honestly I'm not sure exactly when I stopped playing.

Any new guns/frames I should be trying to grab in particular? Any massive shifts in how things are modded? New quests that are worth doing?

I was trying to unlock Steel Path, but I realized I need to do New War first. So now I'm currently trying to get all the various stuff I need to craft a Voidrig.

Tips/thoughts on having a PC be a traitor? (self.dm_academy)
submitted 11 months ago by SolOrion to c/[email protected]

I'm going to be starting a pretty short campaign here soon. I've mostly got the plot figured out, and when I was helping a player with character creation they asked if there was a good patron for their Warlock character. My initial thought was, "well the BBEG would be interesting."

The players are just exploring a ruined castle/island that's been twisted and it's inhabitants warped due to exposure to a great old one- they're trying to solve the problem and make the place habitable again.

The warlock's patron is the BBEG, an eldritch god trying to force his way onto their plane. He's currently held out of the plane by a magical seal that can't be broken by him or any of his servants. So the Warlock player needs to- subtly- get the party all the way to the seal and manipulate them into breaking it. I did this specifically to avoid him murder hoboing his party members. They have different goals, but they still need each other.

If this goes badly, I figure the worst case scenario is that he gets slapped by the other 5 party members. So I've asked him to have at least an idea for a second character.

Is the RU 251 worth getting to grind Germany? (self.warthunder)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by SolOrion to c/[email protected]

I'm looking into buying a premium to grind German ground(and German air but I'm pretty settled on the Ju-288C for that.) And the RU 251 seems like a decent choice.

My german lineup is only up to 5.3- I have the first proper Panther and the first Tiger so it'll be awhile before I have a lineup to back the RU 251 up.

After buying it I'll only have like 300 GE leftover, and pack vehicles aren't an option.

What do you guys think of the economy roadmap? (warthunder.com)
 

Personally I think if everything that's promised actually happens the game will be in a significantly better state.
