    Ehh I disagree, I played consistently ow1 for years and ow2 just wasn’t as good.

    I mainly missed tank synergies. Without it the game just wasn’t the same. The other tank changes were just insane too. And I preferred the full 6v6 experience.

    Then they had to go an monetize the shit out of it, when I already paid for the game! The last straw was either paying for new characters or grinding like hell.





  • Imo your best bet is to see if you can find someone else’s used gaming computer.

    Roughly ~400$ gets you pretty far for hardware 3-5 years old

    The energy efficiency will be much worse, so depending on how much you use it you may want to account for that and get slightly newer.

    In my personal experience look start in amd’s Am4 platform, as it’s quite upgradable up to a 5800x3d.

    But to start something like a 2700x or 3700x are solid cpus.

    Equivalent Intel cpus are an option too.

    As for gpus look for 1000s series nvidia 1070-1080 and onwards. Less than might be too weak.

    Similar for amd. Vega 56/64, 5700xt etc.

    Huh the 1080ti came out 7 years ago, so I was a bit off.





  • They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.

    Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.

    AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.









  • I’m a bit surprised at a lot of the criticisms for the movies here, and I say this as a huge fan of the Dune novels too.

    Villeneuve has a particular film style like blade runner 2049, and Arrival.

    If you don’t like his style you won’t like the 2nd movie.

    But on the other hand part 1 sets the stage for everything that happens in part 2, and overall I think it is an excellent adaption. Dune is not an easy book to adapt to film, and some changes had to be made, but they’re aren’t any glaring changes that make me go “why the hell did you change it that way?”

    It’s extremely faithful to the book, and in cases where it’s not, I can see the reasoning for the change.
