Just testing the waters on here, is anybody interested in a 3080 Ti? I have a Asus Tuf and just pulled a Asus LC OC on the newegg shuffle. So I would like to sell the Tuf. What would a fair price be?

Every now and then when I want to reminisce I fire up Far Cry and set up a LAN game on my computer. I have a script that someone wrote that allows 8 different maps to be populated with bots.The bots aren't very smart but they're very accurate.
I remember the strategies but I can no longer apply them to good effect.
I used to very good at FFA but now I'm shit.
*sigh*

If you're posting here, I would say whatever you paid for it on the shuffle.

It sounds likey they are selling the other card used.

If it's to someone who intends to play games with it, then MSRP minus 10% per year you had it seems reasonable in today's market.

If it's to a crypto mining asshat then msrp + 30% should sell pretty quick.

I agree, but to kind of make up your loses while still keeping it fair, he could sell it for whatever he paid for it, but a discount is also okay in my eyes.

If he's trying to capitalize against a scalper, a markup would be warranted. I personally would sell it at a discount to another fellow gamer, just because I know how fckd the whole situation is for anyone who is trying to upgrade.


Going along with that last statement, Best Buy had a release last week where the only way to get a GPU was to sign up for their premium service which is $200 a year. But what it seemed a measure against scalpers, ended up being something that greatly benefited them as they could buy more than one type of GPU, resulting in scalpers being able to buy $20,000 worth of GPUs in one single transaction.

Used means you lose warranty, entirely or at least in part. So as much as it hurts there is loss in value. Theoretically also got some value out of it by using.
I gave up on the used market (selling) but my hardware was a bit older too...

112 hours of Dying Light 2


The button configuration is a bit of a mess. When the game was first released there was no support for mouse side buttons. Techland has released a few patches one of which has gone some way to making things better but I've still had to edit a .scr file to get things acceptable. I suspect that making the game for consoles has had an effect on button config but at least the buttons aren't getting in my way so much now.

The game is standard open world: get quest, do quest get rewards. That is fun although a couple of skill puzzles have frustrated me at times because timing has to be just right.

There is a lot of real verticality, not just token like in CP. Falling to my death is not uncommon and I think, I'm not sure, I get a touch of vertigo at times which I've never experience before in a game or real life. How impressive is that?

THE standout feature of this game is the world. I thought CP77 was pretty, this is another level. There is so much detail everywhere sometimes I just have to stop and look. Cathedrals look like decrepit cathedrals, the streets are littered with debris.

So much so I am fantasising about another PC not just a new graphics card. I say that but realistically it wouldn't be until the end of the year. Or later. The game is freakin' stunning to look at even on low graphical preset.

I've finished the main quest and now I'm just ticking of all the landmarks which are placed on the map.

Not a great game but a beautiful one in a run down, decaying sort of way.

The first Bioshock game had me in a state of awe. The first time introduction with the decent in to Rapture was magical. One of my favourite games.
So it is with a little trepidation a bring you this:

A BioShock movie is on the way from Netflix


Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed the Netflix series of The Witcher.

This is pretty good to, referring to why an earlier version was abandoned:

"Apparently, he wanted the story about junkies harvesting children by means of vicious murder to be R-rated. The nerve of that guy."

Weird what I remember sometimes.

Update.
Ah good ol' false memory. I went looking a pic of the game that we used to have. It's G-4. I've always remembered it as B-4. G-4 doesn't sound nearly as impressive.

Yeah, I noticed that too.
According to the box it's still America's all time favorite game.

I'm not sure about your point that the game name is Battleship given that it's on the box.

Fck them Valkyries. Especially the Valk queen in GoW. I explored, grind,and did all the side quests in the game to get the best materials, armor, enhancements, and that thing still managed to wipe the floor with me.
