You mean how some of the new AMD boards are damn near $500 a pop or more? Yeah it's insane. Not to mention you gotta get DDR5 which is still very expensive lol.

I mean, the first time I balked at motherboard pricing was looking at Intel boards a while back. But I'm disappointed that the latest round of AMD boards have seemingly ALL gone expensive.
Most have features I don't want, but the features I DO want are often only available with stuff I don't

Not that I'm interested in anything new just now anyway. I like to keep track of things though just in case I have a hardware failure...

I'm pretty content with my B550i & Ryzen 5600x set up, so I shouldn't need to upgrade that for a bit. But I do want to pick up one of the new AMD RX cards!

God of War tomorrow…. Pumped. Also found out that Hozier was involved with the original soundtrack. If you are unfamiliar with him, dude is extremely talented, with an amazing voice.

2 hours into God of War: Ragnarok.

As the 2018 one, beautiful. Im playing on a PS4 pro, enabled HDR, on a 4K monitor, and high quality settings. It doesn't feel like I'm using a PS4.

The game picks up where you left off, and if you recently did a quick refresher from the 2018 one, the fighting on the new one doesn't get too confusing and you're able to dispatch enemies easily.

The armor and weapons menu changed a bit, so did the level up system. Each enemy kill or use of special ability adds XP, and levels up certain skills.

So far I'm loving it, except for the first few minutes, once you pay it you'll understand, nothing against the game, is just a story event.

I should've worked from home today.

Not too impressed with GoW so far. Doesn't mean it's bad, its just.. same as before.

I'm on an ancient AB350 motherboard and it handled a 5600X upgrade very well. The Ryzen 5600X is very good. I've actually been doing workstation (compiling, production) stuff with it and can't believe how I ever got by on the original Ryzen 1600. Games run at a nice 100+ fps now.

One thing that took me back was the Ryzen 5600X shipped with an OEM "Stealth" Cooler that was half the size of my original Ryzen 1600 heatsink. Turns out the 5600X is quite thermal efficient.

I like World of Warcraft 3. I think there are very few people who don't like
this game. Most likely it does not like those who do not know how to play online games. And how do you feel about this game? And what do you think about buying game coins? I found a site and I am waiting for your feedback.

MyHybridBurnsGasAndTires · 11-23-2022, 04:42 PM

lol you registered to post about a game from 2004

radroach · 11-23-2022, 06:18 PM

its a bot, a glitchy one too, world of warcraft 3 lol

I freaking hate WOW and think its a boring game. Also runescape is just a game about clicking stuff and wearing your mouse-contacts down.

I have no idea who Lex Fridman is and I've not seen any of his videos prior to this one. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this.

He teaches at MIT and studies AI. I love his podcast, one of my favorites.

Pre-loading The Callisto Protocol. I am looking forward to playing this despite it looking like a re-skinned Dead Space.

70 minutes in.
There is an occasional slide show but for the most part runs well. I haven't touched video settings.

The graphics/art work are very good but so far there is absolutely nothing that hasn't been seen before. It is, so far, very much a corridor shooter minus the shooting. It has been all melee so far.
It is early minutes but I can't get rid of this feeling of disappointment.

I shall continue.

Edit: I now have a gun
