Damn, I figured the other two would do well (Darktide and Warzone 2), but I have never even heard of nobody, i must be living under a rock.
 
A question regarding Greenmangaming's XP reward system. Do you get higher discount the higher level you have?
For example Hitman 3 cost 21 euro without any XP level. With Bronze it cost 17,22 euro. Is the game cheaper with Silver and Gold?

I believe they got rid of tiers. Different tiers used to get different discounts, but now that doesn't happen.

I am at Gold level, and the price I see for Hitman 3 is the same you mentioned for the Bronze level, 17,22€.

I dedicated a full two hours of my life watching this video. Thank you for sharing. That was quite a ride.

It was such a gripping tale of lies and deception that I couldn't look away, but the attribution to Yoko Shimomura's illustrious career (amongst other uncredited composers in the early days of gaming industry) in the final minutes of the video was my favourite.

There's a comment below the video which states that his “Ferrari” shown in his “MTV Cribs” video wasn't even a real Ferrari :flare_lmao: :flare_lmao: :flare_lmao: :flare_lmao:

Musk did an ultimatum to the employees, work "hardcore" (in other words, crunch) on his twitter 2.0 project, or get fired.
Most staff refused and is quitting, including critical staff.
Musk decided to close the offices until monday and the world cup starts sunday, what could possibly go wrong?

Stuff is likely gonna break, and there's no one to fix it, basically.

Does the progress you make in Darktide carry over to the full release?
Click to expand...

Short answer is maybe from their news post at the bottom.

store.steampowered.com

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Pre-Order Beta: What to expect? - Steam News

We are finally closing in on the start of the pre-order beta period and the lead-up to the final launch of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
store.steampowered.com store.steampowered.com

I would lean towards them carrying over progress unless there is a bug, glitch, or exploit tied to progression.

I guess for future reference if you see a cheap gpu again, you should switch to a 5600 instead of the 5600X unless you're paying nearly the exact same price. A quick glance on pcpartpicker, the ~€30 savings is probably more important than the meager clock advantage. Don't go any lower than the 5600 though, everything else is trash.

You have some popular options for a potentially cheaper case that performs as well as that be quiet! one. Lian Li Lancool 215 and Corsair 4000D Airflow are around €108. Fractal Design Pop Air is also around that €105-108 range. Unless there's a specific feature you want on it, there are some minor savings if you're pinching pennies.

I'd say probably the same way you release anything without cloud save support - for one of 2 reasons:
  • Absolutely no one giving enough of a shit about your release that they would spend (literally, not figuratively) 5 minutes enabling cloud saves.
  • Your internal processes as a company being so fucked up that the only people who would care even a little are not allowed to do it.
(At least this is true for Steam. It might / might not be more difficult on other platforms)

Valve really needs to allow user-defined cloud saves for games when the devs are bankrupt or morons.

The case is the worst. I'm picky on the design (the Pure Base isn't great) and I target coolness above all else. But a lot of cases have really few ssd slots and I plan to go full ssd some time in the near-ish future. And when I finally decide on a case, it's a fucking third party seller on amazon, and I'm not really into them.

The 5600x is yeah, 10-20 euros more.

Let me try to recap
My PC - 2600x / Wraith Prism / B450 Tomahawk / 16go Corsair Vengeance / 2060 Super in a godawful NZXT H500.
I avg 44c idle and the sky is the limit in load. Last 3DMark I did was avg 66c but I'm pretty sure I did near 100c on Control for example. Which was not pleasant.

And I'm not made of money, at all. But with this fucking pandemic shortage and rising pricing, I had to wait for a refresh and I fear that if I wait some more it won't be a couple hundreds but a couple thousands I will take in the face.

I'm not even sure this is the right move. After all, outside of rare exceptions like CP2077 my PC handles 1440p/60 pretty well. Wait at the risk of having an horrible purchase later ? Refresh some parts but which one ? Wait for AM5 or Intel to be more reasonable ?

And while they're at it, give us direct control over what's in the cloud. Let us delete files manually and some kind of version control so you can easily revert to older saves would be great too.. The current way to wipe a cloud save is so convoluted. I've done it plenty of times and I can never remember exactly how to do it or get it right on the first try.

No, plain and simple.

By the look of things and how everything is updating, this process will take months.

Surprised that system is hitting 100C in Control, I heard the H500 is bad but is it really that bad even with a stock fan?

You could possibly justify the CPU upgrade with AM4 on its way out, it's priced to clear. Looks like you'll get Uncharted Legacy Collection included with a Ryzen 5000 series purchase and then you can flip the 2600X on the used market to claw back a bit more. Any new platform will be a huge upfront cost comparatively. If you're content with around a 3070 tier GPU, you will be fine for sometime.

On the cases, the Lancool 215 allows for three 2.5" SSDs and the Pop Air gets you four out of the box, couldn't tell on the 4000D if you had to buy additional brackets or not to mount on top on the PSU shroud. Don't know if that's sufficient for you.

For the GPU, it's a difficult choice considering how screwy the market has been and how low my confidence is for Nvidia and AMD to deliver reasonably priced mid-tier cards. If you have the budget to spare and have a list of games that could use the extra horse power immediately, maybe buying isn't too bad of an idea? Otherwise, if you're happy as is and the extra power will get wasted while you're playing a bunch of smaller budget indie games, there's no real rush.

Then drop the game?

Im actually considering it, but I payed quite a lot for it, which I regret now. So I will just keep pushing on.

The main issue right now is that the game is not particularly interesting. I know people have written the start is slow, but still...

Honestly don't think Twitter is going anywhere. It's too big and no one wants to make a competent competitor to the same scale.

Most advertisers have quit and musk has unbanned people that were banned for hatespeech previously, making more and more advertisers wary.
He is running a 1 billion deficit on DEBT PAYMENT alone, Twitter blue is a drop in the bucket and after the initial trolling is over, no one will trust any blue checkmark anyway, which will drop Twitter blue subscriptions.

Too big to fail is nonsense when there is no one willing to pay for the cost of running Twitter.

Other than the looming possibility of tech issues, seems like the EU is gonna get involved soon, seems like they're already gonna call the space karen (Musk) to the EU parliament?
