Yeah, there are only few titles for which CPU is a bottleneck (Cyberpunk being one of them). I wish Ryzen would resurrect m4 3d chips, but I am good as it is. A friend of mine convinced me to double down on my irresponsible spendings and swap my 27inch 1440p IPS for 32inch 4k QD-OLED. Visual gains vary from game to game - games with a lot of dark and contrast benefit the most from OLEDs true darks. One thing which surprised me is how little performance gap there is between 2k and 4k thanks to DLSS - In 1440p anything below quality preset would be noticeable and even quality sometimes showed some ugly bits. With 4k though, I can easily use balanced and have a better image quality then I did in 1440p, and on performance it seems to be more or less on par with quality in 1440p. I was a bit disappointed with the performance I was getting with my 5070 Ti when I turn raytracing on in Cyberpunk and Alan Wake2. I mean it is mostly playable now, but still seems like mostly novelty feature for high end GPUs. To compare I resubscribed for a month to GamePass to try the mandatory Raytracing games: Indiana Jones and new Doom. Both look stunning and run like butter. Unless I turn on Pathtracing - Pathtracing cuts my framerate by 2/3rds. Eh, I will see with time if it was a wise investments or if the RAM panic will blow over and I have overspend for an unpgrade I didn’t need just yet. The screen is nice though. Probably will enhance my experience more overall than the GPU.

Hi, single class Shifter isn't super appealing imo because the PL 8 and 9 abilities for Spiritshift aren't that great. In my experience the Shifter is more enjoyable when multiclassed. Here there a a lot of options which all work well and are fun to play, usually it's a combo of Shifter+martial class because of the spellcasting restriction when shifted: Shifter/Goldpact Knight - great AR with zero recovery penalty because of Paladin passives + Gilded Enmity (which is kind of free if you combine with Sworn Rival) + natural armor (especially Bear form). Eternal Flames stacks with Wildstrike lashes, Ring of Focused Flames gives extra +10 acc, Sacred Immolation + Nature's Terror is fantastic late game AoE dmg while in melee. Also nice with Steel Garotte but needs afflictions on enemies then to unlock life drain. So cast some affliction stuff before going in (Relentless Storm or Tanglefoot etc.). Shifter/Helwalker - higher speed and shocking lash from Lightning Strikes, burning lash from Turning Wheel, both stack with Wildstrike, +10 INT prolongs Spiritshift, +15 MIG (Helwalker's passive + Thunderous Blows) boost dmg and self-heal (pets, inter-shift), +10 INT/+15 MIG are fantastic for the Boar form because the shifter variant of the board form has a Wounding DoT lash that has the base duration of the spiritshift, not the usual one. Also great for any spellcasting between/before shifts (Relentless Storm or Plague of Insects and especially Moonwell - or whatever). Stunning Surge is a great attack ability and so are Efficient Anguish or Torment's Reach. Shifter/Trickster or Streetfighter - simple synergies due to high dmg bonuses from Sneak Attack etc. combined with Wildstrike lashes, no e Full Attack strikes sich as Crippling Strike and so on and nice mobility bc. of Escape. Streetfighter has a lot of potential with dmg (but has to be flanked AND blooded to unlock fully, pick human race to profit even more), Trickster with defense. Shifter/Furyshaper or Berserker - fast attack speed, some melee dmg bonuses (Blooded, One Stands Alone), added engagement via Barbaric Shout, added DoT with Blood Frenzy or terrify with Spirit Tornado, AR bonus (Thick Skinned), nice finisher Full Attack (Barbaric Smash), awesome mobility with Wild Sprint and especially when Leap becomes available. Berserker has higher dmg potential but also self dmg (use human race and Blooded to profit) and Furyshaper has nasty CC (Fear Ward). Shifter/Stalker - very high accuracy, added defense and AR, Boar form unlocks Predator's Sense of the Animal Companion automatically, nice Full Attack abilities (Wounding Shot but also the Hunter's Claw stuff) and of course an additional body on the battlefield which you can use to always flank enemies and thus apply -10 deflection and -1 AR to them (as well as Stalker's Link). During or before shifts you can use the awesome single target dmg combo Takedown Combo (+100% dmg for the next attack) + Sunlance. Shifter/Bloodmage - despite the spell casting restriction this works nicely in the early and mid game where you cast lots of the fast self-buffs with the Wizard, then shift and do melee. Late in the game it's extremely good because you can combine Wall of Draining (prolongs Spiritshift and all buffs and benefical effects, including healing over time and stuff like damaging aura spells - so you don't have to pause shift ever) with Zandethu's Draconic Fury (use Blood Sacrifice to get back the highest tier spell uses) and Citzal's Martial Power at last (cannot cast while shifted anyway). For lulz you can also use the Transmuter subclass and trade a bit of power for an additional shift form: into an Ogre. :)

American Civil Liberties UnionOne Year In: Defending the Constitution Under a Second Tr...The ACLU reflects on hard-won lessons and what the organization is preparing for next.the first year o' trump 2.0 was a busy one for the aclu and similar groups o' legal advocates. HA! Good Fun!

Also there have been a bunch of cases by now where ICE stole from those people. They really just do whatever they want.

Please do something about the travel sooner than summer.

Appreciate the buggies but they are still not fast enough. Takes half day of daylight to go from hot dog stand to garden.

Agreeed return them to bigger size. Very hard to see.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-speculators-set-stage-gold-120029836.html @Gorth you will find this interesting A good and interesting summary of the recent rise of gold and silver prices and then the crash on Friday In summary Chinese and other speculators pushed the price up over the last few months by buying. They decided after the Warsh announcement as Fed Chair to start selling because the dollar got a boost and these commodities are traded in dollars Mass selling started for profit and the price of gold and silver has crashed https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/gold

It's just a small little post but imagine we get like an entire dungeon set up to explore for their whole Minotaurs ans Myrmidions! Like a full dungeon set up normal sized for people but for us would be an awesome dungeon to explore!

Will black widows be added back?

I'm wondering where the ACLU is with all these ongoing 4th amendment violations by the administration? ICE is claiming they can issue their own warrants without a need for the court. What a joke. They are invading the homes of American citizens then arresting and detaining them. Talk about unreasonable search and seizure. This is completely abrogating their oath of office.

Hidden/Unlisted Controls (Buggy/Omni-Tool): Many items have unique, hardcoded, or "hidden" keybinds that are not listed in the standard options menu. For example, creatures like the Ant-Buggy have their own controls that overlap with player functions, so remapping jump to a key might not prevent that key from triggering an "auto-gather" on the buggy Default Binding Overlap: If you set a button to a new action, the game sometimes fails to fully unbind it from its default function, leading to one button doing two things Input "Sticky" Bug: Due to UI bugs, the game may not properly track which UI box is selected, causing a press to trigger a default or previously assigned action. This is particularly common when using ALT-TAB to switch windows, where the game fails to "release" a key FIX ALL THIS STUPID S**T this is HIGHLY ANNOYING!!!!!!! Makes me just drop the game in the dumpster for now.

Why do I have to hold the button to make the Omni-tool axe and hammer hit more than 1 time now?! I changed 1 freak'n button in configuration and it took away the tap to activate function where I just had to press the button 1 time and LET GO for the Omni-tool to swing 3-4 times with 1 button press but now its making my character swing 1 time with each button press I do. 20 minutes ago it would swing and chop until the grass or rock was cut down or broken into pieces. WHAT THE F*** DEVELOPERS? I JUST WANT TO TAP THE BUTTON AND IT DOES THE THING. THATS IT. I DONT WANT TO HOLD THE STUPID BUTTON FOR 3 F***ing SECONDS TO MAKE THE CHARACTER CHOP DOWN THE GRASS OR BREAK THE ROCK!!!!

Hi guys, I am new to the game and looking for help with build for Druid - Shifter. Any help with how to build, either SC or MC would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am encountering the same issue. Talking to Archivist Stallworth and reporting the gathered information grants you the reward, followed with additional flavor dialog, including options to get more money or reputation points. After ending the dialog, the quest is still in the list of incomplete side quests. Talking to her again prompts you to once again report the gathered information as if nothing happened, with the third report ending the conversation.

Just curious, are the game setting options available, such as time of day rate, stamina burn rate, etc., available for Xbox?

Chunks are way to small

Well, what is the actual distance in 1x1x1 / 1m blocks from a storage to a crafting table right now? And to be quite honest, I second that request, because I got an 11x11 base with the crafting table in the middle and seem to already have problems with chests in the corners. Or the crushers / spindles getting resources automatically. I don't know how this would impact performance, especially on servers tho. Maybe a 20x20x20 or so would be good for the game, but bad for the performance? Nah, cannot be too hard, even Minecraft does that with mods easily and without draining the server of its juice.

Finished Shadow of the Erdtree. Radhan was such a bitch that I decided to cheese him in the end. I don't feel bad about it, this phase two is worse than Orphan of Kos in Bloodborne. That one at least felt fair. Game is still beautiful, also really damn long. Probably the longest Souls game there is so far. The DLC map was a bit of a mixed bag. While looking great everywhere, it had some areas that felt incredibly rich in detail and then there were some areas that have been nothing but looks. Barely any consumables even. Not sure if they were running out of time for those areas, or if they exist to add more "depth" to the world. A bit like in a heroes journey, you know, where you don't just fight and loot all the time, you also travel and have slow downs. It's ok, I guess. Just noticed that those places showed up quite often in mid- and late-game. Thinking of going into NG+ but not sure yet... I kinda want to... but it for sure will take a couple years then to unlock everything again.

Really man, you said, and I quote since you didn't- for obvious reasons: No asking to prove a negative there; show your homework. Or is that just for other people again? I do remember the wonderful Senate Report you linked though, and selectively quoted. That is the context- in part, since it was pattern forming- for not believing you about Blix plus your persistent inability to provide a video you insisted was real and easy to find (yet you didn't) until after I said I wouldn't watch it anyway. Due to it being irrelevant to what I actually said instead of what you imagined I said. You never answered how Rumsfeld's definitive statement about knowing where the wmd were wasn't a lie, by the way. We both know you won't this time either. Wasn't anything about WMD though, was it: "Still, at least this time you've managed to find a transcript, unless (sic) your mythical Hans Blix video, and it's actually relevant". It was about you refusing to provide a source, and demanding I find it- highly relevant to now, given your initial complaints yet you clearly being able to identify the articles I used. Pattern, since the first time I brought up Blix it wasn't directly about WMD either, much as you've tried gaslighting that it was. Ironic, and classic Gromnir. Who wanted help doing their homework? As always, the whole thing was based on a straw man argument where you argued persistently about what you wish I'd said, rather than what I did. yeah, Gromnir presented as an option, which is why your question made no sense after we fully explained not only why we didn't personal choose the ignore option in spite o' identifying it were the choice o' wisdom You presented it as an option you'd consider, hence the use of the first person. You then said you'd never actually do it- not a surprise to anyone, I'm sure. So, why list it as an option in the first person? At this point I'll just answer for you: grandstanding. Classic Gromnir. To whit: As I said, if you design a search not to find something you won't. Classic Gromnir. And the best way to do that is to get as much general stuff in there as possible. Hope you didn't waste too much time. As previous, non specific searches has been a favourite tactic of the sophist since altavista became a thing. So, I crossreferenced the general search with a specific one for Pahlavi. Advanced stuff, I know, but I do like a bit of intellectual vigour when refuting what is, really, the rhetorical equivalent of vomiting on the screen in the hope the other person will give up. Now, you will no doubt burble about that not being 'fair' because it doesn't replicate the original search I did and wasn't limited to the first few lines; sure. Neither does yours though. If you criticise me for it, you are, once again, trying to enforce rules on others you won't follow yourself. I was not reciprocating your methodology; that would be stupid since it's solely designed to 'prove' your point by filling search results with irrelevant stuff. I could do a similar search with some other prominent Iranian opposition figures that have repeatedly featured in the news as a comparison... but despite paying a fair bit of attention, I can't remember any? Only Pahlavi. You?

I think I figured out why the game is crashing and running a little rough at times, remember Grounded 1 in early access when the red ants kept pilling up and causing the game to crash, I believe the same thing is happening in different form. As in the alot of the dead bugs ran over by a buggy or killed by other creatures are not despawning if not picked up.Another issue is the croquet mallet reset itself in the orignal position. I had an issue building the stuffed earwigs if you moved one around it changed the appearance to the other type.And an issue for a while has been weapon mounts for daggers is still bugged to where they are floating or backwards.Cornhog bites not appearing only billyhog.And tiny lint has already been addressed so Im sure that will be fixed soon. Thanks again appreciate you all of your hard work.

Finished the Silver Spike. So far the weakest book for me. Although I liked the epilogue very much.

Folks the game is still in early access it is nowhere near full release please be patient and allow the devs to address the issue, i know its frustrating at times but like I said you gotta understand the early access part because that is what it is for to address bugs and get then fixed before the actual realease of the game, I also am not getting raids in my game!

Don't think anyone believes that Russian losses are light, just that their losses aren't as high as Ukraine claims, and Ukraine's aren't as low as they claim. Certainly not me, the mediazona numbers are pretty bad, their equivalent is just worse comparatively for Ukraine. Same of course holds true for Russian casualty claims, in reverse.. The 1.2 million claim is certainly recursive, ie: Ukraine claims it, media and agencies repeat it, when people question Ukraine's numbers people then reply that it's confirmed by media, think tanks and agencies.
