I had a graphics card mishap (it's overheating and seems fucked and I can't pull it apart to check it out due to fucking loctite on the tiny screws), so I've had to downclock it and turn everything down to med/high until the new card gets here on Monday. It still looks pretty great, so those of you with lower tier hardware might still consider giving this one a shot. Right now, for stability, my card is maxing out at 1375mhz with a Ryzen 3600X processor and 16gb of slow DDR4, and it's still hitting 30-35fps on med-high 1080p, which is fine for a flight sim. The graphics aren't something you'd rub one out over or whatever, but they're still pretty damn good. E: I do have Google Fiber which gives a good connection speed and can make a difference, so bear that in mind too. 1375mhz (with 8gb of vram) puts it in the old RX 570 range for clock speed, I think, just for comparison purposes. There are, of course, some other things about it that are better, but we're not exactly talking about peak Vega 64 performance here. E2: By "overheating" I mean I have to keep it below about 62-63 degrees in the Radeon software or it blackscreens and needs a reboot. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/898055-black-screen-gpu-fans-at-full-speed-crash-fixed/ Basically any stress on it and it starts risking a crash. I also set it to 1000mV to keep that low too, but these seem to respond favorably to that anyway, and adjusted the fans to start ramping up at 50 and to all out by 60.

I honestly don't know. I've heard it both ways: it's artificial and that it's just that some of them are so popular that they can't keep up. Regardless, they're doing something right.

Works for the value continuing to go up though.

Except Rolexes don't randomly fall apart. Fucking JKs. E: Yeah, I'm bitter. So what? Should have bought a couple of Rolexes instead of those two turd Jeeps and just walked everywhere.

This is real easy

Is that Handjob Mountain on the left or right? I was thinking left, but wasn't sure, so

Dude taking off from Lukla needs more flaps.

I was buzzing around San Antonio after I took that DKR pic, and they've got stuff like high school fields (flew over Central Catholic and Alamo Stadium) and small colleges (Incarnate Word) modeled. There are also business signs that are readable on some buildings, like Alamo Cycleplex on 410 and a nearby Whataburger. It's the 3D photogrammetry stuff. In places where that doesn't exist, they still have at least some of the field markings, but the stadiums are flat, like the AI didn't know what to do with them.

Ah.

Went out to the range today and finally put some through the "new" (I got it just before the lockdowns and such started) G43x. I think I like my Sig better, but it's fine. The Sig is full size though, so it's probably just a matter of getting comfortable, and 25 rounds just isn't enough. The range was only allowing 50 rounds of 9mm per customer, so the wife and I only had 100 between us. Scorpion still works, 22 is still fun to blaze away with. Masks + ear pro + eye pro = fucking shitty hot

For those of you who like the Total War games, Troy has released and is free on the Epic Games Store for 24 hours.

Well yeah. The criminals are currently downtown looting shit. He didn't say anything about them living there, or whatever..

Check first to verify (I got the Steam version), but I believe if you get it from the Microsoft store, it has the play anywhere thing. You can get your flying fix in even on a potato-ish PC, then fire up the Xbox version when it's available. The PC spec requirements aren't particularly crazy: https://www.flightsimwebshop.com/en/blogs/content/system-specs-flight-simulator-2020-published/ The differences between low and ultra aren't too bad, with the settings being independently adjustable (so bump up the clouds so they don't totally suck and compromise somewhere else): Also, Austin:

lol

Preordered today. Long two weeks coming up.

For some 'Rona lockdown style entertainment, go to the table/article of large non-nuke explosions on Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_artificial_non-nuclear_explosions#Rank_order_of_largest_conventional_explosions/detonations_by_magnitude) and F5 it to watch the neckbeards fight over whether it should be on there or not.

You weren't wrong. Hiroshima is a pretty small nuke by todays standards as well. This one would just be considered tiny, and probably not worth it to use because it's still a nuke, but it's in the range. This isn't like the dipshits at USA Today talking about the MOAB with a 20 ton yield like we nuked Afghanistan with it. E: Not worth it for a nation, I should say. The big thing about that W54, which is what was in the Davy Crockett mentioned above, is that it's small. While this was a warehouse full of shit going off, that thing weighed like 50lbs and could be backpacked around by some poor fucker engineer for demo, or attached to a launcher like a fat RPG.

Quickdraw Wiki types are saying 1.3kT at the moment for the big explosion. W54 size.

If they're not, they need to swing by the nearest still-standing convenience store and pick up some lotto tickets.

Maybe so. I don't know who that DannyNis dude is, just posted it for the video.

Get the fuck out of the way.

Apparently the feds aren't going anywhere.

It's not really about the future of the Chinese economy at that point.
