    Tech Gaming Hardware discussion (& Hardware Sales) thread

    Is that most gamers? I haven't played a game in 1080 in like 5 years.

    Tech Gaming Hardware discussion (& Hardware Sales) thread

    These issues are so overplayed because hardly anyone is playing at 1080 with a $1000+ gpu. There are a few games that are CPU heavy but more often than not, if you bump up the resolution, the CPU no longer becomes the slow link with getting bogged up with way too many frames.

    How good was Fedor really? Was he truly elite?

    He had a natural instinct like Jon Jones. He has obvious holes compared to the top now days. I think if he fought today he could see their were holes and tighten them up as iron sharpens iron. He would be at worst top 3 in the HW division. The biggest disappointment I have is that...

    Death Wish is better in every way over Dirty Harry.

    Crypto Megathread v36 - BITCOIN HITS ALL-TIME HIGH — Why didn’t you listen?

    This is the world's most made up scenario with an investment broker. You don't need to just make up nonsense to justify why you think stocks are worse crypto. Broker's are held by law to be fiduciaries. You will find no one in crypto is held to act in the interest of their clients.

    Movies How good an actor is Kiefer Sutherland?

    Average. He had like 10 minutes of screen time in Stand By Me and Lost Boys that people rave about but he was just playing the same role and that was like 30 years ago.

    Breaking Bad: can I skip the scenes w Skylar White, yo?

    Skylar is only unlikable because she is the only rational person in the whole show.

    Crypto Megathread v36 - BITCOIN HITS ALL-TIME HIGH — Why didn’t you listen?

    People are gaming the system by bidding up ordinal blocks. By bidding up select blocks, they cause the transaction algorithms to think that a higher bid is need to complete the transaction in a given period of time. It is fuckery to game the system likely by companies that process transactions.

    Movies Quentin Tarantino's Final Film? The Movie Critic

    Not even close to triple the total cost. Movies often spend like $60 million on advertising. Kevin Smith doesn't even advertise his movies anymore because he figures anyone knows who he is knows when he is putting out a movie and advertising would kill his low budget movies. He did Tusk I...

    Movies Quentin Tarantino's Final Film? The Movie Critic

    Tarantino's movies are never as popular as you think. Hateful 8 only did $156 million at the box office. Kill Bill 1 and 2 both did under $180 million. This idea that he is some type of a blockbuster printing machine isn't really true...

    Movies Quentin Tarantino's Final Film? The Movie Critic

    It is very weird he thinks this about Ryan Reynold's movies when he makes high end schlock. Like, Tartintino doesn't make classical cinema. He makes stuff that 13 year old boys love. He is good at that. Don't get me wrong but he isn't putting out what he thinks he is putting out.

    Movies Quentin Tarantino's Final Film? The Movie Critic

    I have heard him talk about this elsewhere as to how much work it is and how it is a young man's game. He wears himself out because he wants to do the whole enchilada.

    Movies Quentin Tarantino's Final Film? The Movie Critic

    That isn't what he said. It literally takes like two years to put together a script and get the movie started. He is too much of a control freak to either just write scripts or direct and he won't scale down his movies to something more manageable. He could put out low budget indie movies...

    Pho or Ramen

    The Asian food in California is very overrated. I found better Chinese food in much of Houston, which is like the underrated foodie metro of the U.S. Weapons grade racism keeps the food authentic.

    Pho or Ramen

    If you made good pho broth at home, hats off to you. I did it and the punch line for me was "why am I doing this long drawn out process when I cane pay $9 for a big bowl of pho with fresh tasting broth?" It is like one of those things that doesn't make sense to make for yourself. There is an...

    Pho or Ramen

    It is an incredible pain in the ass to make. If you go to a pho place and they didn't bring the pho out immediately, something isn't right. A pho place should have a big pot of fresh broth they made one or two days before. I made it once it I think it had to sit on the stove for like 12 hours.

    Pho or Ramen

    There is a lot more good but nothing special pho's than ramen. Good pho is better than ramen. I always get the feeling that it is way easier to make good ramen than pho. I have never been very blown away by ramen. I don't know why. The broth has never just wowed me even when good.

    Pho or Ramen

    It depends on where you get it. Some pho's have heavy broths but nothing like Vietnamese beef stew.
