    If they manage to make Sharon Apple instead of Skynet...

    I'm still glad I bought my 3060 when I did---things have only gotten worse overall with newer stuff/prices, and the 3060 is only SLIGHTLY cheaper now than when I bought mine, despite it being older now. That said, I am tempted by the 4060 Ti 16GB...
  3. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I'm thinking half of that, budget-wise. Anything $200 or more is better spent on a GPU at this point. Paying a premium for "the very best an old mobo can handle" is a bit of a waste.

    None of the CPU's seem like they'd be THAT big an improvement, so I'm currently leaning towards the 5600X, or MAYBE the 5700X "as cheap as can be reliably had from aliexpress"

    I don't recall the -23 being so rivet-y around the intakes...

    Thinking about upgrading CPU while I'm at it. Would very much like to keep my DDR4 RAM if at all possible. So just new mobo+CPU. Currently have a Ryzen 5 3600. Or is DDR4 old enough that it limits mobo options too much? DDR5 had/has a very slow adoption rate. Looking for just a cheap upgrade, not "a giant leap in ability". Might even do CPU-only. Checking around, it seems the last BIOS update for my mobo will allow the Ryzen 5600 series, but not officially the 5700/5800----but reddit says the 5800 actually works fine.

    Used 3090's still go for $$$ because of their 24GB VRAM.

    Ended up getting a 990 Evo Plus for my new OS drive. 2TB, because the price wasn't much more than 1TB. And I can finally use my cool anodized M2 heatsink I bought like a year ago... Clonezilla worked great (and fast), and then Diskpart easily reallocated the partitions. But as the old OS drive was the oldest one I had, it was cloned as MBR, and that's not gonna work for Win11 in the future. So used the nifty "MBR2GPT" program that Windows itself apparently has now. And so far everything's working, better/easier than I thought it would. Still have some of the more "finicky" Python/Conda stuff to check out.

    Yeah, but by that logic, Prime shouldn't be a Freightliner, and Sideswipe shouldn't be a Countach. Just "close enough". But people do tend to often want "the real car/truck" for most toy Autobots--yet give "not the real plane" a pass for the Aerialbots and Seekers...

    I just imagine some big guy using Excessive Force™ right before he puts it in the box...

    Isn't that just Parzival's version?
  12. David Hingtgen
    Jetfire, and Shockwave? Those are about the 2 most unlikely ones, after gun Megatron...

    Do the flux bands glow, or just the headlights? (I'm pretty sure the box is even more BS-y than usual, I doubt we have LED's in the wheels for a flame effect, so I can't trust the box to even really be "semi-accurately hinting" at what parts actually do illuminate)

    Saw it yesterday, did "dinner and a movie" (where they serve you at your seat)----I liked it. I think the B/B- rating is about right. Is it great? No, but nothing's as good as Captain America: Winter Soldier. And it's 10x better than true junk like Eternals or Quantumania or The Marvels. People are acting like this is bottom-tier MCU, and it's not at all. It's a solid movie IMHO. Just not, 'amazing'.

    Yeah, it's pretty clear the VF-19 mold wasn't designed with the sound booster in mind at all. They are 2 completely separate ideas, with "a completely made-up ginormous bracket that doesn't conform to either half" smooshing the two in tight formation. (I won't even say they're connected, they're just "quite close, and moving in sync")
