On that note:

The whole reason I can even play again.

Spoiler

Yas, I know its stock cooled.

Yas I know stock coolers make people want to claw their eyes out.

To save cash for now I went the non OC rout for the CPU with the option to blow cash later with

• Unlocked CPU
  
• Closed loop & Radiator
  
• Moar RAM (even though 16gb is fine{so far})
  
• SSD (if I decide HDD is just too slow{so far its not})

​

Also: Phank You Phanteks, your cases are Phreaking Phantektastic!

It's amazing how much an SSD can contribute to a game. Particularly if it's an RPG like Fallout or Skyrim that does a lot of area loading.

I've got 2 SSDs in my rig. A 256GB boot drive, and a 512GB games drive. I've got a standard 2 TB hard drive for my bulk storage. It's SO nice to clickety click on a shortcut on my desktop, and BLIP, the program opens most rickey tick.

Ive also got the ob board option of M.2 SSD for crazy fast data or Optane once its available to make my HDDs basically act like hybrid drives.

Also I dont know if Virlutris noticed or not but saw me get obliterated last night. I peeked a hill and the whole team focused me for a three second one volley kill.

I think I saw the kill notification go by, yeah

Sorry I missed the shout out, I had a little tunnel vision in that match

No worries, I was quite vodka powered by that point. heheh Im still knocking the rust off too. My relatively smooth frame rate and reticle being highly responsive is taking a lot more getting used too than I expected.

Yeahhhhhhhh. Don't do that.

[Virlutris]

It's really only fun for the shooters, yeah.

I remember peeking saddle on Crimson once in a Warhawk, getting focused down by the whole red team in an equivalent amount of time.

I can chuckle at it now, but I still can't really say it was funny from my end.

[Windscape]

I have nothing to say

[MarineTech]

Why not?

[Windscape]

I have no idea

[XphR]

Don't you?

[Virlutris]

I certainly don't.

Would you?

[XphR]

With almost great certainty.

[Virlutris]

Almost.

This thread was almost certainly great again.

*Gnaws on Virlutriss' ankle*

I smell Bacon!

[Virlutris]

If you'll stop gnawing on my ankle, I'll share some of this sausage and bacon pizza I just picked up from Domino' s. I've got pepperoni too, if you're interested.

Domino's Pizza™: Avoiding the Noid™ for over 1100 years and counting!

I hear they're doing aerospace hot-drops now to deliver in combat zones too

MmMmM sausage, bacon, mushroom and onion is how I used to start my shift when I worked in pizza. Funny story, I had to stop eating at Dominoes. The pizzas are supposed to finish cooking in the bag on the way to the combat zone but, my combat zone is too close to the front line Dominoes (so we would have to always have a hot oven ready to finish cooking it). Like they are three blocks away (and still managed to not find my house three times).

I do however miss the Noid, I wish they would bring him back into advertising.

So much win in this pic.

Don't blame them too much for not finding your house though. If you're that close to the action, the amount of electronic warfare shenanigans in play is probably as tough for them as it is for the combatants. Uninteded consequences confirmed?
