Used em for nearly 20 years but their newer stuff has some reduced build quality in favour of aesthetics. The model I bought had particularly bad coil whine (as did it’s RMA replacement) so I shifted from them.
my new gigabyte mobo also has an annoyingly loud constant buzzing sound, extremely slow post and comically buggy bios. a few friends had to rma their gb mobos because DOA, loose ram slots, instability etc… also my gpu is gigabyte 3060ti and it has a lot of problems too, nvidia is mostly to blame but i think it’s gigabytes fault that the fans minimum speed is very loud, around 1200 rpm. the fans are normally off but the temps climb to around 60c even when idle, then fans go WROOOOOOM for a few mins and then turn off. my new case has air intake at the bottom, 2x 140 mm fans blowing right into the gpu but still the damn gpu fans sometimes turn on even when just watching a video. and it’s not because of dust, the heatsink is perfectly clean.
Year 1066 problems just aren’t as relevant in today’s political and social climate. William of Orange totally would have had a sick sword themed gaming PC though
Probably not. They were in use for a much longer time, but population sizes and army sizes were much smaller during those times. Also, they are less deadly.
It’s a motherboard aimed at higher end fps clan play, it’s a relevant object on a relevant object.
So I say again, rpg themed system with a sword on it. Offensive?
Cars and drugs on a GTA themed system. Offensive?
I think you’re just picking something benign to be upset about in the most safe time in human history. Statistically you were more likely to be murdered in 1950 before the gun worship culture was as prevalent then today. Teach, compassion, life skills and critical thinking, fear mongering over inanimates isn’t particularly useful.
Go tell people in third world countries or first Nations that guns have made their life safer than any other time in history and see what they have to say about that.
And yeah, a drug themed motherboard would be fucking offensive, what an idiotic question!
Historically there is and statistically gun violence is lower now than ever before hence no epidemic. It’s just what you see most on the news because that’s how they hold your attention and make their money.
They’d agree.
How? You don’t have to buy it. I’m sure you own some shit other people find offensive, what of it?
While 2021 saw the highest total number of gun deaths in the U.S., this statistic does not take into account the nation’s growing population. On a per capita basis, there were 14.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2021 – the highest rate since the early 1990s, but still well below the peak of 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974.
Highest since the early 1990s, doesn’t sound like it’s lower than ever before to me, right?
They’re probably one of my favorite series of all time. I played the first 3 on the Nathan Drake collection on PS4, then earlier this year I picked up Legacy of thieves on my Steam Deck, thinking it contained 1-4 along with Lost Legacy (I’m still a bit upset 1-3 never got a proper PC release but oh well).
I played through 4 and I think it may be my favorite of the franchise. It’s an amazing conclusion to Nathan’s story and it felt like a really amazing entry in the franchise imo. The franchise definitely embodies Sic Parvis Magna I feel like
Oh I see how that reads now. That was not a dig at you. I was just saying I hate those types of posts. Seeing as we are on shit post I just kind of assumed you were throwing it out there in all of it obnoxious glory
Lemmy doesn’t track your cumulative karma as far as I can tell. So it’s not really farming since you don’t even get a badge that says you have a big pp for it
Cats are conflicting for me. They can be cute, but I hate when they try to walk on me. Because I know if I try to move them they’ll probably scratch me. And that’s no bueno to me, just makes me anxious as fuck when they walk my way while i’m sitting on a couch trying to relax.
Dogs are too energetic and overstimulating for me to be around. I’m fairly allergic to them as well, so I have a decent excuse for the people who insist their dog will be perfectly well-behaved and calm (they weren’t).
Oh my God. A cat scratch. I wouldn’t wish that pain and agony on my worst enemy. I bet when it happened you had to sell that couch because of all the memories and PTSD. You don’t need a cat because you’re already a pussy anyway.
my cats walk over me like i’m a carpet. sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night with a paw in my mouth or a cats ass on my face. but they never scratch me on purpose.
The problem is I tend to shift around a lot, and cats hate that. So i try to “nip it in the bud” to make sure to avoid the situation altogether, but sometimes they sneak up on me while watching a movie or something.
Thats why you always keep the claw trimmers around and if theyre too long you push on their toe beans a bit to expose the claw, and give it a little snip. You dont get hurt and the cat now has an objective to make them sharp again over the next few weeks
That’s good to know! Unfortunately all the cats I see are other people’s, and so it would be awkward to be like “hey before we sit down, can we trim your cat’s claws a bit?”
