Warning to you gamers who get GameInformer through Gamestop's PowerUp program! Things are changing and we've been instructed not to tell you unless you ask! by GameStoppopotamusin gaming

[–]Grummond 3 points4 points ago

You're not actually killing trees. In fact, the more paper we use, the more trees are planted:

“The claim that using wood somehow leads to forest loss is backwards and silly. Every time we use wood—every time we buy a two-by-four at a lumberyard or a ream of paper at an office supply store—we are in fact ordering up new trees for planting in forests.”

Maybe you should inform yourself a little:

Sapphire HD 7770 Vapor-X review by mlkgin hardware

[–]Grummond 0 points1 point ago

Just be careful. You really shouldn't use a passively cooled videocard for gaming unless you have an extremely good airflow in your case. I ran a passively cooled card for a couple years, everything was fine in games until new games came out that really started to push the cards capabilities. This made my card overheat and die. Actually it died playing Armed Assault which was a quite demanding game when it came out.

With no fan on it, the card has no way of adapting to more demanding games and it WILL die from overheating sooner or later.

Fanless videocards are for HTPC's or for other less demanding tasks.

If it runs Full HD video over WiFi, then yes!

Supreme Commander: FA or Supreme Commander 2? by RibertGibertin supremecommander

[–]Grummond 1 point2 points ago

All I wanted from SupCom2 was more of the same. A Forged Alliance with a new campaign and maybe some new units. The game was already perfect, why change that?

Right. And my HTPC has an AMD E-350. Dual core. Running at 1.6 ghz.

Sometimes less is more.

Hey Reddit, I just had sex. How can I disguise this statement in the form of a question so that as many people as possible see it? by Guido_Johnin circlejerk

[–]Grummond 2 points3 points ago

There's a great way to achieve exactly what you want. Put a question mark at the end of your sentence. That makes most people believe that you are indeed asking a question, when you're really just making a statement.

How it feels after purchasing my first expensive NAS. by jakfdslin hardware

[–]Grummond 4 points5 points ago

I can relate. Just bought a Synology DiskStation 212.

At first you feel like THE MASTER OF THE NETS. Then you slowly start to forget it's even there, taking the convenience of it for granted.

T25/2's Mediocre Gun by redtracerin WorldofTanks

[–]Grummond 0 points1 point ago

Maybe I've just had bad luck with the matchmaker for the last 30-40 matches, but I keep getting put in matches with tiers 7-8-9-10 only. And at those tiers the KV3 plainly sucks imho. There's not many guns at those tiers that can't penetrate the 120mm of frontal armor reliably. Or the 130mm on the upgraded turret. Mine certainly doesn't bounce shots.

Yeah the new engine certainly makes it noticeably faster. But it's still sluggish and with a 32km/h top speed it's simply not a flanking tank. And at tiers 7-10 it needs to be able to flank with a gun that only penetrates 175mm.

not sure what Teir 7 tank to sell to get my first Teir 8 tank. by nawojin WorldofTanks

[–]Grummond 1 point2 points ago

The T29 is indeed awesome. The IS is "meh", too average to be fun, no strengths and no weaknesses, just all around "meh". KV3 is just crap. Horrible guns, awful matchmaking, useless armor at the tier it is playing against and it's slooow.

This is my first time using a computing PC. I have not browsed any webs before. Please tell me how to browse the intrawebs exploder.

Must be a problem with your computer too. devinlucifer never has problems with the website. At all.

Upgrading from 2 x 5700 series to a 7850 will it work with my psu? by Gormogonin hardware

[–]Grummond -1 points0 points ago

Please don't write anything in r/hardware again. Your "advice" will only hurt people who don't know any better. Quality>Quantity. This goes for PSU's as well...

Sometimes (quite often), a PSU from a reputable brand (like Seasonic) will work better in your system than a cheaper one that is rated to deliver more power. On paper.

T25/2's Mediocre Gun by redtracerin WorldofTanks

[–]Grummond 0 points1 point ago

SU-152 is shit with the regular guns. 175mm penetration does not cut it at that tier. I've reverted to the HE gun to at least do SOME damage.

The other tanks you mention, excel at flanking. They do not have problems penetrating even tier 10 tanks.

T25/2's Mediocre Gun by redtracerin WorldofTanks

[–]Grummond -7 points-6 points ago

Boohoo. Now try driving a KV3. Same penetration and same matchmaking, and you're among the slowest tanks on the battlefield. You can only DREAM of flanking...And the armor is worthless at tiers 7-10.

You're assuming all PSU's are the same. Sometimes a good 500 watt PSU supplies more/better power than a cheap 700 watt.

The Reason ASUS refuses to honor the warranty on my motherboard by Itaintright2in geek

[–]Grummond 0 points1 point ago

That sounds bad. I've always used ASUS motherboards for my homebuilt PC's and never had to send one back or deal with their customer service. They seem to take any abuse I administer to them, my current one is 4 years old, been overclocked to hell and back, had umpteen different devices plugged into it, been in several different configurations. Not. a. single. problem. ASUS motherboards just seem to refuse to break.

That doesn't help you of course, and I'm upvoting this for the small chance someone at ASUS notices...A bad customer service is not acceptable no matter how good your products are. They should send someone over to Logitech to see how they handle customer service.

In your humble opinion, what tanks are the scrappiest dog-fighters? by SpookyBluesin WorldofTanks

[–]Grummond 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I stopped progressing down the russian medium line because I just love that little tank. That gun fires like a machine gun at close range. At longer ranges the aim time limits how fast you can fire, even with GLD, but it still fires very rapidly.

Too bad it doesn't have a gunner, it would be great having the snap shot skill on this tank.
