Shoutout to all my homies driving manuals, that's where it's at.

OT: My 2002 4WD manual Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, Lynn. Terrible pic but it's the only one I've got of it (the only that doesn't have one of my friends on the roof).

Off Topic / Well-respected member (and a friend) in the HAWKEN community drowns

This sucks. Young guy, full of life and full of love for others, drowned while swimming across a river during a camping trip. I wasn't super close with him but he was still my friend in the HAWKEN gaming community, and was well-loved by everyone. Sucks his time was so short. RIP bkcat. :(

OP on the HAWKEN forum.

what the hell thats incredibly loving clean holy stuff 10/10

the only part i dont like is how the upper "armor spikes" warp during the windup. a simple shrink/rotation would have done well enough - it makes it look like some odd organic thing rather than the sleek metallic medallion it looks like initially.

Yeah now that you mention it I don't either... This was just something I made while bored at work lol, so I don't think I'll bother fixing it. Wish I had noticed that sooner though.

radeon sounds cooler than geforce

But GeForce is literally cooler than Radeon.

NVIDIA has almost every advantage over AMD aside from price, especially in the world of workstations/rendering.

Off Topic / Re: Adding more RAM, tips?

« on: July 01, 2016, 02:12:59 PM »

While I do have to agree with you that most games cannot use more than 4GB of RAM and thus an upgrade shouldn't have any effect, I also cannot deny that I did see a noticeable improvement in PS2 upon upgrading my RAM (and yes, that's the ONLY thing that changed). I would love it if this could be explained but I'm not sure if anyone would know what is going on...

EDIT: After a little bit of research I may have discovered why it helped. Although PS2 can only use 4GB of RAM, apparently it has some pretty major memory leak issues, which, when pair alongside the rapid use of the 4GB of RAM due to ultra-textures and the system using RAM for other processes, I can see why increasing it might help.

well he may have gotten faster ram that also has a higher capacity

for component speeds in gaming, gpu > cpu > ram

Although in some odd cases RAM actually helps more. For example, when I started playing Planetside 2, my FPS was fine and I had no issues running the game... except for the fact that every five seconds I'd have massive frame drops (while moving). Although I am completely confused as to why increasing my RAM from 8GB to 16GB fixed this issue, it did and I ain't complaining.

OT: Considering most of what Filipe does (aside from games) on the computer is mod/create videos and similar graphically intensive things, more RAM will likely help him more than a CPU or GPU upgrade (unless his are terrible, which I would think not seeing as he records with shaders and shadows in Blockland just fine).

adding more ram doesn't make it faster, it just increases it's capacity
you can get 64gb of ram but if it's like one byte per decade then there's no point

Although it will in turn make your computer faster performing certain operations, even if the RAM itself isn't faster.
