    Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition Benchmark Thread!

    FFXV tops my Steam wishlist right now so I'll see how well this works...4K will choke my GPU so I'm not bothering with that. 1080p standard: 7480 1080p high: 5121 i5-8400 @ stock GTX 980 Matrix @ stock 16GB DDR4-2400 Better than I expected...the results page is putting me in the same tier as...

    How much do you have in your savings account?

    Would've cracked the 10k mark this year but had unexpected medical costs that I won't have to worry about again. Far from being drained, though it does set back investment goals a bit.

    Worst GPUs of All Time?

    I sidestepped the S3 Virge, but the S3 Savage was pretty bad. It looked good but the performance was miserable. Mentioning the 4850 and 290X is a bunch of ROFLMAO. Those were solid price/perf choices when they came out.

    The consensus best PS3 emulator for PC?

    There's one emulator I know of in development that is starting to get a handful of playable games...mostly simpler 2D stuff. Last I checked it just did homebrew. Development is young, but saying a PS3 emulator doesn't exist just isn't true. But emulating MLB? Forget it. Won't happen anytime soon.

    Pen Pineapple Apple Pen?

    From what little I've read about this song, it has simple linguistic appeal for the Japanese...very roughly what "she sells seashells by the seashore" does for English. Throw a rock at any of YouTube's most viewed list, you'll likely come up with better examples.

    Uwe Boll to retire

    Good!^n ...yeah, the market is dead because you killed it. Most movie directors try the VG movie concept once or twice because they usually don't do well and don't want to lose money. This guy just kept cranking them out, even though most or all of them were critical and commercial failures...

    Do you keep crashing your car?

    A couple fender benders on my first...didn't hurt my car, though. Totaled my second car. Hit a bad patch of windblown snow faster than I should have. Someone else crashed into my third. Drinking and driving is stupid enough on its own by those who do it at night. Blowing a 0.2 by noon and...

    [Poll] What is your ethnic background?

    Mostly Celtic. 50+% Irish 25% British 25% French 12.5% Native American (Iroquois subset, I believe) It's weird to have a fair complexion and be able to tan.

    Do you keep cash in your car?

    These days? Outside of loose change for meters/tolls, no. Once upon a time I would leave $20 in my car for gas. When I hit 1/4 and went to the station it would get me to full or pretty close to it.

    Give away your guns for bus tickets!!

    Gun buybacks are always a fucking joke, just on economics alone. These pop up in America, too, and they aren't any less stupid than the Canadian version. Even 50 of the most expensive Halifax tickets for an adult don't crack $175 (the article says $100). Buying a brand-new Hi-Point pistol just...

    Poll: How much sleep do you need?

    <3 hours I start considering skipping sleep altogether (unless it's a nap) 3-4 tired but functional 5-6 is okay 6-7 is best 7-9 if the previous day was long, catching up on sleep or light sleeping. Beyond that it starts getting counterproductive...at the 10-hour mark it feels like I slept only...

    Six-year-old Afghan girl reportedly sold in marriage

    You mean this guy. And yeah, not only is it Afghan tribalism, but there's also an absurdly high degree of "respecting elders" there that makes this sort of thing an uphill battle. A 60ish cleric wouldn't be questioned readily by the average person.

    It's not, though the guy playing him is pretty damn close to being a dead ringer for Jackson.

    China(*) buys Vizio for 1/2 Starwars (2 billion with a B)

    It's LG and Samsung that have the always-on mic monitoring. My Vizio doesn't have a mic, and that hasn't changed in later models last I checked. Vizio only got crap for "burying" their smart interactivity tracker setting which is fundamentally no different than what Facebook does.

    YAGT: OMG I love guns

    I don't imagine there would be any issues with ammo. While I don't carry a Px4, it was under consideration when I wanted something smaller than my SIG Pro. I previously liked the feel of both the Px4 compact and its Beretta 8000/Cougar precursor and wouldn't mind having either, but weren't...

    Do Americans get voter registration cards in the mail?

    Pennsylvania has voter registration but it isn't compulsory. Registration is done online and the card is mailed. I'd like to do it by mail-in ballot, unfortunately the state only allows it if it isn't possible at all to be at the polling place for the entire day.
