Racicsm about keyboard layouts. Really ...

Dude, I got 768 GB of DDR4 ECC RAM for only 550 € 18 months ago. The same RAM modules now suddenly even dwarf your 5090 because prices got so SO!!! absurd. I was in the same position, just with RAM. Because of this I want to give you some different advices:

1. If you are a gamer and you know, that the 5090 is overkilling things you do, sell it and get a "cheaper" one. A 5080 is enough for most of the / every time.
2. If you are a AI bro, sell it and get TWO W7800 48GB for that money. You'll end up with three times the VRAM at the same cost (and somehow even less needed power). In this regard the 5090 is crazy overhyped and people only get it because "others also buy it" and now we have prices like this. If you know how this technology works, go for max VRAM, not max GPU.
3. If you are a speculator, still wait and see the price climb even more, but be aware, the crash will come sudden and you may not have time to cash out in time.
4. If you use the 5090 as a gamer and to the max, keep it and enjoy it, but watch the power cable. I see you don't habe a cable warden. Get one asap because this card has the potential to burn everything around it.

What I ended up doing? I didn't sell the RAM. There is a reason why I was buying it and this reason did not change only because prices went crazy. If I would sell it, I could not do the things I want to do with it and it's not like I could buy "cheaper" RAM with that money. I kept it and am tinkering with it every day.

Nononono, it is recommended to watch the scenery for at least 2.4 seconds, because a happy helldiver is a deadly helldiver. From high command we know, that on average a helldiver on the battlefield is alive for about 2 minutes.

Edit: The fact checked source by Truth Enforcers is https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Helldiver

Here in Europe having a gun is a little bit of a taboo. If you see one somewhere in the open and it is not the police having it ...you can bet this person won't get 200 meters before being confronted by police and will never be able to get a gun again. This is a very VERY serious thing here.

There are very strikt rules for transporting firearms here. If you have one, you don't want to be seen with it in public, AT ALL, and if you break the rules and get cought by doing so, that's it with your license. There is no second amendment here, it's only a permit.

I know, I know, second amendment and so on. Truth is, I am a teacher and I am glad that guns are one less thing I have to worry about.

So yes, guns being this taboo does make Europe indeed safer.

The city wall back then was where the Ringstrasse is today. I know, that turks breached the walls at some points and they got at least as far as to where the Hofburg is today. A quick measurement on Google Maps shows, that the distance to the canon ball in the walls of the cathedral seems to be like 560 meters, maybe even less.

The second siege was extremly brutal and we were very close to loosing the city. It is said, that the ride of the Rohirim in Lord of the Rings, when they came to aid Gondor and defended Minas Tirith, is based on exactly this moment in history when the relief army arrived. It was the largest cavalry charge in history, when 18000 riders came down the hill in the west and especially the 3000 "Winged Huskars" of the polish King where at the very front. They crushed the turkish forces under the hooves of their horses.

In the days after the battle, they found a tunnel under one vital part of the walls, filled with black powder ready to get ignited. It is very possible, that Vienna would have fallen on exactly that very day, would the relief army not have arrived. Today generations of Austrians are forever gratefull for the help Poland lended us that day. This was a VERY close battle for the inhabitants of the city.

But you are my brother / sister in arms in this game and may we still not share the same views, I would still raise my arms to defend you. So lets just let it rest, shall we?

Your sarcasm has not gone unnoticed, aswell as your lack of historical knowledge of super citizens of the site where such things happened and your desire to have the last word.

Oh, my medals? Yeah, they come in boxes, but most of the time they usually come from missions I enjoy fighting when diving with my brothers and sisters in defence of the freedom and liberty of Super Earth.

OOC: From your replies I imply, that you are from the US? Well, without any bad feelings towards you and really only a truly friendly advice (I know that it is hard to believe, that Austrians can say something without sarcasm, but yet, here we are), watch out. The things that are happening in your country do remind me of the things that happened here between 1925 - 1938 in more than one way. It truly is dangerous and I do hope that you remain the land of the free and the brave.

TBH, I could say this already at this current time, aswell at some points in the past, but luckily this is none of my buisness (yet) and would derive the conversation into a direction we really should not take. So I won't and just move along.

... move along, super citizen ... just wave and smile.

Again, I live in Austria. I visited the places where this happened. We Austrians learn about this in detail and how it was possible that this happened. It DOES happen faster than you think. This is not a hyperbolical question, it has happened.

You would be surprised how quick something like this can happen ...

Edit: Oh, and now amount of downvotes makes this less true.

Nah, that would be to interesting.

Look, I get how you are feeling. Getting banned for that is a slap in the face, and undeserved one as it seems.

To ease the burden on your mind: Don't let it get to your heart. There are so many unimportant people in positions that make these kind of decisions and they think they are important ... the longer you think about it, the more you feel pity for them. I know it angers you in the moment, but I hope you find some comfort by knowing, that with this attitude this place will soon rot from the inside no matter what and now at least you don't have to witness it first hand. It will become an echo chamber like it has happened so many times before and you have the luck to not be a part of that.

I hope I was able to ease the burden at least a little bit. Take a walk, think about it and in a couple of days, I think, you will say "Yeah, you know what? Screw that. This place was a circlejerk anyway.".

I see it like the Hogwarts Legacy situation, just from the other way around. What I mean by this?

People cried about J.K.Rowling and wanted everyone to boycott Hogwarts Legacy, only because of her -> Gamers told them to fuck off and it became a hit because it was a very good game.

People cry now because of the voice actress and want everyone to boycott GoY, only because of her -> ... IT'S THE SAME DAMN SITUATION!!!

So yeah, I don't buy it. Often you can "smell" if there is something wrong with a game and this time, despite the VA seems to be a "not quite nice person" I don't smell the scent I noticed when I saw other trailers. This time I think this is a case of "I think there are many people just overreacting".

Unpop opinion: I really think Actman is in the right here. I really do.

For example, I think calling the upcoming game Ghost of Yotei "woke" because the hero is a woman and the voice actress is a crazy person is dumb. I mean, the VA seems like a insufferable person (don't get me wrong), but if we boycott this game now only because of this, we would be no better than the morrons who cried about Hogwarts Legacy when they wanted to boycott it because of J.K.Rowling.

So yeah, in my opinion, he does have good points.

And I think you are an asshole. Good thing my opinion about you doesn't matter and your opinion of me neither.

Damn ... you have my upvote.

Because you have written something on the Internet that they do not agree with.

Seriously: We were banned from the Lands Between in the first place because we are tarnished and because the Grace was taken away from us. Now we're back, but many people don't know that we can see the Grace again. Not even in the Roundtable Hold do they know that we are among those who can and we can only confirm it to them (Brother Corhyn for example). Apparently you can't tell the difference "from the outside" between a Tarnished who can see the Grace and those who can't. Those who see it can identify others whom can see it (as seen in at the beginning of the fight against Godfrey).

The mods have now removed many of the too mean posts and it has become much nicer towards him now. 6 hours after the OP posted it there (the time I took the screenshot), it looked way saltier.

Yes, with 114 you can best her. I did it once with 60 and two +18 weapons (because I'm so damn stubborn) and it was a battle my daughter sings tales about. She's 8 and a Malenia fan since this fight and to be clear, she thinks it is absolute awesome for a girl to be the hardest boss in the game. Today she even asked me to print her a coloring picture of Malenia because she thinks she is so cool. Well, why not ^^

Back to topic, I fought her a couple of times at very different levels and with different builds and let me tell you, some ways are way easier than others. With 114 you should be able to solo her, but if it is your first time it will be a enormous challange. Still, the feeling you will have when she bites the dust will be a legendary reward, let me assure you this.

If you go up in level the fight becomes easier, but never really a cakewalk since a little bit of skill is always required. 150 ... 180 ... 225 ... 300 ... yes, it gets easier. But if you really want do go for it then yes, 114 is enough and you will feel like the chapion of the world.

​

Hell, there are some people which let her know defeat while being level 1. Level 1!!!

So yes, you can do it, Tarnished! Teach her defeat!
