Tethered Bottle Caps
  • True, true it is just a deposit, but it certainly helps. Compared to England where I lived until I was 38 there are far fewer bottles littering the streets here in Denmark, although a lot of that can be put down to general public attitude probably. Never had a bottle stab me! Sounds like a case of bad quality control.

  • Oh wait.. PANT & pants.. So was being a bit slow! 😂

  • Tethered Bottle Caps
  • Normally one or the other is enough. Wearing both is 'more than needed" but does work as a safety net. :)

  • Maybe they make them better here in Denmark. Plus we have "Pant" where you pay more for the bottles but get money back when you return them so it's a "belt and braces" approach I guess!

  • Perhaps becuase you've only opened it half way, you need to lift it back over again and clip in under the rim.

  • Som englĂŠnder som bor i Danmark var denne en interessant kamp for mig! ;) England spille som de plejer, score og sĂ„ "sit back", men Danmark var meget imponerende. Nu skal de begge videre og vinde deres sidste group-kampe!

  • Jeg har kun set de to fĂžrste afsnit indtil videre, men det ser godt ud.

  • I'm not used to having a King back in England yet, now I have to do the same here. Bit of a shocker, but I can understand her position.

  • What's your favorite two player board game?
  • My wife and I have been playing a lot of the 2 player varient of The Crew this month. Works really well with the "Jarvis" third player and makes for a good quick game to reel through a few missions of.

  • Out of touch old timer planning a new build
  • At my age with my eyesight a little up-scaling is fine, especially as I've been having to spend the past few years playing newer games at half resolution sometimes to get decent frame-rates on the 1660 ;) I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for any price drops when the next series of cards come out. Hoping this build will be one I can tinker with better parts as the prices drop in the future.

  • Out of touch old timer planning a new build
  • The 7600 vs 7600X here in Denmark is only a 100 DKK difference, (About $14) so I figured, what the hell :)

    Good point, the one i have flagged right now is CL36 so I'll have a look into the options there.

    Yeah, I was thinking of going full AMD as I haven't for a long time, and nVidia are a little, shall we say, consumer unfriendly.. but like you say I'm not sure how well that will play with the AI stuff. I actually looked at getting a second hand 3060 just to save money so I could replace it sooner in the future but not a huge number of them out there locally, especially as I'm on a small island which further limits that route.

    Just realised I never listed my monitor resolution, but I think either option will be good enough for 1440P?

  • Out of touch old timer planning a new build
  • Good info, thanks. I've certainly seen a few YT vids with people having issues with Expo, had hoped they would have been ironed out by now, but as you say not game ending stuff, just rather annoying I can imagine.

    Hello all, looking for a sanity check and any advice from you good folks. I've always built my own PCs, however I haven't done a build for myself in some time. For a bit of perspective my current system is an i5-3750... so yup.

    Anyways, I'm thinking of hopping up to an AM5 system hoping that it will be valid for a few years (though maybe not the 10+ I've had out of this system!) while also getting in as relatively cheaply as possible, whilst still being in a fairly solid place. So my thought are as follows: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (Cooling via a Pure Rock 2) MoBo: ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS WiFi RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000Mhz 32GB GFX: MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2X (12GB) NVMe: WD Black SN770 2TB PSU: Corsair RM850e Case: NZXT H7 Flow Midi Tower (Will be a shame to let go of my old NZXT Phantom but too many of the fans are weird sizes so awkward to replace, and wasn't designed with modern AIOs in mind, should I go that route in the future.)

    A couple of extra bits of information:

    It's mainly a system I will use for gaming, though these days there's not so many fast pace shooters as there are slow paced city builders and the like, so ultimate frame rates are not a super top priority for me. Edit: Gaming on a 1440P LG Ultragear

    I went RTX 3060 as it seemed to be the cheapest way to get a relatively modern card (Currently using a GTX 1660 Ti) with 12GB of VRAM, as I've started playing around a lot with AI Image Generation which does like to eat up VRAM.

    PSU is probably way more than this system will need, but figured it was best to leave headroom for future CPU/GPU upgrades, and the price difference for lower wattages seems negligible. (Contemplated a 1000W, but there the price jump seems to lie)

    So any advice, or just "yup looks good" feedback would be welcomed before I jump back in to building.

    Oh also this build is currently around the 10,000 DKK range and hoping to stick around that area. ($1,400 / £1,150 / €1,350)

  • Love how, in this instance, the extra "toes" to the left of the picture actually add to the atmosphere of the creature.

  • Armoured shieldmaiden patrols the morning woods
  • Thanks, I'm spending a lot of time playing with all the skin 'imperfections' to try and avoid the "airbrushed model" look I seem to get by default. Which makes sense given the vat majority of content the AI has to work with I guess.
