I mean charging the vendor a processing fee, not the vendor charging the customer for the credit card fee. That’s actually illegal in the US, though businesses can offer a cash discount, they can’t charge fees for using cards if they accept them. When I ran my business our card handler charged 3. something percent on every transaction with card, higher for credit than debit.

Do Visa, Mastercard, etc, not charge transaction fees in Europe? The only place I’ve been where there’s no transaction fees paid by the vendor is China.

And here we see the aforementioned snob in its natural habitat; gatekeeping.

Most pc gamers play on shitty integrated gpu laptops and play stuff like LoL, they’ll be just fine with 30fps in heavy games like BG3. PC snobs, however, will complain incessantly.

China is probably the one place that can lay claim to that particular tradition being ancient. They go hard for spring festival.

I definitely didn’t, and I’m still not sure I do, but it was compelling.

Exactly. Then you get this face 😑

I like to say, “that’s the year I was born” to the cashier at stores, no matter what my total is. It’s really funny when it’s like $19.35. Well, funny for me, they just give me that dead in the eyes look that I remember having when I worked retail.

Hamas charter excerpt.
16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

Yeah Horizon really struggles when you’re trying to get 60, it’s much more stable at the 40fps 120hz mode, but that only helps like… 3% of people at most.

Ahh you said performance mode was getting 20-30, I think that may have been a typo?

Horizon gets a pretty solid 30, but it’s much better at 40 for sure in the performance mode. Ghost you should just run in performance mode also, it’s a PS4 game, so it can crank the graphics pretty high and still get a solid 60fps. I don’t think I’ve ever even tried the quality mode in that one. Returnal is 60fps no matter what if I remember, but I could be wrong. Most games run at 60 in performance, which is why I was confused when you said 20-30. Performance mode will also automatically adjust internal resolution while still outputting 4k in most cases, so you still get your interface at native resolution. Demons Souls for example, runs at 1440p60 with 4k interface and it’s so gorgeous.

What ps5 games are you playing that get 20-30 fps in performance mode? All the ones I own, which is almost every major ps5 title, has performance modes that either do 60fps dynamic resolution, 1440p60 wrapped in 4k, or 40fps at 4k120, or dynamic 4k60. Some get 45+ on average with unlocked framerate and dynamic refresh rate.

What desktop card do you have? Must be a pretty pricey one to outperform the ps5 at 4k. My 2070 is smoked by the ps5. I’m going to upgrade to the 5070 when it comes out.

Does the ps5 still not support native 1440p? Is that why you pick 1080p?

1440 looks nice up close, on smaller screens, but it’s definitely not got the pixel density to compare to 4k on larger panels. Both have their place and use cases.

Titanfall is the only game I’ve seen that took surfing, and not only did it on purpose, but built the whole game around it. That’s why I love it so much, you literally just use your surf skills to fly around the maps like a fighter jet, doing dive bombs on people and just overall being a menace.

Do you have the og picture? I really like it.

Bro be careful eating your shit, that stroganoff looks much more tasty.
