they didnt need upgrading because they sat mostly still till amd caught up.

they intentionally made the consumer platform stay with quad cores for over 8 generations till AMD came around with Ryzen Gen 1 to be remotely competitive.

theres a reason why 5% per generation was a joke for almost a decade.

well its less it doesnt have a touch screen, the touch screen is an optional purchase.

the range iirc in some overview is 2 options, one was i think 150mi, the other was 240mi

preview on the teams potential future.

its also like a graduation where theyre celebrating the class who basically worked their ass off for at least half their lives to get to that point. you can make the potential argument that getting drafted by the nfl is significantly more difficult than graduating, yet people celebrate that.

its easier to sell popular trends than it is to sell something unique. most people (writers included) are followers, not trendsetters.

according to my friend who uses it, some went to 8chan (4chan but can create new communities in the same vein of reddit), and the more extreme ones would go to soyjack or kiwifarms

gacha have element of chance, but usually speaking, gacha especially in asian games tend to also be tied to some form of power and is not purely cosmetic.

ao its not just purely, i want this character/costume/weapon because it looks cool, but theyres stats attached to it.

western game loot boxes generally sit more often as coametic, so the desire to pay isnt as bad (but can still be bad) but of course this doesnt apply to all western games either. an example of gacha based power is ultimate teams for sports games, which its gacha has players stats tied to them for team building.

gacha and loot boxes are fundamentally the same, but connotatively, gacha usually implies power and lootbox implies cosmetics, but technically not incorrect to use it either way.

if you want a dumb comparison, gacha is seen like trading card games, where power of the card also has value.

lootbox is sorta like sports cards where its collective in nature and really is about rarity/how the card looks

theres also the chance that at least for TTYD, that was a players choice version of the game, which retailed for 20$ new. since its 2006, on the wake of the Wii

i think he wasted too much gpu grunt on lighting and shadows and not enough on texture

then you ahould talk about it. communication is key in a relationship.

for regular ass house on a regular ass street, yes. exceptions are made for condominiums, apartment complexes and gated communities.

all games use it to some extent, the ones that use/need it the most are online games where several players are on the same map typically.

battlefield and battlefield adjacent games for example have historically pelted the CPU. because they often have massive player counts.

probably want to check the reletive rates of Nagasaki/Hiroshima and maybe Fukushima for good measure compared to the rest of japan.

i typically do not have auto correct on because i tend to type on a lot of tech oriented sites which tend to have a lot of acronyms i dont want autocorrected.

while typing this, i had to correct 3 words.

i typo a lot on mobile because small phone and i tap to text and not swipe gesture.

well not nintendo directly, but Square Enix, Bandai and Konami has recently increased wages.

can wirhstand 2, thus requires 3 drives to die to lose data, theyre the same thing.

• What's the cheapest and most flexible NAS I can make from eBay or local? What kind of processors and what motherboard features?

cheapest is some decade old oem desktop ideally with as many sata ports as possible. the most flexible is whatever gives the most pci-e lane bandwith as they can be converted to most things. processor features most dont matter unless the NAS is also a media server, which you want an igpu that can do hardware encoding to whatever usecase you have.

• What separate guides should I follow to source the drives? What RAID?

i dont have a reccomendation on drive, but if you value drive redundancy, raid 1 (mirror) or raid 6(if youre using zfs, that would be zfs z2, this layout is basically requires 3 drives to die in order to lose data)

• What backup style should I follow? How many cold copies? How do I even handle the event of a fire?

its on you on how you want to handle offsite backups be it cloud, or you having a clone that you manually backup offsite. pick whatever suits your needs

OP is basically looking for the hypothetical endgame intel optane thats almost as fast as ram. he doesnt however know that the optane project is functionally dead.

something sonething those people who want wwhd/tphd

tldr Saban didnt want unionized actors and went out of their way to cast functionally nobodies for the lowest price. Its why after this dispute, it was much less common for cast members to be retained for the next season. Outside of Jason David Frank and Johnny Yong Bosch, it was much more rare for any ex cast member to return in a series several series later.
