The extra hour is for his nap time

Just got renewed for 4 more seasons iirc about a month or so ago

Understandable, if perhaps less whimsical

Spoiler: we know they’re cowards, even without this … toot? Is this Mastodon? Is that the right terminology?

Analysis based on GN benchmarks
It appears to basically be a downclocked 5600X3D, so the 5500X3D will definitely fall short of the performance of AM5 X3D CPUs, given that the weakest of that bunch, the 7600X3D, outperforms the 5600X3D from 3-12% in gaming and 12-24% in productivity.

The amount of downclocking is pretty similar to that of the 5700X3D vs the 5800X3D, so if the 5500X3D is similarly affected compared to the 5600X3D, it would be expected to be anywhere from 6-11% worse in gaming and 4-8% worse in productivity.

So then, using the averages of those ranges, the 7600X3D would outperform our assumed 5500X3D on average by about 16.6% in gaming and 25% in productivity. Beyond that you’ve also got the 7800X3D and 9800X3D which would further improve performance (or the Ryzen 9 X3D chips but those aren’t as popular).

While pricing seems unknown for now, I think if you’re determined to remain on AM4, I would just spend the extra for a 5700X3D, especially if you can find it on a sale, and get the most out of that AM4 that you can now for the rest of its life. But if you can budget a full platform upgrade with new mobo and DDR5 RAM, the 7800X3D seems to be coming back down in price, although not quite as cheap as it was Q4 2023 up to mid 2024.

Me jumping on dock posts praying that Altair doesn’t decide to do a sudden 90 degree turn into death water:

What about this: Sharpie… on the masking tape.

Your face right now:

I haven’t played it personally, but Savage Attacker was garbage in 2014 rules, and 2024 didn’t change it any, so arguably it’s even more garbage now due to power creep. Great Weapon Fighting (GWF), to my amazement, has actually gotten literally worse not even accounting for power creep. It’s still better than Savage Attacker once you get a second attack though, due to Savage Attacker’s once per turn limitation. And yes, the raised damage floor from GWF does seem to mean less situations where you would want to use Savage Attacker, and lowered gains from using it.

As for how much it’s affected, assuming your DM does not allow these feats to apply to Divine Favor (not sure how the 2024 rules feel about this but I believe that was considered the ‘official’ ruling in 2014), Savage Attacker adds 1.37 average damage to a hit with your maul when you do not have GWF, but only 0.91 average damage to a hit when you do have GWF.

P.S. As a fellow maul enjoyer, thank you for your dedication to the superior 2d6 weapon.

The year is 2062. Flying cars are finally real, true AI has enabled fully automated luxury gay space communism, and AMD announces the 59765X4D for AM4, compatible with 300 series chipset and higher motherboards with a BIOS update.

On top of that, the last 3 I’d say were never really PC specific to begin with.

One must imagine OOP happy

Good answer, good answer

Why should this be known?

Some random news editor: Why is Pete sending this to me?

Or just move “Don’t call me” up and “No you don’t” left, and you can have straight lines to those

He knows what he did

Black holes don’t just roam around looking for planets to snack on.

Don’t tempt a black hole into coming down here

I thought about that, but I felt it more apt that we’re playing a different game entirely. I also thought about saying we’re just the board that the real pieces are marching on top of in their power struggles.
