yep. I would love that too but the language barrier would be the worst

Yes it would. incidentally English is thought in almost all European countries so generally it wouldn’t be that bad but I’d make a point of at least trying to learn the language of where I visit. I don’t want to be that dumb British guy who only speaks his own language.

yep. though i wouldnt be able to learn much while driving around. i would try and learn the basic for the area though.

German, French, Russian, and possibly Italian.

I could scrounge enough to live fairly decently from recycling if I wanted, though I have to pay off all my debts before that.
Which will just take some time. And after that I could easily just be a traveler in my van after upgrading it a bit with insulation, some batteries and updated electrical, and stuff like that.

The way I’d do it is stay in and travel within a country to acclimatize to the language and culture before moving to somewhere else. say spend a week or so in France, then Germany, maybe a couple of weeks in Russia etc. That way you get to take in all the different places in more depth than just moving from place to place.

I mean isn’t that whats so good about this? you can stay anywhere you want for as long as you want and only move on when you feel its time. even say if you go to a country and it wasn’t for you then easily could go back to where you were or even somewhere new entirely.

Also lol
So much salt over this article its amazing

I mean I have a 970 and it isn’t the greatest of cards on newer titles. is pretty damn good if you turn the settings down though

I mean its that article about Sea of thieves mentioned earlier today lol by polygon

I’m aware, and yes really shouldn’t be reviewing a game and criticizing its performance using cards with an older architecture or at least make it so that isn’t the ONLY card you test it on. I mean I’m sure many would want to know how it runs on a 970 but I think more people would be interested on how its performance is on a 580 or 1060.

yes but a 970 is still a fairly good card. if its struggling to run on that then i feel bad for anyone with a 1060

I just think it shouldn’t be the only card they used. it is severely limited by vram though so that could account for at least some of that but yes your right I’d just want those numbers first.

also there is no official min/max numbers for the recommended specs. though im seeing quotes around a 960/1050 and some kind of i5. so its not completely insane but its still fairly high. This is also not a review. This was someone posting on polygon going ā€œThis game makes me sick and my 970 is struggling with it atm. Be carefulā€. Not gonna argue on wether or not this was a smart move .

oh that makes more sense then. I thought they were slating the games performance in general when running it on a single 970 which would be bad. If this was just an opinion piece than I really don’t think its any bad because the outline of the article is accurate. ā€œit makes me sick when I run it on a 970ā€ which is correct. If the 960/1050 with an i5 turns out what the game is aiming for then I’d love to see those numbers based on how it ran on this 970.

Adding to the fact its in beta further reinforces that point lol
Its in beta so performance probably isn’t what release is going to be

alright, so if its a beta I really don’t see what all the fuss is about then. I can see that the article It is somewhat disingenuous because isn’t completely representative of the games true performance but they weren’t lying either and that could turn out what the game is like so should really just wait until the game is released before throwing this stuff around.

Also updating my stream room and background gear, will be amusing once it’s all set up as I have a few OG boxes that have nice pics on them lol
I think I may just switch to my RX 570 + 1500X system again for streaming and the like until I can figure out what in the actual hell is wrong with my MSI board. And can also use the MSI board to bench old hardware in the meantime.

Because pairing dual 6970s with an 1800X is fun lol.
Or even better, dual 3850s rofl
