Its really not fun having NATO constantly lose

Flaired Vanilla but it really applies to any server. Its not a new thought or topic of irritation. But its been like 3 years of me playing the game and USSR wins like 95% of the time and sometimes its within an hour. I'd at least like to make rank to pull an LAV but i really don't want to run supplies for 20 mins to then only be able to use it for maybe 15 before it ends. I dont want auto balancing because it takes away from the sandbox experience, but there has to be something that can be done, right? I really don't mean to talk bad about console players either but it really seem like maybe 10% of them are there to be a asset rather than a liability. I love the fact that consoles can boost player counts but for the love of God help them do better.

Need help with a dominant 8 year old male cat

I have a 8 year old diabetic male that became diabetic about 8 months after getting a kitten. For the most part they can exist together, but its never anything more than that. At worst he'll chase her around the house and if he gets ahold of her he pins her down. I think the added stress of the smaller female cat in the house is worsening his Glucose control. Is there a way to get them to get along? Sometimes she'll jump up on the bed where yes laying and try to lick him, to which he just starts smacking the shit out of her lol. Sometimes there's fur but never blood etc. Its never terrible just bad.

Todays Antique store finds

Total of $35 spent. Bentley works although the contrast knob is stuck, and the Samsung TV function works but i think the radio switch is broken or corroded. Still cool though

Would you buy a spare flyback if they were still available?

This is BF6 ever since my FBT went out ive basically lost interest in gaming. If you own a Sony G520 or the common rebadge versions, would you but a flyback as a spare if you could find one, even if it works perfectly?

Monitor repair in FL?

If anyone knows a good company or individual preferably in south FL, i need help with a P1130. Its arcing periodically and hasn't quit yet. In total its probably only done it like 10-15 times but its been in two days or so. Went from never doing it once to multiple times when warmed up.

This happens frequently probably every 20 mins or so. This is my Dell P1130. Ignore the dryer running in the background

Edit: this is 960x720 @165 hz

I love this game

Ive been playing Arma since probably 2006 around when Operation Flashpoint Elite was released on the original Xbox. I don't say that to sound like im superior in anyway but only because ive never really ever had a need to set it down.

It scratches an itch that no other Genre has. not squad, not Tarkov, not battlefield nor Hell let loose. I love that its not a strict milsim but rather a sandbox where it can be played in any fashion you want. You can go from Afghanistan simulator to taking on Separatist in starwars or the covenant in Halo mods. Aside from the issues Reforger may or may not have, its still Goated in my book

Conpletely sold on CRT for PC FPS games

I purchased a dell P1130 (Sony G520 rebadged) and its honestly the greatest thing ive ever seen. I never realized how bad motion blur from modern flat panels screwed up my ability to track targets or objects. Currently playing BF6 at 1792x1344 at 90HZ and its smoother than 144hz on my Gsync monitor. Gaming with the lights off also makes the colors so rich and vibrant, with very little aliasing. Obviously the resolution is a little bit lower but id rather take the motion clarity. Totally sold

Im having issues with mouse stuttering?

First person Turning in vehicle is buttery smooth but using the mouse to look around is jittery

\--‐--------------------

5080

I9-13900k

32GB DDR5

970 EVO M.2

Logitec G203 or G305 mouse and even a PS5 controller

\-----------------------

Some games like squad, garrys mod warthunder dont do this, games like BF6 and planetside 2 Do.

CPU: 55C, 20% utilization

GPU: 40C, 13% utilzation, 2745MHz

Vram: 48C, 24% utilization, 15001MHz

Tested this on Planetside and seems not to matter which monitor its on.

It looks sort of like screen tearing but not really. You can see the edges of objects jitter or stutter only ehen moving the mouse. But if im driving a vehicle and turn to make the same motion its perfect. Ive tried every combination of Vsync, frame caps and low latency modes to try and sort it out but genuinely have no idea whats going on.

I found the issue with my PC i think but i still need help

I noticed some games stutter and BF6 is one of them. I though it could be a frame pacing issue but i have a pretty high end rig (5080 32 gb ddr5 and i913900k) and noticed that the stuttering only happens when i move the mouse and not moving around. I have a 2k 165hz monitor that is my primary and some games i like to use an old CRT. I think its not as noticeable with the 2k panel due to g sync hiding imperfections, but thats easily lost on a fixed refresh rate monitor such as a Dell p1130.

I have a logitec G305 wireless mouse, a wired version and a Ps5 controller and its only ever the look axis that creates these issues. Some games are butter others like BF6, and planetside 2 are just awful.

Anyone have a Guide to get modern games like BF6 to run well?

The only resolution that works seems to be 1600x1200 at 100hz but other games do higher just fine. I cant seem to get it to not stutter even with a 5080 and 13900k

Im one week post surgery

Had my first and only gallbladder attack from a 2.3 -2.5 cm stone blocking a duct. I woke up at 5 am with an ache in my back and decided to go to the couch for a bit thinking it was just a bad sleeping position that lead to the ache in my back. I waited about 2 hours and it only got worse. When waking up to pain id say I was in the ballpark of a 5 on the pain scale, two hours later it crept up to a 7 so I asked the wife to drive me to the ER right across the street.

Upon getting to the ER they did an EKG, Xray and Ultrasound. The ultra sound revealed the 2.3ish cm stone in gallbladder so I was given 4mg of morphine which worked just enough for me to stand up, walk to the bathroom and take a leak. While washing my hands i started to feel the pain increase and it continued to increase on the way back to the Room.

Sitting back down on the bed in the room the pain had reached a scale I didn't think was possible. It hurt so bad I started cramp in the abdomen making hard to breathe because I was stuck at the top of my breath gasping for air. The worst part is that I was obviously in distress and they refused to give me anything for like 10 minutes because they didnt know if extra dose would interfere with future treatment that day. They finally got around to giving me some dilaudid which kicked the pain.

Stayed in the hospital over night because it was the 4th of July and said it would be better to do surgery the following day due to staff being off but would have people around to give pain meds if needed. Coolest doctor and coolest experience being knocked out. Stone was removed and now I'm great and glad I won't have to do that again. Definitely the worst pain I've ever felt. 0/10 experience i do not recommend.

Edit: they removed the whole gallbladder not just a stone.

Getting BF6 to run smooth on Dell P1130?

Squad, BF4 and other FPS games are just buttery smooth at 1792x1344 100hz. BF6 I guess is notorious for fram pacing issues so one seconds its great and the next its full of microstutters.

System specs

Anyoje having performance issues since last NVIDIA driver update?

I know this game with UE5 is notorious for performance issues, and everything I say here is going to make some offer to play the worlds smallest violin, but I want to put my specs and what I've noticed since the issue began.

I9-13900K

32 GB DDR5

970 EVO m.2

ASUS 5080 TUF OC

Current utilization is

5080 98%, CPU 8%, temps for both are great.

Before the update about 3 weeks ago when I played i was running this in 4k natively at 130 fps. Post update even playing vanilla with no DLSS as before with identical settings im only getting 80. Again I know it sounds like im saying im suffering, but a 30-50 fps drop is terrible. Most of my other games run maxed out 120+ fps without frame gen or DLSS, and i hoping its just squad and not my system.

Edit: wrote UE6 meant UE5. I felt my GPU shed a tear

A simple multiplayer would kill Warthunder

Not in a PvP online Matchmaker but being able to 5v5 with friends in private matches would basically make this the only tank game id play.

​

I know Co-op is the last thing on the road map, but custom missions with friends in a pvp game mode would hit harder than Ray Rice in an elevator

Need service for elderly and disabled family

My Grandmother (86), Father (quadrepelgic) and Uncle (mentally disabled) live together and desperately need a better internet connection to be able to make calls, and schedule doctor's appointments. They currently have Century link and it maybe works half the time and when it does they get about 2 mbps down and not even 1 up.

​

Their Neighbors on either side both have Xfinity but they cannot because the house is situated too far back from the road by about 100 ft. I called to have someone come out and price it and they said it would be 3-6 thousand dollars to get it set up. Is there any way to have this set up maybe with a contract to include it in the monthly bill? The really need a connection and star link wouldn't work with them because they're too old to understand it. Not looking for a handout just need someone to work with me to not make it a huge up front cost.

Cost per square foot to build?

My wife and I have lived here our whole life, we're 30 and our parents have been here since the late 60s and I really want to own my first home here. Obviously the price to buy basically anything decent is $550k and up and I'd rather not have that size of a mortgage. We make decent (150k ish per year) and im going to buy a couple acres soon. What is the realistic price per square foot to build here as of June 2026? I looked at a post from a year ago saying that tariffs made everything shoot up, so its kind of unclear. It wouldn't be the fanciest stuff just at entry level or just barely above is all around 1700 sqft.
