Seems like the planning for this was the same planning they put into making the words fit on the sign.

I paid to get mine expedited because my then GF was getting a job in the airline business. Then we broke up a week after it arrived.

Didn't know about this, I may submit some tracks.

I feel like internal hazing probably has something to do with it too, since they mentioned it was his first week back after 6 weeks off. If he's getting to the end of the week with no arrests, and the chief is on his back about making the non-existent quota, I could see why he'd be ready to jump at any opportunity.

I've been following this case mainly because it could happen to me and, similarly, I didn't even have to do anything wrong.

Tell me of these PSO private servers you speak of.

Are you a purist that says ketchup doesn't belong on hot dogs too?

This was pretty much a press release for the game.

MahLazer?

I have lived down the street from this place for over a decade and had no idea there was a history in their name. On top of that it is mediocre, overpriced, Tex-mex.

Honestly, I'm flummoxed.

To answer your original question: you can mainly tell by doing benchmarks and watching your CPU/GPU usage. If your CPU is maxed the whole time but your GPU is chilling at 50-60% usage while you're getting below 60 FPS, you likely have a CPU bottleneck. There are a number of free benchmarks out there, and several "AAA" games will typically have one too (Forza, Returnal, and many others) so you can tune your system.

So buying a 4080Ti without the supporting parts it needs will limit how much performance you can get out of it. Nowadays RAM typically is not the bottleneck.

I had a Ryzen 7 1700 with a 2070 non-super until earlier this year with next to no problems. The only reason I went to a 7800x3d was because it was bottlenecking the software I used to make music.
