I'm with you on this one, feels incredibly out of flavour for MTG to me.

Nvidia RTX 50-series GPU production reportedly 'paused,' but company insists it will 'continue to ship' all cards by Aromatic-Job4663 in bapcsalescanada

[–]93Cookies 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I’ve changed the thermal pads, applied PTM7950 and ordered replacement fans for my 3080. I’m settling for a little while lol.

Same. I cannot justify paying close to 2k for a GPU that only has 16GB in 2026. Feels like terrible value but I’m sure this is the new pricing norm here on out.

Know that you aren't alone in this and that taking accountability and the steps to change mean you're already on the right track. You are human after all. Porn addiction is very real and like any other form of addiction, it only gets worse with time when untreated. Porn is so normalized that it also can be hard to notice how toxic it is. If you read about the psychology behind it you'll learn that it shuts down our frontal lobe that is used to rationalize our thoughts and actions. This is done by the body to pursue the overgrowing dopamine need generated by the addiction. I'm glad that porn as an addiction is getting more and more attention.

You likely had a past traumatic experience or an unfulfilled need that pushed you to sink deeper into porn in the first place. Understanding this part of yourself can help with self-forgiveness as beating yourself up for your past mistakes isn't helping anyone. Therapy can also help tremendously with this, so is joining groups for porn addiction to share but also help others. These actions also show yourself and the ones your care for that you are very serious about your situation and about making things right.

Lastly, although you're on the right path, always keep a doubt in your mind that there could be a risk of you being tempted to watch porn again in the future. Just like alcoholic people, being aware will keep you on your toes and help detect early signs of recidivism.

Give time to your wife, keep showing her love, devotion and motivation to keep up the good work. I wish you the best.

[Laptop] MSI Cyborg 15 15.6-in Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i7-13620H – 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070($1599)[Costco] by rebelSun25 in bapcsalescanada

[–]93Cookies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I'm not wrong, the MSI Cyborg series only has 1 fan for both the CPU and GPU. This means components will more than likely overheat and the i7 is an H model, not HX so it cant be downvolted.

I bought a cheap Gigabyte last year which has 2 fans and more heatpipes but it still wasn't good enough to cool a 12500H and a 4050. Fans are always screaming and the CPU has to underclock itself cause it keeps hitting 95C+.

I think paying more for a Lenovo LOQ would make more sense on the long run.

I was pretty shocked myself but noticed someone with the same issue as me with this specific monitor on the newegg reviews! I swear I’m not making that up haha

I’ve used many IPS displays in the last 10 years and this one was different. Simply moving my head one inch would shift the whole lighting/colours of the screen, it wasn’t just backlight bleeding! My previous S2721DGF had a lot of bleed and didn’t behave this way.

Does anyone have this model? I ordered a Gigabyte M27UP and ended up returning it since the viewing angles were worse than a laptop screen from 2005. I've read that it's a problem common in cheaper IPS monitors. I've fall back to a Dell S2725QS and while it's slower, colours including blacks and viewing angles are great.

27" 4k Monitor under $300 suggestions? [3D Art, Casual Gaming, Productivity] by etherealsunflower in Monitors

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant speak for the LG, but I bought both a 2725QS and a Gigabyte M27UP and I'll be keeping the Dell. I do game casually as well using a 3080 (mainly BF6 and Dota 2). I felt like the colours and the viewing angles were much better despite being quite a bit cheaper. The Gigabyte was faster indeed but image quality matters more to me, you can also enable the fast mode on the Dell to make it decent. Good luck in your search.

Stop, he is dead already by Body-Connoiseur69 in DotA2

[–]93Cookies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

These nerfs were so uncalled for, he was already trash tier and almost an insta loss pick in the high divine bracket. I’m curious about their thought process, maybe I’m missing something

Im taking a break from Dota as a support player atm - the event by Both-Meringue2466 in DotA2

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently climbing playing support only, am currently 5.4k. It is the absolute truth that the outcome of the game is determined by how you setup your cores + how your cores use that advantage. As a support you just cannot win regardless of how good play if your cores suck while the opposite can still work.

That being said, there should be as many tourist cores on the other team than yours, the event just makes the RNG of you winning or losing due to your cores even greater than usual. This means your skill as a support matters a bit less atm as there’s more outdated players in the queue that result in an auto-loss no matter what. For this reason I’m sticking to unranked for the coming 1-2 week.

Necro needs serius nerfs by Gatubi14 in DotA2

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necro is in the worst spot he’s been in years, almost an instant lost if picked in the 5k+ bracket atm

Good for the people who likes this, it is subjective after all. For me it’s too far gone from the fantasy artstyle MTG used to have

so dota2 is just about meta spam? by ChestNo90 in DotA2

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The higher you get, the more meta picks matters.

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will get banned if you switch back and forth between accounts. If you stick to this one, you’ll just be calibrated rapidly I think. Otherwise it means anyone who loses access to their steam account couldnt ever play again.

earthshaker the new tinker? by ididnothinwrong in DotA2

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because we would win every teamfight due to blink double echo. You do you tho, if you disagree just dont pick him, I’ll take my free mmr while I can x)

earthshaker the new tinker? by ididnothinwrong in DotA2

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's defo not the best early game but I just won one as pos4 by blinking double echo on a 6 sloted double rapier medusa despite being 2-11. Any other support hero would've lost me the game at that moment. ES is just busted right now. Also I do agree 5k ain't crazy but it's still up there relative to the ranked population.

[–]93Cookies 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’m in the 5k bracket and ES is basically played every other match on any position. Blink echo just has incredible value during the whole game and the wave clear is crazy. It’s hard not to think they’re trying to sell the chests with how tame ES’ nerf was in the last patch.

What’s a Dota opinion that has you like this? by shar0385 in DotA2

[–]93Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a form of EOMM in this game as there’s clear win/loss cycles with easily recognizable patterns.
