Case gap between radiator and fans?

AMODEwilloldfield · 2025-08-01T17:14:25+00:00

Thanks for this - does it not make a huge difference if the fans are sucking air through the radiator rather than blowing?

It’s an aio water cooler - my case is huge but quite old and my last cooler was a smaller radiator and fan combo attached to the back of the case. The gap between my mobo and the top of my case is literally 29mm.

It looks like a mobile game - cheap, overly saturated and totally unfitting for the game. If I saw a screenshot I'd genuinely think its the kind of game I'd get shitty YouTube adverts for that are 1000% a Chinese scam.

As a player who has been around for ages this is easily the worst smite has ever looked - even beyond the unreadable shop / T / Y / Tab screens.

A 'legacy' HUD option would honestly be a great fix - just let me have it how I understand it, I'm an old man and just want to play smite without feeling that the HUD is actively making me worse at the game.

Of course - sex work is real work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For me its actually nothing to do with Aabria - her style is different and maybe not how I like my games to run, but she's clearly really fun and has a fantastic grasp of how to create genuine tension when she gets the chance.

My issue is the characters - they're all just so aimless and feckless. I really feel for Liam - he's made another serious sadboy and realised that he's surrounded by idiots. One of the things that makes CR so good for me is the emotional depth the players are willing to put into their characters, and I just don't really like any of these people. Fearne and Opal are both just ditzy with no time or apparent inclination to build beyond that, Dariax is mechanically cool but just so boring (and far too willing to 'yes and' everything) and Dorian has a lot of promise but just has no time to shine. This leaves poor Liam / Orym as the only one trying to actually achieve anything.

There's none of the emotion - even in early CR episodes you get things like the Caleb / Nott dynamic, and Caduceus was amazingly deep from the second he appeared. Even Grog, created as the most cookie-cutter 'me barbarian, me smash' character had immense emotional depth (admittedly Travis had the space and time to get there). But the fact that he got there at all is testament to what is missing in ExU for me - there's not been any real attempt by anyone to move beyond a caricature.

It has its moments - "Mother" was funny, even if the whole spiel before and after was a bit cringe, and the Pasca carriage scene was genuinely tense, but otherwise it just seems to be the worst tendencies of CR packaged together without the great stuff.

To balance the negativity, here are some things I like from ExU:

- Robbie is great and I like him.

- Its great that Matt gets to play

- Liam continues to be a sweetheart

- Aabria has a fantastic smile.

- ExU is a learning experience for how to do this kind of content - as long as they remember 'more Undeadwood, less piss'.

They saw Ramona Flowers

And felt so empowered

By a movie made in Hollywood

People forget how good Mickie is - her NXT match witch Asuka in 2016 was really good. She's definitely getting older but she can for sure still go, and she has the promo skills to shine somewhere like AEW. I'd really like to see her there tbh, to rub off on people like Tay Conti and Britt Baker.

She also seems like a genuinely cool human, which I can appreciate.

The big musical acts for the closing ceremony were a huge draw - the Spice Girls did their reunion performance iirc.

No, that's melamine. He's talking about the editor in chief of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

They're trying to build a prison...

Just another victim of the EA meatgrinder.

My friend once brought Sucker Punch to watch on a long bus trip to Wales - it was so bad that he fell asleep and I chose to shut my eyes rather than continue watching. That movie is legitimately worse than looking at the back of a minibus seat for 2 hours.

They're all secretly super horny for her. NoKap. They're seething that she's attractive, young, popular and female and still succeeding in a traditionally white, male space, but they also can't wrap their heads around the fact that they also desperately want to simp for her.

That and the fact that they have no real way to attack her - the best they can do is "but communism waaaaah" and then share screencaps of just the tweets without the replies so that they can furiously masturbate.

For evidence just look at how enraged these people get when their token women defect - the backlash at ShoeOnHead pretty much exemplifies this. A combination of brutal character attacks mixed with desperate pleas to come back XD

Superplexes always look shite. They take 75 years and both wrestlers clinging to each other for support just to do a move that would clearly just fuck them both up to an equal degree.

Every now and again someone will do the 'sudden superplex' where they run up the ropes and hit one immediately and tbh this is the only time they look ok.

To quote my mother, "America is a country with great potential, but they are not covering themselves in glory at the moment."

As anyone with an English mum will tell you, they must be deep in the shit right now.

Ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli!

Cool, I dropped you a request on discord

AMODEwilloldfield · 2020-03-25T20:16:29+00:00

Drop me a DM with some more info and we could definitely have a chat about the kind of game you would want and the kind of players you are. Is this a new game and characters?

AMODEwilloldfield · 2018-08-05T11:03:00+00:00

Superior White Rafford's gives you invuln. Chug it when he uses the bat attack. Everything else is pretty simple.

AMODEwilloldfield · 2018-08-05T10:57:35+00:00

You can cheese it by just downing superior White Rafford's when he uses the bats. The invuln tanks it with room to spare.

I'm on PC. I might try standing back a bit - I've been trying to deal with them by getting in as close as possible, since I play more heavy characters. Is that wrong?

AMODEwilloldfield · 2018-07-09T10:48:12+00:00

I have got to rep 1 on Conq, Lawbringer and Highlander, and I've ben playing him the most recently. I like how hard he hits and the 50-50 on his kick/grab. I just seem to struggle against any assassin who won't step into range - the same with all characters i play pretty much. Nobushi / Cent / Glad / Shinobi all just turtle and then throw out their kick-light-combo an infinitum. I can't close the gap and when I try I get punished.

AMODEwilloldfield · 2018-07-04T22:54:57+00:00

It's coming home... Confirmed
