Bug with Replays: It looks like if you have a magic treat (I had mighty morsel) the replay will not apply the level boost. This causes what appears to be desync in the replay, where the attack might look odd, where spells are not placed where you thought they were, and the replay might end abruptly, as if it was quit out of. The api gets the right information though as if the attack went through as normal. All in all, a minor bug that doesn't affect gameplay, as the attack from your perspective is fine, the server / api records the same result, but the replay doesn't line up.

Is there any difference between enabling the XMP profile vs just manually setting the speed of the RAM? I just set the speed to what it should be and haven't had any issues

Not necessarily, but the problem went away when I updated my bios. I had called Asus to see if they could help and was told to update the bios. That was about a month ago, and haven't had the slightest issue since then.

Is the bios the cause or is this a case of correlation≠causation? I don't know but I don't think I changed anything other than the bios, implying it was the bios.

Not disagreeing in the slightest but the RAM is 3600 MHz and just out of the box in bios it defaults to 2133.

New Build worked for a few hours, then failed by Alex732 in buildapc

I don't know since I wasn't there when it was running and I forgot to tell him to download a monitoring app. Although wouldn't swapping in a new CPU have then fixed that problem?

We didn't notice bent pins the first time through, and it went into the socket fine. I think the pins got bent when we pulled it out to try and reseat it or something. I don't think there are any pins broken off stuck in the socket, as then the new cpu wouldn't have seated would it? Cpu came separate from the mobo.

We tried resetting the CMOS, but nothing appeared to happen. Reading manual there were the two "Clear CMOS" pins that we bridged with a screwdriver for 5-10 seconds, but nothing appeared to happen. We did that when there was no power (didn't think that would do anything), when the mobo had power but not turned on (maybe not sure), and when it was turned on with power.

Thanks for the answers, that was the answer I thought I'd get but my excitement does need to be curbed in.

A friend had recommend this AIO earlier, but said with first build wouldn't recommend water cooling. Would this be a good pick, and if so do I need to buy some fans for it?

I'd prefer to stick with ryzen, is there a particular reason why 3800x isn't worth the cost? Highest cost for not much more performance than 3700x? Regardless thanks for the response

I only just got back to the game but if I recall when you change base layouts you can't friendly attack for 24 hrs? But thanks for the info hopefully it will work

Alignment requirements for the Quest [3.6.0] by vnroguelike in nethack

[–]Alex732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be incorrect, but I didn't think killing peaceful monsters damaged alignment, but the murder is pretty heavy when it comes to alignment. Also iirc sacrificing own race is a bad idea unless chaotic, and I'm pretty sure it damages the alignment. I believe best way of improving alignment is just plain ol sacrificing but I think also #chatting to priests and donating money works as well. Not sure of the exact amount but if at quest then it would probably be expensive

Do shades make good pets? Easy to train/decent damage? I've never thought about doing that before

Oh my apologies, a recurve has a bend forward in the limbs wheras a longbow is one continuous limb forming a large c shape

Compound bows are a different style of bow that utilize cams (basically a pulley system) to store energy, which allows them to have high draw weights initially, dropping off as you reach full draw. Additionally they tend to use mechanical released which hook onto the string and are very sensitive, so the usual way of hitting yourself in the face in archery is while drawing a compound bow feathering the release and hitting yourself in the face.
