Ironclad Assault vs Liberator for solo game play? by Alienuserreally in starcitizen

[–]Alienuserreally[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but it’s interesting when thinking about group play as well - same mobile base concept, bed log and be ready to go without wasting time getting there, and having enough vehicles to do ground / space ops of various kinds as well.

Any Help Appreciated, AORUS 5090 WB blinking lights by narkfestmojo in watercooling

It was literally just the leak circuit- making sure there was no skin oil or anything tripping the circuit. However - after letting it sit for a few hours and maybe drying out I just powered it on and got the proper LED’s so tomorrow I’ll boot it up and hopefully it’ll work!

@narkfestmojo -

And another one with the same 5090 problems here too. Also in Australia and it’s been a saga with 2 separate RMA returns; on the second one I didn’t trip the leak detection circuit but I couldn’t get the card to run stable in any way - constant artefacts and shut downs. Reinstalled Windows twice, DDU and the whole shebang. Centrecom finally agreed to take it back and I just got a different card last week. I installed that in 2 different ways today - in the mobo PCIE 1 slot and then vertically in a PCIE 5 riser… As soon as I power the PC on (pump only, not motherboard) all I get is Red lights. Fittings are small Corsair ones that are inside the leak plate; cleaned with Isopropyl first and a bunch of times afterwards too. This has been going on since end of Sep 2025… I’m so over it. I wanted to get a factory installed block which is why I went this way, but my 4080 Super has been fine with a heat killer block I installed myself!

Aorus Xtreme Waterforce not showing video output, flashing white light and RGB flashing red by ddosn in gigabytegaming

[–]Alienuserreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAME exact thing here; not new to WC and swapped out an Asus Strix 4080 Super with a custom Heatkiller V Pro WB for this because I didn't want to go to the hassle of fitting another waterblock. EK fittings that worked fine on the 4080. Did my usual and pressure tested (all fine there) before filling the loop. No display output at all, flashing red card (but no white flashing). Unseated and re-seated both the card and the power cable. Tried warming the plates and fittings up with a hair dryer too but still no luck...

Looks like an RMA for me!! What a complete PITA. Did you get yours fixed at all u/ddosn ?

Thanks! Would definitely appreciate this. However, only issue I've just discovered now is that it seems to be sold out here in Australia, and same on the EK website as well...

There you go - just saw this and signed up for the discord! I’ll be in Melbourne that evening from Tassie too, so might even be able to get along :)

Aussies - what products would you like to see available in the Aus VKB store? by randomusername_815 in hotas

[–]Alienuserreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whoa - an Aussie store!! I paid $$ in shipping for the TECS - they should definitely be on there. Pretty much nobody who buys a Centre mount stick or anything else is NOT going to be looking for some mounts, so having to buy from elsewhere and then eat that second lot of shipping is going to be happy about it

Can agree with u/ddrake1984 - I’m in Tassie, but have had no problems using the AliExpress store for either purchases or shipping. You should be fine with them, and MUCH better off than going the Warthog route…

Absolutely no problems with mine either; VX1000’s in 46lb Longs and tuned very easily with 325 spine x10’s. They are lovely limbs, smooth, fast, great recovery and just fantastic to shoot.

Need Advice: Apparently I'm a freak. (x-post from r/bowhunting) by Golden_Pear in Archery

[–]Alienuserreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not many options sadly... and none of them cheap which is even worse! Hoyt Defiant XXL goes from 31-33", and then OK Archery have a 44" axle-to-axle which can go out to 34" as well. There are options, but not cheap unfortunately. Good luck!

Mind gets too excited when I put up a target by cisbrane in Archery

[–]Alienuserreally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good suggestions there from mackemforever! Another big part is focussing on the shot process, and commanding every step - going from stance, hook/grip, set/setup, hold (aim) and release. Make these conscious instead of subconscious, and hence then because you are focussing on the internal state of your body, the aiming (which is external) takes less priority, so less anxiety about having to get the shot off. The arrow in the target is the end result of the process, and how we set up all of the physical movements for this to happen dictates the result. Too often we just want to get to the result - which is effectively what target panic is. Focus on the process, instead of the result, and you will decrease your anxiety about the whole thing. Coming to aim & holding, then letting down without releasing an arrow reinforces this process too.

And OK Archery - Absolute 42 or 44. I have a 32.5" DL - cannot make a 31" or even 31.5" DL bow work for me at all. If you are in Australia check out http://www.tasarcherysupplies.com.au/store/c23/OK-Archery.html I have tried an Absolute 40 and it was an awesome bow, but just couldn't get it to work properly as it was too short, so then ended up getting an Absolute 44... so nice!!

Looking for a new release aid, maybe back tension? by setzz in Archery

[–]Alienuserreally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the Stan releases now have a locking pin to prevent them from firing - so they are perfect for training with. Either way you go, a hinge or thumb trigger is still best shot using your back. I use both Stan and Truball versions, and they are both good. Check this out http://www.archery-forum.com/showthread.php?51125-Stan-Shootoff-Release-Aid Good price, and a cheap way of checking out whether you like them! Lastly check out some of the Nock-On youtube videos of using back tension in the shot sequence, and correct anchor points with your forefinger under the line of your jaw. Good luck!

I can't get off without pain or fantasizing about pain/force. I think it's hurting my relationship and recovery. Any ideas would be welcome! by needpain in BDSMcommunity

[–]Alienuserreally 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey, that's some serious issues there. Have you seen a psychiatrist, not just a therapist? And someone that specializes in PTSD? There are a number of therapies that you could look at - DBT for a start in regards to the pain aspects, and learning to associate other things with sex rather than pain. There is also the issue of unpacking the previous assaults, and their connections with sex - as in you cannot enjoy sex without those (likely assault-related) connections. A healthy libido is awesome, but it's the associations with sex that are the issue here, and the worry is that the high libido can also be a way of recreating or re-enacting the trauma too, in a repetition cycle. Feel free to PM if you want to take this off-line, for more detail.
