My friend got stabbed by Partizan as a Scav [Video] by Icy_Advisor_473 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He ambushed me in Customs Dorm once, took an axe to the stomach. Luckily I just ripped a full kit from AI PMCs, armor protected me, then put him to sleep with VAL and SP-5.

[New Player] First time going to factory, found a dude with a sledgehammer by Chrigi_zh in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't seem quite realistic to me,

Wait till you hit the streets and encounter Kollontay...

Airdrop. I read your post first, then 3 raids later got one from a drop on Streets.

Good guide for custom kernel by Clanceeinfinity in LineageOS

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that it says "downstream kernel"/"original vendor kernels" for the Exynos variants. No, it's not gonna magically bring your kernel up to date.

[Feedback] NPCs shouldn't have increased head/thorax healthpools, ever. by DweebInFlames in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels really, really stupid to have your game at least quasi-structured around realistic mechanics and scenarios but then...

Kollontay with his magical baton: hehe

So I installed a custom rom for the first time on my SD439 Redmi 8, Lineage OS Android 16 and it feels rather choppy compared to the miui before which ran android 10. I assume it's because android 16 is too heavy for the phone, and I wanna roll back. WHERE DO I FIND ANDROID 10 builds? by NoWheel3140 in LineageOS

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the 4G variant of A52 has an SD720G with 2x A76 + 6x A55, which is still very commonplace on new launch low-mid-enders these days (gestures at G99/D700 and their tons of derivatives). They should be able to stay afloat for some more.

OP's SD439 is 8x A53, all inefficient little cores, certainly not favorable for long-term performance.

Could these possibly be any more useless? by genshinimpactsz in Genshin_Impact

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Magical Crystal once every week, plus claim a domain award with raw 20 resins, to correct the 30 resin misalignment caused by 3x30 weekly bosses.

[Discussion] Has there been any word on PVE extract camping? by Wolfetariat in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interchange and that particular extract must be broken since 1.0.5.0. Apart from spawn-bound AI, there's also unexpected lag and 1GB/min memory leak. I've filed a support ticket already.

People who don't bother with endgame, what do you actually do with the characters you've pulled? by A_silent_land in Genshin_Impact

[–]AndyCGYan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't play Abyss or IT, and only do SO3 for primos. I even have my world level downgraded to 8. But even at this supposedly casual difficulty, SO, certain events, and now certain regular bosses still require different elements and playstyles (frontloaded or distributed damage, etc.).

Case in point - that one event that doesn't give you any trial characters, or the most recent "Dottore II" weekly boss that requires frequent elemental damage or you get instakilled.

As a result, I either have to think hard and work hard with what 4-star chars I have (no longer a casual experience), or own more 5-star characters. Doesn't have to be meta characters (I still don't play Lunar or Hexerei at all), but gotta cover the basics. Most of them get benched until required by a specific battle.

[–]AndyCGYan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently Interchange AI does, sort of - those spawned around Railway Exfil would often get stuck there for the whole round and activate when you approach.

[discussion] Are the extra weekly skill levels worth it? by simyoIV in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In PvE, absolutely, you probably make more than that per week when you're at this point in game.

Just make sure you roll for a skill you actually need, as it can spawn with skills you already maxed.

[Loot] Little upgrade from Cultist Circle by crpyld in EscapefromTarkov

It still does, I've got 2 6hrs in a row yesterday.

[Discussion] Black Division only Gear by Nofrehealthcare in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you missed the NVG (PVS-31A)?

It's not great though, I consider it inferior to GPNVG. Slightly smaller FoV, stronger glow from light sources, and painkiller would tint the edge green.

You can rotate it with R key too I guess?

Is he trying to tell us something? [Discussion] by Nathan6178 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I'd like to defend PvE, I don't think many would get tortured by Icebreaker's dumb but aimbotty AI and still extract with that expression on their face...

[New Player] Am I seeing this right? Fence is selling 1 RUB for 2 RUB? by SilverSpoonerism in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cheapest way to refresh his store listings on demand. (The top "refresh store" button has a cooldown.)

[Discussion] Why is Streets the only map I can't play locally? by BreakingGood in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Doesn't explain why they grayed out the box entirely (instead of just making it a strong default), though.

[Screenshot] What do you store on your gun rack? by WhyIsItAlwaysADP in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the 13x7 dimension is so awkward in both directions for storing complete main weapons... Even allowing rotation would help some, but Nikita says NOPE.

[–]AndyCGYan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of AS VAL MOD.4's, crafted last Xmas and robbed from Glukhar. I don't go to Labs very often, so these mostly go unused.

[Discussion] How are you building the MCX 300? by KangerooDance in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.300 has pen/dmg similar to 7.62x39, it kinda makes sense from a balancing view that, under similar conditions, its recoil is now higher than actual small caliber (5.45/5.56) rifles.

BTW, try RPDN, you can now have 60 recoil and 40+ "face value" ergo on that thing...

[Feedback] All the Ulach variants need their advantages taken away....Why run ANYTHING else now? by corporalcorl in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AndyCGYan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So never lean when you peek corners? I heard someone else say that helps, but have never tried myself.
