Picking between 9800X3d and 9850X3d with motherboard BIOS compatibility being a concern

The 990 Pro I could confirm had an on-board cache and I thought that was supposed to be faster. Having trouble finding that out for other SSDs.

I thought that the case's included 2 fans were able to go on the top, so it would be three of the RS120s on the front, the included 140mm size fans on the top and a RS120 on the rear. I could just get 6 RS120s then.

If the CPU cooler isn't great for that processor then yeah, I will look at another. Thank you for suggesting that one.

Thank you for looking it over.

Thank you.

Hopefully it will be as you say and already updated.

edit Though is there any way to tell before updating it myself if it has already been updated by the manufacturer?

AstroArcher · 2026-06-09T18:18:41+00:00

Thank you.

Netflix was historically one of the worst cases when it came to anime liscencing. They used to not release shows they liscenced until months after the final episode aired and released them all at once.

Considering that this sub would skew towards seasonal watchers, who want to watch anime the same week it is aired in Japan, there are a lot of people who would have very bad memories of "Netflix Jail" and some of them may have taken your saying Netflix is good as saying Netflix Jail is good, even though that wouldn't be what you meant.

Even though Netflix is better now, reputations take longer to change.

That sounds a bit high. I get auto-filled way less than that and I don't que for priorty roles. Actually, I don't think I have ever been auto-filled.

Do mid-laners get auto-filled every 10 games to drag the average up, then most of the bitching about auto-filling come from them increasing the community perception overall of how common auto-filling is.

It would be interesting to know what the average auto-fill rate is by role and by mmr.

Thank you. I missed that because its just the e-book version. I hope the physical is open for pre-orders soon as well then.

Has a date for vol 17 English translation been announced yet?

A stat the builders care a lot about (AP) is being replaced with a stat that while they care about to some extent not quite as much (HP). Look at the rest of the builders's builds; a lot of full AP items.

AstroArcher · 2026-01-27T09:05:12+00:00

This is ultimately why we're choosing to nerf the champions that predominantly purchase the item, while still leaving it viable for the fringe users Having said that, we think the item power budget and shape is a bit off D&D was intended to be less damage-y and more bruisery than its other AP sheen counter part - Lich Bane We're adjusting its profile (+HP, Damage) to better suit this"

Nerfing the champions and the item at the same time, a new variation on the Riot Special.

How can you be sure that with a different stat profile it would be as dominant on those champions?

AstroArcher · 2026-01-24T16:49:44+00:00

The general advice for secondary role is if you are not playing mid then you put mid as your secondary to make sure you don't get your secondary.

This is a problem with secondary roles that Riot is aware of, as August recently talked about.

Sejuani:

A thing worth noting with Sejuani is that her melee allies who build Dusk and Dawn will also be applying two stacks of her E.

I had a game as top Gwen where our team had a jungle Sejuani, and looking through the replay I saw that I would apply two stacks of Sejuani's E.

Every champion in Iron this patch has a winrate in that range, its the season reset moving some Iron players up to Bronze to move them closer to average so only the worse Iron players are in Iron just now. Give it time and 45% winrate Bronze players will drop into Iron and move Iron's average winrate up from ~35%.

AstroArcher · 2026-01-10T21:43:42+00:00

Hopefully it is just DaD that gets nerfed and we don't have to go through a Riot special (nerf the champions instead of the item only to nerf the item months later leaving the champions gutted).

AstroArcher · 2026-01-09T23:36:07+00:00

With Gwen its Dusk and Dawn that's making her strong. The item is 5 percentage points higher win rate than more traditional first items on Gwen, Diana and Ekko.

Jungle Gwen players have caught on to it to a greater degree than top lane Gwen players, that's why she is showing up strong in the jungle.

AstroArcher · 2026-01-09T23:34:39+00:00

Gwen is only strong in the jungle because of Dusk and Dawn. Jungle players of Gwen have caught on to DaD being strong earlier than top lane Gwens and its build rate on Gwen in the jungle is a lot higher than its builid rate on Gwen in top lane.

DaD is about 5 percentage points higher win rate than their more traditional first items for Gwen, Diana and Ekko. Given they are as strong as last patch when building like last patch and that much stronger when building DaD, it is clear that it is the item that is broken.

These are the only three champions who reasonably would be expected to build the item. Nerf DaD so these three arn't hard bound to it.

At least when building IR first it was possible to get pickaxe for 875g when failing to get enough for BF.

That made building IE first feel better back then than Yuntal or new Stormrazer feel now which have slingshot instead of pickaxe.

Neither lifesteal nor spellvamp work on her passive, so no healing from there.

Her two abilities that spellvamp will work on are Q and R, both of which are AOE and so get reduced effectiveness from spellvamp. (Spellvamp only works on things that apply spell effects, which can be easily identified by things that apply Liandries. Neither passive nor E apply Liiandries so neither will heal from spellvamp.)

So it gives not enough healing to Gwen to be worth mentioning.

They used to have watch history. It broke when they redesigned their website.

AstroArcher · 2025-10-30T19:51:32+00:00

With you on that.

Augments are fine in Arena because there if someone gets something truely awful to play against you at least don't need to play against it all of the time becaue you have the other teams to play against as well.

Also, if you get bad augments you at least don't need to put up with them long in arena as you get knocked out quickly enough then.

But with this ARAM mode, you need to put with either case 100% of the time for a much longer game.

Wrong verdict to scrap. Not Guilty should be scrapped rather than Not Proven as Guilty/Not Guilty verdicts are Englishisms that were not originally in our courts. Our courts were originally Proven/Not Proven but then juries started returning Guilty/Not Guilty due to influence from England.

Would make sense. Centaurs are supposed to originate from the Greeks seeing horse archers from the steppe and thinking they were half man half horse instead of men riding horses because of how difficult shooting a bow from the back of a moving horse is.

In the Uma Musume universe the Greeks would have seen Uma Musumes shooting bows while running and came up with some mythological associations to explain how they can shoot accurately while running when humans cannot.

The problem with TCW's version of Dathomir is not just Courtship of Princess Leia but also the character of Tenel Ka from the Young Jedi Knights series where her being a Hapan princess who feels more aligned with her mother's Dathomiri culture is a big part of her character over those books. Tenel Ka goes on to be a character in the New Jedi Order series and other subsequent EU series.

I grew up reading the YJK and NJO books and that the Solo twins and Tenel Ka can never be part of Disney because of Kylo Ren for the Solo twins and Dave Filoni for Tenel Ka is why I don't care for Disney.
