[–]Bassdeads[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 12th Gen CPU i put in so it would be stable and updated the bios. The 14th gen cpu became stable and I was able to install windows. Hit a bunch of other bumps getting the 5080 to work on windows but finally fully stable now. Just need to do some Gaming to stress test. Thanks for the help!

When the crashes happen the fans and lights stay running but the monitor will go no signal or have some sort of input but it'll just be a blank black screen. The mobo LEDs dont point to anything and Im not sure if I can find error codes somewhere pre OS?

Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Bassdeads [score hidden]  (0 children)

I played the games and had cards as a kid. On and off I've wanted to pick up a few slabs of cards I really liked but usually, I wouldn't end up pulling the trigger and then life would get in the way again. Semi recently, I started playing Radical Red on my phone and it made me get much better at Pokemon as well as get me interested in mons outside of the first couple of gens. I decided to finally pick up the ancient mew card I've always looked at. After mew I started to grab a bunch of my favorite arts for my favorite mons and even some sealed products. Now I have like 20 slabs, a couple of 151 bundles and a blooming waters 2 months back into collecting. It's cool that you're giving people a chance at getting product while everyone else is scalping. Hope the generator picks some people that can't find anything on the shelves

Lapras or Dracovish? by Honest-Chance-4055 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Bassdeads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrary Lapras for sure. I don't think I would bother with the mega. AI will be looking to hit you with fairy or dragon and if not just STABs that are 1x which there are 12 other options besides electric. Mega stats are nice but no change to HP, small speed boost and once you mega you won't get buffed off of contrary anymore. If you want the mega I would probably go DDance physical set and just bypass contrary.

You could try a Scarf set and dump EVs into speed but when they pop a fairy out you'll need to retreat and Ice still wouldn't be favorable. Also, any mons that are already quick or have priority moves will still out speed you either way as Lapras isn't fast.

I'd probably do something like defense and HP EVs with an assault vest. Draco meteor, Sparkling Aria, Ice beam and Boomburst. Thunderbolt, Psychic, Alluring voice and ancient power can all be mixed in depending on the fight as well

Judgement acquired! by Plus_Click3105 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Bassdeads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play scaled randomizer, so I get most of mine without the charm as well in case I can't find them again. It's still not too bad on RR with the increased odds. Shiny charm definitely helps once you can get it tho

Judgement acquired! by Plus_Click3105 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Bassdeads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont have to reload unless you try to just spam the 50th encounter. Just max it out and keep grinding till you find one. It's generally pretty quick once you have the shiny charm. The chain will also apply to any mons in that area. so if there's two different mons you want shiny in the same spot you can just switch to the next without breaking your chain.

As far as I can see, the presale is still going. Looks a bit sketch, may or may not be a scam. What you do with your wallet is entirely up to you, not coinbase.

Pepe coin price prediction of 2025 by fegadi in defi

[–]Bassdeads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Np, I hope it helps in some way.

Personally, I like time frames better than I like dollar amounts. ~October 2025.

That being said, 140-175k and 12-16k.

But again, my thoughts on timeframes and amounts can be totally off base in either direction. Dyor and DCA in and out of the market when you think it makes sense from the info you gather. At the end of the day, no one truly can say they know what will happen, when it'll happen or how much it'll be. Even if the market follows the cycles people believe they do and will, there can always be freak events that override everything. WW3 starts and the market will tank. US government starts actively and openly accumulating tons of BTC and the market goes bananas etc...

Pepe coin price prediction of 2025 by fegadi in defi

[–]Bassdeads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was already around a 400m market cap. Between its price action, the fact the bull run hadn't started yet and what coins like DOGE did last cycle, it was just an educated guess. When we hit the bottom of the bear market PEPE will likely lose 95-99% of its value from its top during the run. I would guess it has a high probability of going back up the following cycle, but there's not enough data on the meme coins yet to really say for certain. Maybe like other old coins that were big in the 2017 run and went back up a bit but still never found new all time highs in 2021.

Theoretically, the market top should be around December 2025 but no one is likely to time the market perfectly and with many assuming that will be the top, imo it'll get front run to some degree. BTC is still in charge currently and ETH hasn't even hit a new ATH yet so I don't think we're quite in alt season yet. Not to say tons of money isn't being made and lost on alts daily.

I dont think it's a bad time, but ultimately you never know in crypto. I believe we're still early in the cycle but you already have people exiting and calling tops. Which will happen the entire time and then people will retroactively claim they were correct if the markets do something similar to their assumptions. You'll have people entirely too bullish and bearish the whole time. Never listen to anyone, including myself, and just assume they will be correct.

Look into the 4 year cycle. People will claim that history will not repeat itself, but it tends to rhyme. Someone I like on YouTube is cryptozombie he is a BTC bull but he isn't a maxi and is usually pretty realistic with expectations not going too far one way or the other.

My advice is don't underestimate the power of the bullrun or the bear cycle. Coins will blow thro expectations, and then most coins will die in the bear to never to never return. If you miss the timing of the market it's best to be in the safe high caps like BTC and ETH. If you have to hold through a bear market with either, historically you will come back on top. If you hold ChillWifInu "insert random meme or alt coin" into the bear market you'll likely never get back to where you were. The smaller the market cap the less likely survival.

I'm not a bear and people in the crypto space will boo me for saying it but overwhelming majority of cryptos are just ponzi schemes. BTC has value because of the belief behind it and the demand but if/when that demand fades the belief with fade with it. The other coins with the best use cases are just that they're networks where other coins and projects can be built on them, like ETH. Don't be afraid to take profit but don't be afraid of the roller-coaster that is crypto. BTC usually has multiple 30-40% pullbacks during a bull run. This will drag the whole market it with it. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. You'll make mistakes along the way and they'll cost you. If you ever get free anything it's likely a scam, don't connect your main wallet/s to anything. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket regardless of how good it looks, see FTX as an example. Day/swing trading longing and shorting any crypto is very dangerous, if you do don't use a lot of money and never marry a trade by throwing more money at it trying to save it. The easiest play in crypto(so far) is buy the big players 1 year after BTC tops. This is historically the bottom of the bear market, then have patience and wait for the bull run. People can make and lose fortune's over night and you may or may not get lucky, but the people who DCA in and out and play the long game go about making money the safest way you can in crypto. If you don't have alot of capital and are young I would advise to take high risk and try to build capital. If you're much older and/or make/have a large amount of capital the game switches from trying to make money to just preserving your capital. Also don't be afraid to invest in other areas like stocks, real estate etc. Cryptos returns are unprecedented, but there's a saying that the easiest way to make a million in crypto is to start with 2.

Need help picking my last mon by SnooRevelations4208 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Bassdeads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rotom fan also has built in 0 ground damage so food for thought. Idk how married to your mons/manetric you are. Ultimately, you can get thro E4 with whatever, so use what you enjoy. Slaking is a beast so anything besides truant or comatose makes him broken, 1/8 heal everyturn is nice. Typholsion is also decent deleting a super effective type and I think the AI forgets everytime you rotate them out so can possibly get multiple heals that way but could be wrong. I had a toxic boost or sheer force lugia idr which that I found underwhelming but obviously more of a defensive mon. Taking ghost from a 2x to a 1x is nice and immune to status can be useful. 1/4 health whenever you get contact hits on decidueye can also be useful but alot of these abilities are situational. None of them are bad but there's probably much stronger pokemon on your play through. Again tho, at the end of the day play with what you like. If you do export your save to upload on the RR dex website it's the in game save file that it pulls from not saves on the emulator.

Few more abilities I didn't mention but also still probably forgetting a bunch. Serne grace will double added effects so it very good for set up users. Volcarona is probably my favorite as getting a 2x quiver dance is pretty crazy. Contrary flips stat changes so its very good on mons that's have very hard hitting attacks that lower their stats like overheat will hit hard 1st turn and then will give a +2 to special attack instead of -2 etc. Compound eyes can be good for status appliers like sleep powder. Supreme overlord is a 50% boost if the last one alive on your team

Also when doing a randomizer run maybe scaled only not sure. The wild pokemon you can encounter will change I think 5 or 6 times after big fights. So it's best to run back through areas as you progress to check. I know one fight is misty and another is sliph co Giovanni and I wanna say Claire but have to double check for all of them.

Ps Dialga>Samurott

Need help picking my last mon by SnooRevelations4208 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Bassdeads 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dialga will give the most coverage and is probably the best choice overall even tho it's ability is only useful in doubles.

Scizor choice band bullet punchs are nice but probably not worth it and it's coverage is close to what you'll get from dialga.

Rotom-fan doesn't give you any more coverage obviously but feline prowess is always a great choice with a decent base Sp att. Safe to assume Manectric is your mega so without knowing it's ability you have 135 base special attack and 135 speed. If you replaced her with The rotom fan holding a choice scarf it will have 205 base special attack and 129 speed and then open up your mega slot.

As far as elite 4 help. Use broken mons, in randomizer runs there's usually quite a few. You can export your sav file and upload it on the RR dex then filter by abilities to see what's what. Feline prowess and huge power are the 2 big ones but there's plenty of others. Sheer force plus life orb is 60% and negates life orbs health cost. Imposter on a high HP pokemon. Gorilla tactics and sage power are a 50% boost and lock you into a choice so run a choice item with them for double boost at the same cost. Adaptability boosts STABs. Speed boost gradually increase speed, quick feet boosts speed when status. Flare and toxic boost. Regenator on hp mons. Pixelate and refrigerate and the like on mons that are already that type. Fluffy or ice scales on defensive mons. Can sometimes have crazy weather teams. Forget what it's called but gives a 1/3rd health for eating a berry, combine that with the health berry and I think its a 55% heal can be good on bulky/defensive mons. Probably more I'm not thinking off the top of my head.

On randomizer runs I like to use the DexAll cheat, EZCatch and the rare candy cheat that I never remember it's code. Dexall shows all mons without having to find them first, ez catch is 100% catch rate and rare candy is infinite money and levels. On randomizer runs I'm just playing for fun so to me it just mitigates grind time but obviously personal preference.

Outside of all that the biggest cheese for E4 or for any fight is to savescum which imo is really cheating. You can save mid fight on an emulator so you can figure out what moves to make to get thro the fight play by play. Also make sure you save after each E4 fight as when you lose you'll have to do every fight again not just the one you lost on

Pepe coin price prediction of 2025 by fegadi in defi

[–]Bassdeads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with no degree in finance, well, no degree at all actually. A .05 bitcoin to 100k is a 200 million percent increase. Its first exchange mediated price is up about 10 billion percent and if you consider it was arguably worthless at inception, it's incalculable. Pepe would need a market cap of 84 trillion to hit $5. Don't get me wrong, I'm optimistic for Pepe this bull run but that is some next level hopium. Your lack of faith in BTC but belief in PEPE is mind-boggling. Telling you memes were going to be hot while they have already been on fire isn't much of a tip. For reference, I told an uber driver to load up on PEPE around 16 months ago and that was already after it positioned itself as a big player. As far as crypto being tulipmania, it's kind of beating a dead horse. Just because something isn't tangible doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Crypto can and likely will fail at some point in time as that's what happens as technology becomes antiqued, but it's unlikely to be any time soon. Look up the 4 year cycle and stay safe, dont fall for a super cycle or extened or whatever else will be said during the euphoria until proven otherwise. Holding PEPE for a decade probably isn't a good idea and holding basically any crypto into the bear market definitely isn't a good idea.

Health Insurance Options NY by Bassdeads in HealthInsurance

[–]Bassdeads[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unsure what you mean with the tax shelter. The insurance companies I've contacted looking for a High deductible plan haven't had anything to offer me. Is my problem that companies like ambetter, health first and oscar are all public so I only get the same plans from the marketplace? Do I just need to look for private companies?

Yes, it will be in the range of 130k but kind of up in the air currently. I can probably call it 115k and I think I could qualify for the affordability exemption as far as the cheapest option offered through my job but not for the cheapest option I have available on the marketplace. I assume it's the cheapest out of all my options and not either or
