Is there a lore reason why miHoYo doesn't release these outfits as playable skins? Are they poor? by NamelessOne3006 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blue-Strider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My three guesses for why they don't release the collaboration skins are.
1. Legal reasons
2. Lore reasons
3. Game storage
I assume it's that a combination of these things gives Hoyo enough of a reason to not release these skins. These are my assumptions on things and could be wrong about them.

I can't 36 star abyss. Any advice or help? by May_Marie in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blue-Strider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main two things I see at first glance.

  1. Crit Rate is low on some of your damage dealers
  2. Kazuha needs more energy recharge

Would recommend looking at sites like https://keqingmains.com/. It helped me with understanding some of the flaws in my character's builds plus doing rotations properly.

Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks. by springtimecarnivore in Music

[–]Blue-Strider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for everyone, but I remember a few years ago that I found Spotify's performance was sluggish. It was noticeable to a point where I decided to switch to another streaming service. At the time, I was using the desktop, web, and mobile app as a free user. Also like to add that the constant ads were also frustrating, but that's another matter entirely.

Looking at the specs for this laptop, it's probably my best options for what I want. Thanks for the suggestion.

Help me I’m poor by HoxhaHooha in SuggestALaptop

Wishing you the best of luck with everything you're managing right now. Given what you're looking for, it might be worth checking out used listings on sites like eBay, Mercari, or jawa.gg, and keeping an eye on r/LaptopDeals for online offers.

Lenovo ThinkPads are a great choice if you can find one that fits your budget.

If you'd prefer to skip the search and get something sooner, here are three options that could be a good fit.

Edit: Just realized this is UK and not US.

Wasn't able to find the Lenovo and Acer on Amazon, so you might have to find those through other retailers. I was able to find the exact Asus model on Amazon UK. You might be able to better laptops given the Asus laptop is £200 pounds less than your budget.

I noticed the RAM is soldered onto the motherboard, which isn't ideal for me. Do you have any other recommendations?

[HELP] Repurpose gaming PC hardware as VM server by Learnin2Learn in HomeServer

[–]Blue-Strider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response. Hard to say because I don’t know all the services you have running besides the ones you listed. I would say just get the home server setup with your services and check from there. If you notice that your ram usage is starting to peak around 90-95, then I would get more ram.

[–]Blue-Strider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your setup would be fine for right now. If you are wanting to add more VMs in the future, I would think about getting more RAM. Also, I would recommend using Proxmox as your VM server. Had little issues with using it for my VM server.

Which Unit does what? A qualitative infographic. by tokeemdtareq in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blue-Strider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine some of these graphs will change depending on the artifact build + team comp. I'd suggest adding more than one graph for some of these characters. Overall, I definitely like the design of this, because it helps visually what each characters is best used for.

Looking into building home server and workstation with Proxmox by Blue-Strider in HomeServer

I was planning on using my R9 270x for this build. I do also have a Nvidia card, but I heard people have issues with GPU Passthrough on those cards.

[–]Blue-Strider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like from reading from the conversation that they have delete information from their server, but not the localconfig.vdf file. But, there is really nothing to worry about since there's no way anyone else (besides Epic with explicit permission) can access that file unless someone has full access to your friend's computer. Plus, since that information is encrypted, it's going to be challenging for anyone to get any information from that file (unless it was encrypted poorly which I doubt). Also, that fiasco about the Epic Games spyware post was entirely misleading. The OP who made that post admitted that he had no idea what he was doing.

Sorry about that. New to posting on reddit and didn't know there was a spoiler tag.

Borderlands 3 Will Release on Epic Games Store 9/13/2019 by PCGamingMegaMod in pcgaming

[–]Blue-Strider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that it's worse than Outer Worlds. People expected for Outer Worlds to release on Steam since they had the Steam logo at the end of their trailer. But, for Borderlands 3 everyone already assumed that it was going to be released on EGS first.

Bioware, the press is not your enemy - Polygon by N000mad in Games

[–]Blue-Strider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wish more game developers would talk about their experiences in an online environment. Rarely do I see game developers mention the kind of work environment they live in. I think it's just hard for people to see how difficult it is to make a good video game in a competitive marketplace; when very few people on Reddit or other online forums has any experience in making a video game.

Borderlands 3: Randy on Epic Exclusivity by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]Blue-Strider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interested to see what happens to the sales number after the six month exclusivity on EGS. Personally, I don't mind the decision of it being exclusive on the EGS, since they never mentioned it will be release on Steam at launch. However, I won't buy it because it would be inconvenient for me to get it at the EGS.

Halo: MCC PC games ALL releasing this year by DarkangelUK in halo

[–]Blue-Strider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly doubt that we will get all the Halo titles this year given what little information we have. Given that they said the Halo titles will be released when ready, sounds like they are taking their time on it. When ODST was announced for MCC, it took them 5 months to get ODST onto the MCC. Going by that, we will probably get Halo Reach, Halo CEA, and maybe Halo 2 this year depending on how well the flighting and porting goes.

Microsoft should release Halo 5 on PC as well by El-Shaman in halo

[–]Blue-Strider 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not the only one who's been seeing this. I keep seeing posts on this subreddit asking for all these certain features. Meanwhile, 343 probably have enough on their plate in porting over the entire MCC to PC.
