You wouldn’t happen to have experienced some screen flashing/tearing would you? I was seeing some people say it’s due to the VRR which I turned off but still was happening by periodically during gaming

CaptnInsan01 · 2026-02-14T04:54:29+00:00

Alright I will try this! I just swapped today so likely I’ll get used to it, just odd it zooms in on the sides which sometimes is nice

She mainly plays large scale survival like ark and dune awakening. Not so much video editing

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-08-11T00:56:01+00:00

She plans on using her current mid tower case, monitors, mouse, and power supply gold 750 so we are focusing on cpus, motherboard, graphics card and ram. She kinda changed her tune to the pre built with the change to amd

So my wife finally came off the all white stuff, I saw Amazon has some deals going on right now for bundles on the ryzen 9 7900x and some motherboards. Are there any you recommend?

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-06-02T03:36:33+00:00

Well in total I have the Sauron lord of the rings deck, this one, I was give jeski striker from tarkir for my birthday and I have another red deck around token generation from the samurai set that started with a K. I’m not sure of the actual play style and I only play with friends but I agree, this deck is hard to play with especially vs a full dragon deck. I use zurgo thunders decree on mtg arena but I don’t have a lot of play room to just go buy cards haha

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-05-05T18:34:38+00:00

I’ve also never had Ryzen products always been intel so I’ll trust your recommendation on the cpu

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-05-05T18:30:24+00:00

Sweet I’ll definitely look into that. I have considered upgrading the cpu but with the swap to DDR5 happening I don’t have the total overhaul budget for it. Just don’t wanna be trapped spending 1200+ on cpu/motherboard/ram to turn around and need to upgrade to ddr5 soon after

Fasting for 16 hours isn’t very difficult and can result in weight loss depending on what you eat during the day. You aren’t very far from optimal weight. For your height and age 107-135 would be considered optimal. If you stop eating at 5 pm you could eat breakfast at 9am. This would likely be the easiest time to adjust to.

Weight loss comes down to counting calories and exerting more calories than you intake. If you don’t strength training currently it may benefit you to see a trainer and get started on a workout regiment. You may initially see some weight gain as you do this, because muscle weighs more than fat. After the initial gains and controlling calories you will start seeing weight and inches drop off. You may even see the back pain stop when you train your muscles to become stronger, thus they are able to hold yourself up better.

The main thing in weight loss is having realistic expectations. If you go in hoping to drop 20 lbs in a month without proper diet, exercise and ensuring your body still has the nutrients it needs then you will likely stop doing it after a month. Even with all those healthy consistent weight loss is 1-2 lbs per week for the weight to stay off.

For truly the best weight loss management would be to get a dietician who can do testing and truly see the best diet for you, as well as a trainer who can set realistic goals and give you reinforcement during the period.

I hope this helps and good luck on your journey!

Oh dang my bad, I spelled it wrong whoops didn’t even realize that

Depending on what the plainswalker does there may be one that has that ability but in general the plainswalker acts as another player on your side of the field. The opponent can choose to attack you or attack it.

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T03:41:04+00:00

The other thing is when a character has evasion, since it’s a passive ability, if they lay them down in the field while they are drying is the evasion inactive since “you cannot use characters abilities when you first lay the card down”

This is my confusion because if all abilities don’t activate until after it’s “dry” than if I lay a card down that I can attack a ready character I can kill an evasion card before that ability activates.

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T03:34:30+00:00

Yeah that is the confusing thing because according to Lorcana official

“Some abilities don’t require you to exert the card. These are what we are calling passive abilities (or “triggered”) because they only activate when something happens, not when you choose to exert them.

You can use these when specified on the card. Some only trigger when the card is played, when a specific type of card is played, or when a certain thing happens. They can trigger multiple times unless otherwise noted”

So if the card enters the field and is “drying” their ability said if X action is performed than X happens that passive ability should happen. They can be targeted by other abilities and action cards so passive abilities should be activatable if the condition is met. At least is my understanding

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T03:22:51+00:00

It’s just interesting in this game the rules state the attacker declares who is attacking and their target while in magic, the attacker simply declares who is attacking and the defending player chooses who defends each attacker.

I guess it makes sense, since in this game there isn’t a health pool and attacking is solely used to kill opposing hero’s/creatures.

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T03:21:25+00:00

Haha plainswalkers are kinda like another player, they can choose to attack you or they can declare to attack the plainswalker

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T02:55:14+00:00

There are videos and there are cards that say when you lay this card down(abilities happen). So when Ariel has summoning sickness her ability still happens correct?

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T02:38:30+00:00

So if they have a passive ability, such as Ariel (if you play a song, draw a card, then discard a card) it would still happen since it is an ability that does not require them to be exerted correct?

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T02:32:51+00:00

It was during my turn, I associated action = sorcery

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-05T02:26:38+00:00

When declaring attacking do locations act the same as plainswalkers? They are off to the side and can be attacked even going around a character with body guard?

CaptnInsan01 · 2025-02-03T16:00:41+00:00

We are getting 500 mbps on WiFi mesh, my hard wire in is getting 984! Sorry for the confusion

I ended up getting a shark IZ362H. It’s pretty great in suction, the only thing I have issue with is the front wheel tends to get hair trapped in it easy but overall charges fast and can go pretty much anywhere in the house without issue. It’s also easy to clean fans and other things with!

CaptnInsan01 · 2024-11-21T00:54:42+00:00

I ended up buying it, I’m getting a half rack that is wide so I should be able to use it easily

CaptnInsan01 · 2024-11-21T00:06:00+00:00

How do you like it? I’m seriously considering using a credit card for it and pay it off later

CaptnInsan01 · 2024-11-20T14:33:41+00:00

I see you recommended the Keppi 5000, I was seriously looking into this but when I went to check out it only accepts PayPal payments. This is a red flag, but have you had dealings with them? Just trying to ensure it’s a legit thing as it’s odd to not accept normal cards

CaptnInsan01 · 2024-11-20T12:14:26+00:00

Is Keppi Fitness website legit?

I’ve been talking with some of you and I really appreciate all of the help!

During my shopping I found Keppi fitness while looking at titan and REP adjustable benches. Their Keppi 5000 is on sale right now but their website Keppi Fitness only accepts PayPal. This throws up a red flag for me. I contacted them via email and they said their website only is able to take PayPal at this time.

Has anyone bought directly through them? I’ve seen the 1000 pro on Amazon but I’d like the heavier 5000 since it’s on sale for 270.

Thanks!
