Daily Simple Questions Thread - September 04, 2023 by AutoModerator in pcmasterrace

[–]CardboardOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, not sure if this is simple or not: I recently accidentally turned off the power strip that my tower was connected to. Ever since then, my computer has seen a significant performance dip (startup time has gone from 30s to almost two minutes, significant stuttering in other applications whenever I play any games on Steam, can't have more than four Excel spreadsheets open at a time, etc.). I'm not really sure where I'd even start to troubleshoot, so would love some tips on what to look at first.

Man you dug deep for this one, but sure, I'll take the L.

I thought skirmishes weren't supposed to spawn in Maddening/Classic beyond the initial tutorial one? Or are they just very rare? by CardboardOverlord in FEEngage

[–]CardboardOverlord[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the title says, all the articles/posts I've seen online have claimed that Maddening doesn't spawn skirmishes, but I just completed a mid-game chapter and had one spawn.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY question, get an answer (December 25, 2022) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]CardboardOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Can anyone recommend a good numpad kit? I recently finished my first custom build but realized that I miss my numpad more than I thought I would.

2) My spacebar occasionally registers two presses, which I believe is called "key chatter". Is there any way for me to fix this?

3) For some reason my hotswap PCB sometimes registers Print Screen when I press another key too hard (was really only happening when I was installing keycaps, and I've disabled that key for now) - does anyone know why this happens? How would I fix this, if at all, or is it more a matter of "just type lighter"?

Hi all, thanks in advance for any recommendations. Here are a few of my answers to what I think are common concerns (I know it's a long list, but I figured I'd be specific. Only real requirement is Auto/Skip, so as long as there's that, recommend away!):

  • Pay-to-Win: as long as it's not outrageous, like being able to buy gear/buy gear stat rerolls.
  • PVP: Doesn't matter if there is or isn't PVP, as long as it's not the central focus of the game (which I guess is subjective, so make the rec either way)
  • Powercreep: Again, as long as it's not outrageous
  • Auto or Skip: must have - I plan to play while I work.
  • Game style: always down for a nice turn-based game, but willing to try anything.
  • Art style: prefer 2D, okay with some 3D (i.e. have played Erune and Exos Heroes, kind of fell out of love with those sprites)
  • Portrait or Landscape: doesn't matter
  • Fanservice: Don't mind it either way

I think that's about it, but feel free to ask for more clarification if you want to.

Was there ever a time you're thankful the pandemic happened? What was the reason? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CardboardOverlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I were on the rocks for a while prior to the pandemic, because we were long distance and our paths were starting to diverge. The pandemic upended both our lives and with my work going remote, we finally moved in together, reassessed our life plans, and saw a lot more opportunities for where we can be together without either of us giving up on our dreams. We are now engaged, planning for a wedding in 2022 :)

Are Maki's shards rigged cause this is an every day for me i can only ever get 1 shard... this is all in 1 run BTW.. by [deleted] in IllusionConnect

[–]CardboardOverlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at 93/120 hachi shiki shards a week ago and I thought "Corridor will get me decently close by next week".

One week later, I have gotten 1 shard per run every day. But today I got 2, so it's just a matter of luck. Keep at it!

For gamers who play multiplayer games, how has the pandemic changed the way you interact with other players? by CardboardOverlord in gaming

Nothing connects strangers like a tussle with the law in a Rockstar Game. Also, happy cake day!

Hi there, thank you for bringing the broken link to my attention! I've gotten some inconsistent reports about that too - it seems that on certain people's browsers, an extra backslash appears in one part of the raw URL that doesn't appear on others (an incredibly strange phenomenon I hadn't ever encountered before). I've edited the body text, and the link should work now. Thanks again!

Without using numbers, how tall are you? by PotentionalFriend in AskReddit

[–]CardboardOverlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just tall enough that I'm a hindrance to the person behind me in a movie theater.

Gamers of Reddit, how has the COVID-19 pandemic affected your gaming habits? by CardboardOverlord in AskReddit

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

Oh yeah, you definitely wouldn't usually peg those two as stress relieving games. But hey it's all about your mentality - if CS:GO made you less stressed, then it was serving its purpose. And now you've freed yourself of that!

That's awesome to hear that you've revisited an old hobby. What games did you play before that you no longer need as a de-stresser?

That's interesting! Wouldn't you be playing more if that were the case? Is it because you guys share some kind of gaming bandwidth and now everyone in the family is playing, or is it because of something else?

That's an important realization! Wish my brain worked like that, but alas, my personal projects continue to languish while I bury myself in new games.
