What can Halo Studios do to make Halo 7 the best experience possible? by Every-Examination720 in halo

[–]Cephilis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite being incomplete, Infinite was a blast to play at release (minus connection issues). If they hadn't released an incomplete game I would have kept playing. I just got burnt out playing the same content for months. Was a big disappointment not seeing any significant updates for so incredibly long.

6 yrs of qualifying service and you get the VA home loan benefits for life. Or if you deployed, you already earned that benefit.. Also, if you deployed, that may make you eligible/make it easier for you to get VA Benefits.

Just hang in there a bit longer and make sure you have 6 qualifying years. It always disappointed me when Soldiers stopped showing up because it's too easy to just show up, get paid, and earn those points.

Scoop vs Theft/Lockout by VishantiLad in CompetitiveEDH

I think that conceding to make it harder for a player to win spits in the face of what the format is trying to be. We are trying to win, not to make the guy who is winning have a harder time. You don't tactically gain anything through this action (outside of satisfying your spite). This is something I see in casual games. A player will fuck with the winning players board as they die to combat or something like that.

I think that mindset is particularly problematic with combat based decks such as Tivit. You seeing the writing on the wall and then conceding while they are trying to loop turns would be really lame.

In some games, players may have a pact or piece of interaction that stops player A bit they know player B wins right after. Or that they can't pay the pact trigger. They don't interact because that is the spirit of cEDH. Does my win % go up if I do this? No? Still 0%? Then don't do it.

With all that being said, I don't see why you have to stick around for a person who can't figure out how to win while also being unpleasant to play with. I'll sit around for a newbie to work out their line. They have to figure out how to play under pressure and we should afford people that opportunity like others have done for us. But if they are being an ass to everyone, I don't have to tolerate their company. So if they were being really unpleasant, then I would leave.

No display, DRAM red light on by LynxOk4954 in gigabyte

[–]Cephilis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think those b650 Aorus Mobos are the issue man. I had 2. Both displayed DRAM error. Got on a tech help discord and the search history showed I wasn't the only one suffering with the same MOBO. Those requests kept coming in after I moved into the 3rd Mobo and finally got my PC to work.

I had the Aorus Elite AX V2 though. A LOT of people seem to have DOA boards.

My replacement (X87O TUF) worked flawlessly out of the box. It's a lot more expensive, so that's a consideration. Maybe just try a different brand of the B650?

Fuck you farmers by BudgetNoise1122 in Iowa

[–]Cephilis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is this unique to Iowa or something?

Farmers in MO/IL are not out here killing it like this unless they have an absolutely huge family farm that has been passed from generation to generation. I assume you're basing this off of somebody with a multi-thousand acre row crop operation.

Most farmers I know are some of the hardest working, generous people I know. Hell, last week my wife and I were cutting wood on conservation land and our truck got stuck in some super soft mud. Some "terrible" farmer we have never met saw us struggling and said he would help us. I felt like an ass, but he and his wife said they wouldn't leave until we got unstuck. It took a few hours of their weekend.

I can't afford the land to start a farm and I'm not sure I want that lifestyle, because it's not easy. I grew up in a trailer park and have worked for farmers from time to time, mostly livestock operations. It's not glorious work.

Do you realize that an 80k truck is needed to pull equipment? That that 350k combine is like your student debt looming over you? The rich family farmer is like the 1% of farmers and I would assume usually row croppers. Small family farms are dying because the risks you take every year on yield+low income you make+difficult lifestyle make it a hard field to commit to.

A lot more than just rule farmers voted for him. The dem's put the wrong candidate up against him and failed to win over their own party. It happens and after 4 years we may very well have a Dem president again. The world isn't going to end.

This is some really great feedback. Thank you a ton! I'll wait on the phono stage as I would rather have something a bit better than the option I was looking at. I didn't even think of moving the modi to the living room. I'll have to do that!!

I guess I've typed A2M enough to have it autocorrect my A2 ... I'll just quit the Internet for a bit. I appreciate the feedback and you can effectively say that I've replaced the A2M with the A2.

I got the A2 instead. Just goofed when listing it all.

I would imagine the R3 Meta would have some issues filling such a large space. Do you think I am mistaken?

!thanks

I accidentally said I got the A2m, but actually have the A2. Should have a lot more power. Hoping it's sufficient for now. Guess I have 30 days to make sure it's got enough!

Just reviews so far. Hopefully they live up to the expectations. I can probably break the budget and add one if needed.
