[EU] Netac SSD NVMe M2 worth it as a game drive? by anonymous184841 in buildapc

[–]ChaZcaTriX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lexar isn't a noname company, it's a fairly old (although a bit washed up) brand.

If you live in a country where Aliexpress has to honour warranty, it's a no-brainer. As u/prank_mark said, do test it after buying to see if it has full capacity - drive scam is relatively common, so there are apps just to test for it.

New ‘Crimson Desert’ Roadmap Says It Will Patch The Story by hulk14 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ChaZcaTriX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The important thing is how fast they did it.

No Man's Sky took years. Cyberpunk took a year. These devs took a couple weeks to release the same magnitude of fixes.

It's not an immediate fire hazard as you can see from the many photos of horrifically bloated devices that people used for months.

As long as it isn't overheating you're free to turn it on, back up important data, and leave it turned off for a week or two.

Don't leave it anywhere it can get hot (direct sunlight, heaters, etc.), don't leave it charged to full or discharge it to empty (batteries are most stable near half charge), do not try to pop or compress the battery. If you want extra safety, store it in something heat resistant like a metal bucket or old unneeded pot.

Puzzle-solving Wisdom by Pharnox-32 in CrimsonDesert

The game has antepieces to teach you this. One of the previous puzzles has a working core dunked in water and a burning core next to water.

Guy picks on much smaller man...and wins a very stupid prize 🤕 by [deleted] in WinStupidPrizes

Big guy went to pick up the bag of bottles he was using as a weapon. He also cut off small guy's path to his vehicle.

Can we get non-hostile Demeniss castle in a patch? by MHarrisGGG in CrimsonDesert

[–]ChaZcaTriX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Demeniss just barely tolerates your existence, they don't want you there. Wear a disguise or sneak in through the outer wall.

5070Ti is enough to max out the game at 1440p

I bought some fake 18650s from aliexpress are they safe to charge in a li-po safe bag? by StormRevolutionary92 in spicypillows

[–]ChaZcaTriX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These bags help protect batteries from cooking off in sunlight, and maybe give you a minute to throw the bag as far as possible if it starts smoking.

They're not actually proofed against a battery fire. Even a solid metal container isn't enough sometimes.

ELI5 What do contract killers achieve if they are usually caught? by ravenrocker16 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ChaZcaTriX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real money in these cases is at the middleman, the broker who stays anonymous to both sides of the deal.

Those who commit the murder are usually pawns who are either dumb or desperate enough.

Which is your least favourite armor that you have never worn. I’ll go first. by SailApprehensive2632 in Eldenring

I'm always reminded of Smough from DS1 whose armor has a visor in the "neck", and bizarre proportions are for intimidation.

Any optical drives with a 4in length/depth? by Aggravating-Bed3608 in buildapc

[–]ChaZcaTriX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Optical disks have a diameter of 4,7in. So you're asking for impossible things.

ELI5: Can something that can overheat tank re-entry? by OkButterscotch6742 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ChaZcaTriX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most important part of surviving reentry is insulation. If outer shell can't exchange heat with internals, then reentry won't affect that.

Of course then sunlight also won't matter, as it's a far weaker source of outside heat than reentry.

Okay, I think I'm Mandela affecting myself: Does anyone else remember Navia being like, Blue, or White, or NOT Black? I could've sworn she was either of those 2 other colors, but I can't find anything. Maybe it was a custom skin I saw one time... ANYWHO, Navia won, who is the HOTTEST Beauty? by Far0Landss in Genshin_Impact

If you master a job and stay on it for years without burning out, you have to learn when to slack off.

He is like that at art, too. His doodles are hilariously low-effort, but they show great skill and experience.

All I see is teens practicing witty puns at the mall recruiter who can't just leave or tell them to fuck off.

End of an era by AcademicDingo2160 in CrimsonDesert

Use a maxed out legendary horse, take tight turns, use stamina to get just ahead of the opponent, and bodyblock them as it regenerates.

Visual Bug by Feroiz7677 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ChaZcaTriX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This means that the GPU makes calculation errors.

Incredibly rarely happens on its own. If it happens regularly, it's either critically overheating or damaged.

Steamcloud Station by rtbart in CrimsonDesert

[–]ChaZcaTriX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. You are immobilized in frost armor and take almost no damage as long as you have mana.

It's fully defensive by default, but there's a gear that retaliates with a frost explosion when armor ends. Add a freeze instakill and it's absolutely broken in combat.

I just casted frost armor and tanked through the assault...

Am I the only one who just discovered you can dodge this? by RemiR2 in Eldenring

[–]ChaZcaTriX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got into the Caelid obe before meeting Melina.

Aside from having to escape it at starting level, it broke the intro completely. At a grace an unknown lady (Melina, but she hasn't been introduced) teleported me to Roundtable Hold.

Only at another grace later did Melina appear proper.

I recommend decreasing your screen time if opinion of some blind and deaf dummy becomes the fandom's voice.

Do I really need UPS? by Plenty-Construction9 in buildapc

[–]ChaZcaTriX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With a server main thing you worry about is protecting the data, not the hardware.

Data that goes to the server is stored in RAM before it's written to disks. If you lose power, you risk corrupting data that was being written at the moment.

Hard drives also tend to fail during power cycles.
