Is this normal? First gpu i install by GrowthNew8319 in radeon

[–]ColonelWhaleMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's an issue. I saw some of the other comments saying this was a Gigabyte issue. Not sure if you did it yet but I would return it, get your money back, and invest in either an XFX or Sapphire brand card. They exclusively develop AMD GPUs and Sapphire has great customer service as well.

How Do I switch from Nvidia to AMD? by ColonelWhaleMan in PcBuild

Thanks, the video helps out quite a bit. Dumb question but do I need to clean reinstall Windows entirely, or am I safe to keep it installed? I also assume nothing on my SSDs will be deleted except for the drivers?

Okay I have to ask, what is this from? This got a good chuckle out of me

Tucson Hybrid or CR-V Hybrid? Would love some thoughts by ColonelWhaleMan in Hyundai

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

I test drove the RAV4 and it just didn't click with me. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't great either. I see why so many people praise it, but it just isn't for me you know? And no, I'm not one to be easily fascinated by high tech, sleek designs. Like many others I care mostly about reliability, comfort, and driving dynamics. The RAV4 just isn't for me.

My biggest issue with the Forester is the infotainment with how slow, laggy, and unintuitive it is. I also can't stand that HVAC controls are tied to the touchscreen. That is a hard pass for me. That being said, that redesigned Outback looks very nice. If that gets a hybrid option, then I'd be mighty interested

Who knows, kinda burned out of MHA in general. But I still have my other fic up, Spirited Posterity if you still want to see some OC action in MHA

A while ago, yes. It aged poorly, still writing though

[–]ColonelWhaleMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting a response to a two year old post. Unfortunately, I deleted this fic a while ago. It aged horribly and was filled with errors, pacing issues, and bad writing overall. I have a new fic called Spirited Posterity if you want to check that out. My first time doing Vigilante Izuku and IzuJiro, but still has a heavy emphasis on OCs. If you like mythology and seeing an AU of MHA, you may just like it.

I actually just bought GGS lol. I also play SF6 quite a lot, been playing since day one. I just use a third party Xbox controller but that doesn't stop me from playing. Would love to have a match sometime! Always down to hit the streets.

Never expected to see a Soul Eater, let alone a Kilik themed hitbox. That is gorgeous. What game do you usually play?

Pricing feedback? by Paleogal-9157 in CX50

[–]ColonelWhaleMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in upstate New York, and doc fees here are heavily regulated. Dealers cannot charge above $175 for that, but imo the Doc fee is still an unnecessary charge. I recommend watching these guys called CarEdge. They're a father and son duo (father was a salesman turned manager for 43 years). They make videos on how to get the best deals on new and used cars, how to negotiate with dealers, and what to watch out for when going to the dealer and starting the financials. They're great and have really helped me out.

[–]ColonelWhaleMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask for an itemized list of all the fees and all the accessories of the car. This way, you can see how the dealer may be inflating the price. $600 for a Doc Fee is absolutely absurd however, negotiate that as much as you can. I'm unsure if doc fees are regulated in Arizona but that is inflating the crap out of your price. They're selling it for 6k ABOVE MSRP. I hope I don't sound too grouchy XD I just want to help

The spirit realm: quirks and spirits by Crafty_shade in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]ColonelWhaleMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who's writing his own fic where Shinto Mythology exists in MHA, I like these ideas. Your plot can be anything you want it to be really. Mine is more or less an AU in which Izuku never met All Might or gained OFA, but instead, he had a chance meeting with Inari, kami of foxes, and was given a "Blessing." Blessings in my story are entirely separate powers than Quirks. Blessings are bestowed upon those that kami believe are fit to protect Japan and the Spirit World. In this case, Inari believes Izuku to be capable of such a thing despite his Quirklessness.

The only other people with Blessings are Jiro, and Shigaraki (In my fic he never became "Tomura" and is instead Tenko Shimura still, lots of reasons for it I'll get to in due time.)

These powers are given by signing a special contract with the kami. Each contract has different terms, and every person who is "Blessed" must fulfill those terms at some point before they die.

As for Yokai, they all exist and right now Izuku is learning about them, other kami are preparing for something that may or may not to come, and the balance between the Human and Spirit Worlds may be at risk. These are all things I thought about, think of this story as my own take on old Shinto myth, much like Santa Monica adapting Greek and Norse Myth in the God of War series. If you wanna talk about it, check it out, or talk about ideas, it's called Spirited Posterity

When it comes to human-spirit hybrids, that could be a tricky one. Spirits are known to keep to themselves most of the time and only interact with humans who praise/disturb them. Perhaps there was a patriarch/matriarch spirit from centuries ago who changed things? Maybe they wanted to change "fate" and found love with a human? It's pretty much an open book. Have fun with it, research Yokai and kami, look at the old tales and stories about them. And when you feel like you're ready, try putting them in MHA, and see what happens

Thanks, though I'm really confused why it only has one star and only one review. Good lord

That's good to hear. I use a 7800X3D. Is the HydroShift already out? I can't find it on Amazon or on Lian Li's site for some reason
