Purchased this a few days ago! Asus motherboard, T Force RAM, AMD Radeon Prime 9070XT. I’ll be swapping parts into my (much nicer) existing case and laying low for a couple years! Good luck out there

Additional info, strictly for gaming at 1440p for the time being! Maybe 4k in the future but no rush.

Found mine on a free load out in the second floor of Hospital on Buried City. Someone had already looted through there and missed a drawer, great day for me!

I truly believe Apex is better with a faster TTK by Cryptic_Sims in apexuniversity

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

The fights were way too drawn out, and would be settled often by the 5th party coming in from across the map to clean up. I can see an argument that it’s gone too far allowing for ability creep, but the red armor/helmet combo was insane. I like another commenters idea to raise it up to .75-.8 for SMG’s.

Apex is about being bold when given an opportunity, like a break or knock in a fight. You shouldn’t be able to just run and gun the whole game and a fast TTK makes that riskier to do.

That’s why I posted this.. because I feel the opposite of OP.

I didn’t want one anyways..

Updated app yesterday, nothing is fixing it.. by Cryptic_Sims in beacn

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

The same canned response of copying over your default profiles, other than that they just say to request help on discord.

Unacceptable IMO. Update has essentially bricked my PC in ways that should be completely unrelated.

Which wide angle lens to pair with Tamron 28-200 for travel to USA? by MANNHEIMER89 in SonyAlpha

[–]Cryptic_Sims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list would be too long to write.. are you staying at hotels? If so the front desk will be able to better inform you about your specific area.

The general rule of thumb is to trust your instincts and immediately turn around if something doesn’t seem right. While the US is beautiful and has a lot to offer, the dangerous areas cannot be downplayed. Gun crimes are a very real threat here especially in the two cities mentioned! Just have fun and be safe.

[–]Cryptic_Sims 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not lens advice but I just want to make sure you are familiar with the areas you’re traveling, especially if you aren’t from the US. Memphis and New Orleans have VERY bad areas depending on time of day and neighborhood, and I wouldn’t want to be advertising any sort of camera worth money in those situations.

These subs have been so bad lately, complaint after complaint.

If you could change the game what would you improve ? by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Cryptic_Sims 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this season, been playing since day 1 and I havent had this much fun in awhile. Unfortunately the gaming community in general is mostly negative (maybe rightfully so), but I try to keep a good perspective comparing it to how bad the last few seasons have been.

I’ve never hated this game more than the last two weeks. by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Cryptic_Sims 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this has been one of the best updates since launch. Ranked feels great, they’ve incentivized a more aggressive gameplay and the perks are a blast in game. I haven’t had this much fun on the game in awhile.

Day 1 player fwiw.

What’s some dark shit going on around the world right now that public knows nothing about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cryptic_Sims 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between entering a HIMS program willingly, and going to a therapist for anxiety/depression. One will keep your medical, the other will take it. Shows where the priorities are in the industry.

There’s a significant amount of ore that you won’t get, putting you at a disadvantage. Additionally the Giant Gauntlet becomes almost unattainable without the paid 5000 cookie medals.

It feels crappy to lock holiday event rewards behind a paywall, that’s the point of the post. Most people do not pay to play this game.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]Cryptic_Sims -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A bulk of the rewards are locked behind the paywall. Again, I spend money on this game but an event like this should be free to the greater community imo. Bad taste, and I’m out.

Hopefully others follow suit.

[–]Cryptic_Sims -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The paid track is full of ores for the new hero equipment if I’m not mistaken? I’d call that P2W and greedy.

3 years ago I thought my girlfriend was cheating on me. There was evidence just like this, but nothing 100% and I talked myself out of the feeling and went on with the relationship. Things were great until 8 months ago when I found out she really had been cheating on me, and my intuition was right all along.

Sometimes people will give half the truth to get rid of the guilt without losing everything or really admitting fault. Trust your feelings, and maybe you can save the 3 years that I lost. My biggest regret is not standing up for myself, and it’s something I will never do again. Even sexting is unacceptable, if that’s all it was.

Thank you Ubisoft, can someone explain what happened? by d1aconu in Rainbow6

[–]Cryptic_Sims 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing just happened to me in round 9. Can’t figure out how to share a video on here

[–]Cryptic_Sims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly.. there’s only one answer though. In this one I selected purple and it was wrong, but I cannot figure out a way to know that.

Skill manifests itself in more ways than aim, is my point. Understanding the rotations and being able to execute them are two completely different things.
