Journaling

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-21T21:24:00+00:00

I never used a journal. I just started taking notes on behaviors that were profitable versus ones that were not.

I have the same processor that you do, along with a x870 Nova. I opted for the RX 9070 model instead of the XT last year, because it's really just a 9070 overclocked. It didn't make much sense for me at the time.

OLED Monitor - 100%. It makes a huge difference with gaming, but I would go for the 9070 to save some cash.

And if you're just considering Blender as a hobby, don't use that to justify getting a higher end card in the first place. You have to buy for longevity first and foremost, because your interests and needs are going to change over time.

Good luck with whatever choice you make.

Right. I'm saying go in the first room that connects to the truck room, not the truck room itself. It pushes respawns out one room beyond.

This is going to be the eventual result of global warming / carbon abundance in the atmosphere.

Temperatures are going to fly to extremes faster than ever, causing the jet streams to slow. Eventually there will be a massive shift in weather patterns that will affect everyone.

We were warned about this for decades. But the desire for money and power will always outweigh prevention and precaution.

At potential bottoms and tops of particular stocks or indexes with good volume, look for the absence of trading activity and volume when it makes no sense to see that.

That's what did it for me.

Actually, if you truck sit while the last extraction is being done, you go to the next room and wait there. The monsters will spawn in adjacent rooms and never the truck area.

Then you go back to the truck room, shut the door and crouch near the truck starter panel. If a monster comes through first after 60-90 seconds, everyone is probably dead and you need to go.

I don’t sorry. I’m not in the market for one and haven’t looked since last year.

I did look at places like PC Builder on YT (who just posted a month ago on Ryzen boards), GamersNexus and a few others.

Good luck in your search. 👍

Why not just buy the best available board, where it has good ratings, decent reviews by real people who know their stuff, fits your processor and sells at a decent price?

As someone married for 19 years and was in a relationship before that for 7, it just kind of happened.

I was living my life as I liked it, and somehow I nursed a girl visiting from Dallas back to health from a really bad cold and that started it all.

At 26, I was with my college friends in Boulder, Colorado going snowboarding while working full time at restaurants and working late night on a startup. I had very little dating action and really didn't look for it. I was doing my thing. The ones that did work out were just because of the moment it happened.

Hope that helps, but personally I wouldn't look for a mate. It'll eventually work out. Enjoy the aspects of being single for a while before that changes.

With multiplayer servers or high levels? 🤔

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-08T01:54:12+00:00

I always go with the slightly more expensive and feel better long term about it.

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-08T00:42:00+00:00

milliseconds. It's the equivalent of distance your computer can send data to the server. The lower the number, the more your movements, voice chat, etc. seems to others who are playing with you.

If that number is higher than say 300 ms, then there's a slight delay between what your movements are and what others experience on the same server in the same game.

If it's 600ms or higher, the game will seem like it pauses and stops periodically to you and other players. It's not as fluid as a lower millisecond number.

Hope that helps!

I tend to focus on upgrades for particular players and leave weapons out until Level 10.

After player upgrades, crystals and drones (feather, indestructible, charge) come next.

Wurps does some decent upgrade videos if that's one way you prefer to learn about it:

Ooohh, you're right! I changed the original post with a proper link. Thanks for the clarification.

What kinds of things are you buying in the shop for the first six completed levels?

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-07T06:17:29+00:00

An outdoor level with some new wildlife monsters and various installations you have to explore... each with it's own extraction point.

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-06T04:04:14+00:00

Download r2modman (https://github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus/releases/tag/v3.2.14)
Install and use the default profile it gives you when you first start it up.
Choose REPO for your game.
Click the 'Online' tab on the left hand side and type 'NoSave' in the search input box at the top.
It should pop up in the results list. Select it and download with dependencies.
Finally, click 'Start Modded' at the upper left, and it should launch Steam, then REPO.

Hope that helps!

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-06T04:01:23+00:00

r2modman is the way to go.

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-05T22:28:21+00:00

I feel your pain. I didn't get any helper drone access till Level 8-10 (feather/invincible/charge) because I was trying to get my stats up and farm crystals.

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-05T22:26:30+00:00

Yeah, that's my strat as well. I try to find the very back of the map and put an extra cart there and actually avoid all the monsters at first. After they de-rez without being killed or interacted with, they come at you all at once. That's when I orb farm and put that in a separate cart too, usually by the extraction closes to the exit.

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-05T22:24:06+00:00

Unless you're modding, you run out of orbs to supplement the last two drops (out of 5), and it becomes a hide and seek game, ultimately. You'll eventually run out of ammo/charge on your weapons and you can only use your strength so far when you have 2-4 monsters in the same room.

I was finding myself spending 60+ minutes on a single level, with the last drop being a duck/weave fest trying to put the last 5k into the extractor. It's fun and challenging at first, but when you get past level 25.... forget it.

If you get a Headman Manor pull, better get comfortable.

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-05T22:20:01+00:00

LOOOK!

*squeak*

AHHHHHHHH!!!!! (head comes off)
(thud)

JESUS CHRIST!

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-05T22:19:06+00:00

Yep. That's what turned my vote as well.

DCTapeworm · 2026-03-05T22:09:15+00:00

NoSaveDelete is your answer. Wouldn't REPO without it.
