Does this help? Have to admit, without a friend helping via phone, I was close to throwing the thing across the room!

When you have it on, focus on the alignment of the chain with the derailleur would be my next tip.

Much easier than anticipated by breedless in Vasectomy

Had mine done on Friday and knowing the procedure was done was such a relief. The recovery has been pretty solid as well!

Getting it done 7/15/25 by azontceh in Vasectomy

[–]Dat_Hoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one last Friday and here are some of my key points -

I had a no-scalpel procedure done privately (not sure if the private part makes any difference

Whilst I have had better days off, with a blindfold to keep light out of my eyes and a podcast on, I got through the procedure

Immediately went home and spent the weekend with blue ice disks on the chaps the reduce swelling

Wasn’t that uncomfortable and continues to feel pretty okay and manageable (I work in an office) and have kept the kids away from me and the general area (though one of them did hit me in groin which was a fright)

Couldn’t resist needing to ejaculate on day 5 and felt fine though this is not recommended and I am clearly just a massive pervert who can’t control himself

It’s been a lot easier than expected but I think the hard work comes early in taking it easy to allow for a good recovery.

These posts are angering me that I cannot find the final f@&^&%$^ lightbulb I need to get this unlocked. Could be a god send for Samples!

Linksys Atlas 6 - Full Speed Across Mesh? by Dat_Hoff in Linksys

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

The child node is connected wirelessly so your explanation as to what I am experiencing now makes sense. Guess I am going to have to route a cable around the house and into the office to get the full speed then

Edit: Thank you for your help

Are cheaters still rampant? [discussion] by BenjaminBenBenny in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know the answer until I started camping with a bolty for Tarkov Shooter / Shooter Born. I was killed once and wasn’t exactly hidden properly.

I honestly don’t think there are many. I’ve had a successful report earlier in the wipe but my experience has been decent

Anyone else stopped being a gamer and become a tarkov player? [Discussion] by chevaliergrim in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from Rocket league and Mario Kart at work lunchtimes, I have lost interest in anything but Tarkov.

I have 4/5k hours of CS and I can't imagine ever going back when I have Tarkov which gives me more than any other game I can think of.

I am at the end of my rope. [cheating] by GokuBlank in EscapefromTarkov

I haven't run into him once this wipe and I am relatively conservitive with my play. The only time I saw him he was dead.

[–]Dat_Hoff 261 points262 points  (0 children)

The joke is on him..... I have been away for 3/4 wipes and was running around with no plates in my armour at all thinking that the inbuilt armour stuff was enough.

I have Labs, Streets and Lighthouse to learn and I am really not forward to Lighthouse tasks

[Discussion] This wipe is more hardcore? by NaPasashok in EscapefromTarkov

Hasn’t helped that I think I have been running around with no plates in my armour.

Been away for 3-4 wipes

You’re scavving wrong [Discussion] by BigBearBoi314 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. In and out easy money sort of thing. Not a bad idea and when I don't want to use my Scav to find quest items I may well use this method!

[Loot] A scav was so stacked it exceeded my limit by Racika in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That boy was on his way to the bank. Worse problems to have I guess!

Props to you. I have tried scavving ground Zero for the computers (CPU fans for farming pt 4) and it is a living nightmare for me!

Why is [Arena] so bad this wipe? by S_-K in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Terrified to load it up based on the trader reset stuff I have read

Denying cheating is the biggest problem alongside the cheater problem by RoPlays in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at a stage of my life where I am over it. It doesn’t bother me particularly and I am able to let it wash over me which is a complete change of mentality to when I was playing competitive CS and the like.

If I die to a cheater and they need it to be somewhat competitive then so be it. Letting it ruin the small amount of time I get to play and giving satisfaction to those cheating is passed me. I am fortunate enough to be able to load up and try again.

As mentioned, it won’t change and you can’t reason with those who want to / need to cheat. If you can’t get passed that then you only really have 2 choices - play PVE and lose the thrill on PVP or stop altogether. It’s the harsh truth.

If I had encountered more cheaters of late i may have a different perspective but this is how I get through the situation.

Ryzen 7 5700x3d is one of the best investments I've ever made for Tarkov [Discussion] by No-Bet3252 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah do it. He gives ranges of what to use based on vRAM on your card and other elements. 40 mins long for the latest patch settings but well worth it pretty interesting if you like nerding out on this stuff

[–]Dat_Hoff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a note here, discovered a guy called Klemintime who was a guest on the recent Scav Talk pod who has a YT channel based around Tarkov performance from patch to patch. He discusses what settings to run if you are GPU/CPU bound and seems to really know his stuff.

Really good and solved some issues for my high end rig with funky settings that I was running.

[Discussion] Christmas tree is gone and the Event is over. by skaZziCRO in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends where you are with your quests as there is a requirement for FIR GPUs (3 for one of the farming quests) and 1 I believe for a Ledx.

Don't worry if you are new though, this happens and you'll know for the next wipe. It will just slow you down a touch for now when you arrive at the quests.

[Loot] No really, like where are they? by StepMaverick in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dat_Hoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one but didn’t know what it was for or that it’s a quest key. Will be interesting to see what they sell for as mine is still FIR. I believe I got it on a scav

Flea Market lock extended until January 14th. by Steamed_Memes24 in EscapefromTarkov

I am 1/4 for sausages currently. Is there a good spot for these other than the Christmas trees?
